EP20K100QC240-3N

The EP20K100QC240-3N is an APEX-20K field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 240-BFQFP package designed for programmable logic integration. It implements a MultiCore architecture combining look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for on-chip memory and product-term logic, enabling compact system-on-programmable-chip designs.

With 4,160 logic elements, 53,248 bits of embedded RAM and 189 I/O pins, this commercial-grade device targets applications that require flexible I/O, embedded memory, and scalable logic resources within a surface-mount 240-pin PQFP footprint.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  MultiCore architecture with LUT-based logic and product-term logic for a mix of register-intensive and combinatorial functions; device family documentation provides family-level features such as dedicated carry chains and hierarchical interconnect.
• Logic Capacity  4,160 logic elements (LEs) and up to 263,000 system gates as indicated for EP20K100 devices in the APEX-20K family.
• Embedded Memory  53,248 total on-chip RAM bits (approximately 0.05 Mbits) implemented via ESBs for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAM-style functions.
• I/O and Interfaces  189 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support in the APEX-20K family; family-level features include support for LVDS, PCI and high-speed memory interfaces.
• Clock Management  Family-level support for flexible clock management, including multiple phase-locked loops (PLLs), a low-skew clock tree and up to eight global clock signals.
• Power and Supply  Specified supply range 2.375 V to 2.625 V for the device; family supports low-power options and MultiVolt I/O interface compatibility.
• Package & Mounting  240-BFQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package: 240-PQFP, 32×32) suitable for compact PCB integration.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Custom logic and glue‑logic  Implement application-specific control, signal routing, and protocol conversion using the device’s LUT logic and product-term resources.
• Embedded memory buffering  Use ESB-based RAM for FIFOs, small dual-port buffers, and temporary storage in data-path or interface designs.
• High‑speed I/O interfaces  Deploy the device where multiple I/O standards and flexible voltage interfacing are required for peripheral or memory interfaces.
• System integration  Consolidate multiple discrete functions into a single programmable device to reduce board-level component count and simplify routing.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory resources: 4,160 logic elements paired with 53,248 bits of embedded RAM provide a practical mix for designs needing both combinational and storage resources.
• Flexible I/O count: 189 user I/O pins support dense external connectivity while enabling MultiVolt interfacing as provided by the APEX-20K family.
• System-level building blocks: Embedded system blocks (ESBs) allow implementation of FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM-style functions without external memory for many use cases.
• Compact surface-mount package: 240-pin PQFP footprint (32×32) delivers a high pin-count solution suitable for space-constrained PCBs.
• Commercial operating range: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation to meet standard commercial application environments.
• Standards and compliance: RoHS compliance supports designs targeting current environmental requirements.
