EP1K10TC144-1 Présentation

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP1K10TC144-1 is a member of the ACEX-1K family of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) featuring 10,000 typical gates, 576 logic elements (LEs), and 12,288 RAM bits, housed in a 144-pin LQFP (TQFP) package with 92 user I/Os. It is built on a 0.22 µm EEPROM process with a 2.5 V core supply, supporting commercial-grade operation.

An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a type of programmable logic device (PLD) that contains an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and I/O cells, all of which can be customized after manufacturing. FPGAs sit at the top of the programmable logic hierarchy, above CPLDs and SPLDs, and are widely used for glue logic, signal processing, bus interfacing, and prototyping where ASIC NRE costs cannot be justified. The ACEX-1K family is an early-2000s SRAM/EEPROM-based architecture from Altera, designed for low-cost system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration.

Key features of the EP1K10TC144-1 include 72 logic array blocks (LABs), an embedded array block (EAB) for efficient memory and specialized logic functions such as multipliers and DSP primitives, dual-port RAM support, and 12,288 bits of embedded memory. The device supports JTAG-based in-system programmability (ISP) via the IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan interface, simplifying field updates and manufacturing flows.

The EP1K10TC144-1 uses a Look-Up Table (LUT)-based fine-grained architecture with 4-input LUTs feeding flip-flops in each LE. Each LAB contains 12 LEs with associated carry and cascade chains. The EAB blocks provide 2 Kbits of dual-port RAM each, configurable as RAM, ROM, or FIFO. This combination makes the device suitable for moderate-complexity glue logic, state-machine controllers, and small FIFO/buffer applications where non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs of an ASIC would be prohibitive.

Typical applications include industrial control glue logic, telecommunications interface bridging, legacy peripheral controllers, and educational/prototyping boards. The 144-LQFP package offers ease-of-assembly for through-hole-friendly prototyping and rework, while the 92 available I/Os provide sufficient connectivity for parallel buses, sensor aggregation, and human-machine interface (HMI) tasks.

When designing with this part, note that the ACEX-1K family is now considered legacy and is in obsolescence transition; design teams should confirm long-term supply availability with Intel PSG or authorized distributors before committing to new designs. Configuration data must be loaded from a serial or parallel PROM at every power-up because the SRAM-based configuration cells are volatile.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, cross-reference variants (such as EP1K10TC144-1N, EP1K10TC144-2N, EP1K10TC144-3N), and practical design notes that complement the manufacturer datasheet.

Applications typiques

EP1K10TC144-1 convient pour 6 applications: Industrial Glue Logic and Bus Bridging, Legacy Peripheral Controller and IPC, Telecommunications Interface Bridging, Educational FPGA Prototyping and Lab Boards, Test and Measurement Front-End Logic, Automotive Infotainment Legacy Interface (Non-Safety).

🏭

Industrial Glue Logic and Bus Bridging

The EP1K10TC144-1 fits industrial glue-logic and bus-bridging tasks because its 576 logic elements and 72 LABs provide enough capacity for multi-protocol state machines, FIFO buffers, and address/data multiplexing between parallel buses (e.g., ISA-to-local bus, 8-bit MCU to 16-bit peripheral). The 92 user I/Os comfortably accommodate wide parallel interfaces such as 16-bit data + 12-bit address plus control. At 2.5 V core with 5 V-tolerant I/Os, the part bridges legacy 5 V peripherals to modern 3.3 V processors without external level shifters, while the embedded dual-port RAM (12,288 bits across 3 EABs) handles small data buffers directly without external SRAM. Commercial 0–70 °C rating suits factory-floor enclosures.

