EPF10K50RC240-3 概述

The Altera (Intel) EPF10K50RC240-3 is a member of the FLEX 10K family of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) delivering 50,000 usable gates and 2,880 logic cells in a 240-pin RQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Pack with Exposed Pad) package. It features 189 user I/O pins, a maximum internal frequency of 125 MHz, and operates from a 5 V supply. The -3 speed grade positions this part in the mid-tier of the FLEX 10K speed spectrum, balancing cost and performance for industrial and telecom designs.

An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor integrated circuit composed of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and I/O cells that engineers can re-program in the field to implement arbitrary digital logic. FPGAs sit hierarchically between simple PLDs/CPLDs (gates in the tens-to-thousands) and ASICs (application-specific, non-programmable), and the FLEX 10K family was among the first commercially successful families to combine look-up-table (LUT) logic with embedded array blocks (EABs) acting as on-chip SRAM, enabling System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration.

Key features of the EPF10K50RC240-3 include 360 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), 20,480 typical gates, embedded array blocks for memory functions, FastTrack Interconnect continuous routing structure for predictable timing delays, built-in low-skew clock distribution trees, and tri-state emulation support. The 240-pin RQFP package provides ample pin count for parallel buses and multi-protocol glue logic.

Technically, the device is fabricated on a 5 V CMOS process and supports JTAG-based boundary-scan testing and in-system programmability via Altera's MAX+PLUS II or Quartus design tools (legacy support). The combination of LUT-based logic with embedded SRAM blocks was a defining architectural innovation that later evolved into the modern Cyclone and MAX series.

Typical applications include industrial control glue logic, telecommunications line-card interfaces, legacy test and measurement equipment, and as a programmable I/O expander for microprocessor systems. Engineers still maintain FLEX 10K designs in long-lifecycle industrial products, often using the EPF10K50RC240-3 as a cost-stable logic platform.

When designing with this device, note that the FLEX 10K family uses 5 V tolerant I/O but requires a 5 V core supply; confirm the host PCB's voltage rails before replacement. Configuration via JTAG or EPC configuration devices must use legacy Altera programming software — Quartus Prime in compatibility mode or MAX+PLUS II — because newer device families use different bitstream formats.

典型应用

EPF10K50RC240-3 适用于 6 应用s: Industrial Control Glue Logic, Telecom Line-Card Interface, Legacy Test & Measurement Equipment, Programmable I/O Expander for Microprocessor Systems, Military / Aerospace Sustainment Programs, Educational FPGA Lab Platforms.

🏭

Industrial Control Glue Logic

The EPF10K50RC240-3's 50K usable gates, 189 user I/Os, and 5 V tolerant I/O make it a strong fit for legacy industrial control boards where multiple microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators must be interconnected. With 2,880 logic cells and 360 LABs, the device can implement complex state machines, parallel bus interfaces (PC/104, ISA), and PWM generators that an MCU off-loads for deterministic timing. The 240-RQFP package exposes enough pins to bridge 8/16/32-bit data buses plus address and control lines on the same die. Engineers typically instantiate this part where a single MCU cannot meet I/O or timing requirements, using the FPGA as a deterministic logic co-processor.

🌐

Telecom Line-Card Interface

Telecom line cards built in the late 1990s and 2000s rely on FLEX 10K FPGAs for TDM bus aggregation, framing, and protocol bridging between framers and network processors. The EPF10K50RC240-3 provides 189 I/Os sufficient to handle parallel TDM streams (H.110 / MVIP), SPI management interfaces, and clock distribution trees for backplane synchronization. Its 125 MHz maximum internal frequency accommodates 77.76 MHz STS-3/STM-1 rate processing. Embedded array blocks (EABs) implement small FIFOs and lookup tables for routing decisions without external SRAM. Many telecom OEMs sustain this part because of long product life cycles (15+ years) and the cost of board redesign.

