EP20K100EBC356-3

The EP20K100EBC356-3 is an APEX-20KE family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 356-ball LBGA package designed for commercial applications. It integrates a MultiCore architecture combining look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to implement logic and on-chip memory functions.

This device targets designs that need a mid-range FPGA resource set—including 4,160 logic elements, 246 user I/Os, and 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM—while providing flexible I/O options and clock management for system-level integration and mixed-voltage interfacing.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  MultiCore architecture with LUT logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for register‑intensive and memory-related functions.
• Logic Resources  4,160 logic elements and a maximum gate count listed as 263,000, providing capacity for mid-range programmable logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory  53,248 total RAM bits on-chip for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and content-addressable memory (CAM) implementations.
• I/O and Standards Support  246 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support; programmable clamps and slew-rate control plus individual tri-state enable for flexible signal interfacing.
• Clock Management  Flexible clock resources including up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs), built-in low-skew clock tree, up to eight global clocks, and programmable clock phase/delay features.
• High-Speed Interfaces  Architectural support for high-speed external memories such as DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM, PCI-compliant 3.3‑V operation, and differential signaling like LVDS.
• Power and Supply  Internal voltage supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V and MultiVolt I/O levels to interface with a range of external devices.
• Package & Thermal  356-LBGA (35 × 35 mm BGA) surface-mount package rated for commercial operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications & Networking  Implement protocol bridging, packet processing, or memory interface logic using the device’s flexible I/O and embedded RAM capabilities.
• Memory Controllers & Interfaces  Use the on-chip RAM and high-speed interface support for DDR SDRAM or ZBT SRAM control and buffering.
• Embedded System Integration  Leverage ESBs for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM to build compact system-on-programmable-chip (SOPC) designs.
• High-Speed I/O Designs  Deploy LVDS and high-frequency bidirectional I/O paths for data acquisition, SERDES front-ends, or high-throughput signaling.

Unique Advantages

• MultiCore Integration:  Combines LUT-based logic and embedded system blocks to implement both register-intensive and memory-intensive functions within a single device.
• Balanced Resource Set:  4,160 logic elements with 53,248 bits of embedded RAM and 246 I/Os provide a practical mid-range resource mix for many system designs.
• Flexible Clocking:  Multiple PLLs, global clock signals and programmable phase/delay features enable precise clock domain management for complex designs.
• Mixed-Voltage Interfacing:  MultiVolt I/O support and programmable I/O features allow direct interfacing to a variety of external voltage domains.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package:  356-LBGA (35 × 35 mm) package supports high-density PCB layouts while maintaining a commercial temperature range for general-purpose applications.
