Overview

The 10M50DAF256C8G is a high-density Intel MAX 10 FPGA featuring 50,000 logic elements and integrated dual-configuration flash memory. This device provides 1.67 Mbits of total RAM and 178 I/O pins in a compact 256-FBGA package, operating on a 1.2V core voltage.

Why Choose This Part

This FPGA offers a unique non-volatile single-chip solution by integrating flash memory, reducing BOM cost and board space compared to SRAM-based FPGAs. It features 3,125 Logic Array Blocks and support for instant-on capability, making it ideal for system monitoring and control-plane applications.

Applications

Industrial System Controller
Managing complex motor control loops and industrial Ethernet protocols with low-latency hardware logic.
Embedded Vision Processing
Handling real-time image filtering and sensor fusion tasks at the edge before data is sent to a host processor.
Power Conversion Control
Implementing high-speed PWM generation and multi-phase switching control for power electronics.

Getting Started

Designers should use the Intel Quartus Prime Lite Edition software for synthesis and place-and-route. For hardware evaluation, the EK-10M50-A MAX 10 Development Kit provides a comprehensive platform to test the 50k LE device features and I/O capabilities.

Also Consider

Spartan-7 XC7S50 AMD Xilinx - A comparable 50k logic element FPGA optimized for low cost and high I/O performance in the 7-series architecture.
MachXO3LF-6900 Lattice Semiconductor - Suggested for lower power consumption requirements in a similar 256-ball BGA footprint, though with fewer logic resources.
