EP20K100EBC356-1

The EP20K100EBC356-1 is an APEX-20KE family FPGA from Intel, featuring a MultiCore architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for on-chip memory and combinatorial functions. With 4,160 logic elements, approximately 53.2 Kbits of embedded memory, and 246 user I/Os in a 356-ball LBGA package, it is designed for designs that require compact, reconfigurable logic with flexible I/O and clock management.

On-chip features such as multiple PLLs, MultiVolt I/O support, and a dedicated FastTrack interconnect structure enable use in applications that need integrated memory, interface bridging, and controlled clocking while operating within a commercial temperature range.

Key Features

• Logic Resources  4,160 logic elements providing up to 263,000 maximum system gates for implementing custom digital logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM (embedded system blocks) suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM implementations.
• I/O Capacity & Flexibility  246 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5.0 V) and programmable output features for interfacing with a wide range of peripherals and memory devices.
• Clock Management  Flexible clock circuitry with support for up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs), low-skew clock tree and features for clock phase/delay control.
• Low-Power Design  Designed for low-power operation with an internal supply around 1.8 V (specified 1.71 V to 1.89 V) and ESB power-saving modes.
• Package & Mounting  356-ball BGA (35 × 35 mm) package, surface-mount mounting for compact board-level integration.
• Commercial Grade & Compliance  Commercial-grade operating range (0 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS-compliant.

Typical Applications

• Memory Interface Controllers  Implement DDR SDRAM or ZBT SRAM interface logic and on-chip buffering using the ESBs and high I/O pin count for external memory control.
• Custom Logic & Prototyping  Rapidly develop and iterate custom digital logic, control state machines, and glue logic with 4,160 logic elements and embedded RAM resources.
• High‑Speed I/O Bridging  Bridge and adapt peripheral buses and differential interfaces using MultiVolt I/O support and programmable I/O features.
• Clocked Systems & Timing Control  Use integrated PLLs and the low-skew clock tree for synchronized multi-clock designs and timing-critical applications.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Memory and Logic:  Embedded system blocks provide approximately 53.2 Kbits of RAM alongside LUT-based logic to reduce external memory needs and simplify board design.
• High I/O Count with Voltage Flexibility:  246 user I/Os and MultiVolt support (1.8 V–5.0 V) enable direct interfacing to a broad range of peripherals and legacy interfaces.
• Compact, Surface‑Mount Package:  356-BGA (35 × 35 mm) packaging delivers a high-density solution for space-constrained PCBs.
• Clocking and Timing Control:  Multiple PLLs and clock-management features allow precise control of clock distribution and phase for complex synchronous designs.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability:  Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS-compliant for mainstream commercial applications.
