EP20K1000CB652C8

The EP20K1000CB652C8 is a high-density APEX-20KC series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 652-ball BGA package. It integrates a MultiCore architecture with LUT-based logic and embedded memory blocks to support register-intensive logic and on-chip memory functions.

Designed for commercial-grade applications, this device targets systems that require large logic capacity, substantial embedded RAM, and abundant I/O for high‑speed interfaces and memory subsystems.

Key Features

• Core Logic Up to 38,400 logic elements and approximately 1,772,000 system gates for high-density logic integration.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 0.33 Mbits of embedded memory (327,680 bits) implemented as Embedded System Blocks (ESBs) for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAM-like functions.
• I/O Density and Standards 488 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V interfaces and support for a wide range of advanced I/O signaling options.
• Clock Management Up to four PLLs with a built-in low-skew clock tree, up to eight global clock signals, and features for phase/delay adjustment and clock multiplication/division.
• Advanced Interconnect Copper interconnect with a four-level FastTrack® hierarchical interconnect structure, dedicated carry and cascade chains, and interleaved local interconnect for predictable, fast routing.
• Power and Supply Core voltage supply specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V (internal supply VCCINT 1.8 V). ESBs include programmable power-saving modes.
• Package and Mounting 652‑BGA (45 × 45 mm) surface-mount package suitable for compact board designs.
• Operating Range and Grade Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards & Interfaces Built-in support for high-speed memory interfaces (including DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM), PCI 3.3 V operation per PCI Local Bus Specification Rev. 2.2, and LVDS channels for high-speed serial signaling.
• Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑performance embedded systems — Large logic capacity and integrated memory make this FPGA suitable for control and processing tasks where on-chip resources reduce external component count.
• Memory interface controllers — Native support for DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM interfaces and ESBs for FIFO implementation simplify buffering and memory arbitration designs.
• High‑speed I/O and bridging — 488 user I/Os, LVDS channel support, and MultiVolt I/O enable protocol bridging and high-speed data paths between heterogeneous subsystems.
• Custom logic and signal processing — Dedicated carry and cascade chains accelerate arithmetic and wide combinatorial functions commonly used in DSP and control logic.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 38,400 logic elements and approximately 1.77 million gates provide significant on-chip capacity for complex designs, reducing the need for multiple devices.
• Substantial embedded RAM: 327,680 bits of ESB memory enable on-chip FIFOs and data buffering, simplifying board-level memory management.
• Flexible I/O strategy: 488 I/Os with MultiVolt support allow direct interfacing to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V domains without extensive level-shifting circuitry.
• Robust clocking resources: Up to four PLLs and multiple clock‑management features allow designers to implement low-skew, multi-domain clocking and perform clock multiplication/division on-chip.
• Predictable, high-performance routing: Copper interconnect and a hierarchical FastTrack interconnect structure offer predictable timing and efficient place-and-route results.
• Compact packaging: 652‑BGA (45 × 45) surface-mount package balances I/O density and board-area efficiency for space-constrained designs.
