EP1K100FC256-1N

Overview

The EP1K100FC256-1N is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the Altera ACEX 1K family. It features 4992 logic elements, 624 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), and 186 I/O pins within a 256-pin FBGA package. The device integrates 48 kbit of embedded memory and operates at a maximum frequency of 80 MHz. Designed for commercial applications, it functions at a supply voltage of 2.5 V with an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. This component supports MultiVolt I/O capabilities, allowing compatibility with 2.5-V, 3.3-V, or 5.0-V devices.

Feature Summary

• ACEX 1K architecture with 4992 LEs and 624 LABs
• 48 kbit embedded memory with dual-port capability
• MultiVolt I/O supporting 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5.0V levels
• PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2 compliant

Applications

• High-performance communications systems
• System-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration
• PCI bus interface implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1N' against official datasheets, as standard listings often reference the 'EP1K100FC256-2'. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as some variants in this series are marked non-compliant. Check for End-of-Life (EOL) status and availability through authorized distributors or secondary markets due to discontinuation.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring 100K gate density with a 256-pin FBGA footprint. Ensure the design utilizes the 2.5V core voltage while accommodating necessary I/O voltage levels via MultiVolt support. Compare pin counts and LAB requirements against the EP1K100FI256-2 if industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C) are required instead of commercial grades.

Part Context

This part is part of the ACEX 1K family, which was succeeded by the Stratix and MAX families. Altera was acquired by Intel, and these legacy FPGAs are now managed under Intel's portfolio. The EP1K100 represents the higher end of the original ACEX 1K density offerings.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly confirmed for the exact '1N' suffix variant. Consider the EP1K100FC256-2 for functional equivalence, though speed grade differences exist. For modern migration, evaluate Intel MAX 10 or Agilex families.
