Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 4,160 logic elements (LEs) enabling complex logic implementations and combinatorial/regist er-intensive functions.
• Gate Count — Approximately 263,000 system gates for system-level integration and moderate-density designs.
• Embedded Memory — 53,248 total RAM bits (approximately 0.053 Mbits) for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and on-chip buffering.
• I/O Resources — 159 user I/O pins to support multiple external interfaces and peripheral connections.
• Family Architecture — APEX 20K MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for mixed logic and memory functions.
• Clock & Timing — Family-level support for flexible clock management including up to four PLLs, a built-in low-skew clock tree, and multiple global clock resources for synchronous designs.
• Power & Voltage — Specified operating supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V; family-level MultiVolt I/O interface support for interfacing with various external supply levels.
• Package & Mounting — 208-BFQFP (supplier package: 208-PQFP, 28×28 mm), surface-mount mounting for compact PCB integration.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and compliant with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Systems — On-chip logic and embedded RAM support control logic, buffering and protocol handling in commercial embedded designs.
• Memory Interface & Buffering — ESBs and on-chip RAM enable FIFO implementation, dual-port RAM, and intermediate buffering for external memory interfaces.
• High-speed I/O and Bus Bridging — The device’s I/O count and family I/O feature set suit FPGA-based interface logic, bus bridging, and peripheral connectivity.
• Prototyping and Custom Logic — Programmable LUT and product-term resources make the device suitable for custom logic development and proof-of-concept designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 4,160 logic elements combined with 53,248 RAM bits delivers a compact solution for mixed logic-and-memory functions, reducing external component needs.
• Flexible Clocking — Family-level PLLs and low-skew clock distribution help implement synchronous, multi-clock designs with predictable timing.
• Substantial I/O Count — 159 user I/O pins enable multiple peripheral connections without resorting to external I/O expanders.
• Commercial-ready Packaging — 208-BFQFP surface-mount package (208-PQFP, 28×28) simplifies PCB assembly and production for commercial products.
• Standards-oriented I/O — APEX 20K family I/O features support multiple interface standards and high-speed signaling options for versatile integration.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS-compliant materials ease regulatory acceptance for commercial products.