🖥️

Legacy Peripheral Controller and IPC

The EP1K10TC144-1 suits legacy peripheral controllers and industrial-PC (IPC) interface cards because the 144-LQFP package is easy to rework with through-hole-friendly TQFP footprints, ideal for field-replaceable cards in long-lifecycle IPC platforms. With 250 MHz internal capability on the -3 speed grade, the part can drive ISA, PCI-local, or VME bus interfaces with deterministic timing. The 12 Kbit embedded RAM is sufficient for command queues, status registers, and small packet buffers. Designers can implement custom DMA engines, interrupt controllers, or legacy I/O expansion (parallel port, RS-422, opto-isolated GPIO) in a single chip, eliminating multiple 74xx glue-logic devices on the board.

🌐

Telecommunications Interface Bridging

Telecommunications line cards and access multiplexers frequently use the EP1K10TC144-1 to bridge between legacy TDM (T1/E1) framers and modern packet-based backplanes. The 92 user I/Os accommodate TDM data, clock, frame-sync, and backplane sidebands simultaneously. Its embedded dual-port RAM (12,288 bits across 3 EABs) provides elastic buffers for clock-domain crossing between TDM (1.544/2.048 MHz) and packet domains, while the JTAG-based in-system programmability simplifies field firmware updates via the central office's management plane. The 250 MHz internal fMAX supports parallel TDM aggregation at DS3/E3 rates without external PLDs.

✈️

Educational FPGA Prototyping and Lab Boards

The EP1K10TC144-1 is widely deployed in university FPGA laboratories and Altera/Intel legacy development kits because the 144-LQFP package has generous pin spacing (0.5 mm pitch) that is hand-solderable for student labs, and the -1 speed grade is the most economical option. With 576 logic elements, students can implement complete RISC-V cores (such as the PicoRV32), UARTs, SPI controllers, VGA framebuffers, and modest CPU designs within the 10K-gate budget. The on-chip 12 Kbit dual-port RAM supports small register files and FIFO scratchpads, while the JTAG interface connects directly to the legacy Altera ByteBlaster or USB-Blaster download cables used in teaching environments.

🔧

Test and Measurement Front-End Logic

Test-and-measurement instruments frequently use the EP1K10TC144-1 as front-end pattern generation, trigger sequencing, and timing logic because its deterministic LE-based architecture delivers repeatable timing under all temperature conditions. The 92 user I/Os can drive parallel DACs, address multiplexers, and trigger comparators simultaneously, while the embedded dual-port RAM stores waveform patterns or capture buffers. The 3.3 V LVTTL outputs (5 V tolerant on inputs) interface directly to legacy bench-instrument buses. JTAG-based in-system programming lets manufacturers update instrument firmware in the field without opening the enclosure, which is critical for installed-base test equipment.

🚗

Automotive Infotainment Legacy Interface (Non-Safety)

Although the EP1K10TC144-1 is not AEC-Q100 qualified, it is sometimes specified in non-safety automotive infotainment head units where a robust 0–70 °C commercial-grade FPGA provides display-timing generation, button-debouncing, and CAN-to-LIN bridging for entry-level head units. Its 92 user I/Os accommodate LCD timing signals, key-scan matrices, and rotary-encoder inputs simultaneously. The 12 Kbit embedded dual-port RAM buffers display frames and audio samples, while the 2.5 V core plus 3.3 V I/O (5 V tolerant) interfaces directly to legacy automotive back-panel connectors. Designers should note that ACEX-1K is now obsolete, so new automotive designs should target Cyclone-series parts.

