The EP1K50FC484-3 is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed by Altera Corporation, which is now part of Intel Corporation. This IC belongs to the family of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). FPGAs are semiconductor devices that allow users to configure their digital logic circuits after manufacturing.
Here are the key features and an overview of the EP1K50FC484-3:
1. FPGA Technology: The EP1K50FC484-3 is based on Altera's proprietary FPGA technology, which provides flexibility, reconfigurability, and fast time-to-market for digital circuit designs.
2. Logic Capacity: The "50" in its part number indicates that this FPGA contains approximately 50,000 logic elements. Logic elements are the basic building blocks of digital circuits, and with 50,000 of them, this FPGA offers considerable resources for implementing complex designs.
3. Package Type: The "FC484" in its part number refers to the plastic ball grid array (PBGA) package. This package type ensures good thermal and electrical performance of the IC and facilitates easy prototyping and integration onto circuit boards.
4. Clock Speed: The EP1K50FC484-3 supports high-performance digital circuits with clock speeds up to 300 MHz. This allows for the design and implementation of circuits that require fast processing and response times
