EPF10K50VQC240-2

The EPF10K50VQC240-2 is a FLEX 10K family embedded programmable logic device from Intel, delivered in a 240-pin BFQFP package. It combines a logic array and embedded memory to implement megafunctions, general logic, and I/O-rich designs for commercial applications.

This device targets mid-range density designs that require a balance of logic capacity, on-chip RAM, and a substantial number of I/O pins. Key on-board capabilities include 2,880 logic elements, approximately 20,480 bits of embedded RAM, and 189 user I/O pins, with a 3 V to 3.6 V supply and commercial temperature grading.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  2,880 logic elements distributed across 360 LABs provide a mid-range programmable logic fabric suitable for complex control and glue-logic functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 20,480 bits of on-chip RAM support storage for FIFOs, small buffers, and megafunctions without consuming logic capacity.
• I/O Density  189 user I/O pins enable broad external interfacing and system connectivity for multi-signal applications.
• Gate Scale  Typical maximum system gate count up to 116,000, allowing integration of sizable logic blocks alongside embedded memory.
• Configuration & Test  In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device or JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) enables device programming and board-level test without using device logic.
• Clock and Timing  Built‑in low-skew clock distribution and options such as ClockLock™ and ClockBoost™ (as provided in the FLEX 10K family) help control clock delay and skew for synchronous designs.
• Flexible Routing  FastTrack® interconnect and dedicated carry/cascade chains simplify implementation of arithmetic and high‑fan‑in logic functions using automatic tool support.
• Power  Operates from a 3 V to 3.6 V supply range; designed for low-power standby behavior as described for the FLEX 10K family.
• Package & Mounting  Surface-mount 240-BFQFP package (supplier device package listed as 240-PQFP 32×32) suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.
• Commercial Grade & Compliance  Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration  Embedded array and logic array structure make this device suitable for integrating megafunctions and custom logic in compact SOPC designs.
• Memory and buffering  On-chip RAM (approximately 20,480 bits) supports buffering, FIFOs, and memory-intensive megafunctions without external SRAM.
• I/O-rich control systems  With 189 user I/O pins, the device can serve as an interface hub for sensor aggregation, peripheral control, and multi-channel digital I/O tasks.
• Custom logic and glue logic  2,880 logic elements accommodate state machines, protocol handling, and data-path logic that glue heterogeneous system components together.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range capacity: 2,880 logic elements and up to 116,000 gates deliver a practical compromise between density and cost for many commercial designs.
• Integrated on-chip RAM: Approximately 20,480 bits of embedded memory reduce external component count and simplify board-level memory requirements.
• High I/O count: 189 user I/O pins enable complex interfacing without resorting to external I/O expanders.
• In-circuit reconfiguration and JTAG: Supports field programming and boundary-scan testing for easier deployment and manufacturing test flows.
• Deterministic routing primitives: Dedicated carry and cascade chains, plus the FastTrack interconnect architecture, simplify implementation of arithmetic and high‑fan‑in logic using automated tools.
• Vendor ecosystem support: FLEX 10K family features and documented tool support help accelerate design entry, synthesis, and place-and-route workflows.
