EP20K100QC240-3V

The EP20K100QC240-3V is an Intel APEX-20K® field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 240-BFQFP surface-mount package. It implements a MultiCore-style architecture combining look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory blocks, and is targeted at commercial embedded and system integration applications that require moderate logic density with on-chip RAM and extensive I/O.

This commercial-grade device provides 4,160 logic elements, approximately 53 Kbits of embedded memory, and 189 user I/O pins in a 240-pin BFQFP package, delivering a compact, integrated programmable-logic option for mid-density designs.

Key Features

• Core / Logic 4,160 logic elements and approximately 263,000 system gates provide mid-range programmable logic capacity suitable for register-intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Embedded Memory (ESB) Approximately 53,248 bits (≈53 Kbits) of on-chip RAM for FIFO, dual-port RAM, and other embedded memory needs as provided by the APEX 20K family architecture.
• I/O & Interfaces 189 user I/O pins supporting MultiVolt I/O interface levels (family-level support) to interface with a range of supply domains; programmable output slew-rate and individual tri-state control are available at the family level.
• Clock Management Family-level clock resources include flexible clock management with support for phase-locked loops (PLLs), multiple global clocks, and programmable phase/delay shifting features.
• Power & Voltage Internal/operating supply specified at 2.375 V to 2.625 V for this device; the APEX 20K family provides design options for low-power operation and MultiVolt I/O interfaces.
• Package & Mounting 240-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 240-PQFP, 32×32) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB assemblies where pin count and board footprint are important.
• Operating Range & Grade Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards & Test RoHS compliant; the APEX 20K family includes embedded JTAG boundary-scan circuitry at the device-family level for in-system test and debug.

Typical Applications

• Communications and Networking Use as protocol glue, custom packet handling, or interface bridging where moderate logic density and significant I/O are required.
• Embedded Control Systems Implement control logic, state machines, and I/O aggregation for commercial embedded products that operate within a 0 °C to 85 °C range.
• Memory Interface and Buffering On-chip RAM and ESB capabilities enable FIFO and dual-port RAM implementations for buffering and memory-mapped bridges.
• Prototyping and System Integration Platform for validating mid-density designs and integrating digital functions before scaling within the APEX 20K device family.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range capacity: 4,160 logic elements and approximately 263,000 system gates provide a compact solution for designs that need more than small CPLDs but less than very large FPGAs.
• On-chip embedded memory: Approximately 53 Kbits of embedded RAM supports FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and memory-intensive logic without external components.
• Extensive I/O count: 189 user I/O pins in a 240-pin BFQFP package facilitate connectivity to multiple peripherals and buses while preserving board real estate.
• Flexible clocking: Family clock-management features including PLLs and multiple global clocks enable precise timing control for synchronous designs.
• Commercial-temperature suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation, aligning with a wide range of commercial electronic products.
• RoHS compliance: Environmentally compliant for assembly and distribution in global commercial markets.