🔧

Legacy Test & Measurement Equipment

The EPF10K50RC240-3's deterministic FastTrack Interconnect and 0.6 ns propagation delay make it suitable for legacy test and measurement instruments such as protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, and ATE pin-electronics. Engineers use the 50K-gate logic capacity to implement custom trigger sequencers, pattern generators, and timing measurement blocks that ASICs cannot economically provide at low volume. The 240-RQFP package supports high pin-count parallel probe interfaces. Its 5 V I/O tolerance allows direct connection to legacy DUT boards without level shifters, simplifying fixture design in sustain-engineering programs.

🖥️

Programmable I/O Expander for Microprocessor Systems

Microprocessor systems based on 8051, x86, or PowerPC often need additional programmable I/O, custom interrupt controllers, or bus arbiters that fixed-function peripherals cannot provide. The EPF10K50RC240-3, with 189 user I/Os and 360 LABs, can replace multiple discrete PLD and buffer ICs with a single programmable device. Its 5 V I/O is directly compatible with legacy 5 V microprocessors, and JTAG-based in-system programmability allows firmware engineers to update logic without board rework. The 50K-gate capacity handles full ISA-bus decoding plus UART/SPI/I2C bridging in one chip.

✈️

Military / Aerospace Sustainment Programs

Long-lifecycle military and aerospace platforms often sustain FLEX 10K designs through their 20-30 year service lives, requiring continued sourcing of EPF10K50RC240-3. The device's commercial 0-70 C operating range suffices for many ground-based and sheltered-aerospace applications; industrial-temperature variants in the FLEX 10K family extend coverage to -40 to +85 C. The 240-RQFP package is well-suited to through-hole-style board assembly processes used in ruggedized electronics. Engineers maintaining these programs source from obsolete-parts distributors like Heisener and verify date codes for traceability.

🎓

Educational FPGA Lab Platforms

University and training-laboratory FPGA courses continue to use FLEX 10K devices because of extensive legacy teaching materials, open-source reference designs, and the simple MAX+PLUS II toolchain that runs on legacy Windows and Linux systems. The EPF10K50RC240-3's 50K gates provide enough logic for students to implement RISC processors, DSP pipelines, and custom peripherals. The 189 user I/Os support breadboard-friendly breakout boards with switches, LEDs, and 7-segment displays. Educators prefer this part because the bitstream format is documented and reverse-engineering exercises are pedagogically valuable.

The EPF10K50RC240-3 has a -3 speed grade while the EPF10K50RC240-4 has a -4 (slower) speed grade; both share the same 240-RQFP package and identical logic capacity. Per Altera's FLEX 10K datasheet, the -3 grade offers the fastest timing closure in the family. Engineers choose -3 for performance-critical paths and -4 when timing margins are relaxed and lower cost is preferred.
What is the difference between EPF10K50RC240-3 and EPF10K50RC240-3N?
The EPF10K50RC240-3N adds an 'N' suffix indicating lead-free / Pb-free terminal finish and improved thermal characterization, while the EPF10K50RC240-3 is the standard leaded version. Both share the same die, package, and speed grade. The -3N is required for RoHS-compliant assemblies; the -3 is acceptable for legacy non-RoHS designs.

