EP1K30FC256-3 Обзор

The Altera EP1K30FC256-3 is an ACEX 1K field-programmable gate array (FPGA) with 1,728 logic elements, 24,576 RAM bits, 30K typical gates and 171 user I/Os, housed in a 256-ball FineLine BGA (FBGA) package.\n\nAn FPGA is an integrated circuit that can be programmed after manufacturing to implement arbitrary digital logic. The ACEX 1K family belongs to the programmable-logic device hierarchy that includes FPGA subfamilies, SRAM-based programmable devices, and large-scale digital logic. The EP1K30FC256-3 sits below large FPGAs such as APEX or Cyclone families but above small CPLDs, making it suitable for medium-density glue logic, bus interfacing, and protocol conversion tasks.\n\nKey specifications from the available distributor and datasheet-index data include a 2.5V CMOS core, 2.375V to 2.625V supply range, 216 LABs, 171 user I/Os, 24,576 bits of embedded RAM, and 30K typical gates. The package is a 256-ball FineLine BGA, approximately 17 x 17 mm with 1.0 mm ball pitch. The speed grade is -3, and the same FC256 footprint is available in faster -2 and -1 speed bins.\n\nBecause the ACEX 1K device is SRAM-based programmable logic, configuration data must be loaded at power-up from an external boot source or configuration device. The EP1K30FC256-3 provides enough logic and I/O for moderate-density designs such as memory controllers, protocol bridges, industrial control state machines, and display timing generators, while its low 2.5V core voltage helps manage power in compact systems.\n\nTypical applications include legacy communications equipment, mature industrial control boards, test and measurement instruments, and FPGA education/prototyping platforms. The 256-ball package provides 171 user I/Os, allowing parallel buses and control signals to be brought out without complex multiplexing. Designers often select this device when board space is limited and a single programmable component must replace multiple discrete logic devices.\n\nWhen designing with this device, keep the core supply within the 2.375V to 2.625V range and place decoupling capacitors close to the FPGA supply balls. Since this is a legacy family, confirm current availability and configuration-device support before starting a new board design.\n\nThis page compiles verified distributor listings, datasheet download links, same-footprint speed-grade alternatives, and practical design notes so engineers can evaluate the EP1K30FC256-3 without leaving the page.

Типичное применение

EP1K30FC256-3 подходит для 6 применениеs: Glue-Logic Consolidation in Legacy Industrial Boards, Protocol Bridging and Bus Interface Conversion, Test and Measurement Instrumentation, FPGA Training and Architecture Study, Mature Communication Equipment Maintenance, Digital Control and Waveform Generation.

🏭

Glue-Logic Consolidation in Legacy Industrial Boards

The EP1K30FC256-3 provides 1,728 logic elements, 24,576 RAM bits and 171 user I/Os, making it practical to consolidate 74-series glue logic and multiple PAL/GAL devices into a single 256-ball FBGA FPGA. A legacy industrial controller often has dozens of parallel control, address, and data lines; the 171 I/Os let the FPGA capture these signals directly without external multiplexing. The 2.5V core with 2.375V to 2.625V supply tolerance fits systems that already have a regulated 2.5V rail. Because ACEX 1K is a mature family, this part is most valuable for maintaining an existing board where the configuration device and design database are already established, rather than for new high-volume production.

Protocol Bridging and Bus Interface Conversion

The EP1K30FC256-3 can implement simple protocol bridges, memory-mapped bus translators, and parallel-to-serial or serial-to-parallel conversion in mature communications equipment. Its 216 LABs provide enough registers and lookup tables for state machines, FIFO control, and CRC or parity logic, while 24,576 RAM bits can buffer small packets or serve as mailbox memory. The 171 user I/Os are sufficient to connect an 8- or 16-bit host bus, status LEDs, and a second parallel interface without adding an external bus transceiver. Because the device is configured from external flash or a download cable at power-up, designers can later update the protocol logic in the field by reloading a new FPGA image.

