EP20K100FC144-2X

The EP20K100FC144-2X is an Intel APEX-20K® family FPGA supplied in a 144-LQFP surface-mount package and specified for commercial temperature operation (0 °C to 85 °C). It implements a MultiCore architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory blocks (ESBs) to support register‑intensive and memory‑centric functions.

With 4,160 logic elements, 53,248 bits of embedded RAM and up to 93 user I/O pins, this device is suited to designs that require flexible I/O, on-chip memory, and programmable logic integration—such as system integration, memory interface logic, and peripheral interfacing where compact package and surface-mount assembly are required.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  MultiCore architecture combining LUT logic and product-term logic to implement register‑intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Logic Capacity  4,160 logic elements and approximately 263,000 maximum system gates for moderate-density programmable logic tasks.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM of 53,248 bits provided by embedded system blocks (ESBs) suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAM implementations.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility  Up to 93 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support; device family features include support for standards such as PCI at 3.3 V operation and options for LVDS and other high-speed I/O standards in the APEX-20K family.
• Clock and Timing  Flexible clock management available across the APEX-20K family, including up to four PLLs, multiple global clocks, and features to reduce clock skew and provide programmable clock phase/delay.
• Power and Supply  Internal supply voltage compatibility in APEX-20K devices and specified device supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V for this part number.
• Package and Assembly  Surface-mount 144-LQFP (144-TQFP 20×20) package for compact PCB layouts and automated assembly.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Rated for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for commercial-grade applications.
• Standards and Testability  Includes boundary-scan JTAG capability as provided in the APEX-20K family for design test access.

Typical Applications

• Memory Interface Controllers  Implement DDR SDRAM or ZBT SRAM controllers and buffering logic using the device’s embedded RAM and flexible I/O features.
• Peripheral and Bus Bridging  Create PCI 3.3-V interface logic and custom peripheral bridges leveraging the APEX-20K family’s PCI support and MultiVolt I/O capability.
• Data Buffering and FIFO Management  Use ESB blocks to build FIFOs and dual-port RAM for streaming data applications and temporary storage on-chip.
• Embedded System Integration  Combine LUT-based logic, ESB memory, and clock management to integrate control, glue logic, and I/O timing functions in compact systems.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory  4,160 logic elements paired with 53,248 bits of embedded RAM lets you allocate resources between logic and storage without external memory for many mid-density designs.
• Flexible I/O Strategy  Support for MultiVolt I/O and a substantial number of user I/O pins enables interfacing across multiple voltage domains and peripheral standards.
• Programmable Clocking  On-chip clock management features in the APEX-20K family (including PLLs and clock-shift capabilities) simplify timing distribution and phase control.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package  144-LQFP surface-mount package supports high-density PCB designs and automated assembly processes.
• Commercial Temperature Range  Specified 0 °C to 85 °C operation aligns with standard commercial electronics environments and system requirements.
• Vendor Ecosystem  Part of the APEX-20K device family, providing a consistent architectural approach for designs that may scale within the family.
