EPF10K30AQC208-1N Overview

The Altera (Intel) EPF10K30AQC208-1N is a member of the FLEX 10KA family of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) housed in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (208-PQFP, 28x28 mm) package. The device integrates approximately 30,000 typical gates with 1,728 logic elements (LEs), 12,288 bits of embedded RAM, and 147 user I/O pins. It operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V core supply (commercial, 0 °C to 70 °C temperature grade) and supports in-system programmability via SRAM configuration.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a type of integrated circuit that can be configured by the customer or designer after manufacturing to implement arbitrary digital logic. FPGAs sit in the programmable-logic hierarchy above PLDs/CPLDs and below fixed-function ASICs, and are widely used for glue logic, prototyping, DSP, and high-speed interface bridging. The FLEX 10KA family from Altera was the industry's first embedded programmable logic family providing System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration through an embedded array block (EAB) architecture, allowing designers to mix dedicated RAM/ROM with LUT-based logic on a single die.

Key features of the EPF10K30AQC208-1N include 1,728 logic elements, 12 Kbits of embedded memory, 147 user I/Os, an internal frequency up to 80 MHz, and SRAM-based configuration that supports rapid prototyping and field updates. The '-1N' speed grade targets the commercial temperature range with standard timing closure. The 208-PQFP surface-mount package uses gull-wing leads, making it compatible with conventional SMT assembly lines and rework processes.

The FLEX 10KA architecture combines a coarse-grained Embedded Array Block (EAB) used to implement memory and complex arithmetic functions with a fine-grained Logic Array Block (LAB) used for general-purpose logic. The EPF10K30A places 6 EABs alongside 216 LABs on a 0.42 µm CMOS process, with each LAB containing 8 LEs. This hybrid fabric is efficient for datapath-heavy designs where distributed RAM and lookup tables coexist.

Typical applications for the EPF10K30AQC208-1N include telecom interface bridging, industrial control glue logic, legacy peripheral bus adaptation (PCI, ISA, VME), high-speed prototyping of ASIC replacements, and embedded memory buffering. Its 3.3 V core, 147 user I/Os, and SRAM programmability also make it attractive for educational platforms and FPGA training kits where the PQFP package simplifies hand-soldering.

Designers should plan a 3.3 V rail with adequate decoupling, route 147 user I/Os across four I/O banks with consistent bank voltage references, and select the correct configuration device (EPC2 or compatible) for SRAM configuration at power-up. Compared to modern flash-based FPGAs, the EPF10K30AQC208-1N requires an external configuration memory and is not 5 V tolerant on I/Os at the core's 3.3 V CMOS levels.

This page synthesizes distributor stock levels, cross-family FLEX 10KA drop-in options, application-specific companion parts, and practical design notes that go beyond what the original Altera datasheet provides alone.