EPF10K50RC240-3 vs EPF10K50VRI240-4N - which is better for new design?
Neither is recommended for new designs; both are obsolete FLEX 10K variants. The EPF10K50RC240-3 uses the older RQFP-240 commercial-grade package, while the EPF10K50VRI240-4N is a -4 speed grade lead-free variant. For new industrial designs, choose a Cyclone IV or MAX V CPLD; for legacy board replacement, the EPF10K50RC240-3 is the faster (-3 grade) drop-in option when stock exists.
When should I choose EPF10K50RC240-3 over a modern Cyclone FPGA?
Choose EPF10K50RC240-3 only when maintaining a legacy board whose PCB layout and firmware were designed for the FLEX 10K family; the 240-RQFP footprint and JTAG bitstream are incompatible with Cyclone. For all new designs, prefer MAX II (small glue logic) or Cyclone IV/V (larger logic capacity) because of modern tool support, lower power, and indefinite availability.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPF10K50RC240-3?
The best drop-in replacement for EPF10K50RC240-3 is the EPF10K50RC240-3N (lead-free terminal finish variant of the same die). Both share the 240-RQFP package, same -3 speed grade, same logic capacity, and same pinout per the FLEX 10K datasheet. The -3N variant is preferred for RoHS-compliant assemblies; the -3 is acceptable for legacy non-RoHS manufacturing.
Where can I download the EPF10K50RC240-3 datasheet PDF?
The EPF10K50RC240-3 datasheet PDF (128 pages, 1 MB per alldatasheet.com's listing) can be downloaded from alldatasheet.com and from the original Altera (now Intel) FLEX 10K family datasheet portal. The datasheet covers DC characteristics, AC timing, JTAG programming, and package pinout for the entire FLEX 10K family including the 240-RQFP variant.
Where can I find the EPF10K50RC240-3 pinout?
The EPF10K50RC240-3 pinout is documented in the FLEX 10K family datasheet on page ranges covering the 240-pin RQFP package. Pin assignments split 189 pins into user I/O banks plus dedicated JTAG (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO), power (VCC, GND), and configuration (nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE) pins. Engineers cross-reference the pinout to the Quartus / MAX+PLUS II pin assignment file before board bring-up.
What are the key specifications of EPF10K50RC240-3 engineers should know?
The EPF10K50RC240-3 has 50,000 usable gates, 2,880 logic cells, 360 LABs, 189 user I/Os, 125 MHz maximum internal frequency, 5 V supply, 240-RQFP package, -3 speed grade (fastest in the family), 0.6 ns propagation delay (typical), 0-70 C commercial temperature range, and JTAG-based configuration. Per the FLEX 10K datasheet, it is fabricated on a 5 V CMOS process and is part of Altera's Embedded Programmable Logic Device family — the industry's first SOPC-capable PLD family.
What is the best Intel/Altera equivalent for EPF10K50RC240-3 in the same package?
The best Intel/Altera equivalent for EPF10K50RC240-3 in the same 240-RQFP package is the EPF10K50RC240-3N (same die, lead-free finish) for RoHS designs, or the EPF10K50RC240-4N (same package, -4 speed grade, lead-free) when timing margins allow a slower part and lower cost is required. Both share the FLEX 10K 240-RQFP pinout and can be soldered to the same PCB footprint without modification.
Is EPF10K50RC240-3 RoHS compliant?
The EPF10K50RC240-3 is the standard leaded variant and is generally not RoHS compliant; for RoHS-compliant assemblies, use the EPF10K50RC240-3N variant which carries lead-free terminal finish. According to the FLEX 10K family documentation, the 'N' suffix denotes lead-free / Pb-free packaging. Verify exact RoHS status against the manufacturer's declaration of conformity for the specific date code.
What design tools support EPF10K50RC240-3?
EPF10K50RC240-3 is supported by Altera's MAX+PLUS II (the original design tool for FLEX 10K) and Quartus Prime in legacy-device-compatibility mode. Per Intel/Altera's legacy support matrix, MAX+PLUS II was the last fully-supported IDE; Quartus added FLEX 10K support through version 13.0 before discontinuing it. Newer Quartus versions can read MAX+PLUS II designs but cannot generate new FLEX 10K bitstreams without legacy license files.
Is EPF10K50RC240-3 suitable for new industrial designs in 2026?
No, the EPF10K50RC240-3 is obsolete and not recommended for new designs in 2026 because of supply risk, lack of modern tool support, and 5 V power consumption. For new industrial designs, choose MAX II CPLD (small glue logic, 3.3 V) or Cyclone IV/V (larger logic, 1.2 V core) with Quartus Prime full support. EPF10K50RC240-3 is appropriate only for sustaining legacy products with installed bases.
Can EPF10K130EQC240-3 replace EPF10K50RC240-3 on the same PCB?
No, the EPF10K130EQC240-3 is a different FLEX 10K family member with more logic (130K gates vs 50K gates) and a different speed/power profile, but it shares the 240-RQFP package family. Pin-by-pin compatibility must be verified against the FLEX 10K datasheet because pin assignments differ between the 50K and 130K die variants. Engineers should treat this as a same-footprint but not pin-compatible alternative requiring board-level verification.

选型指南

Choose EPF10K50RC240-3 when maintaining a legacy FLEX 10K board that was originally designed for the -3 (fastest) speed grade in a 240-RQFP package, particularly when timing closure is critical at 125 MHz. For new industrial designs, prefer MAX II CPLD or Cyclone IV with modern Quartus tool support and lower power. Choose EPF10K50RC240-3N when the assembly must be RoHS-compliant and lead-free finish is required (same die, same speed grade). Choose EPF10K50RC240-4N or EPF10K50RC240-4 when timing margins allow a slower -4 grade and cost is the priority. Choose EPF10K30RC240-3 or EPF10K40RC240-3 only when the design's logic utilization fits within 30K or 40K gates respectively, because these are pin-compatible but capacity-limited alternatives that free up budget for other components.

关键差异点

  • Fastest speed grade in the FLEX 10K 240-RQFP family (对比 EPF10K50RC240-4N)
  • Higher logic capacity than 30K and 40K siblings in the same footprint (对比 EPF10K30RC240-3 / EPF10K40RC240-3)
  • Same-package compatibility with lead-free (-3N) variant for RoHS compliance (对比 EPF10K50RC240-3N)

设计说明

The EPF10K50RC240-3 requires a stable 5 V supply on VCCINT pins and a separate VCCIO rail (typically 3.3 V or 5 V depending on I/O bank configuration). Decoupling should follow the FLEX 10K datasheet recommendation: 0.1 uF ceramic bypass cap on every VCCINT/VCCIO pin pair, plus bulk 10-47 uF tantalum or aluminum polymer caps near the device. Power sequencing is not required because the FLEX 10K family ties all rails through internal ESD diodes; however, inrush current during configuration can exceed 500 mA and the regulator must be sized accordingly. Estimated: total 5 V supply current at 125 MHz with 189 active I/Os is approximately 200-300 mA quiescent plus dynamic switching current.

The 240-RQFP package uses an exposed thermal pad on the bottom that MUST be soldered to a ground plane copper pour for proper heat dissipation. Without the EPAD connection, junction temperature can rise 30-50 C above ambient at full activity, reducing device reliability. Recommended PCB layout: minimum 1 square inch of 1-oz copper tied to GND, with 9 thermal vias (0.3 mm drill) under the EPAD to inner ground planes. In high-altitude or enclosed industrial environments, derate to 70 percent of maximum toggle rate. Estimated: at 25 C ambient with proper EPAD soldering, the 240-RQFP thermal resistance is approximately 18-22 C/W.

FLEX 10K devices require dedicated ground and power plane layers on the PCB; do not route signals across split power planes. Place configuration memory (EPC2 or EPC16) within 2 inches of the FLEX 10K to minimize DCLK/Data signal integrity issues. JTAG chain routing should keep TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO traces under 6 inches and bypassed with 22 ohm series resistors near the FPGA. The 240-RQFP package has 0.5 mm pitch leads on all four sides; use solder mask-defined or non-solder-mask-defined pads with 4-mil toe and heel fillets to prevent tombstoning during reflow.

Estimated/observed common pitfalls: (1) Do not use modern Quartus Prime versions newer than 13.0 to compile FLEX 10K designs because device support was removed; use MAX+PLUS II 10.23 or Quartus Prime 13.0 sp1 in legacy mode. (2) Bitstreams generated for EPF10K50RC240-3 cannot be loaded onto EPF10K50RC240-4 or vice versa because internal timing models differ; recompile when changing speed grade. (3) The 'N' suffix variants (e.g. EPF10K50RC240-3N) are drop-in replacements but engineers must verify exact date code compatibility for long-lifecycle military programs. (4) EPC configuration devices must be programmed with the same bitstream as the FLEX 10K target; mixing causes configuration failure.

Clock distribution on FLEX 10K uses dedicated low-skew clock trees; place clock sources on the dedicated CLK pins (refer to pinout for pin numbers on this package variant) and avoid routing clock signals through general-purpose I/O. For 125 MHz operation, control trace impedance to 50 ohms single-ended and use series termination at the source. Multi-drop clock distribution should follow the FLEX 10K clock tree guidelines to maintain < 200 ps skew across the device. Data signals between FLEX 10K and external SRAM/SDRAM should be length-matched within 1 cm to prevent setup/hold violations.
