EP20K100QC240-1

The EP20K100QC240-1 is a commercial-grade FPGA from Intel's APEX-20K family implementing the family’s MultiCore architecture and system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration concepts. It combines lookup-table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded memory to address embedded logic, memory-interface and I/O-rich design requirements.

With 4,160 logic elements, approximately 0.053 Mbits of embedded memory, and 189 I/O pins in a 240-BFQFP surface-mount package, this device fits applications that require balanced logic density, embedded memory and flexible board-level interfacing at commercial temperature ranges.

Key Features

• Core architecture: MultiCore architecture with LUT logic and product-term logic enabling register-intensive and combinatorial functions as described in the APEX-20K family.
• Logic capacity: 4,160 logic elements supporting up to 263,000 system gates for mid-range programmable logic implementations.
• Embedded memory: Approximately 0.053 Mbits (53,248 bits) of on-chip RAM for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and other embedded memory functions.
• I/O resources: 189 user I/O pins provided in the 240-BFQFP package to support I/O-heavy designs and board-level interfacing.
• Clock management: Family-level support for flexible clocking, including multiple PLLs, low-skew clock tree and programmable clock-phase/delay features (APEX-20K family capabilities).
• Power and voltage: Specified supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V for the device internal supply; APEX-20K family devices are designed for low-power operation with programmable power-saving options.
• Package and mounting: 240-BFQFP (supplier package 240-PQFP, 32×32) in a surface-mount form factor for standard PCB assembly processes.
• Commercial temperature range: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation to suit commercial applications.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded systems and SOPC integration: Combine logic, embedded RAM and system-level functions where on-chip memory and programmable logic simplify design partitioning.
• Memory-interface logic: Implement controllers, buffers and interface glue logic that benefit from the device’s embedded RAM resources and configurable logic elements.
• I/O-heavy designs: Use the 189 I/O pins in applications requiring multiple peripheral interfaces or dense board-level connectivity.
• Prototyping and system integration: Mid-range gate and logic-element counts make this device suitable for development platforms and proof-of-concept systems within commercial temperature limits.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory density: 4,160 logic elements paired with approximately 0.053 Mbits of embedded RAM provide a balance between combinational/registered logic and on-chip storage.
• System-level integration (SOPC): MultiCore architecture supports integration of lookup-table logic and embedded system blocks to reduce external component count for common embedded functions.
• Flexible interfacing: 189 I/O pins in a 240-BFQFP package enable varied board-level connectivity while maintaining a compact surface-mount footprint.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliance to meet standard commercial product requirements.
• Proven family capabilities: As a member of the APEX-20K family, the device benefits from documented clock management and I/O feature sets inherent to the family architecture.
