Product Overview
The EPF10K50RC240-3N is a high-density FPGA from Altera’s classic FLEX 10K series (now Intel PSG). Equipped with 2,880 logic elements, 20,480-bit embedded RAM and up to 116,000 maximum gates, it efficiently runs complex logic and digital signal processing. Supporting 5V/3.3V multi-voltage I/O with 4.75–5.25V core voltage, this lead-free 240-pin thermally enhanced RQFP fits legacy equipment, industrial control, embedded computing and precision instrumentation.
Core Advantages
Flexible Embedded Array Architecture
Dedicated EAB blocks implement memory, DSP arithmetic and custom lookup tables directly on hardware to boost routing efficiency.
MultiVolt Mixed I/O Support
Dual 5V/3.3V signal buffers eliminate extra level-shifting chips for multi-voltage circuit boards.
Stable Fast Timing Performance
Uniform FastTrack routing delivers predictable signal delays, simplifying design simulation and timing closure.
Thermally Optimized Packaging
Built-in copper heat spreader on R suffix package improves heat dissipation under high-speed continuous operation.
