EPF10K30RC208-4

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The EPF10K30RC208-4 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Altera’s FLEX 10K family, housed in a 208-pin RQFP package with an exposed pad. It features 1,728 logic elements organized into 216 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) and includes 6 Embedded Array Blocks (EABs). The device provides 12,288 total RAM bits and supports up to 147 user I/O pins. It operates on a single 5.0-V supply voltage within the range of 4.75V to 5.25V and is rated for commercial temperatures from 0°C to 70°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Embedded programmable logic architecture combining general-purpose logic arrays with dedicated embedded array blocks for memory and complex functions.
• FastTrack Interconnect structure providing continuous routing channels for predictable interconnect delays.
• Built-in JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990.
• Support for MultiVolt I/O interface allowing compatibility with 2.5-V, 3.3-V, or 5.0-V devices.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration
• Implementation of megafunctions such as efficient memory and specialized logic
• PCI Local Bus Specification compliance

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and speed grade. Check for any Product Change Notifications (PCNs) regarding packaging or material updates. Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity levels appropriate for surface-mount technology.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a 5.0-V supply is required, as other variants in the series may support 3.3-V operation. Compare logic element counts against design complexity requirements; this unit offers 1,728 LEs. Verify pin count needs, as the 208-pin package limits maximum user I/O to 147. Consider thermal management capabilities within the 0°C to 70°C operating range for the final application environment.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the FLEX 10K family, recognized as the industry's first embedded programmable logic device family. It utilizes reconfigurable CMOS SRAM elements and the Flexible Logic Element MatriX (FLEX) architecture. The family enables high-density integration with typical gate counts ranging from 10,000 to 250,000.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations
