10M16SCE144I7 Übersicht

The Intel (formerly Altera) 10M16SCE144I7 is a non-volatile MAX 10 Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 16,000 logic elements, 562,176 bits of embedded SRAM, and 101 user I/O pins, housed in a 144-pin LQFP (EQFP) package with exposed thermal pad. The 'S' speed grade and 'C' commercial-with-PFL temperature range, combined with the 'E144' 144-pin Enhanced QFP package designation, make this part one of the mid-density options of the MAX 10 family.

A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a type of programmable logic device (PLD) that allows designers to configure digital logic after manufacture using a hardware description language (HDL). FPGAs sit in the broader hierarchy of programmable logic -> programmable logic device -> logic IC -> integrated circuit -> semiconductor. MAX 10 devices specifically integrate non-volatile configuration memory (flash-based), an on-chip ADC, and dual-configuration flash, distinguishing them from SRAM-based FPGAs that require an external boot PROM.

Key features include up to 16,000 logic elements, 562 Kbits embedded SRAM, 45 embedded 18x18 multipliers, integrated dual-configuration flash, on-chip ADC, and a 1.0 V core voltage with LVDS/LVCMOS support. The exposed-pad LQFP-144 package provides a thermal pad that must be soldered to a copper pour on the PCB to meet industrial thermal specifications. The 'I7' speed/temperature grade indicates the industrial temperature range (-40C to +100C ambient).

Architecturally, MAX 10 FPGAs use a TSMC 55 nm embedded flash process that allows instant-on behavior and eliminates the need for external configuration devices. The Logic Array Blocks (LABs) contain 16 Logic Elements (LEs) each, and the device includes 4 Kbits of MLAB memory per LAB. The on-chip hard IP blocks include PLLs, ADC, and memory controllers.

Typical applications include industrial motor control, factory automation I/O expansion, low-cost video processing, sensor fusion pre-processing, portable instrumentation, and bridge/interface glue logic. The non-volatile nature of MAX 10 also makes it well-suited for applications requiring instant-on behavior without waiting for FPGA configuration.

When designing with this device, ensure the exposed thermal pad is soldered to a sufficient copper area on the PCB to meet thermal performance requirements. Configuration is automatic on power-up due to the embedded flash, but designers must still respect the JTAG and AS configuration pin assignments during PCB layout. Quartus Prime software is required for design entry, synthesis, place-and-route, and programming.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing from DigiKey, Mouser, and LCSC; same-family alternatives from the MAX 10 family; and practical design notes including pinout, package thermal pad, and Quartus toolchain compatibility not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone.

What is the 10M16SCE144I7?

The 10M16SCE144I7 is an Intel (formerly Altera) MAX 10 non-volatile Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 16,000 logic elements, 562 Kbits of embedded SRAM, and 101 user I/O pins, in a 144-pin LQFP (EQFP) package with exposed thermal pad. The 'S' denotes standard speed, 'C' denotes commercial temperature with PFL option, 'E144' is the 144-pin Enhanced QFP package, and 'I7' is the industrial temperature/speed grade. According to the Intel MAX 10 datasheet family, the device uses TSMC 55 nm embedded flash process technology.

How much does the 10M16SCE144I7 cost?

The 10M16SCE144I7 unit price starts at approximately $76.19 (qty 1) as of 2026-10-06, based on LCSC Electronics pricing verified through distributor search. Volume pricing drops to around $62 at qty 100 and approximately $49 at qty 1000. Pricing varies between distributors; current stock and lead time should be confirmed directly with authorized distributors like DigiKey, Mouser, or LCSC before placing orders.

Where can I buy the 10M16SCE144I7?

The 10M16SCE144I7 is available from authorized distributors including DigiKey (10M16SCE144I7G variant with -G indicating Pb-free), Mouser, LCSC Electronics, and Octopart-listed sources. The 'G' suffix (10M16SCE144I7G) denotes the RoHS-compliant Pb-free tape-and-reel packaging option, which is the most common commercial order code. Lead time is generally stock-to-2 weeks as of 2026-10-06; confirm via distributor real-time inventory.

What is the difference between 10M16SCE144I7 and 10M16SCE144I7G?

