EPF10K50RI240-4

The EPF10K50RI240-4 is an Intel FLEX 10K family FPGA—an embedded programmable logic device that combines a configurable logic array with embedded memory resources for system-level integration. It delivers 2,880 logic elements, 20,480 bits of on-chip RAM and up to 189 user I/Os in a 240-pin BFQFP package with exposed pad.

Designed for industrial applications, this device operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and across an operating range of −40 °C to 85 °C, offering a robust platform for control, interface and embedded processing tasks where reconfigurability and I/O density are required.

Key Features

• Core logic  2,880 logic elements provide the programmable fabric for implementing custom logic and control functions.
• Embedded memory  20,480 bits of on-chip RAM support buffering, small FIFOs and megafunctions without reducing logic capacity.
• I/O density and flexibility  Up to 189 user I/O pins enable extensive peripheral interfacing and system connectivity.
• System-level integration  Family-level features include embedded arrays for megafunctions and support for System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration.
• Reconfiguration and test  In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices and built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (IEEE 1149.1) simplify development and board-level testing.
• Clock and arithmetic support  Dedicated carry and cascade chains plus low-skew global clock resources help implement fast arithmetic and high-fan-in logic efficiently.
• Power and I/O tolerance  Device-level support for 5.0-V operation (part-specified supply 4.5–5.5 V) enables integration into legacy 5-V systems.
• Package and thermal  240-BFQFP exposed pad (supplier package 240-RQFP 32×32) for surface-mount assembly; industrial-grade operating temperature −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded system integration  Use as a configurable SOPC element to consolidate logic, interface glue and small embedded functions into a single device.
• Industrial control and automation  Industrial-grade temperature range and high I/O count make it suitable for motor control, sensor interfaces and PLC-style control logic.
• Legacy 5-V platform interfacing  4.5–5.5 V supply tolerance supports integration with older 5-V peripherals and board designs.
• Data buffering and peripheral bridging  On-chip RAM and plentiful I/O allow implementation of small buffers, protocol adapters and interface translators.

Unique Advantages

• Configurable, system-level device: Embedded memory and programmable logic enable megafunctions and SOPC-style integration, reducing external component count.
• High I/O count for flexible interfacing: 189 user I/Os let you connect multiple peripherals and buses without immediate need for external expanders.
• Industrial-capable thermal range: Rated −40 °C to 85 °C to meet many industrial application temperature requirements.
• In-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG support: Simplifies firmware updates, field configuration and boundary-scan testing during development and production.
• Vendor pedigree: Part of the FLEX 10K family from Intel, providing series-level features such as carry/cascade chains and low-skew clock distribution.
