EP20K100EQC208-1

The EP20K100EQC208-1 is an APEX-20KE family FPGA in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package, designed for commercial applications requiring moderate logic density with embedded memory and flexible I/O. It combines MultiCore architecture elements—look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs)—to support system-on-a-programmable-chip integration and a range of interfacing and control functions.

With 4,160 logic elements, approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM, and support for a variety of I/O and clocking features, this device targets designs that need a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory, and configurable I/O in a 208-pin PQFP footprint.

Key Features

• Core architecture  MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for register‑intensive and memory‑centric functions.
• Logic capacity  4,160 logic elements and approximately 263,000 system gates provide mid-range programmable logic capacity for control, glue‑logic, and moderate-compute functions.
• Embedded memory  53,248 total RAM bits (approximately 0.053 Mbits) implemented via ESBs, suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and content-addressable memory structures.
• I/O and interfacing  151 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O capabilities in the APEX-20K family; programmable clamp and slew-rate control support a variety of external memory and bus interfaces.
• Clock management  Flexible clock resources including multiple PLLs, a low-skew clock tree, and programmable clock phase/delay features for synchronized system timing.
• Power and supply  Internal supply range specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V, enabling operation with the APEX-20KE device internal-voltage architecture.
• Package and mounting  Commercial-grade, surface-mount 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28 mm) for compact PCB implementations.
• Operating range  Commercial operating temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Typical Applications

• Interface bridging and protocol conversion  Use the device’s flexible I/O and embedded memory to implement bus bridging, protocol adaptation, and glue logic between different voltage levels and peripherals.
• Memory controller and buffering  ESB-based RAM and FIFO implementations enable buffering and simple memory-control functions such as dual-port RAM or FIFO staging for external SDRAM/ZBT SRAM interfaces.
• Embedded system integration  MultiCore architecture supports integrating control logic, state machines, and peripheral interfaces into a single programmable device for compact system designs.
• PCI and peripheral interfaces  APEX-20K family I/O capabilities support common bus and peripheral interfaces used in commercial computing and embedded control systems.

Unique Advantages

• System-on-chip integration: MultiCore architecture and ESBs allow implementing logic and memory functions on a single device, reducing component count and PCB complexity.
• Balanced logic and memory: 4,160 logic elements paired with 53,248 bits of embedded RAM provide a practical balance for mid-density designs that need both logic and on-chip storage.
• Configurable I/O: 151 user I/O pins and family-level MultiVolt support enable flexible interfacing with a wide range of external devices and memory types.
• Flexible clocking: Multiple PLLs and programmable clock features support complex timing requirements and low-skew distribution across the design.
• Compact commercial package: 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28 mm) surface-mount package facilitates integration into space-constrained commercial PCBs.
• Commercial temperature rating: Specified 0°C to 85°C operation suitable for standard commercial applications and environments.