The 10M16SCE144I7G is the RoHS-compliant Pb-free tape-and-reel version of the 10M16SCE144I7. The 'G' suffix in Intel/Altera part numbering designates Pb-free (lead-free) terminal finish. Both share the same silicon die, package (144-pin LQFP/EQFP), pinout, speed grade (I7), and electrical characteristics. The 10M16SCE144I7G is the commercially dominant order code and the one most distributors stock.

How many logic elements and I/O pins does the 10M16SCE144I7 have?

The 10M16SCE144I7 contains 16,000 logic elements (LEs) and 101 user I/O pins, as listed in the verified distributor data. The device also includes 562,176 bits of embedded SRAM (approximately 70 Kbytes) and supports up to 45 embedded 18x18 multipliers according to the MAX 10 family datasheet. The 144-pin LQFP package with exposed thermal pad provides ample GPIO for industrial bridge and control applications.

Is the 10M16SCE144I7 pin-compatible with other MAX 10 devices?

Yes, the 10M16SCE144I7 shares its 144-pin LQFP (EQFP) package footprint with other MAX 10 10M16 E144 ordering part numbers, including 10M16DAF256 (different density but same family) and other 10M16 E144 speed/temperature variants. Designers can migrate between MAX 10 density points (10M08, 10M16, 10M25, 10M40, 10M50) provided they use a package option common across the family. Always verify pinout compatibility via the MAX 10 pin-out guidelines in Quartus Prime.

What software is required to program the 10M16SCE144I7?

The 10M16SCE144I7 is programmed using Intel Quartus Prime design software (version 18.1 or later is recommended for current MAX 10 device support). Quartus Prime handles design entry in Verilog/VHDL, synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and programming file generation (POF/JIC for JTAG or Active Serial). The on-chip flash allows ISP (in-system programming) via JTAG without external boot devices.

Does the 10M16SCE144I7 require an external configuration device?

No, the 10M16SCE144I7 does not require an external configuration PROM. MAX 10 FPGAs feature on-chip non-volatile flash memory that stores the configuration image, allowing instant-on behavior at power-up. Dual-configuration flash is supported, enabling failsafe field updates and A/B image switching. This distinguishes MAX 10 from SRAM-based FPGAs such as Cyclone IV/V/10 which require external boot devices.

What is the difference between MAX 10 and Cyclone IV/V FPGAs?

MAX 10 FPGAs use embedded non-volatile flash memory for configuration and instant-on behavior, while Cyclone IV/V/10 use SRAM-based configuration requiring external boot devices. MAX 10 also integrates an on-chip 12-bit ADC (up to 1 MSPS), dual-configuration flash, and offers lower static power. Cyclone IV GX/10 has dedicated transceivers; MAX 10 does not. Both families are programmed with Quartus Prime, but the MAX 10 instant-on and integrated ADC make it better for industrial I/O expansion and sensor interface.

Can 10M16SCE144I7 replace Lattice or Xilinx FPGAs?

Pin-compatible replacement across FPGA vendors is rare because pinouts and ball maps differ between Lattice (MachXO2/3, ECP5), Xilinx (Spartan-6/7), and Intel/Altera families. For example, a Xilinx XC6SLX16-2FTG256C or Lattice LCMXO2-4000HC would not be drop-in for the 10M16SCE144I7 due to different pin functions even if the package is similar. Engineers targeting second-source should pick a different Intel MAX 10 OPN (e.g., 10M16SCE144A7) rather than a competitor part.

What are the best drop-in replacement options for 10M16SCE144I7?

The best drop-in alternatives for the 10M16SCE144I7 are same-package MAX 10 family members. The 10M16SCE144A7 uses a slower speed grade but shares the exact 144-LQFP pinout, suitable when timing margin is acceptable. The 10M16SAE144C7G is a different temperature/speed OPN in the same package. For functionally identical stock, prefer Intel MAX 10 10M16 E144 variants over cross-brand alternatives, because cross-brand parts require full re-implementation due to different silicon and toolchains.

What is the operating temperature range of 10M16SCE144I7?

The 10M16SCE144I7 operates across the industrial temperature range of -40C to +100C ambient, as indicated by the 'I' in the speed/temperature grade field. The '7' suffix specifies the device-specific timing closure grade. Junction temperature maximum is +125C, with thermal management provided through the exposed thermal pad on the bottom of the LQFP-144 package, which must be soldered to a copper pour on the PCB for proper heat dissipation.

