EPF10K30ETC144-3N Présentation

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPF10K30ETC144-3N is a member of the FLEX 10KE family of SRAM-based Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) delivering 30,000 typical gates, 1,728 logic cells (logic elements), and 102 user I/Os in a 144-pin TQFP package. The device is fabricated on a 0.22 µm CMOS process, operates from a 2.5 V core supply, and is rated for commercial temperature (0 °C to 70 °C). The “-3N” speed grade designates the part within the standard commercial-temperature portfolio.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a programmable logic device containing an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs/LABs), programmable routing, and input/output blocks, all controlled by an on-chip SRAM configuration memory. FPGAs sit at the top of the programmable logic hierarchy (FPGA > CPLD > SPLD > PAL/GAL) and are used to implement arbitrary glue logic, state machines, datapath functions, and full processor subsystems. The FLEX 10KE family introduced embedded array blocks (EABs) that combine look-up-table logic with on-chip memory, making them well suited for System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) designs.

Key features of the EPF10K30ETC144-3N include 216 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), 24576 bits of embedded memory, dedicated carry/chain arithmetic support, multi-voltage I/O support, JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan programming, and built-in SRAM-based in-system programmability that allows unlimited reconfiguration. The 144-pin TQFP (1.0 mm pitch, 22 × 22 mm body) supports up to 102 user I/Os and uses gull-wing leads for surface mounting.

Typical applications include telecommunications line-card glue logic, industrial control interfaces, test and measurement front-ends, embedded control and DSP co-processing, image and video processing pipelines, and legacy M&A-compatible digital system designs. The 30K-gate density makes the part a useful mid-range building block for designs that need more capacity than a CPLD but do not justify the cost of modern high-end FPGAs.

When designing with this device, note that FLEX 10KE devices are older SRAM-based parts that require a configuration device (EPC2, EPC4, or compatible) at every power-up; they do not retain configuration in non-volatile memory. The 2.5 V VCCINT must be ramped cleanly and the nCONFIG/nSTATUS handshake must be respected for reliable configuration.

Applications typiques

EPF10K30ETC144-3N convient pour 6 applications: Telecommunications Line-Card Glue Logic, Industrial Control and PLC Interface Bridging, Test and Measurement Front-End, Legacy DSP Co-Processing, Image Processing Pipeline, Embedded Control and Custom Peripherals.

🌐

Telecommunications Line-Card Glue Logic

The EPF10K30ETC144-3N's 1,728 logic elements and 102 user I/Os make it an ideal fit for telecom line‑card glue logic that interfaces a backplane serializer/deserializer to TDM buses and framer ASICs. With 24,576 bits of embedded memory and 0.6 ns propagation delay, the device can implement custom HDLC controllers, alarm insertion/extraction, and clock-domain crossing on the same silicon, replacing several discrete 74-series logic chips. Its 2.5 V core and 3.3 V/5 V tolerant I/Os support the multi-voltage rails typical of telecom backplane designs, and the 144-TQFP footprint exposes enough I/Os to fan out to multiple buses without multiplexing. The part is dropped onto a line card alongside an EPC2 configuration PROM and a JTAG header for factory programming.

🏭

Industrial Control and PLC Interface Bridging

The EPF10K30ETC144-3N fits industrial control designs that need to bridge legacy parallel buses (PC/104, ISA, VME) to modern processors over USB or Ethernet. Its 1,728 logic cells can host a soft 8051 or 68000 core, custom protocol handlers, and DMA controllers without off-chip memory, while the 24,576 bits of embedded memory buffer packets between buses. The commercial 0–70 °C temperature grade covers most factory-floor enclosures, and the TQFP-144 package is hand-solderable for prototype repair on industrial control modules. The -3 speed grade gives the timing margin needed for legacy 8/16-bit bus cycles at up to 50 MHz.

🔧

Test and Measurement Front-End

The EPF10K30ETC144-3N is well-suited for test and measurement front-ends where pattern generators, capture buffers, and custom trigger logic must be implemented in parallel with a control processor. Its 0.6 ns propagation delay allows the part to keep up with 100 MHz sample clocks on parallel ADCs/DACs, while the 24,576 bits of embedded memory serve as capture RAM for short bursts of high-speed data. The 144-TQFP footprint exposes 102 user I/Os for LVCMOS-3.3/LVTTL signalling to A/D converters and DACs, and JTAG-based reconfiguration lets the test engineer swap personalities for different units under test. Pair the FPGA with an EPC2 configuration device and a level-translator bank for mixed-voltage instruments.

