EP20K100EQC208-1X

The EP20K100EQC208-1X is a commercial-grade APEX-20KE family FPGA from Intel offering mid-range programmable logic density and embedded memory for system integration tasks. Built on the APEX 20K architecture, the device combines look-up table (LUT) logic with embedded system blocks (ESBs) to support register-intensive and memory-oriented functions.

Targeted at commercial embedded and interface applications, this surface-mount FPGA delivers 4,160 logic elements, approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM, and 151 user I/Os in a 208-BFQFP package, providing a balance of integration, I/O capability, and design flexibility.

Key Features

• Core architecture (APEX 20K family) MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory for a mix of register-intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Logic density 4,160 logic elements (LEs) and up to 263,000 system gates enable mid-range programmable logic integration for complex control and glue-logic tasks.
• Embedded memory Approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM (ESBs) suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and other memory functions.
• I/O and interface capability 151 user I/O pins support broad peripheral interfacing; the APEX 20K family provides flexible I/O features for common bus and memory interfaces.
• Clock management Family-level clock resources include flexible clock-management features (PLLs and global clocks) to support synchronous designs.
• Package and mounting 208-BFQFP (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board integration.
• Power and supply Specified supply range: 1.71 V to 1.89 V, enabling integration into low-voltage systems.
• Commercial temperature grade Operating temperature 0 °C to 85 °C for commercial applications.
• Environmental compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control and logic consolidation Replace multiple discrete logic devices or glue logic by implementing control, state machines, and peripheral interfaces inside the FPGA.
• Interface bridging and protocol adaptation Use the device’s plentiful I/Os and programmable logic to implement bus bridges, level translation front-ends, and custom protocol adapters.
• Memory buffering and small FIFO engines Leverage the ESB embedded memory to implement FIFOs and small dual-port RAM blocks for buffering and handoff between subsystems.
• Prototyping and system validation Mid-density logic and flexible clocking make this part suitable for hardware prototyping and validating system-level logic before scaling.

Unique Advantages

• Programmable system integration: MultiCore APEX architecture combines LUT logic and embedded memory to consolidate functions and reduce external components.
• Balanced capacity: 4,160 logic elements with ~53,248 bits of RAM provide a practical trade-off of logic and memory for many mid-range designs.
• Flexible I/O count: 151 user I/Os accommodate multiple peripherals and interfaces without immediate need for external I/O expanders.
• Compact, surface-mount package: 208-BFQFP (28×28 PQFP footprint) simplifies PCB integration in space-constrained commercial products.
• Commercial operating range: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C to meet typical commercial equipment environment requirements.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports lead-free manufacturing processes.