🔧

Test and Measurement Instrumentation

In test-and-measurement equipment, the EP1K30FC256-3 can act as an acquisition control sequencer, counter/timer block, or trigger logic engine. The 30K typical gates and 1,728 logic elements support a moderate digital control core, while the 24,576 RAM bits allow small pattern buffers. The 171 user I/Os give the FPGA enough pins to capture parallel ADC data, drive DAC/switch matrices, and communicate with an instrument controller. The -3 speed grade is adequate for clock rates in the 100MHz-class instrumentation range, but designers should verify the actual timing using the Altera ACEX 1K timing model. Because the part is legacy, this application is best for servicing existing instruments or for researcher-owned long-life test platforms.

🧩

FPGA Training and Architecture Study

The EP1K30FC256-3 is useful in university laboratories and FPGA architecture classes because it exposes a classic SRAM-based lookup-table fabric without the complexity of modern devices. Students can implement finite-state machines, seven-segment display controllers, simple ALUs, and small UART or SPI cores using 1,728 logic elements. The 256-ball FineLine BGA package is still practical for hand-built boards with controlled breakout routing, and the part is small enough to be programmed through legacy configuration chains. Because the device is no longer recommended for production, it remains inexpensive and readily available through legacy-stock channels, making it a reasonable choice for educational boards where long-term supply is not critical.

Mature Communication Equipment Maintenance

Field-repair and aftermarket support of legacy communication switches, routers, and base station controllers often requires exactly the original FPGA part or a pin-compatible drop-in. The EP1K30FC256-3 supports 171 user I/Os, which is sufficient to interface legacy TDM or parallel control buses while the internal logic performs address decoding and status monitoring. Since the ACEX 1K configuration bitstream is not automatically portable to newer FPGAs, replacing the original -3 device with an FC256 same-family speed-grade variant minimizes redesign effort. For maintenance stock, XAIPART recommends also evaluating EP1K30FC256-2N or EP1K30FC256-3N because the N suffix devices are more likely to be the later lead-free production builds.

Digital Control and Waveform Generation

The EP1K30FC256-3 can generate custom digital waveforms, PWM patterns, and repetitive state sequences using its configurable logic elements and embedded RAM. A design may use the 24,576 RAM bits as a lookup-table waveform memory and the LABs as a counter/sequencer that reads addresses at a fixed rate. The 171 I/O pins allow separate outputs for multiple channels, status signals, and host control inputs. Since ACEX 1K does not contain hard microprocessor peripherals, the FPGA is best used when a soft state-machine approach is sufficient. The -3 speed grade is adequate for moderate PWM and clocked waveform rates; for faster sequences use the -2N or -1N pin-compatible speed-grade variants on the same PCB.

What is the EP1K30FC256-3?

The EP1K30FC256-3 is an Altera ACEX 1K field-programmable gate array (FPGA) with 1,728 logic elements, 216 LABs, 24,576 RAM bits, 30K typical gates and 171 user I/Os. It is assembled in a 256-ball FineLine BGA package and uses a 2.5V CMOS core with a 2.375V to 2.625V supply range. According to the Altera ACEX 1K datasheet indexes, it is speed grade -3, making it one of the standard-performance members of the FC256 package family.

What is the core voltage of EP1K30FC256-3?

The EP1K30FC256-3 requires a core supply voltage between 2.375V and 2.625V, with a nominal 2.5V recommended for ACEX 1K operation. This 2.5V core is lower than older 3.3V FPGAs and must be supplied as a separate regulated rail. According to the product summary data from FindIC, the device is a 2.5V CMOS FPGA. Verify I/O bank voltage requirements from the full Altera ACEX 1K datasheet before connecting external interfaces.

How many I/O pins does EP1K30FC256-3 have?

The EP1K30FC256-3 provides 171 user I/O pins in its 256-ball FineLine BGA package. This count is confirmed by the DigiKey listing, which shows 171 I/O, and the Mouser listing, which also reports 171 I/Os. The remaining package balls are used for core power, I/O power, ground, configuration pins and dedicated clock pins. For exact ball assignments, consult the pin and package section of the Altera ACEX 1K datasheet.

What package is EP1K30FC256-3 available in?

The EP1K30FC256-3 is available in a 256-ball FineLine BGA (FBGA) package, commonly referred to as FC256 or 256-BGA by distributors. DigiKey describes the package as 256-BGA, while other source indexes identify it as a 17 x 17 mm, 1.0 mm pitch FineLine BGA. The FC suffix also indicates a commercial-temperature FineLine BGA variant, according to Altera naming conventions, but the exact thermal and mechanical ratings should be confirmed from the manufacturer datasheet.

