Mfr. Part

EP1K100QI208-3N

Manufacturer

Altera (Intel). Y-IC is a quality distributor for Altera (Intel). We deliver original, traceable parts and provide the best products and services to our customers.

Detailed Description

Legacy Altera ACEX 1K series FPGA class device, 208-pin QFP package, speed grade -3, industrial temperature grade, Pb‑free RoHS variant (suffix N). Category: Integrated Circuits (ICs). Subcategory: Specialized ICs and programmable logic. Suitable for maintaining and upgrading legacy systems that were designed around ACEX 1K devices.

Key Features

ACEX 1K family FPGA architecture for flexible logic implementation

SRAM-based configuration, supports in-system programmability

JTAG boundary-scan and standard Altera configuration methodologies

Industrial temperature grade variant for extended environment usage

208-pin QFP package for through-PCB perimeter lead access and easy probing

Pb-free RoHS-compliant variant (N suffix)

Broad third-party tool and legacy Quartus support for maintenance of existing designs

Multiple speed grades available in the family (this unit: -3 speed grade)

Key Advantages

Mature, proven platform for sustaining legacy production

Stable supply path via Y-IC for EOL and hard-to-find parts

Industrial temperature capability supports harsh environments

QFP package simplifies rework and inspection compared to fine-pitch BGAs

Low risk path to keep existing boards in production without redesign

Packaging

Type: QFP208 (Quad Flat Package, 208 leads)

Body material: Molded epoxy plastic, Pb-free plating on leads for RoHS compliance

Pin configuration: 4-sided gull-wing leads, 208 total pins with perimeter I/O and power/ground distribution; exact pinout per official pin tables

Size: Standard 208-pin QFP footprint; refer to the datasheet mechanical drawing for exact body size, pitch, and standoff

Thermal characteristics: Conduction and convection dependent; actual theta values depend on PCB and airflow. Follow datasheet thermal guidance, provide adequate copper area and airflow for power dissipation

Electrical properties: SRAM-based core requiring configuration at power-up; I/O banks support common LVTTL/LVCMOS levels typical for the ACEX 1K family. Confirm supported I/O standards, core and I/O voltages, and configuration currents in the datasheet

Moisture sensitivity: Classified per JEDEC MSL. Handle and bake per the label. Confirm exact MSL on the reel or bag label

Shipment format: Typically tape-and-reel or tray for QFP devices; confirm with Y-IC when placing order

Lifecycle

Status: Legacy product family. Generally considered NRND or EOL by the manufacturer. Availability is limited and best supported via authorized and quality distributors like Y-IC

Nearing discontinuation: Yes, plan for lifecycle risk

Direct family alternatives and variants for consideration

- EP1K100QI208-2N or EP1K100QI208-2 (different speed grade in same package)

- EP1K100QC208-3N or EP1K100QC208-3 (commercial temperature in the same 208-pin QFP)

- EP1K100QC240-3N or EP1K100QC240-3 (240-pin QFP package variant of the same density)

- Note: Verify pin compatibility, temperature grade, and timing differences before substitution

Migration alternatives from newer families

- Intel Cyclone series (for example Cyclone III, IV, V) as functional replacements in new designs

- MAX 10 for lower power single-chip solutions where appropriate

- Important: Newer families are not pin-compatible. Board and firmware changes are required
