AT40K20AL-1CQC

The AT40K20AL-1CQC is an SRAM-based field programmable gate array from Microchip Technology, delivered in a 160-pin BQFP (160-PQFP, 28×28 mm supplier package) surface-mount package. It provides approximately 30,000 gates and 1,024 logic elements with 8,192 bits of distributed on-chip RAM and 130 user I/Os, targeting high-performance, reconfigurable hardware tasks.

Engineered for applications that benefit from in-system reprogramming and fast embedded memory, the device is suited to DSP acceleration, multimedia processing, and custom logic offload where deterministic timing, distributed SRAM, and flexible I/O are required. Operating voltage is 3.0 V to 3.6 V with a commercial temperature grade (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — Approximately 30,000 gates and 1,024 logic elements provide a mid-range FPGA resource set for implementing arithmetic, control, and glue logic functions.
• Embedded Memory — 8,192 bits of distributed on-chip SRAM enable low-latency data storage and small FIFO or scratch-pad implementations without consuming external memory.
• I/O and Packaging — 130 user I/Os in a 160-pin BQFP (supplier package 160-PQFP, 28×28 mm) surface-mount package; programmable output drive and pin-compatible family options are part of the device lineage.
• Performance — Series-level performance characteristics include system speeds up to 100 MHz and fast 10 ns SRAM primitives as documented for the AT40KAL family.
• Reconfiguration and Cache Logic — Family features include dynamic full/partial in-system reconfiguration capability for adaptive designs and rapid algorithm updates.
• Clocking — Family architecture provides multiple global clock resources for low-skew distribution and flexible timing control.
• Power and Voltage — Device operates from 3.0 V to 3.6 V and supports surface-mount PCB assembly; series documentation indicates 3.3 V nominal operation.
• Environmental and Compliance — Commercial grade device with operating temperature range 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• DSP Acceleration — Implement FIR filters, FFTs, convolvers and other arithmetic-heavy blocks using the device’s logic, fast array multipliers, and distributed SRAM.
• Multimedia Processing — Useful for video compression/decompression pipelines, discrete-cosine transforms (DCT) and related multimedia acceleration where reconfigurable coefficients and low-latency memory help tune performance.
• Hardware Offload and Coprocessing — Acts as a coprocessor to processors for compute-intensive tasks, enabling system partitioning and deterministic hardware execution of algorithms.
• In-System Reconfigurable Designs — Partial or full logic reconfiguration supports adaptive systems and field updates without removing the device from the board.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible Embedded SRAM: 8,192 bits of distributed 10 ns SRAM enable multiple single- or dual-port memory instances for FIFOs and scratch pads without external memory cost or latency.
• Reconfigurability: Series Cache Logic and in-system reprogramming allow rapid updates to algorithms and configuration, reducing development cycles for iterative designs.
• Mid-Range Integration: The combination of ~30,000 gates and 1,024 logic elements supports substantial logic functions while keeping board-level BOM and power manageable.
• Deterministic Clocking: Multiple global clock resources provide low-skew distribution for synchronous designs and performance-sensitive datapaths.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliant: Designed for commercial applications with a 0 °C to 70 °C rating and RoHS compliance for global manufacturing.
