EP20K100EQC208-2X

The EP20K100EQC208-2X is an APEX-20KE family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package. It implements a MultiCore architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded memory, delivering a programmable logic fabric suitable for control, interface and memory-centric functions.

Targeted at commercial applications, this device provides a balance of logic density, on-chip RAM and flexible I/O to support designs that require embedded memory, multiple clock domains and mixed-voltage interfacing.

Key Features

• MultiCore architecture – Integrates LUT logic, product-term logic and embedded memory for mixed register- and combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Logic density – Approximately 4,160 logic elements and up to 263,000 system gates to implement mid-range programmable designs.
• Embedded memory – Approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM to implement FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM-style functions.
• Macrocells – 416 macrocells available for product-term-based logic and legacy macrocell mapping.
• Flexible I/O – 151 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support and programmable I/O features described in the device family data sheet.
• Advanced I/O performance – Bidirectional I/O performance noted up to 250 MHz and LVDS support documented up to 840 Mbits per channel in the APEX 20K family data.
• Clock management – Family-level support for up to four PLLs, a built-in low-skew clock tree and up to eight global clock signals (features described in the APEX 20K family data).
• Low-voltage operation – Device internal supply in the range 1.71 V to 1.89 V per part specification, supporting lower-power designs.
• Package and mounting – 208-BFQFP (208-pin PQFP, 28 × 28) surface-mount package for standard PCB assembly workflows.
• Commercial temperature grade – Operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Memory interface controllers – Use the device’s embedded RAM and I/O capabilities to implement DDR and high-speed SRAM interface logic where on-chip buffering and FIFOs are required.
• Protocol bridging and I/O aggregation – Leverage MultiVolt I/O and high-speed I/O performance for PCI, LVDS and other high-speed interface roles.
• Data acquisition and signal preprocessing – Combine logic elements and embedded memory to implement real-time buffering, formatting and pre-processing of streamed data.
• Custom control and timing systems – Use the device’s clock management and multiple PLLs to implement multi-domain timing and control logic for embedded systems.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated logic and memory: On-chip LUT logic plus approximately 53,248 bits of embedded RAM reduce external memory dependency for many designs.
• Mid-range capacity: Around 4,160 logic elements and 263,000 system gates provide a practical balance of density and cost for commercial applications.
• Flexible clocking: Family-level PLL and global clock resources simplify multi-clock-domain designs and timing distribution.
• Mixed-voltage I/O support: MultiVolt I/O features allow interfacing with a variety of external devices and I/O standards as described in the APEX 20K family documentation.
• Standard package and mounting: 208-BFQFP surface-mount package eases integration into existing PCB form factors and assembly processes.
• Regulatory and environmental: RoHS compliant construction supports environmental requirements for commercial products.
