EP20K100FC324-2X

The EP20K100FC324-2X is an APEX-20K® field programmable gate array from Altera, delivered in a 324-ball BGA package. It provides a compact, commercial‑grade FPGA platform combining a moderate logic capacity, on-chip RAM, and a high I/O count for implementing custom digital functions in commercial electronic designs.

This device is suitable for designers who need reprogrammable logic, flexible I/O, and on-chip memory within a surface‑mount 19×19 324‑FBGA footprint and a commercial operating range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Provides 4,160 logic elements and approximately 263,000 gates to implement combinational and sequential logic functions.
• Embedded Memory — Includes approximately 53 Kbits of on‑chip RAM for lookup tables, FIFOs, and small data buffers.
• I/O and Package — 252 user I/O pins in a 324‑BGA package (supplier package: 324‑FBGA, 19×19) designed for surface‑mount PCB assembly.
• Power — Single supply operating range from 2.375 V to 2.625 V to match target system voltage domains.
• Operating Range — Commercial temperature grade rated for 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Regulatory & Mounting — RoHS compliant and provided in a surface‑mount BGA package for automated assembly processes.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control and Glue Logic — Implement custom control functions, protocol adaptation, and logic glue between digital subsystems in commercial equipment.
• Consumer and Commercial Electronics — Integrate interface logic, peripheral management, or custom feature blocks in consumer devices operating within commercial temperature limits.
• Prototyping and Small-Scale Production — Use as a reprogrammable building block for proof‑of‑concept designs and low-to-moderate volume products.
• Peripheral and Interface Management — Handle I/O aggregation, buffering, and simple data formatting tasks for connected modules and boards.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 4,160 logic elements paired with ~53 Kbits of embedded RAM provide a practical combination for common commercial FPGA tasks without excess cost or complexity.
• High I/O Count: 252 user I/Os enable integration of multiple peripherals and buses directly to the FPGA, reducing external glue logic.
• Compact BGA Footprint: The 324‑FBGA (19×19) package delivers dense connectivity in a surface‑mount form factor suitable for automated PCB assembly.
• Narrow Supply Range: Operation from 2.375 V to 2.625 V supports tight voltage domains and simplifies power-supply design for compatible systems.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant construction supports regulated manufacturing requirements.
• Commercial Operating Range: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C to match the needs of a wide range of commercial electronic products.
