EP20K100EQC208-3

The EP20K100EQC208-3 is an APEX-20KE family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28) surface-mount package. It integrates lookup-table (LUT) logic and embedded memory resources using the MultiCore architecture to deliver flexible programmable logic with significant embedded RAM.

Targeted for commercial designs requiring moderate logic capacity and rich I/O, this device combines 4,160 logic elements, approximately 53 Kbits of embedded memory, and 151 I/O pins to support control, interfacing and buffering tasks within consumer, communications and general embedded systems.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 4,160 logic elements (LEs) providing 263,000 gates of logic density for medium-complexity FPGA designs.
• On-chip Embedded Memory — Approximately 53 Kbits of embedded RAM (53,248 bits) for FIFOs, buffers and small data storage without using external memory.
• I/O and Package — 151 programmable I/O pins in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package (208-PQFP, 28×28) to support a broad range of interfaces and board layouts.
• Power and Supply — Internal supply operation compatible with 1.71 V to 1.89 V VCCINT range, designed for low-power operation within commercial power envelopes.
• Operating Range and Compliance — Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature and RoHS compliant.
• MultiCore Architecture & ESBs — Family-level MultiCore architecture integrates LUT logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for implementing RAM, FIFOs and CAMs as described in APEX-20K documentation.
• Clock Management — Series-level features include flexible clock management with up to four PLLs, built-in low-skew clock tree, and up to eight global clock signals (as described for the APEX 20K family).
• Advanced I/O Support — Family-level I/O capabilities include MultiVolt interface support, programmable clamp to VCCIO, per-pin tri-state control and programmable output slew-rate control (APEX 20K family features).
• High-Speed Interface Support — Series documentation indicates support for high-speed external memories and high-performance I/O standards suitable for DDR SDRAM and other memory interfaces (APEX 20K family features).

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control and Signal Processing — Use the device’s 4,160 logic elements and embedded RAM for control logic, protocol handling and modest signal-processing tasks.
• Memory Buffers and FIFO Management — Embedded system blocks and on-chip RAM are well suited for implementing FIFOs and small buffering functions to support external memory and peripheral interfaces.
• Interface Bridging and Protocol Conversion — 151 I/O pins and MultiVolt I/O support enable interfacing between different voltage domains and implementing protocol translation logic on a single IC.
• Prototyping and Low- to Mid-density FPGA Designs — Combines moderate logic capacity with flexible I/O and clock management for proof-of-concept, evaluation, or production designs in commercial environments.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 4,160 logic elements paired with approximately 53 Kbits of embedded RAM lets designers implement both control logic and local data storage on-chip, reducing external memory dependence.
• Flexible I/O in a Compact Package — 151 I/Os in a 208-BFQFP footprint support dense connectivity while maintaining a standard surface-mount form factor for compact boards.
• Programmable Clocking — Series-level PLLs and a low-skew clock tree enable deterministic clock distribution and phase adjustments for synchronous designs.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant to meet typical commercial product requirements and environmental regulations.
• Surface-Mount Assembly — Surface-mount package simplifies automated PCB assembly for volume manufacturing.
