EP1K50FC484-3N

EP1K50FC484-3N is a type of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), which is a reconfigurable integrated circuit. It enables users to reprogram the integrated circuit in order to maximize its performance for different purposes, as opposed to its predecessors where users could only use it for a fixed set of functions. EP1K50FC484-3N is manufactured by Altera, a subsidiary of Intel and is an entry-level FPGA device. It is also capable of embedding lots of logic devices, including microcontrollers, memory and other components.

Application field

EP1K50FC484-3N is a versatile FPGA which makes it suited for a broad range of embedded and industrial applications. It can be used in applications where high-speed data processing is needed, including image and video processing, high-end security encryption, automation and robotics. Moreover, it is also suitable for automotive and robotic sensing systems due to its low power requirements and low cost. It can also be used in wireless communication systems, including the wireless local area networks (WLAN), radio frequency identification (RFID), microwave links, and satellite communications. The FPGA is also popular in medical imaging and testing, control systems, instrumentation, scientific research and space exploration.

Working principle

EP1K50FC484-3N is a type of programmable logic using a set of programmable logic cells which are interconnected by loadable interconnects. It is designed to enable developers to create custom digital integrated circuits quickly and easily. This FPGA contains two essential components - logic elements and programmable interconnects. The logic elements, also known as logic blocks, are small pieces of logic used to build logic functions like AND and OR gates, or multiplexers. The programmable interconnects are used to route the signals between the logic elements. This enables developers to quickly reconfigure functions on the FPGA through software.

EP1K50FC484-3N FPGA is paired with Altera\'s Quartus II design software. The software is used to design and simulate the circuit, and to configure the FPGA by downloading the design code in the FPGA. The software also allows the users to debug, validate and verify the designs. Furthermore, the device comes with an integrated Power Saver feature, which allows users to reduce the power consumption of their designs. The device also supports up to 32 KBytes of RAM, making it a versatile and multi-functional solution for embedded and industrial applications.
