EP1K100QC208-1GZ Ringkasan

The Intel EP1K100QC208-1GZ is a member of the ACEX-1K family of FPGAs that integrates 100,000 typical gates and 4,992 logic elements (LEs) into a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP/BFQFP) measuring 28x28 mm. Operating from a 2.5 V core supply (2.375 V to 2.625 V), the device delivers up to 250 MHz system performance and exposes 147 user I/O pins, with embedded array blocks (EABs) providing 49,152 bits of dual-port RAM for efficient on-chip memory implementation.

An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor device built around an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and I/O cells, allowing designers to implement arbitrary digital logic after PCB assembly. FPGAs sit hierarchically above fixed-function ASICs and below microcontrollers in design flexibility, and are favored for prototyping, low-volume production, and DSP/data-path acceleration. The ACEX-1K family specifically introduced the embedded array block, allowing megafunctions such as efficient memory and specialized logic functions to be implemented alongside general-purpose LEs.

Key features of the EP1K100QC208-1GZ include the SameFrame pin migration option with 256-pin FineLine BGA variants, IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan support, in-system programmability via the MAX+PLUS II or Quartus development systems, and a robust SRAM-based configuration cell that supports fast reconfiguration. The quad flat pack package offers a JEDEC-standard 3.49 mm height profile and a 0.5 mm lead pitch suitable for production through-hole-style surface-mount assembly lines and breadboard-friendly socket adapters during prototyping.

The device architecture employs a Look-Up Table (LUT)-based LE fabric with EABs of 4,096 bits each, providing deterministic logic delays and predictable timing closure. The 2.5 V core is paired with multi-standard I/O that supports LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL, and PCI signaling through dedicated I/O banks, and the silicon is offered in both commercial and industrial temperature grades with device speed grades of -1 (fastest), -2, and -3. The 'GZ' suffix in the part number denotes a lead-free, RoHS-compliant package.

Typical applications include glue logic replacement, bridge and protocol conversion in legacy systems, low-volume telecom line cards, industrial control and instrumentation front-ends, and educational platforms. Its 49,152 bits of embedded RAM and 147 user I/Os are well matched to small DSP filter chains, UART/SPI expansion, and custom state-machine controllers.

When designing with this device, ensure that the MAX+PLUS II or Quartus toolchain version supports the ACEX-1K family and that a configuration EPROM (EPC) or JTAG programmer is available. Since the EP1K100 is a mature EOL device, verify long-term availability before new design starts.

With 4,992 LEs and 49,152 bits of embedded dual-port RAM, it can host multiple finite state machines, timing generators, and small protocol engines on the same die. The 2.5 V core and 147 user I/O pins allow direct interfacing to LVTTL and LVCMOS signals commonly found on 24V industrial backplanes. Because the device is supported by MAX+PLUS II and Quartus, existing customer firmware can be recompiled and reused without qualification cost.

🌐

Telecom Line Card Bridge Interface

In legacy telecom line cards, the EP1K100QC208-1GZ serves as a bridge between backplane TDM buses and local microcontrollers. Its 49,152 bits of embedded dual-port RAM are ideal for small elastic buffers, while the 147 user I/Os tolerate LVTTL, LVCMOS, and PCI levels needed for H.110-style TDM interfaces. The 250 MHz internal performance is sufficient for 8 MHz TDM clocks plus protocol overhead. The 208-pin PQFP package supports socketed field replacement on existing deployed cards, extending the service life of installed equipment.

🔧

Test & Measurement Front-End

The EP1K100QC208-1GZ is a strong fit for test and measurement front-ends where custom signal conditioning and pattern generation are required. The 4,992 LEs can implement timing sequencers, peak detectors, and serial protocol decoders, while the embedded array blocks provide deterministic latency for pulse generators. With 147 user I/Os, the device connects directly to ADC/DAC front-ends and LCD/keypad interfaces. Engineers benefit from Quartus incremental compilation to iterate designs without affecting proven logic.

