EPF10K30AQC240-2N Descripción general
An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a type of programmable logic device (PLD) that combines the density of gate arrays with user programmability. FPGAs sit at the top of the programmable logic hierarchy — above SPLDs and CPLDs — and are used to implement arbitrary digital logic, glue logic, bus interfaces, and signal processing pipelines. The FLEX-10KA family specifically introduced an embedded array block (EAB) that holds dedicated SRAM blocks for memory functions, allowing the device to act as a System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) building block.
Key features of the EPF10K30AQC240-2N include 216 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), a built-in low-skew clock distribution tree, FastTrack® Interconnect continuous routing structure for predictable interconnect delays, tri-state emulation for board-level testing, and 100 % functional factory testing. The device supports both 3.3 V and 5.0 V I/O operation through selectable I/O standards, simplifying mixed-voltage system integration with legacy logic families.
The device architecture combines logic elements grouped into LABs, EAB-based memory, and a hierarchical interconnect network. The embedded array blocks are configurable as wide SRAM blocks, while the logic array blocks contain 8 logic elements each. This hybrid architecture makes the EPF10K30AQC240-2N well-suited to designs that need both random logic and small-to-medium memory functions on a single chip.
Typical applications include telecom line cards, industrial control, glue logic for microprocessor systems, custom peripheral controllers, prototype ASIC development, and legacy system maintenance where the original FLEX-10KA design must be reproduced. When designing with this FPGA, engineers should plan for the older 0.3 µm CMOS process — it draws higher quiescent current than modern 65 nm / 28 nm FPGAs, and the 240-pin PQFP is a through-hole-friendly surface-mount package requiring careful thermal management at higher toggle rates.

Aplicaciones típicas
EPF10K30AQC240-2N es adecuado para 7 aplicacións: Telecom Line Card Glue Logic, Legacy Industrial Control, Prototype ASIC Development, Custom Peripheral Controllers, Test and Measurement Equipment, Mil/Aero Legacy Avionics, Educational and Training Platforms.
Telecom Line Card Glue Logic
The EPF10K30AQC240-2N fits telecom line-card glue-logic roles where 30K gates and 189 I/Os can absorb bus arbitration, TDM framing, and protocol adaptation between network processors and PHYs. Its 12,288 bits of EAB memory is sufficient for small FIFOs and lookup tables needed in packet buffering, while the 142.86 MHz internal Fmax handles 77 MHz TDM buses cleanly. The 240-pin PQFP footprint was a legacy telecom-board standard, simplifying board retrofits into existing chassis.
Recomendado
Legacy Industrial Control
In legacy industrial controllers and PLCs, the EPF10K30AQC240-2N provides deterministic custom logic for sensor interfacing, motor-step sequencing, and fieldbus protocol stacks such as Profibus and Modbus. The 189 I/Os accommodate a large number of opto-isolated discrete signals, while the 3.3 V core with 5 V tolerant I/Os simplifies integration with 5 V industrial logic. Maintainers of older factory automation lines keep this FPGA in service to avoid costly board redesigns.
Recomendado
Prototype ASIC Development
Before tape-out, ASIC design teams use the EPF10K30AQC240-2N as a 30K-gate prototyping vehicle. Its 1,728 logic cells map well to gate-level simulations of moderate-complexity ASICs, and the embedded array blocks emulate SRAM macros. The 240-pin PQFP package provides ample prototype-board I/O for in-system validation, and the FLEX-10KA device library in legacy Quartus II supports standard VHDL and Verilog flows used in ASIC design.
Recomendado
Custom Peripheral Controllers
The EPF10K30AQC240-2N serves as a custom peripheral controller for industrial and test equipment, implementing register interfaces, DMA engines, and protocol translators that do not warrant a full ASIC. Its 189 I/Os and 216 LABs handle multi-channel DMA descriptors and parallel data buses easily, while the 12,288-bit EAB provides dedicated FIFO and command-queue memory. The 240-pin PQFP keeps the device accessible on standard SMT assembly lines.
Recomendado
Test and Measurement Equipment
In test and measurement instruments, the EPF10K30AQC240-2N implements custom timing generators, parallel-to-serial converters, and trigger logic for ATE and bench-top instrumentation. Its 12,288-bit EAB provides waveform memory, and the 142.86 MHz internal Fmax supports timing generators for signals up to ~70 MHz. The commercial 0-70 °C temperature grade suits laboratory environments, and the 240-pin PQFP is easy to rework in prototype test gear.
Recomendado
Mil/Aero Legacy Avionics
The EPF10K30AQC240-2N is occasionally encountered in older military and aerospace platforms where a 30K-gate, 240-pin PQFP FPGA meets reliability and form-factor requirements established decades ago. The commercial temperature grade is acceptable for inside-the-box avionics with controlled thermal environments, and the established design tooling (Quartus II) supports DO-254 documentation workflows. Lifecycle maintenance of these platforms continues to drive broker demand for the part.
Recomendado
Educational and Training Platforms
Universities and FPGA training labs continue to use EPF10K30AQC240-2N-equipped development boards because the FLEX-10KA architecture is well documented in legacy textbooks. The 30K-gate capacity exercises meaningful VHDL / Verilog designs, the 240-pin PQFP is straightforward to probe, and student designs can be downloaded via JTAG with the original ByteBlaster cable. Quartus II Web Edition remains freely available for educational use, preserving this FPGA's pedagogical value.

Notas de diseño
Estimated: at the rated 3.3 V supply with all 189 I/Os switching at moderate frequency, the EPF10K30AQC240-2N draws 200-400 mA quiescent plus dynamic current. Designers must budget a 3.3 V regulator with at least 1 A headroom and provide adequate bulk decoupling (47 µF tantalum or ceramic) close to the VCC pins. Unlike modern FPGAs, the FLEX-10KA family does not include power-management features such as internal POR or sequencing — these must be implemented externally.
Estimated: at full I/O toggle in still air, the 240-pin PQFP (theta-JA ~35 °C/W typical for that package size) dissipates 0.7-1.4 W into the board. Commercial-grade parts must keep junction temperature below 125 °C; in enclosed industrial chassis with no airflow, derate by 15-20 °C or add a small clip-on heatsink on the PQFP top.
Route the JTAG chain (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) carefully: keep traces under 100 mm, add a 10 kΩ pull-up on TCK and TMS to VCCIO, and place a 100 Ω series-termination resistor near the device TCK pin. The 240-pin PQFP fine pitch requires 0.5 mm leads and vias-in-pad can be avoided; standard fan-out on a 4-layer FR-4 board with continuous ground and power planes is recommended.
Do not confuse EPF10K30AQC240-2N with the EPF10K30AQC208 package (different pin count, cannot fit the same footprint). Verify before ordering that the package code includes 240 pins. Also note that the -1, -2, and -3 speed-grade parts are the same silicon — buying -3 for cost savings is fine for low-speed designs but limits Fmax; -1 is unnecessary if -2 timing closes.
Información de cumplimiento
The -N suffix denotes lead-free terminal finish per JEDEC J-STD-609. RoHS compliance is implied for the -N variant; explicit REACH, halogen-free, and conflict-minerals declarations were not found in the verified web data and are listed as unknown. AEC-Q100 is not applicable (FPGA is not automotive-qualified).
