EPF10K40RC208-3N Présentation

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPF10K40RC208-3N is a member of the Flex 10K family of FPGAs, featuring 40,000 equivalent gates, 2,304 logic elements (LEs) and 16,384 bits of embedded SRAM in a 208-pin RQFP (Power QFP) surface-mount package. It is built on a 0.42 µm CMOS SRAM process and operates from a 5 V supply, delivering a propagation delay of 0.6 ns and supporting internal clock frequencies up to 66.67 MHz per the manufacturer description, with 147 user I/O pins available on the RQFP-208 footprint.

The Flex 10K family was the industry's first embedded programmable logic device (PLD) family, providing System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration. An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a reconfigurable integrated circuit whose logic blocks, routing and I/O cells are defined by a user-supplied bitstream stored in SRAM. Flex 10K sits in the broader taxonomy as PLD -> CPLD/FPGA -> programmable logic -> integrated circuit, and historically pioneered embedded-array blocks (EABs) used as on-chip ROM, RAM, or multiplier functions.

Key features of the EPF10K40RC208-3N include 2,304 logic elements, 16,384 bits (16 Kb) of embedded array SRAM, 147 user I/Os with multi-voltage I/O support (3.3 V and 5 V), and an exposed thermal pad option on the 208-BFQFP package. Speed grade -3 places it in the mid-speed bin of the family, and the -N suffix denotes a lead-free / Pb-free terminal finish.

The device uses a hierarchical interconnect architecture with embedded array blocks (EABs), look-up table (LUT)-based logic elements, and continuous FastTrack routing. Configuration is loaded from a serial PROM or microcontroller into on-chip SRAM cells, allowing unlimited in-system reconfiguration. MultiVolt I/O allows it to interface with both 3.3 V and 5 V peripherals on the same board, an important feature during the transition era of mixed-voltage logic.

Typical applications of the EPF10K40RC208-3N include glue logic replacement, custom peripheral controllers, industrial bus bridges, telecommunications line-card interface logic, and legacy industrial/embedded glue. It is also widely used to bridge legacy TTL/CMOS logic blocks and as a prototyping vehicle before migrating to a structured ASIC.

Design considerations include ensuring the JTAG configuration chain supports 5 V signaling, using a stable 5 V core supply, and following the MAX+PLUS II or Quartus design flow (where the EPF10K40 is still supported for legacy projects). Because this part has been in production since the late 1990s, lifecycle status should be confirmed before any new commitment.

This page consolidates distributor pricing, drop-in replacement candidates, and design notes that complement (but do not replace) the manufacturer datasheet and legacy configuration manuals.

Aerospace & Defense Avionics Subsystems

Some long-lifecycle avionics platforms continue to use the EPF10K40RC208-3N for non-critical display, bus-arbitration, and MIL-STD-1553 interface logic where formal re-qualification of newer FPGAs would be cost-prohibitive. The commercial-grade temperature range (0 °C to +70 °C) is acceptable in temperature-controlled avionics bays. Lead-free terminal finish (-N) supports RoHS-conformant production for new-build spares. Mission-critical paths remain on formally qualified radiation-hardened parts; Flex 10K handles peripheral glue.

EPF10K40RC208-3N vs EPF10K30AQC240-3 - which is better for new designs?

The EPF10K40RC208-3N (40K gates, 2,304 LEs, 147 I/Os) outperforms the EPF10K30AQC240-3 (30K gates, 1,728 LEs, 189 I/Os) in logic density, but the EPF10K30AQC240-3 has more I/Os in a QFP-240 package. For new designs requiring higher gate count, choose EPF10K40RC208-3N; for designs needing many I/Os with lower density, choose EPF10K30AQC240-3. Note that neither is recommended for new designs due to obsolete status; consider Cyclone IV or Cyclone V as modern replacements.

What is the best drop-in replacement for EPF10K40RC208-3N?

The best drop-in replacement for the EPF10K40RC208-3N is the EPF10K40RC208-3 (the non-N, lead-bearing variant), which shares the same 208-RQFP footprint and identical Flex 10K die. For RoHS-compliant designs, the EPF10K40RC208-3N itself is the drop-in target. Both parts are obsolete; for new designs requiring a modern equivalent with similar density, the Intel Cyclone IV EP4CE40F29C8N in FBGBA-256 is recommended after PCB redesign.

