EPF10K50VFC484-2

The EPF10K50VFC484-2 is a FLEX 10K family field programmable gate array from Intel. It combines an embedded array for implementing megafunctions with a general logic array architecture to support system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration.

Designed for commercial embedded designs, this device provides a balance of logic capacity, on-chip RAM, and broad I/O capability for applications that require configurable logic, memory blocks, and flexible interfacing in a 484-ball BGA package.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 2,880 logic elements and up to 116,000 maximum system gates provide substantial programmable logic for glue logic, state machines, and custom datapaths.
• Embedded Memory 20,480 total RAM bits (approximately 20 Kbits) distributed across embedded array blocks (EABs), enabling on-chip storage for buffers, FIFOs, and lookup tables.
• I/O Scale 291 user I/O pins support wide peripheral and bus interfacing needs while providing per-pin control options available in the FLEX 10K family.
• Package & Mounting 484-ball BGA (supplier package: 484-FBGA, 23×23) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board integration.
• Supply & Temperature Operates from 3.0 V to 3.6 V with a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• System Features Family-level features include embedded array blocks for megafunctions, FastTrack interconnect, dedicated carry and cascade chains, and built-in JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) test circuitry.
• Clocking Options Supports family options such as ClockLock and ClockBoost for reduced clock delay/skew and clock multiplication (family-level capability).
• Power and Test FLEX 10K family documentation notes low standby current for many devices and 100% functional testing; this device is specified as commercial grade and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• SOPC and Embedded Systems Use the EPF10K50VFC484-2 to integrate custom logic and embedded memory into system-level designs for rapid prototyping and production SOPC implementations.
• Interface Bridging and Glue Logic High I/O count and flexible interconnect make this device suitable for implementing protocol translators, bus bridges, and custom interface logic.
• Custom Logic and Control Deploy as on-board programmable logic for control tasks, peripheral timing, and application-specific state machines that benefit from field programmability.
• PCI and Bus Peripheral Support Family documentation includes PCI Local Bus support options; the device can be used where PCI-compliant peripheral interfaces are required (family-level capability).

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory Mix The combination of 2,880 logic elements and 20,480 bits of embedded RAM supports a variety of mixed logic-plus-memory designs without external SRAM for many functions.
• High I/O Density 291 user I/O pins enable extensive external interfacing without adding gate arrays or CPLDs for I/O expansion.
• Compact Board Footprint 484-ball BGA packaging (23×23) offers high pin density in a surface-mount package to reduce PCB area for space-constrained designs.
• Family-Level Integration FLEX 10K family features—such as dedicated carry/cascade chains, embedded array blocks, and JTAG—support efficient implementation of arithmetic, high-fan-in logic, and testability.
• Commercial-Grade, RoHS Compliant Commercial temperature grade and RoHS compliance simplify procurement and environmental compliance tracking for commercial products.
