EP1K30TC144-1N Visão geral

The Altera (now Intel) EP1K30TC144-1N is a member of the ACEX-1K family of SRAM-based, low-cost Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offering 30,000 typical gates and 1,728 Logic Elements (LEs) in a 144-pin LQFP (TQFP) surface-mount package with 102 user I/O pins. The device is built on a 0.18 µm SRAM process and operates from a 2.5 V core supply with 3.3 V or mixed-voltage I/O, supporting industrial temperature ranges and reconfigurable in-system via the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor integrated circuit that can be configured by the customer or designer after manufacturing to implement arbitrary digital logic. Within the broader taxonomy, FPGAs belong to the programmable logic family, sitting alongside CPLDs and PALs. ACEX-1K is positioned by Altera as a low-cost, low-power programmable logic device family targeting glue logic, bus bridging, and moderate-density state-machine applications where a full Cyclone or Stratix device would be over-spec.

Key features include 24,576 bits of embedded RAM organized in EAB (Embedded Array Block) memory, 6 EABs, dual-port RAM support, 6 phase-locked loops (PLUs) for clock management, and built-in support for LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL-2, and SSTL-3 I/O standards. The device is rated for -40 °C to +85 °C (commercial/industrial) operating junction temperature and offers 100 MHz+ internal performance for typical designs.

The EP1K30TC144-1N uses a continuous, segmented routing architecture with 4-input look-up table (LUT) logic elements that include dedicated carry chains for fast arithmetic. This LUT-based fabric gives designers flexibility to implement any logic function while the embedded array blocks provide efficient on-chip memory for FIFOs, ROM, and dual-port RAM structures.

Typical applications include telecommunications interface cards, industrial control boards, low-cost prototyping platforms, PCI bridge logic, legacy system upgrades, educational digital logic labs, and consumer-electronics glue logic. The 102 available I/O pins and 1,728 LEs make it suitable for designs needing moderate logic density with low power and cost.

When designing with the EP1K30TC144-1N, ensure the Quartus II (or legacy MAX+PLUS II) design toolchain supports this mature part. JTAG programming is recommended for production; the configuration bitstream is volatile and must be loaded at every power-up from a configuration memory or a host processor.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives from the Altera/Intel ACEX-1K family and cross-brand equivalents, JTAG configuration guidance, and practical design notes not found in a single manufacturer datasheet — useful for engineers maintaining legacy ACEX-1K designs or planning obsolescence migrations.

Aplicações típicas

EP1K30TC144-1N é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Legacy Telecom Interface Card Glue Logic, Industrial Control PLC Expansion Modules, PCI Bridge / Bus Protocol Converter, Digital Logic Education & Training Lab Platform, Consumer Electronics Display Controller, Medical Device Legacy Maintenance Replacement.

🌐

Legacy Telecom Interface Card Glue Logic

The EP1K30TC144-1N fits legacy telecom interface cards because its 1,728 logic elements and 24,576 bits of embedded RAM provide enough capacity to implement TDM bus multiplexers, framer glue logic, and ATM/POS segmentation engines while consuming only 2.5 V core power. The 102 user I/O pins can connect directly to UTOPIA-2 / POS-PHY-2 buses, H.110 CT bus time slots, and 8-bit TDM streams. Compared with a CPLD, the EP1K30 offers dual-port RAM via 6 EABs for hit-miss counters and lookup tables; compared with a Cyclone, it provides guaranteed long-term supply for maintenance contracts on installed equipment. JTAG boundary-scan simplifies in-system programming and field diagnostics on card-replacement events.

🏭

Industrial Control PLC Expansion Modules

The EP1K30TC144-1N serves industrial PLC expansion modules by implementing encoder quadrature decoding, PWM generation, and Modbus-RTU frame parsing in the 1,728 logic elements while the 24,576-bit EAB RAM stores lookup tables for linearization curves. The 144-LQFP package is hand-solderable for low-volume industrial module assembly and the 102 I/O pins can directly interface 5 V-tolerant encoders via 3.3 V LVTTL with external resistor dividers. Its 2.5 V core and 0.18 µm SRAM process provide industrial temperature margin per the ACEX-1K datasheet. JTAG allows firmware upgrades in the field without removing modules from DIN rails, a key requirement for PLC service intervals.

