EP20K100ETC144-1X

The EP20K100ETC144-1X is an APEX-20KE family FPGA in a 144-LQFP surface-mount package, providing programmable logic, embedded memory, and flexible I/O in a commercial-grade device. Its MultiCore architecture integrates LUT-based logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to support both register‑intensive and memory‑centric functions.

With 4,160 logic elements, approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM, 92 user I/O pins and a maximum of 263,000 system gates, this device targets designs that require mid-density programmable logic, on-chip memory for FIFOs or dual-port RAM, and configurable high-performance I/O. The device operates from a 1.71 V to 1.89 V supply and supports an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Core architecture  MultiCore architecture combining LUT logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for register‑intensive and memory‑oriented functions.
• Logic capacity  4,160 logic elements (LEs) and up to 263,000 system gates provide mid-range programmable logic resources for custom digital functions.
• Embedded memory  Approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and small data buffers implemented in ESBs.
• I/O and interface support  92 user I/O pins with family-level support for MultiVolt I/O, advanced I/O standards and high-speed memory interfaces; programmable output slew-rate and individual tri-state control help manage signal integrity.
• Clock management  Flexible clock resources including up to four PLLs, a built-in low-skew clock tree and features for phase/ delay control, enabling deterministic system timing.
• Power and low-power options  Designed for low-power operation with an ESB programmable power-saving mode and a defined supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V.
• Package and operating range  Surface-mount 144-LQFP (144-TQFP 20×20 footprint) package; commercial-grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation.

Typical Applications

• System integration and SOPC designs  Use embedded system blocks and LUT logic to implement on-chip FIFOs, dual-port RAM and content-addressable memory for compact system-on-programmable-chip implementations.
• High-speed memory interfaces  Deploy the device where support for external high-speed memories such as DDR SDRAM is required alongside programmable logic for control and buffering.
• PCI and peripheral bridging  Leverage the family-level support for PCI Local Bus signaling and high-performance I/O to implement bus interfaces and protocol bridging.
• Custom control and data-path logic  Implement register-intensive and combinatorial functions using LUT logic and product-term resources for application-specific processing and control tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated architecture: Combines LUT logic, product-term logic and ESBs to reduce external component count and simplify board-level design.
• Balanced logic and memory: 4,160 logic elements paired with ~53,248 bits of embedded RAM allow simultaneous implementation of control logic and local data storage.
• Flexible, high-performance I/O: 92 I/O pins with MultiVolt support and programmable I/O controls enable direct interfacing with a variety of external devices and memory types.
• Deterministic clocking: Up to four PLLs and a low-skew clock distribution support reliable timing for synchronous designs and high-speed interfaces.
• Commercial-grade, surface-mount package: 144-LQFP surface-mount package and 0 °C to 85 °C operating range suit a wide array of commercial embedded applications.
