EPF10K50SQC208-1X

The EPF10K50SQC208-1X is a FLEX-10KS family field programmable gate array manufactured by Intel, delivering a combination of on-chip memory and reprogrammable logic in a 208‑pin BFQFP package. It integrates 2,880 logic elements across 360 LABs and provides 40,960 bits of embedded RAM alongside 147 user I/O pins, making it suitable for commercial embedded designs that require moderate logic density and significant on-chip memory.

Designed for system-level integration, the device supports in-circuit reconfigurability and family-level features such as embedded arrays for megafunction implementation and dedicated interconnect and arithmetic chains, enabling efficient implementation of memory-intensive and specialized logic functions in surface-mount designs.

Key Features

• Core logic — 2,880 logic elements implemented across 360 LABs, providing a fixed, verifiable logic capacity for medium-complexity FPGA designs.
• Embedded memory — 40,960 total RAM bits of on-chip memory for implementing buffers, FIFOs, and other memory-intensive megafunctions without consuming logic element capacity.
• I/O density — 147 user I/O pins to support a broad range of external interfaces and signal routing in I/O‑heavy applications.
• System-level programmability — In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device or JTAG port and built-in JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry for board-level test and reconfiguration.
• Dedicated arithmetic and routing — Family-level features include dedicated carry chains and cascade chains plus the FastTrack interconnect structure for predictable routing and efficient implementation of adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic.
• Package & mounting — Supplied in a 208‑BFQFP (208‑PQFP 28×28) surface-mount package for standard PCB assembly.
• Power and temperature — Voltage supply range 2.375 V to 2.625 V and operating temperature range 0 °C to 70 °C, targeted for commercial-grade applications.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• System-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration — Use the device’s embedded arrays and reprogrammable logic to integrate memory and specialized logic functions in compact SOPC designs.
• Memory‑intensive logic — The 40,960 bits of on-chip RAM are well suited for data buffering, FIFOs, and packet-handling functions in communications and embedded systems.
• I/O control and interface bridging — With 147 I/O pins, the device can consolidate multiple peripheral interfaces and handle complex signal routing for custom control panels or protocol converters.
• Prototyping and product development — Reconfigurability and built-in JTAG support enable iterative hardware development, testing, and boundary-scan verification during product bring-up.

Unique Advantages

• Significant on-chip RAM: 40,960 bits of embedded memory reduce external memory requirements and simplify board-level BOM for memory-centric functions.
• Balanced logic and I/O: 2,880 logic elements paired with 147 I/Os provide a practical balance for designs that need both logic capacity and moderate peripheral connectivity.
• Reconfigurable design flow: In-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan support speed up development cycles and enable field updates without board replacement.
• Efficient arithmetic and routing: Dedicated carry and cascade chains plus FastTrack interconnect help implement arithmetic-heavy and high-fan-in logic efficiently.
• Commercial-grade readiness: Surface-mount 208‑BFQFP packaging, defined supply and temperature ranges, and RoHS compliance align the device to commercial embedded product requirements.