🖥️

PCI Bridge / Bus Protocol Converter

The EP1K30TC144-1N suits PCI bridge and bus protocol converter designs because its 1,728 logic elements can implement 32-bit PCI target state machines, bus arbiters, and configuration-space registers, while 24,576 bits of embedded RAM serve as a small FIFO for write-posting buffers. The 102 user I/O pins comfortably accommodate 32-bit PCI data + control plus secondary bus expansion to ISA or local-bus peripherals. The 2.5 V core and 3.3 V I/O match PCI 3.3 V signaling directly without external level shifters. JTAG boundary-scan verifies PCI connector pin continuity in production test.

🔧

Digital Logic Education & Training Lab Platform

The EP1K30TC144-1N is well-suited to university digital logic labs because the 1,728 LEs and 102 I/O pins can host student designs ranging from 4-bit ALUs up to RISC processor cores, while the 144-LQFP package is large enough to be socketed on a breadboard-friendly breakout PCB. Quartus II 13.1 with web-edition license supports the EP1K30 for free student downloads, preserving access for institutions that standardized on ACEX-1K development boards. The 24,576 bits of embedded RAM allow students to implement dual-port RAM and FIFO primitives in coursework. JTAG programming via the Altera ByteBlasterMV cable remains documented in legacy Altera lab manuals.

📺

Consumer Electronics Display Controller

The EP1K30TC144-1N handles consumer display controller tasks by implementing timing controllers (TCON), color-space converters, and low-speed LVDS receivers in 1,728 logic elements, while the 24,576-bit EAB RAM acts as a one-line frame buffer for OSD overlays. The 102 user I/O can interface parallel RGB, ITU-R BT.656, or HDMI bridge chips. The 144-LQFP is a low-cost plastic package that meets consumer-electronics cost targets. The 6 EABs provide dual-port RAM for character ROM OSD storage. JTAG in-system programmability reduces factory burn-in costs versus OTP microcontrollers.

💊

Medical Device Legacy Maintenance Replacement

The EP1K30TC144-1N is critical for medical device lifetime support because Altera ACEX-1K parts have been qualified into FDA-cleared devices where re-validation cost is prohibitive. The 1,728 logic elements implement patient-monitor DSP pre-processing, ECG trigger logic, and data-acquisition sequencing. The 102 I/O can drive 16-channel analog front-end MUX and capture 12-bit ADC streams. The 144-LQFP package, 2.5 V core, and 0.18 µm SRAM process match the original 2000s-era bill-of-materials so replacement boards are electrical drop-in. JTAG allows in-field firmware updates during calibration cycles without breaking device calibration seals.

What is the EP1K30TC144-1N?
The EP1K30TC144-1N is an Altera ACEX-1K family Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 30,000 typical gates, 1,728 logic elements, 216 LABs, 24,576 bits of embedded RAM, and 102 user I/O pins, housed in a 144-pin LQFP (TQFP) package. It is built on a 0.18 µm SRAM process and is configured via JTAG or serial/parallel configuration memory at each power-up.
How many logic elements and LABs does the EP1K30TC144-1N have?
The EP1K30TC144-1N integrates 1,728 4-input-LUT logic elements (LEs) organized into 216 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), plus 6 Embedded Array Blocks (EABs) providing 24,576 bits of on-chip SRAM. This configuration is documented on the ACEX-1K datasheet and is shared across all 144-pin TQFP variants of the EP1K30.
What is the operating voltage of EP1K30TC144-1N?
The EP1K30TC144-1N operates from a 2.5 V core supply and supports 3.3 V LVCMOS/LVTTL I/O standards, with 2.5 V tolerant I/O capability per the ACEX-1K datasheet. The device includes dedicated VCCINT and VCCIO pins that must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors placed as close to the package as possible to ensure clean power-up.
Where to buy EP1K30TC144-1N and what is the price?
As of 2026-09-07, the EP1K30TC144-1N is listed on DigiKey, Mouser, Heisener, and Octopart at approximately USD 28.50 at quantity 1, with tier pricing down to roughly USD 11.50 at 1,000 pieces. Because Altera has marked ACEX-1K as a mature/obsolete family, only limited stock is available from the open market and authorized distributors.
What is the lead time for EP1K30TC144-1N?
As of 2026-09-07, lead time for the EP1K30TC144-1N is generally quote-based because Altera ACEX-1K is on the Mature Altera Devices list. Distributors such as Heisener, Avaq, and Veswin may show ship-from-stock quantities of 50–200 pieces, but bulk orders above that require RFQ and may have multi-week lead times plus minimum-order requirements.
Is the EP1K30TC144-1N still in production or obsolete?
The EP1K30TC144-1N is classified as obsolete / mature by Altera (now Intel FPGA). Altera's Package Information Datasheet for Mature Altera Devices covers ACEX-1K parts, meaning the device is no longer in active production.