What does the -3 suffix mean in EP1K30FC256-3?

The -3 suffix in EP1K30FC256-3 is the speed grade indicator. In Altera ACEX 1K ordering, lower numbers after the dash generally indicate faster speed bins, so -1 is faster than -2, and -2 is faster than -3. The -3 grade is the standard/performance bin used in the FindIC summary with a 200MHz maximum internal clock frequency indication. All FC256 speed-grade variants share the same 256-ball footprint and logic density, allowing timing closure upgrades without a new PCB layout.

Is EP1K30FC256-3 the same as EP1K30FC256-2N?

No, the EP1K30FC256-3 and EP1K30FC256-2N are not the same speed grade. The -2N part is the faster -2 speed bin and includes the N suffix, which generally indicates a lead-free finish in legacy Altera part-numbering. Both devices share the same ACEX 1K architecture, 1,728 logic elements and 256-ball FBGA footprint, so the -2N can often replace the -3 in the same socket after a timing review. According to the cross-reference search results, FC256 speed-grade variants are pin-compatible drop-in options.

Can EP1K30FC256-1 replace EP1K30FC256-3?

Yes, EP1K30FC256-1 can replace EP1K30FC256-3 in most cases because it is the same ACEX 1K FPGA in the same 256-ball FC256 footprint. The main difference is the speed grade: -1 is a faster speed bin than -3, so a design proven on the -3 part normally has more timing margin when moving to the -1 part. The reverse direction, -1 to -3, requires retiming and may fail critical paths. Verify the configuration bitstream and timing constraints before substituting one speed grade for another.

Where can I buy EP1K30FC256-3 online?

The EP1K30FC256-3 is listed by multiple online component distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, Win Source, Nantian Electronics, Origin IC and Avaq. Distribution inventory for this mature ACEX 1K part can vary, and the part may be available through broker or authorized legacy-stock channels. As of 2026-09-07, prices shown on this page are estimated placeholders because the web search snippets did not include numeric price lists. Request a quote from XAIPART or a distributor for current stock and lead time.

What is the price of EP1K30FC256-3?

Because the EP1K30FC256-3 is a legacy ACEX 1K FPGA, published pricing is often available only by quotation. As of 2026-09-07, the estimated market-level price on this page is $18.50 per unit for quantity 1, with lower unit pricing near $11.10 at quantity 1,000. These figures are placeholders for RFQ budgeting and not verified quotes from a distributor. For an exact price, use the current DigiKey, Mouser or XAIPART quote request process.

Is EP1K30FC256-3 still in stock?

The EP1K30FC256-3 appears in active distributor listings from DigiKey and Mouser, with statements such as ships today and availability shown on their product pages. However, ACEX 1K is a legacy Altera family that is not recommended for new designs, so stock can change without warning. The availability field in the structured product data is therefore set to BackOrder, meaning XAIPART treats this part as quote/order-on-request rather than guaranteed inventory. Confirm current stock from the distributor before ordering.

When should I choose EP1K30FC256-3 over EP1K30FC256-1?

Choose EP1K30FC256-3 over EP1K30FC256-1 when a design has already been verified on the -3 timing model, when the target clock rate is comfortably below the -3 maximum, or when supply-chain availability favors the -3 speed bin. The -1 part costs more performance budget but is unnecessary if your design closes timing on the slower grade. In new legacy-maintenance work, the -3 can also reduce the risk of altered I/O timing if the rest of the system was originally designed around the -3 speed grade.

Where can I download EP1K30FC256-3 datasheet PDF?

The EP1K30FC256-3 datasheet PDF can be downloaded from the Alldatasheet page at https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/527239/ALTERA/EP1K30FC256-3.html and from the direct PDF mirror at https://alterasemi.com/datasheet/alterasemi/EP1K30FC256-3.pdf. The referenced document is the Altera ACEX 1K Programmable Logic Device Family datasheet, which covers all ACEX 1K densities and speed grades. For the most current official document revision, search the Intel Programmable Solutions Group website using the ACEX 1K family name.

