EP20K100ETC144-2N

The EP20K100ETC144-2N is an APEX-20KE® FPGA from Intel designed for medium-density programmable logic applications. It implements a MultiCore architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded memory to consolidate system functions on a single programmable device.

With 4,160 logic elements, approximately 53k bits of embedded RAM, and 92 user I/O pins in a 144-LQFP surface-mount package, this commercial-grade FPGA is positioned for consumer, communications and instrumentation designs that require integrated memory, flexible I/O and a compact package. The device operates over a 1.71 V to 1.89 V supply range and a 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature.

Key Features

• MultiCore architecture: Integrates LUT-based logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks to support register-intensive and combinatorial functions.
• On-chip memory: Approximately 53,248 bits of embedded RAM suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and small buffering tasks.
• Logic capacity: 4,160 logic elements and approximately 263,000 system gates providing medium-density programmable logic resources.
• I/O capability: 92 user I/O pins in a 144-LQFP package enabling flexible peripheral and external-memory interfacing.
• Clock and timing features: Built-in clock management and support for multiple global clocks and PLLs as described in the APEX-20K family specification.
• Low-voltage operation: Optimized for supply operation in the 1.71 V to 1.89 V range for low-power system designs.
• Package and mounting: 144-LQFP (surface-mount) package, supplier device package listed as 144-TQFP (20×20), suitable for compact PCB layouts.
• Commercial temperature grade: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control: Implement control logic, state machines and custom interfaces using the device’s LUTs and embedded RAM for temporary storage and buffering.
• Communications and networking: Use the FPGA’s multiple clocks, PLL support and flexible I/O to handle protocol interfacing and data-path processing.
• Consumer and instrumentation: Integrate signal processing, peripheral management and user-interface logic within a single surface-mount package to reduce board space.
• Memory interfacing and buffering: Leverage the embedded RAM blocks for FIFOs and dual-port RAM functions in designs that require on-chip buffering.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated memory and logic: On-chip embedded RAM combined with 4,160 logic elements reduces the need for external memory and discrete glue logic.
• Medium-density capacity: Approximately 263,000 gates of system logic make it suitable for consolidating multiple mid-sized functions into a single device.
• Compact surface-mount package: 144-LQFP package offers a balance of I/O count (92 pins) and PCB footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Low-voltage operation: Narrow supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V supports lower-power system topologies.
• Commercial temperature suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation for typical consumer and commercial applications.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to lead-free and hazardous-substance directives for compliant manufacturing processes.
