EP20K100ETC144-2

The EP20K100ETC144-2 is an Intel APEX-20KE field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 144-pin LQFP surface-mount package. It delivers mid-density programmable logic capacity with integrated on-chip memory and flexible I/O for commercial embedded designs.

Part of the APEX 20K family, the device is built on a MultiCore architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks. Key device characteristics include 4,160 logic elements, 53,248 bits of embedded RAM, approximately 263,000 system gates, 92 user I/O pins, a 1.71 V–1.89 V supply range and a commercial operating temperature of 0 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Core architecture  MultiCore family architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks for mixed register-intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Logic capacity  4,160 logic elements and approximately 263,000 system gates provide mid-range programmable logic for control, glue logic and data-path functions.
• On-chip memory  Total embedded RAM of 53,248 bits supports FIFOs, dual-port RAM and other memory functions without reducing available logic resources.
• I/O and interface flexibility  92 user I/O pins with APEX 20K family I/O features such as MultiVolt interface support and programmable output controls for interfacing with a range of voltage domains.
• Clock management  Series-level clock resources include support for multiple phase-locked loops (PLLs) and multiple global clock signals to manage complex timing domains.
• Power and supply  Operates from a 1.71 V to 1.89 V supply and includes family-level low-power design features and programmable ESB power-saving modes.
• Package and grade  Surface-mount 144-LQFP package (supplier package 144-TQFP, 20×20) with commercial-grade operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C; RoHS-compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications & Networking  Protocol bridging, interface logic and buffering where mid-density logic and on-chip RAM are needed to manage data flow and timing.
• Embedded Control  Motor control, system control, and peripheral management that require configurable logic and multiple I/O domains.
• Memory Interfaces & Buffers  Local buffering and FIFO implementation using the device’s embedded RAM for temporary storage between subsystems.
• Prototyping & Development  Board-level prototyping and proof-of-concept designs that benefit from a commercially graded, surface-mount FPGA with moderate logic and I/O counts.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory  4,160 logic elements combined with 53,248 bits of embedded RAM support mixed logic-plus-memory designs without immediate need for external RAM.
• Flexible I/O  92 user I/O pins and APEX 20K family I/O features provide options for interfacing across multiple voltage domains and signaling standards.
• Integrated clocking resources  Family-level PLLs and multiple global clocks simplify timing management for multi-domain designs.
• Commercial-grade package  144-LQFP surface-mount package and a 0 °C to 85 °C operating range make the device suitable for a broad set of commercial electronic products.
• RoHS compliant  Conforms to RoHS environmental requirements to support lead-free assembly processes.
• Manufacturer pedigree  Part of the Intel APEX 20K family, with series-level documentation and architecture details available to support design integration.
