EPF10K50SQC240-3N

The EPF10K50SQC240-3N is a FLEX 10K family field-programmable gate array offering medium-density programmable logic with embedded memory and a broad I/O complement. Built for System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration, the device combines logic array resources and embedded RAM to implement custom logic, glue functions, and on-chip megafunctions.

This surface-mount, commercial-grade FPGA combines 2,880 logic elements across 360 logic array blocks with approximately 40,960 bits of embedded RAM and 189 user I/O pins, delivering a balanced platform for moderate-complexity designs that require in-field reconfigurability and flexible I/O.

Key Features

• Core Capacity  2,880 logic elements across 360 logic array blocks provide the programmable logic resources needed for medium-complexity digital designs; the device is specified with 199,000 gates.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 40,960 bits of on-chip RAM support embedded functions and megafunctions without sacrificing logic capacity.
• I/O Resources  189 user I/O pins suitable for interfacing to peripherals and external devices; series-level I/O capabilities include individual tri-state control and programmable output options referenced in the FLEX 10K family documentation.
• Reconfigurability & Test  Supports in-circuit reconfigurability and includes JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE Std. 1149.1) for device test and programming as described in the FLEX 10K family materials.
• Interconnect & Arithmetic Support  Family features such as the FastTrack interconnect, dedicated carry and cascade chains, and low-skew clock distribution are available for implementing high-speed arithmetic and predictable routing.
• Power & Grade  Specified operating supply range: 2.375 V to 2.625 V. Commercial-grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Package & Mounting  240-pin BFQFP (supplier device package: 240-PQFP, 32×32) in a surface-mount format for standard PCB assembly processes.
• Family Design Support  Part of the FLEX 10K family; the datasheet references development-system support and family-level megafunctions for design entry, place-and-route, and simulation.

Typical Applications

• SOPC Integration  Implement system-level functions and glue logic where embedded memory and programmable logic are used to integrate peripheral functions on a single programmable device.
• Interface Bridging  Use the device’s moderate I/O count and programmable logic to implement protocol translation, bus interfacing, and custom peripheral interfaces.
• Prototyping & Development  Suitable for prototyping medium-complexity designs that require iterative firmware and hardware changes, leveraging in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG support.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory  Combines 2,880 logic elements with approximately 40,960 bits of embedded RAM to implement both control logic and local storage without external memory for many designs.
• Flexible I/O  A 189-pin I/O complement enables multiple peripheral connections and board-level integration while supporting family-level I/O configurability options.
• Reconfigurable System Integration  In-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan simplify updates, testing, and field-level reprogramming during development and deployment.
• Predictable Performance Building Blocks  FastTrack routing, dedicated carry/cascade chains, and low-skew clock distribution (as described for the FLEX 10K family) help implement arithmetic, counting, and high-fan-in logic efficiently.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability  Designed for commercial-temperature systems (0 °C to 70 °C) with surface-mount packaging for standard production assembly.

Why Choose EPF10K50SQC240-3N?