What are the key specifications of EP1K30FC256-3 that engineers should know?

The key specifications of the EP1K30FC256-3 are 1,728 logic elements, 216 LABs, 24,576 bits of embedded RAM, 30K typical gates and 171 user I/Os in a 256-ball FineLine BGA package. The core supply is 2.375V to 2.625V, the technology is CMOS, and the device is speed grade -3. According to the FindIC summary, the maximum internal clock frequency is indicated as 200MHz. Engineers should also confirm the exact operating temperature range and pin assignments from the Altera ACEX 1K datasheet before PCB design.

What is the best drop-in replacement for EP1K30FC256-3?

The best drop-in replacement for EP1K30FC256-3 is the EP1K30FC256-3N when a pin-for-pin same-speed replacement with lead-free finish is preferred. If faster timing is acceptable, the EP1K30FC256-2N or EP1K30FC256-1N are also drop-in replacements in the same 256-ball FC256 package. According to the cross-reference search results, FC256 speed-grade variants are direct form-fit-function alternatives. No verified cross-brand drop-in replacement appeared in the web data, so non-Altera substitutes require full pin, power and timing analysis.

Is EP1K30FC256-3 suitable for new designs?

No, the EP1K30FC256-3 is not recommended for new designs because ACEX 1K is a mature legacy FPGA family from Altera/Intel Programmable Solutions Group. New-product engineering should prefer an actively supported FPGA family such as Intel Cyclone or MAX series, or a suitable modern cross-vendor device. The EP1K30FC256-3 remains relevant for legacy board repair, replacement spares, or design re-creation where the existing PCB, configuration device and development flow are already fixed around ACEX 1K.

Справочные инженерные данные для EP1K30FC256-3 — сравнение, рекомендации по проектированию и информация о соответствии.

Руководство по выбору

Choose EP1K30FC256-3 when you are maintaining a legacy ACEX 1K design that was originally targeted at the -3 speed grade and when the system timing already closes at the -3 performance level. If you need lead-free finish while preserving the exact speed behavior, select EP1K30FC256-3N. Choose EP1K30FC256-2N or EP1K30FC256-1N when you want the same 256-ball FC256 footprint but need additional timing margin for a redesign. The EP1K30FC256-1/-1N should be selected only when timing closure on the slower grades is difficult. For a much smaller design, consider EP1K10TC144-class ACEX 1K devices, but remember that the package and pinout differ. No verified cross-brand component was found in the web data, so use caution if considering an FPGA from another vendor; verify pin compatibility, configuration voltage, and timing before replacing the EP1K30FC256-3.

Заметки по проектированию

The EP1K30FC256-3 core must be powered from a regulated 2.5V supply within 2.375V to 2.625V. Place a low-ESR ceramic capacitor network close to the VCCINT balls, using at least one 0.1uF capacitor per power ball cluster and a 10uF bulk capacitor on the board side. Estimated total transient current depends on toggle rate and configured logic, so use the Altera power-estimation spreadsheet for the ACEX 1K design to size the regulator. Avoid sharing the core rail directly with noisy 2.5V I/O or analog supplies unless there are sufficient filter stages.

The 256-ball FineLine BGA has a 1.0mm pitch and requires careful fan-out and breakout routing. Use microvias or blind/buried vias if available; otherwise use a four-layer or higher stack-up with a dedicated ground plane directly below the BGA. Keep the configuration and clock traces short, matched, and shielded from high-current switching traces. Place the programming header close to the FPGA to reduce download-cable loop area. For legacy board rework, confirm the ball-out matches the existing PCB footprint before substituting EP1K30FC256-3N, -2N or -1N.

Treat the EP1K30FC256-3 as a legacy, not-for-new-design FPGA. Before using it in a new board, confirm that an external configuration source is provided because ACEX 1K devices are SRAM-based and lose their programmed image at power-off. Also verify I/O bank voltage compatibility; the web data does not state the exact I/O supply range. If the design requires higher speed, select EP1K30FC256-2N or EP1K30FC256-1N in the same FC256 package. If an alternative non-Altera FPGA is considered, perform a complete pin, power, configuration and timing review because no verified cross-brand drop-in was found in the source data.
