EPF10K50RC240-3N

The EPF10K50RC240-3N is a member of the FLEX 10K embedded programmable logic device family. It combines a logic array and embedded array resources to enable System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration for commercial embedded designs.

With 2,880 logic elements, approximately 20,480 bits of on-chip RAM and 189 user I/Os in a 240-pin BFQFP exposed‑pad package, this device targets commercial applications that require moderate logic capacity, integrated memory, and flexible I/O in a surface-mount form factor.

Key Features

• Core Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements (LEs) and a typical gate estimate of 50,000, with maximum system gates listed as 116,000 for the family.
• Embedded Memory — 20,480 total RAM bits provided by embedded array blocks, enabling local buffering and small on-chip data storage.
• I/O and Interface — 189 user I/O pins to support a broad set of external peripherals and interfaces for commercial embedded systems.
• Supply Voltage — Designed for 5.0-V systems with a specified voltage supply range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
• Packaging & Mounting — 240‑BFQFP exposed pad package (supplier device package: 240‑RQFP 32×32), surface-mount mounting for compact board integration and thermal relief via exposed pad.
• Operating Range & Grade — Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• System Features — Family-level capabilities include in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device or JTAG, built-in IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan, low-skew clock distribution, dedicated carry and cascade chains for arithmetic and high-fan-in logic, and options such as ClockLock and ClockBoost.
• RoHS Compliant — Device is RoHS compliant for lead-free assembly requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control & SOPC Integration — Use the device to consolidate glue logic, peripheral control and small custom processors within commercial embedded products.
• Interface Bridging & I/O Expansion — 189 user I/Os provide headroom for protocol translation, bus bridging and interfacing between components in commercial systems.
• On‑board Memory and Buffering — Built-in RAM (20,480 bits) is suitable for small FIFOs, buffering and state storage without external memory in a range of commercial applications.
• Development & Prototyping — The FLEX 10K family’s support for in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan makes the device useful for prototype designs and iterative hardware development.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory — 2,880 logic elements with 20,480 bits of embedded RAM provide a balanced resource mix for control, glue logic and modest data buffering.
• High I/O count in a compact package — 189 user I/Os in a 240-pin BFQFP exposed-pad package enable significant interface capability while preserving board space.
• 5-V system compatibility — Specified 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply range aligns the device with legacy and commercial 5.0-V systems.
• Design and test support — Built-in JTAG boundary-scan and family-level support for in-circuit reconfiguration simplify bring-up, debugging and production test.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliance — Commercial operating range (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS compliance support standard commercial manufacturing and deployments.
• Surface-mount integration with thermal pad — Exposed pad BFQFP package improves thermal performance and mechanical stability for dense board layouts.
