EP20K1000CB652C8N

The EP20K1000CB652C8N is an APEX-20KC series programmable logic device (PLD) in a 652-BGA (45×45) package. It combines a MultiCore architecture of look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded memory blocks to deliver a high-density, reconfigurable logic platform for commercial applications.

Targeted at designers who need on-chip memory, abundant I/O and clock-management resources, this device provides 38,400 logic elements, approximately 327,680 bits of embedded RAM, 488 user I/O pins and integrated PLLs for flexible clocking.

Key Features

• High-density logic — 38,400 logic elements (LEs) and up to 1,772,000 maximum system gates for integrating complex digital functions.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 327,680 bits of on-chip RAM that can be used without reducing available logic resources.
• Rich I/O — 488 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V and 3.3 V interfaces and programmable output slew-rate and tri-state control.
• Clock management — Up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs) plus a built-in low-skew clock tree, supporting multiple global clocks and programmable clock features.
• Copper-process performance — Manufactured with a 0.15‑µm all-layer copper-metal fabrication process and FastTrack interconnect to provide improved interconnect performance.
• I/O and interface support — Capable of supporting high-speed external memories and advanced I/O standards; direct I/O-to-local-interconnect improves timing for I/O-driven logic.
• Power and supply — Internal supply centered at 1.8 V (specified supply 1.71 V to 1.89 V); MultiVolt I/O options and ESB power-saving modes.
• Package and reliability — Surface-mount 652-BGA package (45×45) and commercial-grade operating range (0 °C to 85 °C). RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Networking & Communications — Implement protocol bridging, packet processing and interface logic that benefit from large logic count and integrated memory.
• Memory and Storage Interfaces — Support high-speed external memories such as DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM using on-chip memory and dedicated clock management.
• Custom Hardware Acceleration — Offload compute- or control-intensive tasks to reconfigurable logic using the device’s ample LEs and embedded RAM.
• High-density I/O Control — Drive complex multi-I/O subsystems and LVDS channels with programmable I/O features and direct I/O-to-local-interconnect paths.

Unique Advantages

• Large logic and memory capacity: 38,400 logic elements and approximately 327,680 RAM bits allow integration of sizeable digital subsystems on a single device, reducing external component count.
• Flexible clocking: Up to four PLLs and a low-skew clock tree give designers precise clock domain control for timing-critical designs.
• MultiVolt I/O versatility: Support for multiple I/O voltage levels simplifies board-level interfacing across 1.8 V, 2.5 V and 3.3 V domains.
• High I/O density: 488 user I/O pins in a compact 652‑BGA package support complex interconnect and peripheral integration.
• Commercial-grade, RoHS compliant: Surface-mount package and commercial temperature rating (0 °C to 85 °C) with RoHS compliance for modern assembly processes.
