EPF10K30EQC208-3 Overview

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPF10K30EQC208-3 is a FLEX 10KE family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC integrating approximately 30,000 gates, 1,728 logic elements (cells), and 24,576 bits of embedded memory in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP/BFQFP) package. Speed grade -3 and an internal frequency up to 200 MHz support commercial-temperature digital logic designs where the FLEX 10KE embedded array block (EAB) provides on-chip SRAM for System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor integrated circuit composed of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnects, and I/O cells that designers can re-program in the field to implement arbitrary digital logic. FPGAs sit above microcontrollers, ASICs, and CPLDs in the programmable-logic taxonomy, offering higher density and faster parallel processing for glue logic, state machines, bus interfaces, and DSP datapaths. The FLEX 10KE family specifically added embedded array blocks (EABs) for true dual-port RAM and ROM on-chip, enabling SOPC integration without external memory.

Key features of the EPF10K30EQC208-3 include 246 user I/Os (the highest I/O density in the FLEX 10KE family), 12 embedded array blocks for distributed and block RAM, 5 V tolerant I/O with MultiVolt support, and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan testing. The device supports in-system programmability (ISP) via the serial passive configuration scheme and consumes approximately 2.5 V core from an external regulator.

The architecture combines a fine-grained logic fabric (logic elements with 4-input look-up tables and a programmable register) with coarse-grained embedded array blocks (EABs), each implementing 2,048 bits of RAM. The -3 speed grade corresponds to roughly 0.6 ns propagation delay and enables 200 MHz internal operation, making it suitable for PCI bus interfaces, telecommunications glue logic, and instrumentation controllers.

Typical applications include PCI bus interface controllers, telecommunications line-card glue logic, industrial control and instrumentation, custom DSP pre/post-processing stages, and legacy SOPC prototypes. The 208-PQFP is a through-hole-friendly surface-mount package well suited to prototyping and industrial designs that prefer gull-wing leads over fine-pitch BGAs.

When designing with this part, plan for an external 2.5 V core regulator and 5 V or 3.3 V I/O bank supplies via MultiVolt. Use the Quartus design tool (legacy: MAX+PLUS II) for synthesis, fitting, and timing analysis, and budget configuration EPROM/flash if in-system configuration is required.
