EPF10K50SFC256-1N

The EPF10K50SFC256-1N is a FLEX 10K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) optimized for embedded programmable-logic applications and system-level integration. As an embedded programmable logic device, it combines a logic array and embedded memory to support custom digital functions and megafunctions for SOPC-style designs.

Targeted at commercial applications, this surface-mount 256-BGA device delivers a balanced mix of logic capacity, on-chip RAM, and I/O count for mid-range programmable designs where integration, reconfigurability, and board-space efficiency are important.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements available to implement custom digital logic and control functions; the device lists 199,000 gates.
• On‑Chip Memory — 40,960 bits of embedded RAM to support data buffering, lookup tables, and memory-based megafunctions.
• I/O and Packaging — 191 user I/O pins in a 256-FBGA (17×17) surface-mount package, enabling compact board designs with substantial external-device connectivity.
• Supply Voltage — Operates from 2.375 V to 2.625 V for core or specified supply domains.
• Operating Range & Grade — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Testability — Built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990) available for in-system test and configuration without using device logic.
• Family Capabilities — As part of the FLEX 10K family, the device benefits from the series’ embedded-array architecture, support for megafunctions, and features such as in-circuit reconfigurability and built-in clock distribution options (series-level characteristics).
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant build for environmentally conscious designs.

Typical Applications

• System Integration — Implement SOPC-style integration and glue logic between processors, memories, and peripherals using the device’s mix of logic elements and embedded RAM.
• Custom Control Logic — Ideal for control and state-machine implementations in commercial equipment where reprogrammability and moderate logic capacity are required.
• Memory-Based Functions — Use the on-chip RAM for FIFOs, small data buffers, and lookup-table storage in data-path and protocol implementations.
• Prototyping and Development — Useful for hardware proof-of-concept and iterative design work thanks to in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG support.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Performance and Capacity — 2,880 logic elements combined with 40,960 bits of RAM provide a practical balance for mid-range programmable logic needs.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package — 191 I/O pins in a 256-FBGA (17×17) package enable dense board layouts while preserving connectivity for external interfaces and peripherals.
• Enhanced Test and Reconfiguration — Built-in JTAG boundary-scan and support for in-circuit reconfigurability simplify testing and field updates without consuming user logic.
• Commercial-Grade Qualification — Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, suitable for a wide range of commercial embedded products.
• Standby Power Considerations — FLEX 10K family documentation cites low standby-power behavior for many devices, supporting designs with power-aware modes (series-level information).
• RoHS Compliant — Environmentally compliant manufacturing for easier integration into regulated product lines.
