EP20K100TC144-1X

The EP20K100TC144-1X is an Intel APEX-20K family FPGA supplied in a 144-pin LQFP surface-mount package. It implements a MultiCore architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory blocks for compact programmable logic and memory integration.

This device targets commercial embedded designs that require moderate logic capacity, on-chip RAM, flexible I/O, and programmable clock management for system integration and custom logic functions.

Key Features

• Core architecture  MultiCore architecture combining LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for implementing both register- and memory-intensive functions.
• Logic capacity  4,160 logic elements (LEs) and up to 263,000 system gates provide capacity for mid-range programmable logic tasks.
• Embedded memory  Total of 53,248 on-chip RAM bits usable without reducing available logic; ESBs support FIFO, dual-port RAM, and CAM implementations.
• I/O and interface flexibility  101 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V signaling and programmable clamp and slew-rate control.
• Clock management  Flexible clocking with up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs), built-in low-skew clock tree, and features for clock phase/delay control and multiplication/division.
• Low-power design  Designed for low-power operation with support for 1.8 V and 2.5 V supply domains and ESB programmable power-saving modes.
• Advanced interconnect  Four-level FastTrack® interconnect architecture and dedicated carry chain for predictable, fast interconnect delays and arithmetic performance.
• Package and mounting  144-LQFP (144-TQFP, 20×20) surface-mount package; commercial grade with operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Supply voltage  Internal supply voltage VCCINT is 2.5 V; product supply range listed as 2.375 V to 2.625 V.

Typical Applications

• Embedded system integration  Implement on-chip memory, FIFOs, and custom logic to consolidate glue logic and system functions in compact embedded platforms.
• Memory interface controllers  Support for external high-speed memories and ESB memory primitives enables implementation of DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM interface logic.
• Custom I/O bridging and protocol glue  MultiVolt I/O support and programmable I/O features make the device suitable for bridging between different voltage domains and bus standards.
• Clocked data processing  Multiple PLLs and low-skew clocking support complex clocking requirements for synchronous logic and data-path designs.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated memory and logic: Embedded system blocks provide on-chip RAM and product-term logic, reducing external memory needs and BOM complexity.
• Flexible I/O voltage support: MultiVolt I/O compatibility enables direct interfacing with a range of device voltage levels without additional level-shifters.
• Programmable clocking: Up to four PLLs and clock-shifting features let designers tailor clock domains for complex timing and performance requirements.
• Predictable interconnect: Four-level FastTrack interconnect and dedicated carry chains simplify timing closure for arithmetic and routed logic paths.
• Compact surface-mount package: 144-LQFP surface-mount footprint supports PCB designs where board area and package standardization matter.
• Commercial temperature and supply support: Device is specified for commercial operating temperatures (0 °C to 85 °C) and defined supply ranges for system design planning.
