EPF10K50VBC356-1

The EPF10K50VBC356-1 is a FLEX 10K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) optimized for system-level integration and mid-range logic designs. It combines a logic array and embedded array blocks to implement custom logic and on-chip memory for embedded and system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) applications.

Key hardware characteristics include 2,880 logic elements, approximately 20,480 bits of embedded RAM, up to 116,000 maximum system gates, and 274 user I/O pins in a 356-ball BGA (35×35) surface-mount package. The device operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply and is specified for commercial temperature operation (0 °C to 70 °C).

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  2,880 logic elements and a maximum system gate count of 116,000 provide capacity for medium-complexity logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 20,480 bits of embedded RAM distributed across embedded array blocks for efficient on-chip buffering and state storage.
• I/O Resources  274 user I/O pins support multiple external interfaces and signal-rich designs while enabling flexible board-level integration.
• Reconfiguration and Test  In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices, intelligent controllers, or the JTAG port and built-in IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support for board-level testing.
• Clocking and Performance Options  Built-in low-skew clock distribution trees with ClockLock and ClockBoost options available within the FLEX 10K family to manage clock delay, skew, and multiplication requirements.
• Dedicated Logic Structures  Dedicated carry and cascade chains available for efficient implementation of arithmetic and high-fan-in functions.
• Package and Mounting  356-ball LBGA (356-BGA, 35×35) surface-mount package for compact board footprint and high pin density.
• Power and Environmental  Operates from 3.0 V to 3.6 V and is RoHS compliant; specified for commercial-grade ambient temperatures (0 °C to 70 °C).

Typical Applications

• Embedded Systems  Implement custom control logic, glue logic, and SOPC components where moderate logic density and embedded RAM are required.
• Memory and Buffer Management  Use the device's embedded RAM blocks for small on-chip buffers, FIFOs, or temporary data storage in streaming or packetized systems.
• Interface and I/O Aggregation  Consolidate multiple external signals and protocol interfaces using the device’s 274 user I/Os to simplify board-level routing and reduce external glue logic.
• Prototyping and Custom Logic  Rapidly iterate and validate mid-complexity digital designs with in-circuit reconfigurability and boundary-scan test support.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory:  Combines 2,880 logic elements with roughly 20.5 kbits of embedded RAM to support mixed logic-plus-memory functions on a single device.
• Strong I/O Count:  274 user I/Os enable consolidation of multiple interfaces and reduce the need for external interfacing components.
• Field Reconfigurability:  In-circuit reconfiguration and JTAG boundary-scan support simplify updates and board-level validation.
• Compact High-Density Package:  356-LBGA (35×35) surface-mount package delivers high pin density in a compact footprint for space-constrained PCBs.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance:  Designed for mainstream electronic products with a 0 °C to 70 °C operating range and RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment.
• FLEX 10K Tooling Support:  Supported by FLEX 10K family design features such as automated place-and-route and family-level clock and interconnect optimizations, enabling faster design cycles.