🖥️

Legacy DSP Co-Processing

The EPF10K30ETC144-3N can act as a co-processor alongside legacy fixed-point DSPs (TMS320C30, ADSP-21060) for glue, formatting, and pre/post-processing functions such as FFT twiddle generation, bit-reversal, and FIR filter coefficient loading. Its 216 LABs and 24 Kbit embedded memory are large enough to implement multi-channel decimation filters, while its 102 I/Os comfortably handle parallel DSP host ports. Designers should note that the part is not suited for high-throughput DSP math on its own—use it as an I/O and glue companion to the DSP rather than as the primary computational engine. JTAG-based in-system programming accelerates field firmware updates.

🎥

Image Processing Pipeline

The EPF10K30ETC144-3N handles small-format image processing pipelines where a CMOS sensor output must be conditioned before being forwarded to a host processor. Typical pipeline blocks—bayer demosaicing, gamma correction, scaling, overlay blending—fit within 1,728 logic cells at resolutions up to VGA, and the 24,576-bit embedded memory serves as line buffers. The 102 user I/Os expose enough pins to talk to the camera (DVP/parallel), an external SDRAM, and a host bus simultaneously, while the 2.5 V core and 3.3 V I/O support standard CMOS sensor voltage levels. JTAG programming lets prototypes re‑target different sensor formats in the lab.

🧩

Embedded Control and Custom Peripherals

The EPF10K30ETC144-3N is well-suited for embedded microcontroller platforms where custom peripherals (PWM generators, quadrature counters, custom I²C/SPI slaves) must be added without redesigning the base MCU. The 1,728 logic cells can host multiple soft peripherals in parallel, and the 102 I/Os provide flexible pin-out to off-board drivers. The 24,576-bit embedded memory can be split into FIFOs and scratch-pad buffers for each peripheral, and the JTAG chain allows board-level integration tests to drive each soft peripheral individually. Pair the FPGA with an external EPC2 configuration PROM for standalone (MCU-less) embedded modules.

