EP20K100EFC144-3

The EP20K100EFC144-3 is an APEX-20KE® family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Altera, provided in a 144-ball BGA (13×13) surface-mount package. It integrates 4,160 logic elements, approximately 53 kbits of on-chip RAM, and 93 user I/O pins, making it suited to commercial designs that require moderate-density programmable logic in a compact package.

Designed for commercial applications, the device operates from 1.71 V to 1.89 V and across a 0 °C to 85 °C temperature range, offering a defined set of resources for embedded logic, I/O interfacing, and compact system implementations.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Contains 4,160 logic elements to implement combinational and sequential logic functions within a compact FPGA footprint.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 53,248 bits (≈53 kbits) of total on-chip RAM for buffering, state storage, and small lookup tables.
• Programmable I/O  93 available I/O pins to support multi-signal interfaces and peripheral connectivity.
• Package & Mounting  144-BGA package (supplier package: 144-FBGA, 13×13) delivered in a surface-mount form factor for dense PCB layouts.
• Power  Core supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V to match system power budgets requiring low-voltage operation.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade operation with an ambient range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant for reduced hazardous substances in manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Moderate-density digital logic  Implementation of custom logic functions and state machines where up to 4,160 logic elements meet design needs.
• I/O bridging and signal aggregation  Use of 93 I/O pins to consolidate and translate multiple peripheral or sensor signals in a single device.
• Compact embedded systems  Space-constrained applications that benefit from the 13×13 144-BGA package and surface-mount assembly.
• Prototyping and evaluation  Development of proof-of-concept designs that require reconfigurable logic and modest embedded memory.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced resource profile: 4,160 logic elements paired with ~53 kbits of RAM provide a practical mix of logic and memory for moderate-complexity designs.
• High I/O count for the package size: 93 user I/Os enable diverse peripheral and interface support without increasing PCB area significantly.
• Compact BGA footprint: 144-FBGA (13×13) reduces board space while supporting surface-mount manufacturing processes.
• Low-voltage operation: 1.71 V to 1.89 V supply requirements help integrate the FPGA into systems with constrained power rails.
• Commercial-grade suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation to match general commercial product deployment environments.
• RoHS compliant: Supports environmental and regulatory requirements for reduced hazardous substances.
