EP1K10TC100-3N - 10K-Gate ACEX-1K FPGA, 576 Cells, 66 I/O, 100-TQFP | Intel / Altera
The Intel / Altera EP1K10TC100-3N is a member of the ACEX-1K FPGA family, providing 10,000 typical gates, 576 logic elements (cells), and 12,288 bits of embedded SRAM in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) package. Built on a 0.22 µm CMOS process with a 2.5 V core supply, this device operates at a maximum internal clock frequency of 200 MHz and is offered in a -3 commercial speed grade. The device exposes 66 user I/O pins and integrates a PCI-compliant I/O structure, allowing direct interfacing with 5.0 V PCI bus signals at 33 MHz.
An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a programmable logic device that combines configurable logic blocks, programmable interconnect, and I/O cells on a single silicon die, enabling the implementation of arbitrary digital circuits without mask or tooling costs. Within the broader taxonomy of integrated circuits, FPGAs sit alongside CPLDs, microcontrollers, and ASICs as a flexible alternative to fixed-function logic. The ACEX-1K family specifically delivers low-cost system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration, combining dedicated embedded array blocks (EABs) for memory and specialized logic functions with a general-purpose logic array. This hierarchy makes ACEX-1K parts an intermediate-density choice between small CPLDs and high-density Stratix-class FPGAs.
Key features of the EP1K10TC100-3N include 72 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), built-in Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) boundary-scan test circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990, dual-port EAB memory for efficient FIFO and RAM implementation, and PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2 compliance at 5.0 V operation. The device supports in-system programmability via configuration devices or the JTAG port, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs in many designs. The TQFP-100 footprint provides a 14 mm × 14 mm body suitable for cost-sensitive through-hole-style surface-mount assembly.
From an architectural perspective, the EP1K10TC100-3N arranges its 576 logic elements into 72 LABs of 8 elements each, with each element containing a 4-input look-up table, a programmable register, and dedicated carry chain logic for arithmetic functions. The embedded array blocks (EABs) implement dual-port RAM, ROM, or specialized megafunctions, providing up to 12,288 bits of fast on-chip memory. The 0.22 µm CMOS process and 2.5 V core reduce dynamic power relative to older 5 V FPGAs while maintaining TTL-compatible I/O through PCI-compliant drivers.
Typical applications include PCI bus interface glue logic, low-volume prototyping of digital signal processing pipelines, industrial control state machines, glue logic for embedded microprocessor systems, and legacy design maintenance. The 66 user I/Os and 12 Kb of embedded memory are well matched to glue-logic bridges, custom peripheral controllers, and small DSP front-ends.
When designing with this part, engineers should note that the ACEX-1K family has been superseded by Cyclone-series FPGAs in modern designs. The Quartus design tool (versions up to 13.0) supports this device, but new development should consider Cyclone II/III for active lifecycle status and improved power efficiency.
