EPF10K50STC144-3

The EPF10K50STC144-3 is a FLEX 10K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) optimized for commercial embedded logic applications. It combines an embedded array architecture with a separate logic array to deliver on-chip memory and programmable logic resources for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) designs.

Targeted at embedded systems, communications and consumer electronics, the device provides a balance of logic capacity, on-chip RAM and flexible I/O in a compact 144-pin surface-mount package.

Key Features

• Programmable logic core — 2,880 logic elements provide the configurable fabric for implementing custom logic and state machines.
• On-chip memory — Total RAM bits: 40,960 available for embedded data storage and buffering.
• I/O resources — 102 user I/O pins to interface with peripherals, sensors and external devices.
• Gate capacity — 199,000 gates to support complex designs combining logic and memory.
• Power and supply — Operates from a supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V, suitable for designs with defined voltage rails.
• Package and mounting — Supplied in a 144-LQFP package (supplier package: 144-TQFP 20×20); surface-mount for PCB assembly.
• Commercial temperature grade — Rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C for standard commercial applications.
• Manufacturing and compliance — RoHS compliant and provided in a fully test-qualified device family.
• Series-level system features — Series documentation highlights in-circuit reconfigurability, built-in JTAG boundary-scan, FastTrack interconnect for predictable routing, and dedicated carry/cascade chains for arithmetic and high fan-in logic.
• Clock and I/O flexibility — Series options include ClockLock and ClockBoost for clock management, low-skew clock distribution, programmable I/O slew-rate control, tri-state and open-drain options to adapt signal behavior.

Typical Applications

• Embedded controllers — Implement custom control logic, state machines and peripheral glue logic using the device’s logic elements and on-chip RAM.
• Communications and networking — Use the available logic fabric and RAM for packet buffering, protocol handling and interface bridging.
• Consumer electronics — Drive display controllers, user interface logic and device orchestration where compact package and flexible I/O are required.
• Prototyping and development — Rapidly iterate hardware designs with reconfigurable logic and JTAG boundary-scan support for debug.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced integration: Combines 2,880 logic elements with 40,960 bits of on-chip RAM to consolidate logic and memory functions on a single device, reducing external components.
• Flexible I/O and signaling: 102 user I/Os with programmable slew-rate, tri-state and open-drain options simplify interfacing to a variety of peripherals.
• Configurable system features: In-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan provide deployment flexibility and streamlined debug and programming workflows.
• Clock and arithmetic support: Dedicated carry and cascade chains plus low-skew clock trees enable efficient implementation of high-speed arithmetic and synchronized logic.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Designed for standard commercial temperature ranges (0 °C to 70 °C) and supplied RoHS compliant for contemporary manufacturing.
