EPF10K50STC144-1X

The EPF10K50STC144-1X is a FLEX-10KS® FPGA offered by Intel. It provides a mid-range, reprogrammable logic platform combining thousands of logic elements with embedded memory and a moderate I/O count for versatile system integration.

This surface-mount FPGA is optimized for commercial-temperature designs that require on-chip memory and logic for control, interface, buffering, or custom peripheral functions. Key hardware characteristics include 2,880 logic elements, approximately 40,960 bits of embedded RAM, and 102 user I/O pins in a 144-LQFP package.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements enabling mid-range custom logic implementation and glue-logic consolidation.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 40,960 bits of on-chip RAM for data buffering, FIFOs, and small embedded storage requirements.
• I/O Resources — 102 user I/O pins suitable for interfacing with peripherals, sensors, and control signals on moderate-complexity boards.
• Gate Count — 199,000 gates indicating overall device complexity and integration potential.
• Package & Mounting — 144-LQFP (supplier device package: 144-TQFP 20×20) in a surface-mount format for PCB assembly in constrained footprints.
• Supply & Thermal — Specified supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V and commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Configuration & Test — Series-level features include in-circuit reconfigurability and built-in JTAG boundary-scan test capability as documented for the FLEX 10K family.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant for lead-free assembly and environmental conformity.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control — Implement control logic, state machines, and custom peripheral interfaces using the device’s logic elements and I/O resources.
• Data buffering and packet handling — Use the on-chip RAM for small FIFOs, temporary storage, and packet buffering in communication or sensor aggregation tasks.
• Prototyping and development — Reprogrammable fabric enables rapid iteration of hardware algorithms and interface logic during product development.
• Interface bridging — The combination of logic capacity and 102 I/Os supports protocol conversion and signal routing between subsystems on commercial boards.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range capacity: 2,880 logic elements and 199,000 gates provide a practical balance of resources for consolidation of discrete logic and small custom cores.
• On-chip memory for real tasks: Approximately 40,960 bits of embedded RAM reduce the need for external buffers in many control and data-handling applications.
• Ample I/O for peripheral integration: 102 user I/O pins allow direct interfacing to sensors, LEDs, buttons, headers, and other board-level peripherals.
• Surface-mount 144-LQFP package: Compact 20×20mm package supports PCB designs where board space and routing access are considerations.
• Commercial temperature rating and RoHS compliance: Ready for standard commercial electronics applications while meeting lead-free assembly requirements.
• Configurable and test-friendly: Family-level support for in-circuit reconfigurability and IEEE-1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan simplifies development and manufacturing test.