💊

Medical Instrument Controller

In medical instrumentation, the EP1K100QC208-1GZ is used as a glue-logic controller in patient monitors and laboratory analyzers. The 2.5 V core plus 147 user I/Os let the device manage LCD panels, keypads, and serial interfaces between analog front-ends and main processors. Its deterministic timing simplifies IEC 62304 firmware validation by partitioning fixed hardware from configurable logic. With industrial temperature variants available (EP1K100QC208-1N), the device is suitable for thermally demanding enclosures.

✈️

Military/Aerospace Retrofit Systems

Long-life aerospace and defense platforms retain the EP1K100QC208-1GZ as a drop-in replacement for obsolete 74-series glue logic on legacy avionics and shipboard systems. The 208-pin PQFP package is socket-compatible with the leaded variant, simplifying field replacement on existing PCBs. With industrial temperature grades and known timing characteristics, the device meets the deterministic behavior required for safety-critical paths. Maintenance depots benefit from identical firmware bitstreams across leaded and lead-free variants.

📺

Educational FPGA Teaching Platforms

Universities and training institutes use the EP1K100QC208-1GZ in introductory FPGA labs because the ACEX-1K family is fully supported by the free Quartus Web Edition toolchain. The 4,992 LEs give students enough headroom to implement RISC-V cores, VGA controllers, and simple DSP filters. The 147 user I/Os accommodate pushbuttons, 7-segment displays, and parallel expansion headers found in lab boards. Because the part is widely available on the secondary market, schools can build many lab stations affordably.

What is the best drop-in replacement for the EP1K100QC208-1GZ?
The closest true drop-in replacement for the EP1K100QC208-1GZ in the same 208-PQFP footprint is the EP1K100QC208-1, which is pin-compatible and uses the same ACEX-1K silicon but is offered in a non-GZ (leaded) package. Other same-package speed-grade siblings such as the EP1K100QC208-2N and EP1K100QC208-3N also share the 208-pin PQFP footprint but differ in speed grade. Cyclone and Cyclone II FPGAs are not drop-in and require a PCB redesign.
Can the XC7K160T-2FBG484C replace the EP1K100QC208-1GZ?
No, the XC7K160T-2FBG484C from Xilinx is NOT a drop-in replacement for the EP1K100QC208-1GZ. The two parts use different packages (FBG-484 BGA vs 208-PQFP), different configuration schemes, different JTAG/ICAP programming interfaces, and different I/O standards. A replacement requires a PCB redesign, firmware rewrite for the Xilinx toolchain, and full re-qualification. Use this part only when a redesign is acceptable.
When should I choose the EP1K100QC208-1GZ over a Cyclone FPGA?
Choose the EP1K100QC208-1GZ only when maintaining an existing board layout and firmware investment on the ACEX-1K family is mandatory, or when a long-running design must be kept on parts already in stock. For new designs, choose a current Cyclone, MAX II, or Lattice ECP5 device instead because the EP1K100QC208-1GZ is obsolete, supported by older toolchains only, and faces supply risk.
Is the EP1K100QC208-1GZ suitable for new product designs?
No, the EP1K100QC208-1GZ is not recommended for new product designs because the part is obsolete and faces significant long-term supply risk. Designers should select a current-generation Cyclone, MAX II, or Lattice ECP5 family device. The EP1K100QC208-1GZ remains acceptable for maintaining legacy equipment or supporting existing customers whose firmware is locked to the ACEX-1K family.
Where can I download the EP1K100QC208-1GZ datasheet PDF?
The EP1K100QC208-1GZ datasheet is available from the Altera/Intel legacy archive; a publicly accessible mirror is hosted at alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/354275/ALTERA/EP1K100.html and additional copies appear on alterasemi.com. Download the full ACEX-1K family datasheet for detailed pinout, timing, configuration, and EAB specifications. Because the part is obsolete, always verify the document revision matches the silicon date code of the parts you purchase.
Where can I find the EP1K100QC208-1GZ pinout diagram?
The EP1K100QC208-1GZ pinout is documented in the ACEX-1K family datasheet available from Altera/Intel and mirrors such as alldatasheet.com. The 208-pin PQFP package uses a 28x28 mm body with 0.5 mm lead pitch, and pin 1 is located at the top-left corner next to the orientation dot. Consult the same datasheet for bank assignments, configuration pin functions (nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE), and JTAG pin locations.
What are the key specifications of the EP1K100QC208-1GZ that engineers should know?
The EP1K100QC208-1GZ integrates 4,992 logic elements, 100,000 typical gates, 49,152 bits of embedded dual-port RAM, and 147 user I/Os in a 208-pin PQFP package. It operates from a 2.5 V core supply (2.375 V to 2.625 V) and supports LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL, and PCI I/O standards. JTAG boundary-scan, in-system SRAM configuration, and SameFrame pin migration to the 256-pin FineLine BGA round out the key features.
What is the best Altera/Intel equivalent for the EP1K100QC208-1GZ in the same package?
The best Altera/Intel same-package equivalent for the EP1K100QC208-1GZ is the EP1K100QC208-1, which shares the same 208-PQFP package and pinout but ships in a non-GZ (leaded) variant. For pin-compatible speed-grade siblings, the EP1K100QC208-2N and EP1K100QC208-3N also share the 208-PQFP footprint. None of these changes the silicon family, so firmware and Quartus projects drop in directly.

