EP20K1000CF33C9ES

The EP20K1000CF33C9ES is an APEX-20KC series programmable logic device from Intel. It combines a MultiCore architecture with look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded memory blocks to deliver a high-density, configurable FPGA suitable for a wide range of digital designs.

Designed for applications that require substantial on-chip logic, embedded RAM and flexible I/O, this device targets system designers working on memory interfaces, high‑speed I/O, and complex control or signal-processing functions while offering commercial temperature grading and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Up to 38,400 logic elements enabling complex logic implementations and system-level integration.
• Gate Density  Approximately 1,772,000 system gates for high-density designs.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.328 Mbits of on-chip RAM (327,680 bits) that can be used without reducing available logic resources.
• I/O Capability  708 user I/O pins for broad connectivity to peripherals and external devices; MultiVolt I/O support is provided for common interface voltages.
• Clocking and Timing  Up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs) and up to eight global clock signals for flexible clock management (series feature).
• Process and Interconnect  Series-level copper interconnect and a hierarchical FastTrack interconnect structure to support predictable routing and timing.
• Package and Mounting  1020-BBGA package (supplier package 1020-FBGA 33×33) in a surface-mount form factor suitable for PCB assembly.
• Power and Supply  Specified voltage supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V; built for low-power operation through copper interconnect and architectural power features (series-level).
• Operating Range and Compliance  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS‑compliant.

Typical Applications

• Memory Interface and Bridging  Implement high-density controller logic for DDR and other high-speed memory interfaces using embedded RAM and flexible I/O.
• Networking and Communications  Use the device’s high I/O count and clocking resources to implement protocol handling, packet buffering, and interface bridging.
• Embedded System Control  Deploy in control and monitoring systems that require substantial on-chip logic alongside embedded RAM for FIFOs and buffering.
• Prototyping and Custom Logic  Suitable for hardware prototyping where configurable logic resources and a large I/O budget are required to validate system architectures.

Unique Advantages

• High logic capacity: 38,400 logic elements and ~1.77M gates provide the headroom for complex, integrated designs.
• Significant on‑chip RAM: Approximately 0.328 Mbits of embedded memory supports local buffering and efficient data movement without external RAM for some functions.
• Flexible I/O resources: 708 user I/Os and MultiVolt I/O support enable a wide range of interface options and system connectivity.
• Comprehensive clock management: Multiple PLLs and global clocks give designers granular control over timing domains and clock distribution.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliance: Commercial-grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C with RoHS compliance for environmental and assembly considerations.
