EPF10K20RC208-3 Présentation

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPF10K20RC208-3 is a member of the FLEX 10K family of SRAM-based Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), delivering 20,000 typical gates and 1,152 logic elements in a 208-pin RQFP (Power Quad Flat Pack) package with exposed thermal pad. Speed grade -3 indicates the device is specified for a propagation delay tier suitable for up to 125 MHz internal operation, fabricated on a 5V, 0.42 µm CMOS process with 4-input look-up tables (LUTs) and embedded array blocks (EABs) for on-chip memory. The device provides 147 user I/O pins and 12,288 bits of embedded SRAM for distributed buffering.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor integrated circuit whose logic function is defined after manufacture by the end user. FPGAs sit hierarchically within programmable logic devices (PLDs), alongside CPLDs, and are distinguished from CPLDs by their higher logic density, finer LUT granularity, and embedded block memory. The FLEX 10K family was Altera's first device family to integrate embedded array blocks (EABs) of SRAM memory alongside the logic array, creating a system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) platform.

Key features of the EPF10K20RC208-3 include 144 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) each containing 8 Logic Elements, configurable I/O standards supporting 5V TTL/CMOS interfaces, an in-system programmability (ISP) interface via the serial configuration EPROM, and built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (IEEE 1149.1 BST) support. The device also provides dedicated clock-lock circuits for clock management and a programmable interconnect architecture based on FastTrack continuous routing.

Typical applications for this device include legacy telecom line cards, industrial control glue logic, peripheral bus interfaces (PCI, ISA), and ASIC prototyping. Designers select the FLEX 10K family when migrating from discrete TTL/MSI logic to a single programmable device, or when prototyping an ASIC design before tape-out.

When designing with this part, ensure 5.0V VCC operation and consider configuration memory selection (EPC1, EPC2 or EPC16 serial configuration devices). Power sequencing between VCCINT and VCCIO must be observed to prevent I/O latch-up during power-up.

The best Intel/Altera equivalents for the EPF10K20RC208-3 are: (1) EPF10K20RC208-3N, the lead-free variant of the same silicon; (2) EPF10K20RC208-4, a slower speed grade variant for cost-sensitive designs; (3) EPF10K30RC208-4, a pin-compatible higher-density upgrade. All three share the 208-RQFP footprint and 147 I/O pinout. For modern replacements, consider Cyclone IV or MAX 10 devices, but these require PCB redesign as they use different packages and supply voltages.
What is the lead time for the EPF10K20RC208-3 in 2026?
The lead time for the EPF10K20RC208-3 in 2026 is typically 8-12 weeks for orders exceeding distributor stock levels, per Intel/Altera franchised distribution channels. Spot stock is currently available at DigiKey with approximately 6,224 pieces in inventory (as of 2026-09-11), enabling immediate shipment for orders under 1,000 pieces.

Notes de conception

The EPF10K20RC208-3 requires a stable 5.0V VCCINT supply and 5.0V VCCIO supply. Decoupling: place one 0.1µF ceramic capacitor per VCCINT pin and one per VCCIO pin, plus a single 100µF bulk capacitor near the FPGA power pins. Estimated Icc (typical) at 125 MHz with all I/O toggling is approximately 300-400 mA; at idle configuration the device draws 50-80 mA. Use a low-ESR linear regulator or DC-DC converter with output tolerance within ±5% to prevent configuration failure during power-up.

The 208-RQFP package has a 0.5 mm pitch and 30.6 mm × 30.6 mm body size with an exposed thermal pad on the bottom. The exposed pad must be soldered to a ground plane on the top PCB layer using a 4×4 or 5×5 thermal via array for heat dissipation. Estimated: at 125 MHz with 50% I/O toggle rate, the device dissipates approximately 1.5-2.0 W and the exposed pad reduces theta-JA by ~30%. For JTAG, route TDI/TDO/TMS/TCK as a matched-length bus with 33Ω series damping resistors.

Configuration failure modes: (1) VCCINT must reach 4.75V before the CONFIG_DONE pin releases; ensure the 5V regulator has soft-start to avoid inrush latch-up. (2) The MSEL pins select configuration mode (EPC1, EPC2, EPC16, or passive serial); verify strap resistors match the chosen configuration EPROM. (3) During in-system programming via JTAG, the nCONFIG pin must be held high; if nCONFIG glitches low during programming the device resets. (4) The CONF_DONE and nSTATUS pins require external 10kΩ pull-up resistors to VCCIO for reliable operation.

Estimated power dissipation at maximum operating conditions (125 MHz, all 147 I/O at 50% toggle rate, 5V supply) is approximately 2.0 W. The 208-RQFP package has a typical theta-JA of 28°C/W with the exposed pad soldered to a 4×4 thermal via array on a 4-layer PCB. Without the exposed pad soldered, theta-JA rises to ~45°C/W, causing junction temperature to approach 115°C in 70°C ambient. Always solder the exposed pad and provide adequate PCB copper area for thermal management.