When should I choose EPF10K40RC208-3N over EPF10K40RC208-3?

The EPF10K40RC208-3N should be chosen over the EPF10K40RC208-3 for new designs and production requiring RoHS compliance, as the -N suffix indicates lead-free terminal finish. Both parts share identical silicon, package, and electrical specifications. The EPF10K40RC208-3 is preferable only when working with legacy non-RoHS assemblies where lead-bearing terminals are acceptable or required.

Is the EPF10K40RC208-3N suitable for new industrial designs in 2026?

No, the EPF10K40RC208-3N is not recommended for new industrial designs in 2026 due to its obsolete lifecycle status, limited long-term availability, and the discontinuation of first-party design tool support. Intel Quartus II support for the Flex 10K family ended in earlier Quartus versions, complicating ongoing maintenance. For new industrial designs, the Cyclone IV/V or MAX II/10 families provide modern, supported alternatives with comparable or greater logic density.

Where to download the EPF10K40RC208-3N datasheet PDF?

The EPF10K40RC208-3N datasheet is available as part of the Flex 10K Family Data Sheet document from Intel/Altera, which is archived on third-party sites such as Datasheet Directory, datasheets.globalspec.com, and chipdig.com. The original datasheet was published by Altera (now Intel). Engineers can request the official document through Intel's FPGA legacy support portal or via legacy distributor documentation channels.

Where to find the EPF10K40RC208-3N pinout?

The EPF10K40RC208-3N pinout is documented in the Flex 10K Family Data Sheet, where pin assignments for the 208-pin RQFP variant are listed by function group: user I/O banks, dedicated inputs, JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO), configuration pins (nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE, MSELn, DCLK, DATA0), and power/ground. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner when the package is oriented with the dot marker upward. Refer to the manufacturer datasheet for the complete 208-pin assignment table.

Guide de sélection

Choose the EPF10K40RC208-3N when you need pin-compatible drop-in replacement in an existing 208-RQFP PCB designed for the Flex 10K family and require RoHS-compliant lead-free terminal finish. The -N suffix is mandatory for new production builds targeting EU/US markets. For legacy non-RoHS assemblies, choose EPF10K40RC208-3 instead. Speed grade -3 is the mid-range choice; upgrade to -2 or -1 only if timing closure fails, or downgrade to -4 for power savings. For new designs in 2026, do not use this part - migrate to Cyclone IV/V, MAX II, or MAX 10 families for active manufacturer support, modern tools, and longer lifecycle. The Flex 10K family is officially obsolete.

Notes de conception

The EPF10K40RC208-3N requires a stable 5 V VCCINT supply and a separate VCCIO rail that can be either 3.3 V or 5 V (MultiVolt). Decouple each VCCINT pin with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the pin, plus a bulk 47 µF tantalum capacitor near the regulator. Estimate: at 66.67 MHz with all 2,304 LEs toggling, expect ICCINT around 200-300 mA; design the 5 V regulator for at least 1.5x margin.

Use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated ground plane for the EPF10K40RC208-3N. Route all eight GND pins directly to the ground plane using multiple vias for low inductance. Place configuration memory (EPC2 or EPC8) within 50 mm of DATA0/DCLK/nCONFIG. Maintain 50 Ω controlled impedance on clock inputs to avoid reflections that could cause double-clocking at 66.67 MHz.

Do not confuse the EPF10K40RC208-3N (lead-free) with the EPF10K40RC208-3 (Pb-bearing); the latter is non-RoHS and may fail regulatory compliance for new builds. Ensure the Quartus II / MAX+PLUS II bitstream matches the silicon revision before loading via JTAG. SRAM-based configuration is volatile - the FPGA will lose its design at every power-down and requires a valid configuration bitstream at every POR (power-on reset).

The 208-RQFP package dissipates up to approximately 1.5 W under heavy utilization. Estimate: at VCCINT = 5 V and 300 mA core current, P_dissipation ≈ 1.5 W; junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (theta_JA) is around 30 °C/W for this package, giving a 45 °C rise above ambient. Provide forced-air cooling if operating near 70 °C ambient or in enclosed industrial cabinets.
