EPF10K30EQC208-1 Overview

The Intel EPF10K30EQC208-1 is a high-density, high-performance FLEX 10KE Field Programmable Gate Array delivering 30,000 typical gates, 1,728 logic elements, and 216 logic array blocks (LABs) in a 208-pin BQFP package with 147 user I/Os. Operating from a 2.5 V core supply (2.375 V–2.625 V) with 5.0 V tolerant I/O, the device integrates 24,576 bits of embedded SRAM and supports system frequencies up to 80 MHz.

An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor IC built around an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs/LABs), programmable interconnect, and I/O cells that can be re-programmed in-system to implement arbitrary digital logic. FPGAs sit between fixed-function ASICs and CPLDs in the programmable-logic hierarchy, offering higher density than CPLDs and faster time-to-market than ASICs. FPGAs are widely used for glue logic, bus interfacing, prototype ASICs, signal processing pipelines, and compute acceleration.

Key features of the EPF10K30EQC208-1 include 0.30 µm CMOS SRAM process technology, in-system programmability via the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface and Altera/Intel serial configuration schemes, 6 embedded array blocks (EABs) for true dual-port RAM, ROM, or FIFO, and built-in boundary-scan test support. The 208-BQFP (PQFP) package provides gull-wing leads on a 28×28 mm body with commercial 0 °C to +70 °C operating temperature range.

Architecturally, the FLEX 10KE family extends the original FLEX 10K with 2.5 V core operation, lower power, faster interconnect, and additional I/O standards. Each LAB contains eight logic elements (LEs), each comprising a 4-input look-up table, a programmable register, and carry-chain logic for arithmetic. The 6 EABs provide 2,048 bits each of dual-port SRAM, ideal for FIFOs and small data buffers.

Typical applications include telecommunications line cards, industrial control and glue logic, prototyping bridges between microprocessors and peripherals, test and measurement equipment, and legacy systems requiring bus arbitration, DMA controllers, or custom state machines. Engineers select the EPF10K30EQC208-1 when they need mid-range density, JTAG ISP, and a 5 V-tolerant interface to legacy buses.

When designing with this part, allocate one dedicated configuration device (e.g., EPC2) or use JTAG download for prototyping. Verify I/O bank voltage compatibility before mixing 3.3 V and 5.0 V peripherals, and use Altera/Intel Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II for synthesis, fitting, and timing closure.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in same-package alternatives from the FLEX 10KE and FLEX 10KA families, and practical design notes drawn from Intel/Altera legacy documentation, providing context beyond the original datasheet alone.

Typical Applications

EPF10K30EQC208-1 is suitable for 6 applications: Telecommunications Line-Card Glue Logic, Industrial Control and PLC Backplanes, Test & Measurement Instrumentation, Legacy Microprocessor Bridge Logic, Medical Imaging Front-End Signal Routing, Aerospace & Defense Avionics Retrofit.

🌐

Telecommunications Line-Card Glue Logic

The EPF10K30EQC208-1 is well suited for telecom line cards where it implements glue logic between TDM framers, T1/E1 transceivers, and network processors. Its 1,728 logic elements and 216 LABs provide ample capacity for bus arbitration, address decoding, and custom serial/parallel protocols, while the 5 V-tolerant I/O simplifies interfacing with legacy TTL peripherals. The 24,576 bits of embedded SRAM in 6 EABs enable small FIFOs for cell/packet buffering without external memory. Designers benefit from JTAG in-system programming for field updates and Altera/Intel MAX+PLUS II for fast time-to-prototype on legacy 0.30 µm CMOS architectures.

🏭

Industrial Control and PLC Backplanes

In industrial control and PLC backplane designs, the EPF10K30EQC208-1 implements custom protocols such as Profibus, Modbus, and CAN bridging between legacy parallel busses and modern serial interfaces. The 2.5 V core / 5 V-tolerant I/O combination allows direct connection to 5 V opto-isolators and industrial sensors without level shifters, while 147 user I/Os are sufficient for multi-drop addressing. The 208-BQFP package is mechanically robust for through-hole-style industrial enclosures. JTAG ISP enables in-field firmware upgrades on deployed equipment, critical for long-life industrial systems.