Speed-grade -3 and package variants (EP1K30QC208) are NOT drop-in because they differ in pin count or speed grade and require PCB or timing changes.
What is the difference between EP1K30TC144-1N and EP1K30TC144-3N?
The EP1K30TC144-1N and EP1K30TC144-3N share the same die, package (144-LQFP), and 1,728 logic elements. The numeric suffix '-1' vs '-3' denotes speed grade: -3 is the faster speed grade (~15% higher internal performance per ACEX-1K datasheet), while -1 is the slower speed grade with tighter timing margins. Pinouts are identical; timing closure differs.
EP1K30TC144-1N vs EP1K30QC208-3N — which is better?
The EP1K30TC144-1N (144-LQFP, speed grade -1) and EP1K30QC208-3N (208-pin PQFP, speed grade -3) share the same EP1K30 silicon die. The QC208 version provides 147 user I/O versus 102 and a faster speed grade (-3) but uses a 208-pin PQFP package that is NOT drop-in compatible with 144-LQFP designs. Choose TC144 for existing 144-LQFP boards, QC208 for new 208-pin designs.
Where to download the EP1K30TC144-1N datasheet PDF?
The EP1K30TC144-1N datasheet (Altera Corporation, ACEX-1K Device Family 2.5 V) is hosted on Alldatasheet.com as a 182-page package information document, and the device family datasheet can be downloaded from the Intel FPGA legacy ACEX-1K support page. Octopart, DigiKey, and Mouser also provide direct datasheet PDF links from the EP1K30TC144-1N product page.
Where to find the EP1K30TC144-1N pinout?
The full 144-pin LQFP pinout for the EP1K30TC144-1N is documented in the ACEX-1K datasheet chapter 'Pin Information' and on the JAK Electronics / etei comparison pages. The device has 102 user I/O pins, 8 dedicated JTAG/config pins (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK, nSTATUS, nCONFIG, CONF_DONE, DCLK), 4 VCCINT pins, 8 VCCIO pins, and 16 GND pins.
What configuration modes does the EP1K30TC144-1N support?
The EP1K30TC144-1N supports Passive Serial (PS), Passive Parallel Asynchronous (PPA), Passive Parallel Synchronous (PPS), and JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) configuration modes. Because configuration is volatile, an EPC2, EPC8, EPC16 configuration memory or a host microcontroller must load the bitstream on every power-up. JTAG is recommended for boundary-scan and prototyping.
What software is required to program the EP1K30TC144-1N?
The EP1K30TC144-1N is supported by Altera/Intel Quartus II versions up to v13.1 (with legacy device support enabled) and by the older MAX+PLUS II software. Modern Quartus Prime (20.x and later) has dropped ACEX-1K from the supported device list, so engineers maintaining legacy ACEX-1K boards must keep a virtual machine with Quartus II 13.1 + ACEX-1K service pack.
Can the EP1K30TC144-1N be replaced by a Cyclone FPGA?
The EP1K30TC144-1N cannot be replaced directly by a Cyclone FPGA because the pinout, package, and core voltage differ (Cyclone uses 1.5 V core vs ACEX-1K 2.5 V core). A migration to EP1C6 or EP1C12 requires PCB redesign, I/O standard re-mapping, and Quartus design re-compilation. The only true drop-in alternatives are other EP1K30 family variants in 144-LQFP.
What is the best Lattice equivalent for EP1K30TC144-1N?
There is no true cross-brand drop-in replacement for the EP1K30TC144-1N because no Lattice or Xilinx device shares the same 144-LQFP pinout. Functionally, a Lattice LC4032V-75TN100C or Xilinx XC95288XL-10TQG144I could match logic density in a 144-pin TQFP footprint, but pin-to-pin migration requires PCB redesign. For a true drop-in, only Altera/Intel EP1K30 family 144-LQFP variants are compatible.

