EP20K1000CB652C8ES

The EP20K1000CB652C8ES is an APEX-20KC family field programmable gate array (FPGA) offering a high-density MultiCore architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic with embedded memory blocks. It provides 38,400 logic elements and approximately 0.328 Mbits of embedded RAM to support complex programmable logic and memory-centric functions.

Designed for applications requiring abundant I/O and flexible clocking, this device delivers up to 488 user I/O pins, a 652-BGA (45×45) package, and low-voltage operation with an internal supply around 1.8 V (specified supply range 1.71 V to 1.89 V). The commercial-grade part supports operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic Core  38,400 logic elements and up to 1,772,000 system gates for high-density logic integration.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 327,680 RAM bits available as embedded system blocks (ESBs) for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAM implementations.
• MultiCore Architecture  Integrated LUT logic and embedded memory for register-intensive and memory functions without reducing available logic.
• Advanced Process and Interconnect  Manufactured on a 0.15‑µm all-layer copper-metal process with a four-level FastTrack® interconnect structure for predictable, high-performance routing.
• Flexible Clocking  Up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs) with features including ClockLock, ClockBoost, and ClockShift for phase, multiplication/division, and skew control.
• High-Performance I/O  488 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O support (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V) and support for advanced standards including LVDS (16 input and 16 output LVDS channels at 840 Mbps).
• Memory and Bus Support  Designed to interface with high-speed external memories (DDR SDRAM, ZBT SRAM) and compatible with PCI 2.2 signaling for 3.3-V operation.
• Low-Power Design  1.8-V internal supply and copper interconnects reduce power consumption; ESBs include programmable power-saving modes.
• Dedicated Arithmetic and Cascade Chains  Built-in carry and cascade chains accelerate adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic without manual routing.
• Package and Thermal  652‑BGA (45×45) surface-mount package; commercial operating range 0 °C to 85 °C.

Typical Applications

• Networking and Telecom  High I/O count, LVDS channels, and memory interface support make this device suitable for packet processing, line cards, and protocol bridging.
• Memory and Storage Interfaces  Direct support for DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM enables implementation of high-speed memory controllers and buffering logic.
• Custom Hardware Acceleration  Large logic capacity and dedicated arithmetic chains enable hardware acceleration for signal processing and algorithm offload.
• PCI-Based Systems  PCI 2.2 compliant signaling for 3.3‑V operation supports bridging and I/O expansion in host-based systems.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated logic and memory: Combines 38,400 logic elements with ~0.328 Mbits of embedded RAM to consolidate functions and reduce external components.
• Flexible multi-voltage I/O: MultiVolt I/O support (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V) simplifies interfacing to a wide range of peripherals and memory devices.
• Robust clock management: Up to four PLLs and advanced clock features provide control over phase, skew, and frequency for timing-critical systems.
• High channel density: 488 user I/Os and dedicated LVDS channels support complex multi-channel designs and high-speed serial interfaces.
• Performance-oriented fabrication: 0.15‑µm copper-metal process and FastTrack interconnects deliver predictable routing and reduced power.
• Package and I/O scalability: 652‑BGA (45×45) package supports high pin-count designs while maintaining surface-mount compatibility.