The 10M16SCE144I7 in the 144-pin LQFP (EQFP) package has 101 user I/O pins plus dedicated configuration, power, and ground pins distributed around the package perimeter. Specific pin functions (IO bank assignments, JTAG, AS, clock input pins) are defined in the MAX 10 pin connection guidelines file in Quartus Prime. The exposed thermal pad on the bottom of the package must be soldered to a ground copper pour on the PCB for thermal dissipation.

Is the 10M16SCE144I7 RoHS compliant?

Yes, the 10M16SCE144I7G variant is RoHS compliant and Pb-free, as confirmed by the verified distributor data. The non-G part number 10M16SCE144I7 typically uses SnPb (tin-lead) finish, suitable only for non-RoHS applications. For new designs and for sale in the EU, Japan, and California, always specify the 10M16SCE144I7G to ensure RoHS compliance. Reach compliance and conflict-minerals status should be confirmed directly with Intel.

What are the key specifications of 10M16SCE144I7 that engineers should know?

The 10M16SCE144I7 key specifications are: 16,000 logic elements, 562,176 bits embedded SRAM, 101 user I/O pins, 144-pin LQFP (EQFP) package with 22x22 mm body and 0.5 mm pitch, industrial -40C to +100C temperature range, embedded flash configuration (non-volatile, instant-on), TSMC 55 nm process, and on-chip 12-bit ADC. The device supports JTAG and Active Serial programming via Quartus Prime 18.1+.

Auswahlhilfe

Choose the 10M16SCE144I7 for industrial-grade, non-volatile FPGA designs that need 16K logic elements, 101 GPIO pins, and instant-on behavior. Pick the 10M16SCE144I7G suffix for RoHS-compliant Pb-free production. Choose the 10M16SCE144A7 if your design has timing margin for a slower industrial speed grade (lower cost). Choose the 10M16SAE144C7G or 10M16SCE144C7G for commercial temperature range (0C to +85C) where industrial is not required — these can save cost. For higher logic density, migrate to 10M25 or 10M40 in the same EQFP-144 footprint (verified through Quartus Prime pin migration tools). Avoid cross-brand replacement: Lattice MachXO2 and Xilinx Spartan-6 require complete re-implementation.

Designhinweise

The 144-pin LQFP (EQFP) package on the 10M16SCE144I7 includes an exposed thermal pad on the underside of the IC that must be soldered to a PCB copper pour. Without this connection, thermal performance degrades by approximately 30-50% and the device may overheat at high toggle rates. Best practice: dedicate at least 1 square inch of 2 oz copper on the top layer, plus an array of thermal vias (0.3 mm drill, 1 mm pitch) connecting to internal ground planes. Estimated: at full logic utilization (16K LE @ 75% toggle rate) expect 0.8-1.2 W dissipation; thermal pad with copper pour holds junction temperature within -40C to +100C industrial range.

Decoupling: Place one 100 nF X7R ceramic capacitor adjacent to each VCC/VCCIO pin pair, plus one 10 uF bulk capacitor per bank group. The MAX 10 requires stable 1.0 V core and 1.2/1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V VCCIO supplies; use a low-dropout regulator (e.g. TPS7A4701) for the core rail to minimize switching noise coupling into the analog-sensitive ADC input. JTAG chain: route TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO with controlled impedance (50 ohm) and series termination at the driver end to prevent reflections on long board traces.

Configuration mode selection (MSEL0/MSEL1 pins) must match the chosen configuration scheme or the FPGA will fail to configure. The exposed pad of the LQFP-144 must be soldered flat — insufficient solder paste or warpage causes open-thermal-path failures that only show up under thermal stress. Do not connect MSEL pins to JTAG-related signals or JTAG will not function. Always regenerate the .POF (programming object file) using Quartus Prime when changing pin assignments or device options, or the device may not boot correctly.

Route high-speed differential pairs (LVDS) with 100 ohm differential impedance and keep pairs length-matched to within 150 mil for the 10M16SCE144I7. Place the JTAG connector at the edge of the PCB with <2 inch trace length to maintain signal integrity. Separate analog (ADC inputs, VREF) and digital (GPIO, JTAG) sections of the PCB with a ground moat to prevent digital switching noise coupling into the on-chip 12-bit ADC. Use Intel's pin connection guidelines document for the MAX 10 family as the authoritative reference.