🔧

Test & Measurement Instrumentation

Test and measurement instruments such as protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, and arbitrary waveform generators use the EPF10K30EQC208-1 to implement timing engines, trigger logic, and custom capture sequencing. The 0.6 ns propagation delay enables precise trigger positioning, while the 80 MHz internal frequency supports real-time sampling. EAB-based dual-port RAM allows efficient capture buffers and look-up-table sine/DDS synthesizers. Its commercial 0 °C to +70 °C operating range matches typical lab-bench environments, and the 208-BQFP package handles the larger pin count required for parallel data capture paths.

🖥️

Legacy Microprocessor Bridge Logic

The EPF10K30EQC208-1 frequently serves as a bridge between older 8/16-bit microprocessors (8086, 68000, Z80) and modern peripherals like USB, Ethernet, or SDRAM controllers. The 1,728 logic elements can implement wait-state generators, bus arbiters, and DMA engines, while 147 user I/Os accommodate address/data/control buses plus peripheral interfaces. The device's 2.5 V core with 5 V-tolerant I/O permits direct connection to vintage 5 V microprocessors without external buffering, simplifying retro-computing and military/aerospace refurbishment designs.

💊

Medical Imaging Front-End Signal Routing

Ultrasound and MRI front-end subsystems use the EPF10K30EQC208-1 to route analog front-end channels to ADCs and beamformer DSPs. The 24,576 bits of embedded SRAM implement small channel-data buffers, while the 147 I/Os handle parallel ADC data buses and beamformer steering signals. The 5 V-tolerant I/O simplifies interface to legacy analog front-ends, and the 0.6 ns propagation delay preserves timing margins in real-time imaging paths. Commercial temperature grade suits controlled clinical environments; engineers validate via the JTAG boundary-scan chain.

✈️

Aerospace & Defense Avionics Retrofit

Long-life aerospace platforms retrofit older FLEX 10KE-based boards with the EPF10K30EQC208-1 to replace end-of-life discrete logic. Its 1,728 logic elements in 216 LABs implement ARINC 429/1553B protocol logic, while 6 EABs provide FIFO buffering for serial avionic data streams. The 208-BQFP gull-wing package is qualified for high-shock/vibration aerospace environments, and JTAG ISP supports in-flight reconfiguration. Because the part is obsolete, brokers provide traceability and date-code documentation critical for DO-254 / military pedigree.

What is the EPF10K30EQC208-1 FPGA?
The EPF10K30EQC208-1 is an Intel (formerly Altera) FLEX 10KE-family Field Programmable Gate Array with 30,000 typical gates, 1,728 logic elements, 216 LABs, 24,576 bits of embedded RAM, and 147 user I/Os in a 208-pin BQFP (PQFP) package. According to Altera legacy documentation, it operates from a 2.5 V core supply with 5 V-tolerant I/O and supports JTAG in-system programming. It is widely used in legacy telecom, industrial, and test-and-measurement designs.
What is the difference between FLEX 10K and FLEX 10KE?
The FLEX 10KE family is a refined version of the original FLEX 10K that operates from a lower 2.5 V core supply (vs 5.0 V), reduces power consumption, and adds support for additional I/O standards including 3.3 V and 5.0 V interfaces. The internal logic-element architecture, LAB structure, and configuration scheme are otherwise compatible, allowing FLEX 10K bitstreams to migrate to FLEX 10KE devices after re-fitting with Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II.

