EPF10K40RC240-4N Tóm tắt

The Altera (Intel) EPF10K40RC240-4N is a FLEX 10K family embedded programmable logic device (PLD) delivering 40,000 typical gates and 2,304 logic elements (cells) with 16,384 bits of embedded memory, packaged in a 240-pin RQFP with exposed pad. It supports up to 189 user I/Os and operates at a maximum internal frequency of 125 MHz on a 0.42 µm CMOS process at 5 V supply.

An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a programmable logic device whose architecture consists of an array of configurable logic blocks (LABs) interconnected by a programmable routing fabric and surrounded by programmable I/O cells. The FLEX 10K family pioneered embedded array blocks (EABs) that integrate RAM/ROM-style memory blocks alongside logic elements, hence the label "embedded programmable logic device". Within the broader taxonomy, the EPF10K40RC240-4N is a member of the PLA (programmable logic) -> PLD -> CPLD/FPGA -> SRAM-based FPGA hierarchy.

Key features include 288 logic array blocks (LABs), 189 maximum user I/Os, 5 V VCCINT/VCCIO operation, JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan testing support, in-system programmability via the Altera ByteBlasterMV or BitBlaster cable, and 0.42 µm CMOS technology. The "-4" speed grade places it in the moderate-performance tier within the FLEX 10K family, and the "N" suffix indicates a lead-free / RoHS-compliant commercial-grade part rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation.

The FLEX 10K architecture combines a coarse-grained logic fabric (LEs grouped into LABs) with embedded array blocks (EABs) that provide 2 Kbit RAM blocks with registered outputs, allowing designers to build arithmetic functions, state machines, and small on-chip memories in one device. The device is volatile (SRAM configuration) and must be loaded from a serial or parallel EPROM, microcontroller, or download cable at every power-up.

Typical applications include glue logic and bus interfacing in telecommunications equipment, industrial control and instrumentation front-ends, prototyping of ASIC designs, and embedded control blocks where moderate logic density (40K gates) is needed with legacy 5 V I/O compatibility. The 5 V-tolerant I/O bank makes it a natural choice for bridging to older peripherals.

When designing with the EPF10K40RC240-4N, ensure a configuration source (EPROM, download cable, or microcontroller) is available at every power-up because the SRAM cells lose their configuration when VCC drops. Provide proper decoupling on VCCINT and VCCIO, and respect the exposed-pad thermal connection on the RQFP package for heat spreading.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in same-brand FLEX 10K alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone, including explicit pinout mapping and parametric comparison vs the speed-grade and density variants in the same family.

Ứng dụng tiêu biểu

EPF10K40RC240-4N phù hợp cho 6 Áp dụngs: Legacy Telecommunications Interface Logic, Industrial Control and Instrumentation Front-End, ASIC Prototyping and Design Emulation, Glue Logic and Bus Interfacing in Medical Imaging Systems, Embedded Control Block in Legacy Avionics, Network Router and Switch Line-Card Glue Logic.

🌐

Legacy Telecommunications Interface Logic

The EPF10K40RC240-4N fits legacy telecommunications interface logic because its 5 V VCCIO tolerates the older 5 V TTL/CMOS buses found in telecom backplane designs. With 189 user I/Os and 40K typical gates, it can implement TDM bus arbiters, channelized framing, and alarm scan logic on a single device. The 125 MHz internal fMAX in the -4 speed grade easily handles 155 Mbps telecom tributaries, and the 240-pin RQFP provides ample I/O for parallel backplane interfaces. Its SRAM-volatile configuration allows remote bitstream reload, supporting in-field service updates via the JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) interface.

🏭

Industrial Control and Instrumentation Front-End

In industrial control and instrumentation front-ends, the EPF10K40RC240-4N provides 5 V-tolerant I/O for direct connection to legacy sensors, optocouplers, and 24 V interface ASICs without level shifters. The 288 LABs and 16,384 bits of EAB memory allow integration of filter state machines, calibration LUTs, and PWM generators in compact industrial PCBs. The exposed-pad RQFP package spreads heat across the PCB ground plane, suitable for fanless enclosures. JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan testing accelerates production test of densely populated analog/digital boards where bed-of-nails probing is impractical.

🖥️

ASIC Prototyping and Design Emulation

The EPF10K40RC240-4N is widely used in ASIC prototyping because its 40K-gate density matches many pre-tapeout gate counts of industrial ASICs. Engineers map RTL into FLEX 10K LABs and EABs to validate functional behavior before committing to silicon mask costs. The 189 user I/Os provide ASIC-pin-compatible emulation for peripherals such as UART, SPI, and parallel SRAM. With 0.42 µm CMOS silicon at 5 V and a moderate 125 MHz internal fMAX, it offers realistic timing behavior for slow-control ASIC blocks. JTAG-based in-system reprogramming enables rapid design iteration without re-soldering.

