EPF10K50VBC356-4

The EPF10K50VBC356-4 is a FLEX-10K family FPGA from Intel, offered in a 356-ball LGA package. It combines a mid-range logic array with embedded memory and a high pin count to address general-purpose programmable logic tasks in commercial designs.

This device provides 2,880 logic elements, approximately 20,480 bits of embedded RAM, and 274 user I/O pins, making it suitable for applications that require moderate logic density, on-chip memory, and flexible I/O connectivity while operating from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  2,880 logic elements and 360 LABs provide mid-range programmable logic resources for glue logic, control functions, and custom state machines.
• On-Chip Memory  Approximately 20,480 bits of embedded RAM support local buffering, small data tables, and packet or frame storage without external memory.
• Gate Equivalent  Device supports up to 116,000 maximum system gates, providing headroom for mixed logic and memory implementations within the FLEX-10K architecture.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility  274 user I/O pins allow extensive external connectivity and support for multi-signal interfaces in compact board layouts.
• Supply and Power  Operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply range consistent with 3.3 V system designs.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation for standard commercial applications.
• Package  356-ball L-BGA (35 × 35 mm) FineLine-style package optimizes board area while providing high pin density.
• Test and Configuration Features (Series-Level)  FLEX 10K family devices include features such as JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfigurability options (as documented in the FLEX-10K family datasheet).
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant for lead-free assembly and regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control  Integrate custom control logic and state machines for consumer and commercial devices that require moderate logic and on-chip memory.
• I/O Expansion and Interface Bridging  Use the device’s 274 I/Os to implement protocol bridges, level translation controllers, or multi-port interface hubs.
• Prototyping and System Integration  Mid-density logic and embedded RAM make the FPGA suitable for proof-of-concept systems and consolidating discrete logic into a single programmable device.
• Peripheral and Timing Logic  Implement timing-critical glue logic, counters, and peripheral registers leveraging the device’s dedicated routing and clock structures documented for the FLEX-10K family.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Mid-Range Capacity:  Combines 2,880 logic elements with up to 116,000 system-gate equivalence to support complex glue logic and modest system functions without up-sizing the design.
• Embedded Memory On-Chip:  Approximately 20,480 bits of RAM reduce dependency on external memory for small buffers and tables, simplifying board-level BOM and routing.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package:  274 user I/Os in a 356-LBGA footprint enable dense connector and peripheral interfacing while conserving PCB area.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability:  Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliance for use in standard commercial products and assemblies.
• Flexible Configuration Options:  FLEX-10K family features documented in the datasheet (for example, JTAG and in-circuit reconfigurability) support development workflows and field updates.
