EP20K100EFC324-1X

The EP20K100EFC324-1X is an FPGA from Intel's APEX-20KE family that combines LUT-based logic, product-term logic and embedded memory for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration. With 4,160 logic elements, approximately 53,248 bits of embedded RAM, and extensive I/O, it targets commercial designs that require on-chip memory, flexible interfacing and moderate gate density in a compact BGA package.

Key Features

• Core architecture  MultiCore architecture integrating look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory to support register‑intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Logic capacity  Approximately 263,000 system gates and 4,160 logic elements to implement mid-density digital designs.
• Embedded memory  Approximately 0.053 Mbits (53,248 bits) of on-chip RAM suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and other local storage needs.
• I/O and interface flexibility  246 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support and family-level I/O features for high-speed external-memory and bus connectivity.
• Clock management  Family features include flexible clock circuitry with support for up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs), multiple global clock signals, and programmable clock shift/phase control.
• Power and supply  Designed for low-power operation with a voltage supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V for this device variant.
• Package and mounting  324-ball FBGA (19 × 19) package in surface-mount format, enabling compact board layouts.
• Operating range and compliance  Commercial-grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded system integration  Use the device for on-chip SOPC-style integration where compact logic, embedded RAM and programmable I/O simplify system architecture.
• Memory interface and buffering  Implement DDR/SDRAM interface logic and FIFO buffers using the embedded RAM and dedicated memory features described for the APEX-20K family.
• Custom protocol bridging  Create protocol translators and I/O logic that leverage the part’s MultiVolt I/O capability and plentiful user I/O pins.
• Mid-density digital processing  Deploy as the programmable logic hub in commercial digital designs that require ~4,160 logic elements and ~263k system gates.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated FPGA core: MultiCore architecture combines LUTs, product-term logic and embedded memory to reduce external component count and simplify design.
• Balanced logic and memory: 4,160 logic elements with approximately 53,248 bits of embedded RAM provide a balance of combinational logic and local storage for common application needs.
• Flexible clocking: Family-level PLL and clock-shift features enable precise clock management for synchronous designs and timing optimization.
• Broad I/O capability: 246 user I/Os and MultiVolt support allow interfacing with a wide range of external devices and memory subsystems.
• Compact package: 324-FBGA (19 × 19) surface-mount package enables high-density PCB implementations while maintaining robust connectivity.
• Commercial-grade and RoHS compliant: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant to meet commercial product requirements and environmental regulations.
