EP20K100EFI144-3

The EP20K100EFI144-3 is an Altera APEX-20K series FPGA provided in a 144-LQFP surface-mount package. It integrates a MultiCore architecture combining lookup-table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded memory to support system-level integration and on-chip buffering.

With 4,160 logic elements, approximately 53 kbits of embedded RAM, flexible clocking and rich I/O, this industrial-grade device targets designs that require mid-range logic density, embedded memory and multi-voltage I/O compatibility within a compact 144-pin footprint.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  MultiCore architecture combining LUT logic and product-term logic for register- and combinatorial-intensive functions; series-level SOPC integration capabilities.
• Logic Density  4,160 logic elements (LEs) delivering approximately 263,000 system gates to implement medium-complexity custom logic.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM organized as embedded system blocks suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM-style functions.
• I/O and Interface  93 user I/O pins with series-level support for MultiVolt I/O standards and advanced I/O protocols; designed for high-speed external memory and bus interfacing.
• Clocking and Timing  Flexible clock management with up to four PLLs, built-in low-skew clock tree and programmable clock phase/delay features to support synchronous system designs.
• Power and Supply  Internal and I/O supply requirements per device: specified voltage supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V for this part number, and series-level low-power design options.
• Package and Temperature  Surface-mount 144-LQFP package (144-TQFP 20×20 supplier package) rated for industrial temperature operation from −40 °C to 100 °C.
• Design-for-Test  Series documentation notes JTAG boundary-scan support for system-level testability and debug.

Typical Applications

• Embedded system integration  On-chip memory and LUT resources make the device suitable for combining control logic and buffer/FIFO functions in compact system designs.
• High-speed I/O and memory interfaces  Use in applications that interface to external memories and high-speed buses where flexible I/O and clocking support are required.
• Industrial control and automation  Industrial-grade temperature range and surface-mount packaging fit control, monitoring and sensor aggregation tasks in industrial equipment.
• Custom logic and protocol bridging  Mid-range logic density and numerous I/O pins allow implementation of protocol converters, bus bridges and glue-logic functions.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory mix: 4,160 logic elements combined with approximately 53 kbits of embedded RAM support both logic-intensive and buffer-centric functions on a single device.
• Flexible clocking: Multiple PLLs and a low-skew clock tree provide the timing control needed for multi-domain designs and high-speed interfaces.
• Compact industrial package: 144-LQFP surface-mount package and −40 °C to 100 °C rating enable deployment in space-constrained, industrial environments.
• Rich I/O capability: 93 user I/O pins and family-level MultiVolt support facilitate interfacing to a wide range of external devices and memory technologies.
• On-board system integration: Embedded system blocks (ESBs) support FIFO, dual-port RAM and CAM implementations to reduce external component count.
