EP20K100EQC240-2X

The EP20K100EQC240-2X is an APEX-20KE family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) IC designed for commercial embedded logic applications. It implements a MultiCore architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded memory, enabling system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration.

This device targets applications that require medium-density programmable logic combined with embedded system blocks, plentiful I/O and flexible clock management—delivering a balance of integration, configurability and power-aware operation for embedded and communications designs.

Key Features

• MultiCore architecture and SOPC integration Integrates LUT logic, product-term logic and embedded memory to support register‑intensive and memory‑intensive functions within a single programmable device.
• Logic density Approximately 263,000 gates with 4,160 logic elements, suitable for medium-density logic implementations and complex glue logic.
• Embedded memory Approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM implemented in embedded system blocks (ESBs) for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM-style functions.
• I/O capability 183 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support to interface with multiple voltage domains and a programmable slew and clamp options for signal integrity control.
• Clock and timing Flexible clock management with up to four PLLs, built-in low-skew clock tree and multiple global clock signals to manage complex timing domains.
• Power and voltage Low-voltage internal operation with supply range specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V and design considerations for low-power modes.
• Package and mounting 240-BFQFP (240-PQFP 32×32) surface-mount package for streamlined PCB assembly and compact board-level integration.
• Commercial temperature grade Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for standard commercial deployments.

Typical Applications

• Embedded systems and SOPC solutions — Use on-chip LUTs and ESBs to consolidate control logic, FIFOs and custom peripherals in compact embedded designs.
• Interface bridging and protocol conversion — Leverage abundant I/O and MultiVolt support to interface between different voltage domains and legacy or modern peripherals.
• Memory buffering and data streaming — Implement FIFOs and dual-port RAM using the device’s embedded memory for buffering in data acquisition, buffering or communications paths.
• Prototyping and development — Medium-density logic and flexible clock resources make this FPGA suitable for breadboarding and early-stage hardware development of custom logic.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated SOPC-capable architecture: MultiCore integration of LUTs, product-term logic and ESBs reduces external component count and simplifies system design.
• Balanced logic and memory resources: 4,160 logic elements with approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM provide a practical balance for designs that mix control logic and buffering.
• Flexible I/O for mixed-voltage systems: 183 user I/O pins and MultiVolt interface support simplify interconnection to peripherals across multiple voltage domains.
• Robust clock management: Multiple PLLs and a low-skew clock tree enable reliable multi‑domain timing without extensive external logic.
• Compact, surface-mount package: 240-BFQFP package supports dense board layouts while remaining compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.
• Commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant for mainstream electronic products and systems.
