EPF10K50VFC484-1

The EPF10K50VFC484-1 is a member of the FLEX 10K embedded programmable logic family. It combines a dedicated logic array and embedded memory resources to enable System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration and implementation of megafunctions such as efficient on-chip memory and specialized logic functions.

With 2,880 logic elements, approximately 20,480 bits of embedded RAM, and 291 I/O pins in a 484-ball BGA package, this commercial-grade device targets applications that require mid-density programmable logic, substantial embedded memory, and high I/O count within a 3.0–3.6 V supply environment.

Key Features

• Core logic — 2,880 logic elements and 360 logic array blocks (LABs) provide mid-range logic capacity for custom state machines, datapaths, and control logic.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 20,480 bits of on-chip RAM implemented across embedded array blocks (EABs) to support buffering, lookup tables, and memory-based megafunctions.
• I/O and interfacing — 291 user I/O pins enable high-pin-count designs for bridging, peripheral aggregation, and multiple parallel interfaces.
• System-level integration — Architecture supports SOPC-style integration and megafunctions for combining memory and logic on a single device.
• Reconfiguration and test — In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices, intelligent controller, or JTAG; built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (BST) compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 without consuming device logic.
• Clocking options — ClockLock and ClockBoost options and built-in low-skew clock distribution trees for optimized clocking and reduced skew.
• Power and supply — Operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply range; family-level documentation notes low-power standby characteristics for many FLEX 10K devices.
• Package and mounting — 484-ball FineLine BGA (23 × 23) package, surface mount, maximizing board space efficiency for compact system designs.
• Commercial temperature grade — Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operating temperature and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control and SOPC integration — Use the device to implement customizable control logic and integrate memory-rich megafunctions for embedded systems.
• Memory-intensive logic — On-chip RAM supports buffering, FIFOs, and lookup tables for telecommunications, data-handling, or protocol processing functions.
• High-pin-count interface hubs — 291 I/O pins enable aggregation of multiple peripherals, sensor interfaces, or parallel bus bridging in compact board layouts.
• Field-updatable designs and prototyping — In-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG support facilitate iterative development, in-field updates, and manufacturing test integration.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated mid-density FPGA: Combines 2,880 logic elements with embedded RAM to reduce external component count and simplify system design.
• Substantial on-chip memory: Approximately 20,480 bits of embedded RAM across EABs supports memory-heavy functions without sacrificing logic capacity.
• Generous I/O capacity: 291 user I/O pins in a 484-ball BGA package enable flexible interfacing and high connector density on the board.
• In-system configurability and test: JTAG boundary-scan and multiple reconfiguration options streamline production test and allow in-field firmware updates.
• Clocking flexibility: Built-in low-skew distribution plus ClockLock/ClockBoost options help optimize timing for synchronous designs.
• Vendor toolchain support: The FLEX 10K family is supported by vendor development systems that provide automatic place-and-route and design entry for faster implementation.