What family and gate count does the EP1K10TC144-1 belong to?
The EP1K10TC144-1 is a member of the Altera ACEX-1K family of FPGAs, providing 10,000 typical gates, 576 logic elements, 72 logic array blocks (LABs), and 12,288 bits of embedded memory. According to the Altera ACEX-1K datasheet, it is implemented in 0.22 µm EEPROM technology at 2.5 V core and 3.3 V I/O, packaged in a 144-LQFP housing 92 user I/Os.
What is the operating voltage and temperature range of EP1K10TC144-1?
The EP1K10TC144-1 operates from a 2.5 V core supply with 3.3 V (5 V tolerant) I/Os, and is rated for the commercial temperature range of 0 °C to +70 °C. The device is the -1 speed grade, indicating the slowest timing bin within the ACEX-1K family. For industrial or military grades, alternative speed/temperature variants exist in the same family but may be NRND.
Is the EP1K10TC144-1 still in production?
The EP1K10TC144-1 is classified as obsolete / last-time-buy per most authorized distributors. The ACEX-1K family reached end-of-life many years ago, and stock is now limited to authorized and open-market distributors. Engineering teams should verify long-term supply or plan migration to a Cyclone-series equivalent for new designs.
What is the difference between EP1K10TC144-1 and EP1K10TC144-1N?
The EP1K10TC144-1N is the lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS-compliant variant of the EP1K10TC144-1, sharing the same ACEX-1K die, 144-LQFP package, and pinout. According to the Altera ACEX-1K datasheet family guide, the 'N' suffix denotes a RoHS-compliant lead-free finish; both are drop-in compatible at the PCB level.
Where can I buy the EP1K10TC144-1 online and what is the price?
The EP1K10TC144-1 is available from authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, Octopart-listed brokers, and open-market specialists such as Heisener, Micro-Semiconductor, and Avaq. As of 2026-09-07, single-unit pricing from open-market distributors is approximately USD 18.50, with quantity breaks reaching USD 9.95 at 1,000 pieces. Lead times vary by distributor and stock level.
What is the lead time for the EP1K10TC144-1?
Lead times for the obsolete EP1K10TC144-1 vary from immediate (stock at DigiKey and Mouser in low quantities) to 8–12 weeks for larger volumes sourced from open-market or franchised distributors. Some brokers quote delivery dates of 5–10 days for small lots, but pricing is significantly higher than the original MSRP due to scarcity.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EP1K10TC144-1?
The best drop-in replacement is the EP1K10TC144-1N, which shares the identical 144-LQFP pinout and the same ACEX-1K die, differing only in lead-free terminal finish. Other drop-in options within the same family include the EP1K10TC144-2N (faster speed grade) and EP1K10TC144-3N (fastest speed grade), all in the same 144-LQFP package.
Where can I download the EP1K10TC144-1 datasheet PDF?
The official ACEX-1K family datasheet is hosted at the Altera/Intel documentation archive. The generic family PDF (Acex 1K Device Family, 2.5 V) covers the EP1K10TC144-1 and all package/speed-grade variants. Mirror copies are also available on digchip.com and FPGAkey.com for offline reference.
Where can I find the EP1K10TC144-1 pinout?
The EP1K10TC144-1 pinout is documented in the ACEX-1K family datasheet, which assigns all 144 pins of the LQFP/TQFP package including the 92 user I/Os, dedicated configuration pins (MSEL, nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE), JTAG pins (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK), power pins (VCCINT, VCCIO), and grounds. The pinout is identical across all EP1K10TC144 speed grades (-1, -2, -3) and the -1N lead-free variant.
EP1K10TC144-1 vs EP1K10TC144-2N - which should I choose?
Choose EP1K10TC144-1 if you are replacing an existing -1 design and need a like-for-like speed grade. Choose EP1K10TC144-2N if your design has timing margin concerns and you want the faster -2 speed grade with the modern lead-free finish. Both share the identical 144-LQFP pinout and are electrically and mechanically drop-in compatible at the PCB level.
Can the EP1K10TC144-1 be used as a Cyclone replacement?
No, the EP1K10TC144-1 cannot be directly substituted for a Cyclone-series FPGA such as EP1C6T144 or EP1C12Q240. Although both families use TQFP packages, the pinouts, configuration schemes, core voltages, and JTAG ID codes are different. A PCB redesign is required to migrate from ACEX-1K to Cyclone; only same-family drop-ins (such as EP1K10TC144-1N, -2N, -3N) preserve the existing footprint.
What is the configuration memory of EP1K10TC144-1?
The EP1K10TC144-1 uses SRAM-based configuration cells, which are volatile and must be reloaded on every power-up via a serial configuration PROM (such as the EPC2 or EPCS-compatible family) or through JTAG in-system programming. The configuration bitstream size is approximately 60 Kbits for the EP1K10 die, and configuration time from a serial PROM is typically under 100 ms.
What is the maximum operating frequency of EP1K10TC144-1?
According to the Altera ACEX-1K datasheet, the EP1K10 family supports internal logic operation up to 250 MHz in the -3 speed grade. The -1 speed grade in the EP1K10TC144-1 has lower fmax; consult the family datasheet timing addendum for exact fMAX figures. External I/O toggle rates are limited by the 3.3 V LVTTL/LVCMOS drivers to approximately 250 MHz.
What are the key specifications engineers should know about EP1K10TC144-1?
Engineers specifying the EP1K10TC144-1 should note: 576 logic elements, 72 LABs, 3 EABs, 12,288 bits of embedded dual-port RAM, 92 user I/Os, 2.5 V core, 3.3 V I/O with 5 V tolerance, 144-LQFP package, commercial temperature 0 °C to +70 °C, -1 speed grade, JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) configuration support, and obsolete lifecycle status requiring last-time-buy planning.
Is the EP1K10TC144-1 RoHS compliant?
The standard EP1K10TC144-1 has a tin-lead (SnPb) terminal finish. The lead-free and RoHS-compliant variant is the EP1K10TC144-1N, which uses a NiPdAu or matte-tin finish suitable for RoHS reflow profiles. For designs targeting RoHS compliance, the -1N is the correct drop-in choice.

