EP20K100EQC240-1

The EP20K100EQC240-1 is a commercial-grade APEX-20KE® family FPGA packaged in a 240‑BFQFP (240‑PQFP 32×32) surface-mount package. It delivers a balanced combination of logic capacity, embedded memory, and I/O density for system-on-chip integration and mid-range programmable logic designs.

Built on the APEX 20K architecture, the device integrates MultiCore™ elements — lookup-table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) — to support register-intensive logic, memory functions and combinatorial functions in a single programmable device.

Key Features

• Core Logic — Approximately 4,160 logic elements providing up to 263,000 system gates for implementing complex custom logic functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM available in ESBs for implementing FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAM functions without reducing logic availability.
• I/O Density — 183 user I/O pins to support broad peripheral and memory interfacing needs in a single package.
• MultiCore Architecture — Integrates LUT logic, product-term logic and embedded memory (ESB) to optimize register‑intensive and combinatorial implementations.
• Clocking — Family-level clock features include up to four PLLs, a low-skew clock tree and multiple global clocks for flexible clock management and reduced skew.
• High-speed Interfaces (Series Capability) — APEX 20K family supports high-speed external memories and advanced I/O standards (as a series feature), enabling designs that require DDR SDRAM or LVDS-style interfaces.
• Power — Designed for low-power operation; device-level supply range is specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V for this part number, and ESBs include programmable power-saving modes at the family level.
• Package & Mounting — 240‑BFQFP surface-mount package (240‑PQFP, 32×32) suitable for compact board layouts.
• Operating Conditions — Commercial temperature range: 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Memory Interface Controllers — Use embedded RAM and ESB features to implement DDR SDRAM or dual-port buffer logic and FIFO management for memory-heavy designs.
• High‑Speed I/O Subsystems — 183 I/Os and APEX family I/O support enable implementation of LVDS-style channels, PCI interface logic and other high-throughput interfaces.
• System Integration & SOC Functions — MultiCore architecture and on-chip ESBs simplify integration of register‑intensive functions, custom peripheral glue logic, and embedded memories.
• Custom Logic and Control — Ideal for mid-range programmable logic tasks such as protocol bridging, bus interfacing, and control-plane logic with clear power and thermal boundaries.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory Capacity: 4,160 logic elements paired with approximately 53 kbits of embedded RAM enable a wide range of mid‑scale designs without external memory overhead.
• Flexible Clocking: Multiple PLLs and a low‑skew clock network provide deterministic clock management for synchronous systems.
• High I/O Count in Compact Package: 183 user I/Os in a 240‑BFQFP package reduce PCB routing complexity for dense peripheral and memory interfaces.
• Surface-Mount Packaging: 240‑PQFP (32×32) surface-mount form factor supports compact board designs and standard assembly processes.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Commercial operating range (0 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS compliance simplify integration into mainstream electronic products.
