EP20K100QI240-2

The EP20K100QI240-2 is an APEX-20K family FPGA offering a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory, and I/O resources for industrial embedded designs. It implements the APEX MultiCore architecture, which integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory blocks for flexible implementation of register- and memory-intensive functions.

Targeted at industrial applications, this surface-mount FPGA delivers approximately 263,000 system gates, 4,160 logic elements, and around 53 Kbits of on-chip RAM, making it suitable for control, communications, and system-integration tasks where deterministic I/O and operating temperature range matter.

Key Features

• Core & architecture  MultiCore architecture combining LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for flexible mapping of combinatorial and memory functions.
• Logic capacity  Approximately 263,000 gates and 4,160 logic elements to implement mid-range logic designs and state machines.
• Embedded memory  Total on-chip RAM of 53,248 bits (approximately 53 Kbits) suitable for FIFOs, small buffers, and local data storage.
• I/O resources  189 I/O pins provide broad external connectivity for sensors, peripherals, and external memories; family-level I/O features include support for multiple signaling standards and programmable I/O options.
• Clock and timing  Family-level clock management includes multiple PLLs, a built-in low-skew clock tree, and features for programmable clock phase and delay control.
• Power and supply  Specified internal voltage supply range 2.375 V to 2.625 V, with family features for low-power operation and programmable ESB power modes.
• Package and mounting  240-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 240-PQFP, 32 × 32) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board integration.
• Operating conditions  Industrial-grade device rated for −40 °C to 100 °C operation and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control  Implement motor control logic, protocol translation, and deterministic I/O handling within the specified industrial temperature range.
• Communications equipment  Use the on-chip logic and I/O resources for packet processing, interface bridging, and timing-critical tasks.
• Embedded system integration  Combine logic, embedded memory, and configurable I/O to consolidate glue logic, buffering, and system glue into a single device.
• Test and measurement  Leverage the device’s logic density and programmable clocks for custom timing, data capture, and signal conditioning applications.

Unique Advantages

• Configurable mid-range logic density: 4,160 logic elements and roughly 263,000 gates provide a practical balance between capacity and board-level cost for many embedded designs.
• On-chip memory for buffering: About 53 Kbits of embedded RAM supports FIFOs and local storage without external memory for many control and data-path functions.
• Robust I/O count: 189 user I/Os enable broad peripheral connectivity while keeping board routing and connector options flexible.
• Industrial temperature rating: Specified operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for reliable performance in industrial environments.
• Compact, surface-mount packaging: 240-BFQFP (240-PQFP, 32 × 32) package simplifies PCB layout for space-constrained applications.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free assembly and regulatory alignment.
