Overview

The 10M04SCE144I7G is a non-volatile MAX 10 FPGA from Intel (formerly Altera) featuring 4000 logic elements in a 144-pin LQFP package. This device integrates flash memory for instant-on capability and configuration, eliminating the need for an external boot PROM while providing industrial-grade temperature support. It serves as a versatile solution for system control, interface bridging, and power sequencing applications where board space is at a premium.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is the dual-configuration flash memory which allows for fail-safe remote updates and true instant-on performance. The 144-pin LQFP package with an exposed pad provides a balance of high I/O count and manageable thermal performance without requiring complex BGA escape routing. It also includes an integrated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for system monitoring, reducing total component count.

Applications

System Management
Managing power-up sequencing, reset de-assertion, and monitoring status signals for complex multi-rail PCB designs.
I/O Expansion
Providing additional digital I/O and protocol translation between a primary processor and various peripheral devices.
Interface Bridging
Translating between different signaling standards or bus protocols such as SPI, I2C, and custom parallel interfaces.
PWM Control
Generating high-resolution pulse-width modulation signals for LED dimming or simple motor control loops.

Getting Started

Designers should use Intel Quartus Prime Lite Edition software for synthesis, place-and-route, and timing analysis. A JTAG programmer, such as the Intel FPGA Download Cable (USB-Blaster II), is required to program the internal flash. For rapid prototyping, the MAX 10 Evaluation Kit is the standard hardware platform to verify logic before board spin.