What is the EPF10K30ETC144-3N and what family does it belong to?
The EPF10K30ETC144-3N is a member of Intel's (formerly Altera's) FLEX 10KE family of SRAM-based Field-Programmable Gate Arrays, delivering 30,000 typical gates with 1,728 logic elements and 102 user I/Os in a 144-pin TQFP package. According to the FLEX 10KE datasheet (documented at Intel's Altera literature archive), the part operates from a 2.5 V core supply at commercial temperature grade, fabricated on a 0.22 µm CMOS process. The “-3” suffix indicates the speed grade and the trailing “N” denotes lead-free / Pb-free packaging.
What is the logic capacity and memory of the EPF10K30ETC144-3N?
The EPF10K30ETC144-3N contains 1,728 logic elements organized into 216 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), supported by 24,576 bits of on-chip embedded memory implemented through Embedded Array Blocks (EABs). Per the FLEX 10KE datasheet family, the device delivers approximately 30,000 typical gates when fully utilized, which sits in the mid-range density of legacy FPGAs suitable for glue logic, interface bridging, and small datapath designs.
What is the package of the EPF10K30ETC144-3N and how many user I/Os are exposed?
The EPF10K30ETC144-3N is housed in a 144-pin TQFP (LFQFP) measuring 22 × 22 mm with a 0.5 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads, suitable for surface-mount assembly. The device exposes 102 user I/Os in this package per the DigiKey and Jotrin listings; the remaining pins are allocated to power, ground, JTAG, and dedicated configuration pins such as nCONFIG, nSTATUS, and DCLK.
Where can I buy the EPF10K30ETC144-3N and what is the approximate unit price?
The EPF10K30ETC144-3N is available from authorized franchised distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and Octopart-listed inventory as of 2026-09-11; pricing for qty-1 is approximately USD 42.50, with quantity breaks down to USD 26.75 at 1,000 pieces. Because the part is approaching end-of-life, lead time can fluctuate and stocks should be confirmed before placing volume orders. Quote-based and obsolete-market inventory is also available through Avnet, Rochester Electronics, and independent brokers.
What is the lead time and lifecycle status of EPF10K30ETC144-3N?
As of 2026-09-11, the EPF10K30ETC144-3N is listed by Intel as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND), meaning the part is in maintenance production but not recommended for new programs; long-term supply continues for existing customers. Lead time through franchised distributors is generally 8–12 weeks, while independent brokers may offer faster delivery with variable pricing and traceability risk. Designers of new systems should evaluate the EP4CE, Cyclone IV, or MAX II CPLD families as modern successors.
What is the difference between EPF10K30ETC144-3N and EPF10K30ETC144-3?
The EPF10K30ETC144-3N and EPF10K30ETC144-3 share the same FLEX 10KE silicon, 144-TQFP package, 1,728 logic elements, and 102 I/Os; the trailing “N” on the EPF10K30ETC144-3N specifically denotes the lead-free (Pb-free) terminal finish per Altera/Intel nomenclature. According to the Altera datasheet ordering information, parts with the “N” suffix comply with lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak, whereas the non-N variant uses the legacy SnPb finish. They are functionally and pin-to-pin equivalent for design purposes.
What is the difference between EPF10K30ETC144-3N and EP1K30TC144-3N?
The EPF10K30ETC144-3N is a member of the FLEX 10KE family (commercial temperature, 0–70 °C, “-3” speed grade), while the EP1K30TC144-3N is from the lower-cost ACEX 1K family with a similar 30K-gate density but different architecture. Per FindIC cross-reference data, both use the TQFP-144 footprint and are largely pin-compatible for shared I/O banks, but they differ in internal logic cell structure, EAB configuration, and supported configuration bitstreams. Designs are not directly portable without re-compilation in the Quartus toolchain.
Is the EPF10K30ETC144-3N pin-compatible with EPF10K30EQC208-3N?
No — the EPF10K30ETC144-3N uses a 144-pin TQFP package, whereas the EPF10K30EQC208-3N uses a 208-pin PQFP package. While both are FLEX 10KE FPGAs with the same logic capacity (1,728 cells, 30K gates) and identical silicon architecture, the 208-pin package provides additional user I/Os (up to 147) that are simply not bonded out on the 144-pin version. SameFamily migration between TQFP-144 and PQFP-208 requires PCB redesign and is not a drop-in replacement.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPF10K30ETC144-3N?
The closest drop-in replacements for the EPF10K30ETC144-3N are other FLEX 10KE variants sharing the same TQFP-144 footprint, namely the EPF10K30ETC144-2N (slower “-2” speed grade) and the EPF10K30ATC144-1N (industrial “-1” speed grade, lower-power). Both share the same silicon die and pin-out; the only differences are speed grade, temperature grade, and possibly lead-free finish. For modern replacements, consider Cyclone IV (EP4CE30) or MAX V CPLDs — but note that these are not pin-compatible and require PCB redesign.
Where can I download the EPF10K30ETC144-3N datasheet PDF?
The official FLEX 10KE datasheet covering the EPF10K30ETC144-3N can be downloaded from Intel's Programmable Solutions Group Altera literature archive at the document titled “FLEX 10KE Device Family Data Sheet.” Secondary mirrors such as DigiChip, FPGAkey, and Datasheet.Live also host the PDF. The same datasheet covers all speed grades, packages, and pinouts within the FLEX 10KE family, including the 144-pin TQFP variant and the pin-out diagram referenced as “TQFP-144 (22 × 22 mm).”
Where can I find the EPF10K30ETC144-3N pinout diagram?
The full TQFP-144 pinout for the EPF10K30ETC144-3N is documented in the FLEX 10KE Device Family Data Sheet, with the pin-list table specifically for the 144-pin TQFP (package designation “144-pin TQFP” / LFQFP). Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner of the package body when oriented with the orientation marker upward, and pins are numbered counter-clockwise. Dedicated configuration pins include nCONFIG, nSTATUS, DCLK, DATA[7:0], MSEL[2:0], and JTAG TDI/TDO/TMS/TCK.
Hey, is the EPF10K30ETC144-3N the same as the EPF10K30EFC256-3N?
No — the EPF10K30ETC144-3N and the EPF10K30EFC256-3N are not the same part. Both are FLEX 10KE FPGAs with the same 30K-gate density, but the EPF10K30ETC144-3N comes in a TQFP-144 package while the EPF10K30EFC256-3N uses a 256-ball FineLine BGA. Per the Altera package migration guide, devices within the FLEX 10KE family share the same silicon but expose different I/O counts based on package, so they cannot be interchanged without a PCB layout change.
What are the key specifications of the EPF10K30ETC144-3N that engineers should know?
The EPF10K30ETC144-3N delivers 1,728 logic elements (216 LABs), 24,576 bits of embedded memory, 102 user I/Os, a 0.6 ns propagation delay, and a 2.5 V core supply, all packaged in a 144-pin TQFP measuring 22 × 22 mm with 0.5 mm pitch. According to the FLEX 10KE datasheet, the device supports JTAG-based IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan, multi-voltage I/O standards (3.3 V, 5 V), and SRAM-based in-system programmability. It is rated for commercial temperature (0–70 °C) and requires an external EPC2/EPC4 configuration device at power-up.
Which Intel/Altera FPGA equivalent from a different brand could replace EPF10K30ETC144-3N?
Cross-brand drop-in equivalents for the EPF10K30ETC144-3N are limited because no other FPGA manufacturer produces a pin-compatible TQFP-144 part with the same 1,728 logic cells and FLEX 10KE EAB architecture. The closest functional equivalent from another brand is the Xilinx XC2S150-5TQG144 (Spartan-II family, 150K system gates, TQG-144 package), which is pin-compatible with the TQFP-144 footprint but uses different configuration memory and a different toolchain. Designers should verify pin mapping, configuration device selection, and JTAG chain compatibility before substituting.

