EP20K100EQI240-2X

The EP20K100EQI240-2X is an APEX-20KE family FPGA in a 240-BFQFP (240-PQFP 32×32) surface-mount package designed for industrial applications. It integrates a MultiCore architecture combining lookup-table (LUT) logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to address register‑intensive and memory‑intensive functions in mid-density programmable logic designs.

This device targets designs requiring 4,160 logic elements, approximately 53,248 bits of embedded RAM, and 183 user I/O pins, delivering flexible I/O and clock management for interfaces such as high-speed external memories and bus peripherals while operating across an industrial temperature range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 4,160 logic elements and approximately 263,000 system gates provide mid-level integration for glue logic, protocol bridging, and custom control functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM implemented via Embedded System Blocks (ESBs) for FIFO buffers, dual-port RAM and CAM-style functions.
• I/O Density & Flexibility — 183 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support to accommodate multiple I/O voltage levels and a programmable clamp and slew-rate control for signal integrity management.
• Clock Management — Family features include multiple phase-locked loops (PLLs), a built-in low-skew clock tree and programmable clock-shifting capabilities to support synchronous, multi-domain designs.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount 240-BFQFP (supplier device package: 240-PQFP 32×32) for PCB density and automated assembly.
• Power — Low-voltage internal supply operation with a device supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V for the internal core supply.
• Industrial Temperature Rating — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C, suitable for industrial environments.
• Standards and Interfaces (Family) — APEX 20K family supports high-speed external memory interfaces (including DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM) and bus-compliant operation for PCI Local Bus at 3.3 V (family-level feature).

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Deterministic logic and I/O density for machine control, PLC auxiliaries, and factory automation where industrial temperature range and robust I/O are required.
• Memory Interface and Buffering — Use embedded system blocks to implement FIFO buffers and dual-port RAM for interfacing to DDR SDRAM or ZBT SRAM in data buffering and memory controller prototypes.
• Peripheral and Bus Interface — Implement PCI-compliant peripheral controllers and bus bridging logic leveraging the family’s PCI Local Bus support and flexible I/O options.
• High-speed Serial and Differential I/O — LVDS-capable channels (family feature) for high-throughput serial links and inter-module communication.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Mid-Range Integration: 4,160 logic elements and ~53,248 bits of embedded RAM provide a compact, integrated platform for mid-complexity designs without excessive board-level components.
• Flexible I/O Strategy: 183 user I/Os with MultiVolt support and programmable output features simplify interfacing with a variety of peripherals and voltage domains.
• Embedded Memory Blocks (ESBs): On-chip ESBs enable efficient implementation of FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAM-like functions to reduce external memory dependence.
• Deterministic Clocking: Multiple PLLs and a low-skew clock distribution network support multi-clock designs and help control timing across domains.
• Industrial Robustness: Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C and supplied in a surface-mount PQFP package suitable for automated assembly and industrial deployments.
