EPF10K50VBC356-3N

The EPF10K50VBC356-3N is a FLEX 10K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) packaged in a 356-LBGA. It combines a logic array and embedded array blocks to implement general logic alongside dedicated megafunctions such as on-chip memory and specialized logic structures.

Designed for commercial embedded applications, this device delivers a balance of logic capacity, on-chip RAM, and flexible I/O in a space-efficient BGA package, and is suitable for system-level integration including System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) implementations.

Key Features

• Core — FLEX 10K architecture 2,880 logic elements and 360 logic array blocks (LABs) provide the device’s core programmable fabric for implementing combinational and sequential logic.
• Logic capacity Up to 116,000 maximum system gates (device-specific typical gates and system gate figures are defined by the FLEX 10K family).
• Embedded memory 20,480 total RAM bits implemented across embedded array blocks (EABs) for on-chip storage and memory-mapped megafunctions.
• I/O capability 274 user I/O pins with per-pin features such as individual tri-state output enable, open-drain option, and programmable output slew-rate control for flexible interface design.
• Supply and temperature Single-supply operation from 3.0 V to 3.6 V; commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Package and mounting 356-LBGA package (356-BGA, 35 × 35) optimized for surface-mount PCB assembly and high pin-count routing.
• In-system configurability and test Supports in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices or JTAG; built-in IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry is available without consuming device logic.
• System-level features Integrated features from the FLEX 10K family such as FastTrack continuous routing, dedicated carry and cascade chains, low-skew clock distribution, and ClockLock/ClockBoost options help implement high-performance arithmetic and clocking structures.
• Compliance RoHS compliant and supplied as a commercial-grade device.

Typical Applications

• SOPC and embedded controllers — Use the embedded arrays and logic fabric to integrate memory and specialized functions into system-on-programmable-chip designs.
• Memory-intensive logic — On-chip RAM and EABs support buffering, small data stores, and megafunctions without external memory in many applications.
• Peripheral and bus interfacing — FLEX 10K family support for PCI Local Bus Specification (as documented for FLEX 10K devices) and flexible I/O make the device suitable for interface and bridging logic.
• I/O-rich control and glue logic — High I/O count and per-pin control are useful for protocol translation, sensor aggregation, and board-level control tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory — 2,880 logic elements combined with 20,480 bits of embedded RAM enable mixed compute-and-data tasks on a single device, reducing the need for external components.
• Flexible I/O control — Per-pin tri-state enable, open-drain option, and slew-rate programmability simplify interface design and signal integrity tuning.
• In-system reconfigurability and testability — JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfiguration options streamline development, deployment, and field updates without consuming user logic.
• Proven system features — Dedicated carry/cascade chains, FastTrack routing, and low-skew clock trees facilitate efficient implementation of arithmetic functions and timing-sensitive designs.
• Space-efficient packaging — 356-LBGA package supports high pin count and board area savings for dense designs.
• Vendor toolchain support — FLEX 10K family devices are supported by Altera development systems for design entry, place-and-route, and megafunction generation (as documented for the family).