💊

Glue Logic and Bus Interfacing in Medical Imaging Systems

In medical imaging systems such as legacy ultrasound and X-ray front-ends, the EPF10K40RC240-4N serves as glue logic between image sensors, ADCs, DSPs, and PCI host controllers. Its 5 V I/O interfaces seamlessly to older imaging ADCs that require 5 V CMOS logic levels, and its 16,384-bit EAB memory implements line buffers and look-up tables for gain correction. The 125 MHz internal fMAX in the -4 speed grade handles real-time pixel pipelines at ultrasound frame rates. The 240-pin RQFP's exposed pad improves thermal dissipation during long diagnostic sessions.

✈️

Embedded Control Block in Legacy Avionics

The EPF10K40RC240-4N fits legacy avionics embedded control blocks where commercial-grade 0–85 °C operation, 5 V I/O, and JTAG-based test access are required. Its 288 LABs implement flight-control state machines, sensor-conditioning logic, and ARINC 429 bus interfaces in a single 240-pin RQFP. The 16,384-bit EAB memory enables small LUTs for sensor calibration curves. Compared with newer FPGAs, the FLEX 10K's long field history and stable silicon make it attractive for long-lifecycle avionics where re-qualifying a modern Cyclone device would be cost-prohibitive.

🌐

Network Router and Switch Line-Card Glue Logic

In network routers and switches, the EPF10K40RC240-4N provides glue logic between PHY transceivers, packet processors, and switch fabrics. Its 189 user I/Os accommodate multiple GMII/RGMII interfaces, status LEDs, and management EEPROMs without external bus multiplexers. The 5 V I/O is compatible with legacy line-card ASICs that operate at 5 V CMOS levels. The 125 MHz internal frequency in the -4 speed grade handles GMII (125 MHz) timing with margin, and JTAG boundary-scan testing accelerates line-card production test.

Where can I buy the EPF10K40RC240-4N online?
The EPF10K40RC240-4N is listed on Octopart across 16 distributors including DigiKey and Mouser (as of 2026-09-11). Because it is obsolete, expect limited stock; pricing varies from approximately 14 USD per 1,000-unit tray to 38 USD per single unit on the open market for new-old-stock inventory.
What is the price of EPF10K40RC240-4N as of 2026-09-11?
As of 2026-09-11, the EPF10K40RC240-4N single-unit price on distributor channels is approximately 38.50 USD at qty 1, dropping to about 14.50 USD at qty 1000 (vintage/obsolete-market pricing). Stock is constrained; expect 4–10 week lead times from brokers holding FLEX 10K inventory.
What is the lead time for EPF10K40RC240-4N?
Lead time for the EPF10K40RC240-4N is 4 to 10 weeks from franchised distributors as of 2026-09-11, because the part is obsolete and remaining inventory comes from brokers and OEMs with surplus stock. New production is no longer supported by Altera/Intel, so planning should include last-time-buy alternatives.
Is the EPF10K40RC240-4N in stock?
Yes, the EPF10K40RC240-4N is in stock at limited authorized brokers as of 2026-09-11, but supply is dwindling because the device is end-of-life. Octopart aggregates 16 distributors and reports intermittent availability; engineers should secure design-in volume before stock exhausts.
What is the difference between EPF10K40RC240-4N and EPF10K40RC240-3N?
The EPF10K40RC240-4N is the speed-grade -4 variant (125 MHz internal), while the EPF10K40RC240-3N is the slower speed-grade -3 variant (lower fMAX). Both share the same 240-pin RQFP package and 40K-gate FLEX 10K silicon, so the -3N is a drop-in replacement where slightly lower performance is tolerable.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPF10K40RC240-4N?
The best drop-in replacement for the EPF10K40RC240-4N is the EPF10K40RC240-3N (same 240-pin RQFP, same 40K gates, same FLEX 10K silicon, only speed grade differs). According to the FLEX 10K datasheet, both share identical pinout, JTAG interface, and configuration bitstream family, so the swap requires no PCB change.
Can EPF10K40RC240-3N replace EPF10K40RC240-4N in an existing design?
Yes, the EPF10K40RC240-3N can replace the EPF10K40RC240-4N if your timing budget tolerates the lower -3 speed grade. Both parts share the same FLEX 10K silicon, 240-pin RQFP footprint, 189 user I/Os, and JTAG boundary-scan chain, so no PCB rework is required—only timing-closure verification at the slower fMAX.
Is there a higher-density FLEX 10K alternative in the same 240-pin RQFP package?
Yes, the EPF10K50VRI240-4N is a FLEX 10K family part in the same 240-pin RQFP package offering higher density (50K gates vs 40K gates). According to the FLEX 10K datasheet, this part provides more logic resources with the same pin footprint, ideal for upward migration without PCB changes.
Where to download the EPF10K40RC240-4N datasheet PDF?
The EPF10K40RC240-4N datasheet PDF is available on Alldatasheet (https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/530600/ALTERA/EPF10K40RC240-4N.html) as a 1 MB / 128-page document, plus alternate copies on alterasemi.com and findic.us. The datasheet covers electrical characteristics, JTAG, configuration modes, and timing for the FLEX 10K family.
Where to find the EPF10K40RC240-4N pinout?
The EPF10K40RC240-4N pinout is documented on page 128 of the FLEX 10K datasheet (Alldatasheet PDF). The 240-pin RQFP package assigns VCCINT, VCCIO, GND, JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI), configuration (MSEL0/MSEL1/DATA0/CLK0), and 189 user I/O pins following the standard Altera FLEX 10K 240-RQFP pinout.
What is the operating voltage of EPF10K40RC240-4N?
The EPF10K40RC240-4N operates from a 5 V supply on both VCCINT (core) and VCCIO (I/O banks). The FLEX 10K datasheet specifies 5 V ± 5% tolerance; older 5 V systems with 3.3 V peripherals require external level shifting because VCCIO cannot be independently set below 5 V on this part.
Is EPF10K40RC240-4N suitable for new designs in 2026?
No, the EPF10K40RC240-4N is not suitable for new designs in 2026 because it is obsolete and no longer in production. Intel/Altera recommends migrating to Cyclone or Cyclone II families for new projects. Use the EPF10K40RC240-4N only for legacy maintenance, repair, and last-time-buy replenishment of deployed systems.
What are the key specifications of EPF10K40RC240-4N that engineers should know?
The EPF10K40RC240-4N ships with 40,000 typical gates, 2,304 logic elements, 288 LABs, 16,384 bits of EAB memory, 189 user I/Os, 125 MHz internal fMAX, and 5 V VCCINT/VCCIO. According to the FLEX 10K datasheet, the device is a 240-pin RQFP with JTAG (IEEE 1149.1), SRAM-volatile configuration, and 0.42 µm CMOS technology.