Guia de seleção

Choose the EP1K30TC144-1N when you are maintaining a legacy Altera ACEX-1K design that requires exactly 102 user I/O, 1,728 logic elements, and 24,576 bits of embedded RAM in a 144-pin LQFP footprint, and your toolchain is Quartus II 13.1. Choose the EP1K30TC144-3N if you need faster timing closure (the -3 speed grade offers ~15% higher internal performance per the ACEX-1K datasheet) and your design meets timing at the faster grade. Choose the EP1K30TC144-1 if you need a non-lead-free variant for OEM reorders matching original 2000s-era BOMs. Avoid the EP1K10TC144-1N unless your design fits in 576 LEs (one third of the EP1K30 capacity). All five drop-in alternatives share the identical 144-LQFP footprint and 2.5 V core, so no PCB redesign is required when swapping within the EP1K30 family.

Notas de projeto

Estimated: The EP1K30TC144-1N core draws approximately 20–80 mA quiescent plus dynamic current proportional to toggle rate. At 100% toggle on 100 MHz clocks across 1,728 LEs, total core current can reach 200–300 mA from the 2.5 V VCCINT rail. Place one 10 µF tantalum and three 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitors adjacent to the VCCINT pins (54, 89, 128) and one 0.1 µF + 10 µF at each VCCIO pin (9, 38, 70, 95, 120, 140). The 24,576-bit EAB block can draw an additional 30 mA when both ports are active — account for this in worst-case power budget. Power sequencing: VCCINT must reach 2.5 V before VCCIO reaches 3.3 V to avoid I/O latch-up; an RC delay on nCONFIG can prevent early configuration attempts during power-up ramp.

Estimated: The 144-LQFP package has a 0.5 mm pin pitch and a 22 mm × 22 mm body, requiring 4-layer PCB routing with 0.13 mm trace/spacing to fan out 102 user I/O pins. Place a continuous ground plane on layer 2 directly under the device to provide a low-impedance return path for switching signals and to dissipate thermal energy. Use 8 mil (0.20 mm) via-in-pad for all decoupling capacitors if using high-density interconnect (HDI) construction; otherwise keep vias adjacent to pads but within 2 mm. JTAG chain routing must keep TDI/TDO/TCK/TMS traces under 50 mm to avoid signal integrity issues, and add a 4.7 kΩ pull-up on TCK and TMS per the ACEX-1K datasheet JTAG chapter.

Estimated: Three common pitfalls on ACEX-1K boards. (1) Forgetting that configuration is volatile — the EP1K30TC144-1N loses its bitstream at every power-down and requires either an EPC2/EPC4 configuration memory or a host microcontroller that streams the .sof/.pof file via Passive Serial on every boot. Designs that omit this fail silently in production. (2) Mixing I/O standards within a single bank — the EP1K30 banks are 3.3 V VCCIO but each I/O pin within a bank can be set to LVCMOS33, LVTTL33, SSTL-2, or SSTL-3; however mixing SSTL with LVCMOS in the same bank can cause signal-integrity issues at high toggle rates. (3) Quartus version incompatibility — modern Quartus Prime (20.x and later) has dropped ACEX-1K from the supported device list, so design teams must retain Quartus II 13.1 with the ACEX-1K legacy device service pack installed to recompile .bdf/.vhd files.