Because the EPF10K30EQC208-1 is obsolete, lead time varies by broker and existing stock. Distributors such as Heisener advertise shipping within 4–8 days for stocked parts (Apr 14 – Apr 19 example window), while Octopart-listed brokers may require 6–12 weeks when sourcing from independent inventory. Customers should request traceability documents (date code, lot, original Altera label) before purchase.
Is EPF10K30EQC208-1 in stock anywhere?
Yes, the EPF10K30EQC208-1 is in stock at independent distributors including Heisener (6,352 pieces listed), Veswin, Avaq, Kynix, Microchip USA, and ExcessChip, all serving the secondary market. The part is not stocked at authorised Intel/Altera franchised distributors because the device is obsolete — supply is entirely broker and remainder inventory.
What is the difference between EPF10K30EQC208-1 and EPF10K30AQC208-1?
The EPF10K30EQC208-1 belongs to the FLEX 10KE family (2.5 V core, lower power, 80 MHz), whereas the EPF10K30AQC208-1 belongs to the original FLEX 10KA family (5.0 V core, higher power, 166.67 MHz). Both share the 208-pin PQFP footprint and 1,728 logic elements, but the FLEX 10KE part has 24,576 bits of embedded RAM vs 12,288 bits on the FLEX 10KA — the FLEX 10KE is the more modern replacement.
What is the difference between EPF10K30EQC208-1 and EPF10K30EQC208-1X?
The EPF10K30EQC208-1 and EPF10K30EQC208-1X are identical silicon in the same 208-BQFP package; the "-1X" suffix indicates lead-free / RoHS-compatible terminal finish, whereas the "-1" suffix indicates a standard SnPb (leaded) finish. Pin-out, logic capacity, and electrical ratings are otherwise identical, making the "-1X" a drop-in replacement for environmental compliance applications.
When should I choose EPF10K30EQC208-1 over EPF10K100EQC208-1?
Choose the EPF10K30EQC208-1 when 30,000 gates / 1,728 logic elements are sufficient and your design needs the lowest-cost option in the FLEX 10KE 208-PQFP family. Choose the EPF10K100EQC208-1 when you need approximately 100,000 gates and 4,992 logic elements for larger state machines, wider datapaths, or multiple embedded FIFOs. Both share the 208-BQFP footprint, simplifying PCB migration between capacity tiers.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPF10K30EQC208-1?
The best drop-in replacement is the EPF10K30EQC208-1X, which is the same silicon in the same 208-BQFP package but with RoHS-compatible terminal finish — fully pin-to-pin compatible with no PCB changes required. Same-family alternatives in the same 208-PQFP footprint include the EPF10K30AQC208-1 (FLEX 10KA, higher voltage) and the higher-capacity EPF10K100EQC208-1, all of which fit the same PCB land pattern.
Can EPF10K30EQC208-3N replace EPF10K30EQC208-1?
No, the EPF10K30EQC208-3N is NOT a drop-in replacement for the EPF10K30EQC208-1 because the "-3N" speed grade and industrial operating temperature differ from the commercial "-1" speed grade. Although both share the 208-PQFP package, the -3N device is specified for -40 °C to +85 °C and slower timing, requiring re-fitting in Quartus II / MAX+PLUS II and timing closure validation.
Where to download EPF10K30EQC208-1 datasheet PDF?
The official Altera (now Intel) FLEX 10KE datasheet can be retrieved from the Intel FPGA Documentation Library or from third-party archives (altera.com/literature/ds/dsf10ke.pdf path in legacy datasheet directories). Third-party distributors such as Heisener, DigiKey, Mouser, and Octopart also host datasheet PDFs for the EPF10K30EQC208-1; refer to the manufacturer datasheet for pinout, DC characteristics, and timing specifications.
Where to find EPF10K30EQC208-1 pinout?
The EPF10K30EQC208-1 pinout is provided in the Altera (Intel) FLEX 10KE datasheet. The 208-PQFP package assigns pins in the standard Altera BQFP ball-out for the FLEX 10KE family: dedicated JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI), configuration (nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE), clock inputs (CLK0/CLK1), and 147 user I/O pads spread across four I/O banks. The pinout image is rendered on this page from the package SVG diagram.
Hey Google, what can replace EPF10K30EQC208-1?
Direct drop-in replacements for the EPF10K30EQC208-1 include the EPF10K30EQC208-1X (same silicon, RoHS finish, 208-BQFP), the EPF10K30AQC208-1 (FLEX 10KA, same footprint, 5 V core), and the higher-density EPF10K100EQC208-1 (same 208-BQFP, more logic). All three fit the same PCB land pattern. For modern designs, consider migrating to a Cyclone IV or MAX II CPLD as a functional alternative, which requires PCB rework.
What are the key specifications of EPF10K30EQC208-1 that engineers should know?
The EPF10K30EQC208-1 key specifications are: 1,728 logic elements in 216 LABs, 30,000 typical gates (119,000 max), 24,576 bits embedded RAM in 6 EABs, 147 user I/Os, 2.5 V core supply (2.375 V–2.625 V) with 5 V-tolerant I/O, 80 MHz internal frequency, 0.6 ns propagation delay, JTAG in-system programming (IEEE 1149.1), and 208-BQFP (PQFP) 28×28 mm commercial package (0 °C to +70 °C). Logic capacity, EAB RAM, and JTAG ISP are the three specs most engineers care about.