Guide de sélection

Choose the EPF10K30ETC144-3N when you need a 30K-gate FLEX 10KE FPGA in a TQFP-144 footprint, lead-free finish, and the fastest (-3) speed grade for commercial-temperature designs. Choose the EPF10K30ETC144-3 if you do not require lead-free compliance (lower cost, SnPb finish). Choose the EPF10K30ETC144-2N for cost-sensitive designs where a 25% slower speed grade is acceptable. Choose the EPF10K30ATC144-3 if your system must operate over the industrial -40 °C to 85 °C temperature range. All four share the same TQFP-144 footprint and 1,728 logic elements, enabling a single PCB layout to support multiple product variants.

Notes de conception

Estimated: the EPF10K30ETC144-3N requires a clean 2.5 V VCCINT supply with a maximum tolerance of ±5%. Provide a 10 µF bulk capacitor and at least three 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitors placed within 5 mm of the VCCINT/GND pin pairs. The I/O banks (VCCIO1–VCCIO8) must each be supplied at the desired logic level (3.3 V or 5 V) and require their own local 0.1 µF bypass capacitors; do not tie multiple VCCIO pins together without individual decoupling. Power-on ramp should be monotonic within the datasheet-specified range.

The FLEX 10KE family is SRAM-based, meaning configuration is volatile and is lost on every power-down; an external configuration device (EPC2, EPC4, or compatible) is required for standalone operation. Designers frequently omit the configuration device or wire nCONFIG incorrectly, leading to no-boot scenarios. Always sequence nCONFIG after VCCINT has stabilized, and route nSTATUS back to the configuration PROM as documented in AN 116 (Altera Configuration Handbook). Confirm MSEL[2:0] settings against the chosen configuration mode before programming.

Route JTAG signals (TDI, TMS, TCK, TDO) with 50 Ω controlled impedance and keep the JTAG chain length under 6 inches; place a 4.7 kΩ pull-up on TCK and TMS. Keep configuration signals (nCONFIG, nSTATUS, DCLK, DATA[7:0]) separated from switching I/O lines to avoid coupling noise that may corrupt configuration. Use at least four PCB ground layers directly under the TQFP-144 footprint and stitch vias around the perimeter for thermal dissipation.

When using the TQFP-144 footprint for drop-in migration between -3, -2, and -1 speed grades, leave the JTAG chain and configuration pin routing identical so that only the bitstream and the speed-grade label need updating. Place decoupling capacitors on the underside of the PCB directly under the VCCINT and VCCIO pads for best high-frequency performance. Avoid running high-speed (≥50 MHz) I/O traces parallel to the configuration clock (DCLK) to minimize crosstalk during programming.
