EP20K100ETC144-2X

The EP20K100ETC144-2X is an Intel APEX-20KE® family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 144‑lead LQFP package optimized for commercial applications. It combines a MultiCore architecture with look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to implement register‑intensive logic and on‑chip memory functions.

This device is suited for embedded and communications designs that require mid-range logic capacity, on‑chip RAM, and flexible I/O support — delivering integrated programmable logic, memory and clock-management features in a compact surface‑mount package.

Key Features

• Core density — 4,160 logic elements and approximately 263,000 system gates provide mid-range programmable logic capacity for custom digital functions.
• Embedded memory — approximately 53,248 bits of on‑chip RAM via ESBs to implement FIFOs, dual‑port RAM and other memory structures without reducing available logic.
• I/O capability — 92 user I/O pins suitable for a variety of interface roles, with MultiVolt I/O support noted in the APEX 20K family documentation.
• Clock management — flexible clocking architecture (family datasheet documents support for multiple PLLs and global clocks) for low‑skew distribution and clock phase control.
• Low‑power operation — designed for 1.71 V to 1.89 V core supply to support reduced power consumption in commercial designs.
• Packaging and mounting — surface‑mount 144‑LQFP package (supplier device package 144‑TQFP, 20 × 20 mm) for compact board layouts.
• Commercial temperature grade — specified operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant for standard commercial applications.
• Embedded system block (ESB) capabilities — ESBs in the APEX 20K family implement memory functions and can be used for combinatorial product‑term logic.

Typical Applications

• Communications & Networking — interface logic, protocol glue and mid‑speed packet processing that benefit from integrated logic and on‑chip RAM.
• High‑speed memory interfaces — designs requiring local FIFOs and memory buffering for external DDR/ZBT memory interfaces as supported by the APEX 20K family.
• Custom digital controllers — motor drives, sensor aggregation and control logic implementations that use the device’s LUT logic and ESB memory.
• Prototype and system integration — compact, commercial‑grade FPGA for proof‑of‑concept, evaluation boards and small to mid‑volume production designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory — 4,160 logic elements paired with ~53 kbits of embedded RAM supports designs that need both combinatorial logic and local data storage.
• Integrated system features — APEX 20K MultiCore architecture and ESBs enable implementation of FIFOs, dual‑port RAM and product‑term logic within the FPGA fabric.
• Flexible interfacing — 92 I/O pins and family‑level MultiVolt I/O support facilitate mixed‑voltage interfacing with surrounding components.
• Compact, surface‑mount package — 144‑LQFP (20 × 20 mm) provides a small footprint for space‑constrained PCBs while maintaining adequate I/O count.
• Commercial suitability and compliance — rated 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant for typical commercial product deployments.
