EP20K1000CF33C7ES

The EP20K1000CF33C7ES is a commercial-grade APEX-20KC® field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 1020-BBGA surface-mount package. It integrates MultiCore™ architecture with LUT-based logic and embedded memory blocks to deliver high-density programmable logic for system designs that require substantial on-chip RAM and large I/O counts.

Key attributes include 38,400 logic elements, approximately 327,680 bits of embedded RAM, up to 708 user I/O pins, and a supply operating window centered on a 1.8 V internal supply. The device is RoHS compliant and rated for commercial temperature operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Core Architecture MultiCore™ architecture with look-up table (LUT) logic optimized for register-intensive functions and high-density programmable logic.
• Logic Capacity 38,400 logic elements (LEs) and approximately 1,772,000 maximum system gates (device-class value), enabling complex logic implementation.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 327,680 bits of on-chip RAM available for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and other memory functions without reducing available logic.
• I/O and Interfaces 708 user I/O pins with MultiVolt™ I/O support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V interfaces (5.0 V tolerance possible using an external resistor as noted in device documentation). Includes support for high-speed external memories such as DDR and ZBT SRAM and 16 LVDS input/output channels at 840 Mbps per channel (series capability).
• Clock Management Up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs), a built-in low-skew clock tree, support for up to eight global clock signals, and programmable clock features for phase, delay, multiplication, and division.
• Interconnect and Arithmetic Support Dedicated carry and cascade chains plus a hierarchical FastTrack® interconnect structure for predictable, high-performance routing and efficient arithmetic implementation.
• Power and Supply Internal supply voltage centered at 1.8 V; product supply range listed as 1.71 V to 1.89 V. Copper interconnect technology and programmable ESB power-saving modes contribute to efficient operation (series characteristics).
• Package and Environmental 1020-BBGA (supplier package: 1020-FBGA, 33 × 33 mm) surface-mount package, commercial grade, RoHS compliant, rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation.
• Software and Toolchain Support Device-series support in Altera® Quartus® II development software and Altera MegaCore® functions for synthesis, place-and-route, and megafunction integration (series capability).

Typical Applications

• High-density digital systems — Implement large logic designs and custom digital functions using the device’s 38,400 logic elements and rich interconnect resources.
• Memory-centric designs — Use the on-chip RAM and ESBs to build FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and buffering for systems that interface with external DDR or ZBT memories.
• High-I/O connectivity — Deploy in applications requiring many GPIOs or mixed-voltage interfaces, leveraging the 708 user I/O pins and MultiVolt™ I/O support.
• Clocking and timing-critical systems — Take advantage of up to four PLLs, low-skew clock tree, and programmable clock features for complex clock-domain management.

Unique Advantages

• High integration density: 38,400 logic elements and ~327,680 bits of embedded RAM consolidate complex logic and memory functions on a single device, reducing BOM and board area.
• Flexible I/O compatibility: MultiVolt™ I/O support and a large I/O count (708 pins) simplify interfacing across multiple voltage domains and external memory subsystems.
• Configurable clocking: Multiple PLLs and programmable clock features allow precise clock management across multiple domains without external clocking complexity.
• Deterministic routing and arithmetic: Dedicated carry and cascade chains plus hierarchical interconnect provide efficient implementation of adders, counters, and wide combinational logic.
• Commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant package: 1020-BBGA surface-mount package with commercial temperature rating and RoHS compliance for mainstream applications.
• Established toolchain support: Series-level support in Quartus® II and Altera MegaCore® functions streamlines development, synthesis, and deployment.
