Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade (-3) against timing requirements, as performance varies across grades. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as older FLEX 10K variants may not meet current environmental standards. Ensure design tools support the legacy FLEX 10K architecture for compilation and simulation.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 30,000 typical gates and 12,288 RAM bits are required within a 484-pin BGA footprint. The -3 speed grade offers a balance between density and performance. Consider pin compatibility if migrating from other FLEX 10K devices in the same package type.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component is part of the FLEX 10K family, recognized as the industry's first embedded PLD family. It combines general logic arrays with embedded array blocks for specialized functions. The EPF10K30 variant specifically targets designs requiring moderate gate counts with significant embedded memory capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include other EPF10K30 variants with different speed grades or voltage options, such as EPF10K30ABC356-3 (different package) or EPF10K30ATI144-3 (different package). Verify pin compatibility using SameFrame migration guidelines.
