16 years agoACEX1K chips obsolete?
Hello, Our company is still using ACEX1K EP1K100QC208 chips. We are a bit worried that these chips will go or are already have gone obsolete. Are these chips still in production? Anyone has any...

14 years agoIf you are still looking for an ACEX1K development board, here are a couple of options.
The (now obsolete and soon-to-be-discontinued) FTDI/DLP Morph-IC board has an FT2232C and an ACEX1K FPGA. http://www.dlpdesign.com/fpga/morphic.shtml Mouser has these boards in stock: http://www.mouser.com/productdetail/ftdi/morph-ic-1k-blk/?qs=sgaepimzzmuvjc7vq%252bml5zjbddcilvze I have one of these boards. I wrote a programmer and an FT2232 FIFO to FPGA interface. I can give you that code if you get one of these boards. The problem with the Morph-IC, is that it has a small ACEX1K device on it. The device is a EP1K10TC100-3, with 576 LEs, which is around the number of LEs as the MAX II EPM570 device (which is a more useful device for this amount of LEs, in that the MAX II configuration is non-volatile). Today I stumbled upon this ACEX1K board, the EZ1KUSB; http://www.easyfpga.com/ http://www.easyfpga.com/ez1kusb_config.htm This board can be ordered with larger devices, so might be more useful for your testing.