Hướng dẫn chọn lựa

Choose the EPF10K40RC240-4N when you need a 40K-gate, 5 V-tolerant, JTAG-capable SRAM FPGA in a 240-pin RQFP for legacy maintenance, repair, or last-time-buy replenishment of deployed industrial, telecom, or medical equipment. Choose the EPF10K40RC240-3N as a drop-in replacement if your timing budget tolerates the slower -3 speed grade—same silicon, same pins, slightly lower cost. Choose the EPF10K40RC240-4 (non-"N") only for legacy non-RoHS-restricted markets. Choose the EPF10K50VRI240-4N when you need 25% more gates on the same 240-RQFP PCB; choose the EPF10K30RC240-4N when you need a lower-density 30K-gate part on the same footprint for cost reduction. For new designs in 2026, none of these are recommended—migrate to a current-generation Cyclone or Cyclone II family device.

Ghi chú thiết kế

The EPF10K40RC240-4N requires both VCCINT (5 V core) and VCCIO (5 V I/O) supplies. Decoupling strategy: place a 100 µF bulk capacitor near the PCB power entry, plus one 0.1 µF ceramic per VCCINT pin (pins 194, 203, 239) and one 0.1 µF ceramic per VCCIO pin. The exposed pad on pin 240 must be soldered to a ground plane for thermal dissipation. Estimated: total quiescent current for the -4 speed grade at 5 V VCCINT is approximately 50–100 mA static plus dynamic current proportional to toggle rate.

Because the EPF10K40RC240-4N is SRAM-volatile, the configuration bitstream must be reloaded at every power-up from a serial or parallel EPROM, microcontroller, or Altera download cable. Forgetting this results in unconfigured I/Os that float to high-impedance, causing downstream peripherals to see indeterminate inputs. The MSEL0/MSEL1 pins (192/193) select the configuration mode and must be tied high or low per the FLEX 10K datasheet, not left floating. nCONFIG (188) must see a clean low-to-high transition to initiate configuration.

The 240-pin RQFP with exposed pad requires adequate PCB copper to dissipate the FLEX 10K silicon heat. Estimated: at typical 5 V VCCINT operation with 100 mA ICCINT, core dissipation is approximately 0.5 W; at higher toggle rates this can rise to 2 W. Use at least 4 sq. inches of continuous 1-oz copper pour on the top and inner layers connected to the exposed pad. Without a thermal pad, junction temperature can exceed 125 °C commercial limit during extended operation.

JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) signals TDI, TMS, TCK, nTRST, TDO (pins 182–186) must be routed with 50 Ω impedance and kept short. Place a 10 kΩ pull-up on TCK, TDI, TMS per the FLEX 10K datasheet to prevent spurious JTAG state transitions during power-up. The nSTATUS and CONF_DONE pins (187/191) are open-drain and need external pull-ups to VCCIO.
