EP20K100EQC208-3N

The EP20K100EQC208-3N is an APEX-20KE family FPGA offering a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory, and flexible I/O in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. Based on the APEX 20K MultiCore architecture, the device combines look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to support register‑intensive and memory-intensive functions.

This commercial-grade FPGA targets embedded system integration, custom logic implementation, and high-performance interface control where compact package, on-chip memory and configurable I/O are required.

Key Features

• Core architecture  APEX 20K MultiCore architecture leveraging LUT logic and product-term logic for register- and combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Logic capacity  4,160 logic elements and up to 263,000 system gates for mid-density programmable logic designs.
• Embedded memory  Approximately 0.053 Mbits of on-chip RAM (53,248 total RAM bits) provided by ESBs for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM implementations.
• I/O resources  151 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface capability in the APEX 20K family; supports high-speed external memories and a range of I/O standards as part of the family feature set.
• Clock and timing  Family-level clock management features include multiple PLLs, a low-skew clock tree and programmable clock phase/delay controls (available in the APEX 20K family).
• Power and supply  Device supply range specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V and designed for low-power operation consistent with APEX 20K family design goals.
• Package and mounting  208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28 × 28) in a surface-mount form factor.
• Operating conditions  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded system integration  Use the EP20K100EQC208-3N to implement SOPC-style integration where on-chip logic and embedded memory accelerate system functions.
• Interface and protocol bridging  Mid-density logic and flexible I/O enable custom protocol converters and interface controllers, including designs that require high‑speed external memory support.
• Memory buffering and controllers  ESB-based RAM and FIFO capabilities support buffering and control logic for external DDR or ZBT memory interfaces (family feature).
• Custom logic and prototyping  Ideal for implementing application-specific accelerators, glue logic, and proof-of-concept designs in commercial-temperature deployments.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range resources: 4,160 logic elements with ~263,000 system gates provide a practical balance of capacity for many embedded and interface designs.
• On-chip memory for system tasks: ESB-provided RAM (approximately 0.053 Mbits) enables local FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM implementations without external memory for small buffers.
• Flexible I/O and memory support: 151 user I/Os combined with APEX 20K family I/O features facilitate high-speed external memory connections and a range of signaling standards.
• Compact, surface-mount package: 208-BFQFP surface-mount packaging simplifies PCB layout for space-constrained designs while retaining a large pin count.
• Commercial temperature suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation to match a wide range of commercial and embedded applications.
• Standards-conscious design: RoHS compliance supports regulatory and environmental requirements for commercial products.