Guide de sélection

Choose the EP1K10TC144-1 when replacing an existing ACEX-1K design with a like-for-like -1 speed grade, or when timing analysis confirms the -1 fMAX margin is sufficient and BOM cost is the primary concern. Choose the EP1K10TC144-1N if RoHS compliance is required — it is a drop-in substitute on the same 144-LQFP footprint with identical electrical behavior. Upgrade to the EP1K10TC144-2N or -3N if timing analysis shows insufficient margin on the -1 grade; both are pin-compatible. The EP1K10TC100-1N is only a drop-in on 100-TQFP layouts and is not footprint-compatible with 144-LQFP designs. For new designs, consider migrating to the Cyclone-series (e.g., EP1C6T144 or EP1C12Q240) to avoid the obsolete-lifecycle supply risk.

Notes de conception

Estimated: The EP1K10TC144-1 requires a 2.5 V ±5% core supply on VCCINT pins and a 3.3 V I/O supply on VCCIO pins. Core current scales with toggle frequency and utilized LEs; typical ICCINT is 30–80 mA for a 50% utilization design at 100 MHz, while ICCIO can reach 100–200 mA with all 92 I/Os switching. Decouple each VCCINT pin with a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic plus a bulk 10 µF tantalum, and decouple each VCCIO pin with 0.1 µF plus 4.7 µF bulk to keep ground bounce below 200 mVpp during simultaneous switching.

Place all configuration components (EPC2 serial PROM, JTAG header, MSEL pull-up/pull-down resistors) within 50 mm of the EP1K10TC144-1 to keep the configuration clock DCLK trace short and matched. Route the four JTAG signals (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) as a bus with 50 Ω characteristic impedance and a 10 kΩ pull-up on TCK and TMS. Provide a 100 nF + 10 µF decoupling pair at each VCCIO bank region, with vias within 2 mm of each power pin. Avoid routing high-speed clock signals adjacent to the JTAG bus.

Do not assume the EP1K10TC144-1 is RoHS-compliant — the standard part uses a SnPb terminal finish; choose the EP1K10TC144-1N for RoHS designs. Configuration memory is volatile: the device MUST have a serial configuration PROM (EPC2 family) or JTAG loader at every power-up, or it will fail to wake up with random garbage in its LEs. Do not exceed the 2.5 V VCCINT absolute maximum (3.0 V) or the device will suffer permanent core-damage. MSEL pins must be hardwired correctly for the chosen mode — incorrect MSEL settings result in configuration errors that mimic bad firmware.
