EP20K100EQC240-3N

The EP20K100EQC240-3N is an APEX-20KE family FPGA from Intel, offering a programmable-logic building block with MultiCore architecture that integrates lookup-table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory. This surface-mount, commercial-grade device targets system designs that require on-chip logic, embedded RAM, and flexible I/O in a 240-pin BFQFP package.

Typical use cases include system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration, interface bridging and memory controller functions, and general-purpose programmable logic tasks where a balance of density, I/O count, and power efficiency is required.

Key Features

• Core Logic Built around the APEX-20KE family MultiCore architecture with LUT and product-term logic; this device provides 4,160 logic elements for implementing combinational and register-intensive functions.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 0.053 Mbits of embedded memory (53,248 bits) available for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, CAM, and other on-chip storage needs.
• Density and Gate Count Supports a maximum of 263,000 system gates for complex glue logic and mid-range programmable systems.
• I/O and Interfaces 183 user I/O pins in a 240-BFQFP (240-PQFP 32×32) package; MultiVolt I/O interface support and family-level features for LVDS and high-speed interface standards are part of the APEX-20K feature set.
• Clock Management Family-level clock features include multi-PLL support and a low-skew clock tree with features such as ClockLock, ClockBoost, and programmable phase/delay shifting for deterministic clocking in complex designs.
• Power Low-power oriented device with a specified supply voltage range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V and surface-mount package suitable for compact boards.
• Package and Mounting 240-pin BFQFP (supplier device package: 240-PQFP 32×32); surface-mount mounting simplifies placement in standard PCB assembly flows.
• Operating Range and Compliance Commercial-grade operating temperature from 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS-compliant for environmental conformity.

Typical Applications

• System Integration / SOPC Use as an on-chip integration element where LUTs and embedded memory implement custom accelerators, protocol logic, or microcontroller interfaces.
• Memory Interface and Controllers Implement DDR SDRAM or ZBT SRAM interface logic and buffering using the device’s embedded RAM and dedicated I/O features.
• PCI and Peripheral Bridging Deploy in systems requiring PCI-compliant interfaces (family-level support for 3.3 V PCI operation) and other high-speed peripheral connections.
• High-speed I/O and Serial Links Leverage MultiVolt I/O and APEX-20K family support for LVDS and other high-speed signaling standards for communications and data links.

Unique Advantages

• MultiCore Integration: Combines LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks for flexible implementation of both register- and memory-intensive functions.
• Balanced Logic and Memory: 4,160 logic elements paired with approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM enables compact implementations without immediate external memory dependence.
• Flexible I/O in a Compact Package: 183 user I/O pins in a 240-BFQFP package provide a solid I/O footprint for mid-density designs while keeping PCB space and BOM considerations manageable.
• Deterministic Clocking: Family-level multi-PLL and clock-management features help control skew and enable complex timing architectures for synchronous designs.
• Commercial-grade and RoHS-compliant: Designed for commercial temperature ranges with RoHS compliance to meet common regulatory and assembly requirements.
