EPF10K50VRC240-3N

The EPF10K50VRC240-3N is an Intel FLEX 10K family FPGA delivering embedded programmable logic and on-chip memory for system-level integration. Built for reconfigurable designs, this device combines logic array blocks and embedded array blocks to implement custom logic, memory, and peripheral functions in a single IC.

Designed for commercial embedded and electronic applications, the device provides reconfigurability, a broad I/O count, and package options that suit board-level integration, while operating from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply and across a 0 °C to 70 °C commercial temperature range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements (LEs) and a maximum system gate count of 116,000 provide substantial combinatorial and sequential resources for custom logic implementation.
• Logic Array Blocks (LABs) — 360 LABs (logic array blocks) support structured logic mapping and predictable routing for automated place-and-route flows.
• Embedded Memory — 20,480 total RAM bits across embedded array blocks enable on-chip storage for FIFOs, buffers, and small tables without reducing core logic capacity.
• I/O and Interfaces — 189 user I/O pins provide flexible external connectivity for sensors, peripherals, and high-pin-count interfaces; individual pin attributes are supported by the FLEX 10K architecture.
• Package and Mounting — 240-BFQFP with exposed pad (supplier package: 240-RQFP 32×32) in a surface-mount format for board-level assembly.
• Power and Temperature — Operates from 3.0 V to 3.6 V and rated for commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Reconfigurability and Test — Supports in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices or JTAG; built-in IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan facilitates board-level test without consuming device logic.
• System-Level Features — FLEX 10K family capabilities such as FastTrack interconnect, dedicated carry and cascade chains, ClockLock and ClockBoost options, and multi-volt I/O support (as defined by the family) help implement arithmetic functions, low-skew clocking, and predictable routing.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant, supporting environmental and regulatory requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control, glue logic, and peripheral aggregation where on-chip memory and reconfigurable logic accelerate time-to-market.
• Prototyping and Development — Use as a reprogrammable platform for hardware validation, algorithm testing, and iterative design refinement.
• Peripheral and I/O Expansion — Aggregate, translate, or buffer multiple external interfaces using the device’s high I/O count and embedded memory blocks.
• Custom Logic Acceleration — Offload application-specific functions such as arithmetic engines or state machines to dedicated logic and carry/cascade chains.

Unique Advantages

• Reconfigurable System Integration: Embedded arrays and logic array blocks enable implementation of megafunctions and custom logic on a single device, reducing component count.
• Predictable Routing and Performance: FastTrack interconnect and dedicated carry/cascade chains provide predictable routing and efficient implementation of arithmetic and high-fan-in functions.
• High I/O Density in a Compact Package: 189 user I/Os in a 240-pin BFQFP package permit high connector or peripheral connectivity while maintaining a compact board footprint.
• Design and Test Support: Built-in JTAG boundary-scan and documented software design support in the FLEX 10K family simplify board bring-up and manufacturing test.
• Environmentally Compliant: RoHS compliance supports lead-free assembly requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.
