EP20K100FC144-2

The EP20K100FC144-2 is an APEX-20K series field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel, featuring the family’s MultiCore architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory blocks. This surface-mount 144-LQFP device provides a compact, commercial-grade solution for designs requiring on-chip logic, embedded RAM, and flexible I/O.

With approximately 4,160 logic elements, 53,248 bits of embedded memory, and 93 I/O pins, the device targets applications that need system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration, on-chip FIFO/dual-port RAM implementations, and multi-voltage I/O interfacing while operating over a commercial temperature range.

Key Features

• Core architecture  MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for memory and combinatorial functions.
• Logic capacity  Approximately 4,160 logic elements and support for up to 263,000 system gates for mid-density designs.
• Embedded memory  53,248 bits of on-chip RAM suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and small buffer implementations.
• I/O and interface flexibility  93 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support and programmable I/O features to interface with a range of external devices and memory types.
• Clock management  Flexible clock resources including multiple phase-locked loops (PLLs), a built-in low-skew clock tree, and support for multiple global clock signals and programmable clock shifting.
• Package and mounting  144-LQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package: 144-TQFP 20×20) optimized for compact board layouts.
• Power and voltage  Designed for low-power operation with an internal supply in the 2.375–2.625 V range and ESB-based programmable power-saving modes.
• Commercial temperature grade  Specified for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS-compliant for broad commercial deployments.

Typical Applications

• Embedded systems and SOPC prototypes  Use the integrated LUT logic and ESBs to implement system-level functions and on-chip memory for rapid prototyping and embedded control.
• Memory interface controllers  Implement interfaces and buffers for external memories (e.g., DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM) using on-chip RAM and high-speed I/O capabilities.
• High-speed data and transceiver logic  Leverage programmable I/O and LVDS-capable signaling options to build high-throughput data paths and serializers/deserializers.
• Bus and peripheral bridging  Create PCI/legacy bus interfaces and custom protocol bridges using the device’s flexible I/O and clocking features.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated MultiCore architecture: Reduces component count by combining LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory in a single FPGA.
• Balanced mid-range capacity: Around 4,160 logic elements and 53,248 bits of RAM provide the right density for many control, interface, and medium-complexity logic tasks without overprovisioning.
• Flexible I/O and clocking: MultiVolt I/O support plus multiple PLLs and global clocks simplify timing closure and multi-voltage interfacing on mixed-signal boards.
• Compact, surface-mount package: 144-LQFP footprint helps preserve PCB area while offering a full complement of I/O for board-level integration.
• Commercial-grade and RoHS-compliant: Suitable for a wide range of commercial electronics projects and compliant with environmental regulations.