Data referensi engineering untuk EP1K100QC208-1GZ — pembandingan, panduan desain, dan informasi konformitas.

Panduan Pemilihan

Choose the EP1K100QC208-1GZ when maintaining a legacy ACEX-1K design that requires lead-free / RoHS compliance, the existing firmware targets Quartus or MAX+PLUS II, and the 208-PQFP footprint must be retained. Choose the EP1K100QC208-1 instead when leaded packaging is acceptable and no RoHS directive is in scope. Choose the EP1K100QC208-2N or EP1K100QC208-3N for the same 208-PQFP footprint at a slower speed grade when -1 inventory is unavailable. For new designs, choose a current-generation Cyclone, MAX II, or Lattice ECP5 family device instead, because the entire ACEX-1K family is obsolete and carries long-term supply risk.

Diferensiator Kunci

  • Lead-free RoHS-compliant package in the 208-PQFP footprint (vsEP1K100QC208-1)
  • Fastest speed grade within the ACEX-1K family (vsEP1K100QC208-2N / EP1K100QC208-3N)
  • Newer APEX II architecture with enhanced features (vsEP2K100QC208-1N)

Catatan Desain

Estimated: at typical industrial operating conditions (VCCINT = 2.5 V, 25 °C, 50% LE utilization, ~100 MHz toggle rate), the EP1K100QC208-1GZ consumes roughly 0.5 W to 1.5 W. Add a 10 µF bulk decoupling capacitor and at least one 0.1 µF ceramic per VCCINT and VCCIO pin pair. Use separate analog and digital grounds where possible, and tie all VCC pins even if a bank is unused.

Because the EP1K100QC208-1GZ is SRAM-based, configuration must be reloaded after every power-up. Designers must add an EPC-series configuration EPROM or implement a microcontroller-driven passive serial configuration scheme. Skipping this step leaves the device in an undefined state where I/O pins drive random values. Always include a CONF_DONE pull-up and use nCONFIG for orderly reconfiguration.

Estimated: with theta_JA of approximately 35 °C/W for the 208-pin PQFP on a standard JEDEC test board, a 1.5 W dissipation raises junction temperature by ~52 °C above ambient. For high-utilization designs, mount the device on at least 4-layer FR4 with a continuous ground pour to reduce thermal rise. Consider airflow if the design exceeds 70 °C ambient operation.

Route JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) with controlled impedance and avoid running them near switching I/O traces. Keep configuration clocks away from fast edge-rate buses to prevent crosstalk into the configuration memory. For high-speed LVDS-style pseudo-differential pairs, maintain 100 Ω differential impedance and length-match to within 50 mil across each pair.