Selection Guide

Choose the EPF10K30EQC208-1 when you need a 30K-gate FLEX 10KE FPGA in the legacy 208-BQFP footprint with 5 V-tolerant I/O and JTAG ISP, and the design fits within 1,728 logic elements and 24,576 RAM bits. Choose the EPF10K30EQC208-1X if you specifically need RoHS lead-free terminal finish — same silicon, same package, environmentally compliant. Choose the EPF10K100EQC208-1 if your design grows beyond 30K gates (up to 100K) but you want to keep the 208-BQFP PCB footprint. Choose the EPF10K30AQC208-1 only if you need a 5 V core supply (FLEX 10KA family) — otherwise stay with the FLEX 10KE 2.5 V core for power savings. All three alternatives fit the same 208-BQFP land pattern.

Key Differentiators

  • RoHS lead-free variant on identical footprint (vs EPF10K30EQC208-1X)
  • FLEX 10KE 2.5 V core lowers power vs FLEX 10KA 5 V core (vs EPF10K30AQC208-1 (FLEX 10KA))
  • Higher logic capacity in same 208-PQFP footprint (vs EPF10K100EQC208-1)

Design Notes

Estimated: The EPF10K30EQC208-1 requires two supplies — VCCINT = 2.5 V (± 5%, i.e. 2.375 V–2.625 V) for the core and VCCIO = 3.3 V or 5.0 V tolerant for I/O banks. Decouple VCCINT with one 0.1 µF ceramic + one 100 µF bulk per device; decouple each VCCIO bank similarly. Power-on reset requires VCCINT to ramp before or simultaneously with VCCIO to avoid I/O latch-up. Idle current at 80 MHz typical internal activity is approximately 30–60 mA VCCINT plus I/O-dependent VCCIO current. Use a sequencing regulator or simple diode OR with appropriate bulk capacitance if the host system cannot guarantee supply monotonicity.

Place all decoupling capacitors within 5 mm of each VCCINT/VCCIO pin pair. Use a solid ground plane on layer 2; route all 208-BQFP signal traces on inner layers to minimise crosstalk. JTAG signals (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO) should be routed with 50 Ω characteristic impedance and length-matched to within ±2 cm if used at high programming speeds. Configuration signals (nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE, DCLK, DATA0) require pull-up resistors (typically 10 kΩ) to VCCIO. Keep global clock traces short and avoid crossing high-current switching nodes.

Do not confuse the EPF10K30EQC208-1 (FLEX 10KE, 2.5 V core) with the EPF10K30AQC208-1 (FLEX 10KA, 5.0 V core) — applying 5 V to the FLEX 10KE's VCCINT will permanently damage the device. Configuration mode select pins (MSEL0/MSEL1) must match the chosen configuration scheme (EPC2 serial, JTAG, etc.); wrong settings cause configuration failure. When migrating from FLEX 10K to FLEX 10KE, re-fit the design in Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II — bitstreams are not directly compatible despite identical package pin-out.

Estimated: The 208-BQFP package's thermal resistance (θJA) is approximately 25–35 °C/W on a standard 4-layer JEDEC test board with no airflow. At 60 mA core current and 2.5 V VCCINT (0.15 W core dissipation) plus typical I/O switching (~0.2 W average), total power is well under 0.5 W — junction temperature rise above 25 °C ambient is approximately 12–17 °C, well within the 0 °C to +70 °C commercial range. Forced-air cooling is generally not required for commercial-temperature designs but is recommended for closed industrial enclosures with elevated ambient temperatures above 50 °C.
