EP20K100EBC356-1X

The EP20K100EBC356-1X is an Intel APEX-20KE® field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 356-LBGA package. Based on the APEX 20K MultiCore architecture, the device integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to support register-intensive logic and on-chip memory functions.

Designed for commercial-grade applications, this device provides programmable logic, embedded memory and flexible I/O for designs that require mid-range logic density, moderate embedded RAM, and a variety of I/O standards and clock-management features.

Key Features

• Core Logic – 4,160 logic elements providing up to 263,000 system gates for implementing a variety of digital functions.
• Embedded Memory – 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.053 Mbits) available via ESBs for FIFOs, dual-port RAM or CAM-style implementations.
• I/O Capability – 246 user I/O pins supporting MultiVolt I/O interface levels and advanced signalling options as defined in the APEX 20K family.
• Clock Management – Integrated clock circuitry from the APEX 20K family, including support for multiple PLLs, a low-skew clock tree and features for phase/delay adjustment.
• Power and Voltage – Internal supply operation aligned to the EP20K100E specification; device supply range listed as 1.71 V to 1.89 V for VCCINT.
• Package and Mounting – 356-LBGA (356-BGA, 35 × 35 mm) package, surface-mount mounting type for compact PCB integration.
• Operating Range – Commercial temperature grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards and Compliance – RoHS-compliant construction; part of the APEX 20K family with documented support for industry interfaces in the family datasheet.

Typical Applications

• Memory Interface and Buffering – Implement DDR SDRAM or ZBT-style memory interface logic and on-chip FIFO buffering using the device’s ESBs and embedded RAM.
• PCI and Bus Bridge Logic – Use for PCI Local Bus adaptation and custom bus logic leveraging the APEX family’s PCI-compatible I/O features.
• Custom Digital Systems – Ideal for mid-density programmable logic tasks such as protocol conversion, control logic and glue-logic between subsystems.
• High-Speed I/O and Differential Signalling – Support for differential signaling modes and fast bidirectional I/O paths for channelized data interfaces and LVDS-capable designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory Resources: 4,160 logic elements paired with 53,248 bits of embedded RAM enable both register-rich logic and on-chip buffering without external memory for many mid-range designs.
• Flexible I/O Count: 246 user I/O pins allow extensive peripheral and bus connectivity while supporting MultiVolt interface options documented for the family.
• Integrated Clock Features: On-chip PLLs and a low-skew clock tree from the APEX 20K architecture simplify clock distribution and timing management for multi-clock designs.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability: Specified operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C and surface-mount 356-LBGA packaging suit standard commercial applications and PCB assembly flows.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant construction supports global manufacturing and regulatory requirements for lead-free assemblies.
