EP20K100TC144-3N

The EP20K100TC144-3N is an APEX-20K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 144-LQFP surface-mount package. It implements a MultiCore architecture that integrates lookup-table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory blocks for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) style designs.

With 4,160 logic elements, approximately 53,248 bits of embedded RAM and 101 user I/O pins, this device targets compact system integration tasks that require flexible logic, embedded memory and multi-voltage I/O support while operating from a 2.375 V to 2.625 V supply.

Key Features

• Core Architecture MultiCore architecture integrating LUT-based logic and product-term logic for a mix of register-intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Logic Resources 4,160 logic elements (LEs) providing the programmable fabric needed for custom digital functions.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 53,248 bits of on-chip RAM for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and small-buffer storage.
• I/O Capacity & Flexibility 101 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support (2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5.0 V) for direct interfacing to multiple logic families.
• Clock and Timing Integrated clock management features from the APEX 20K family including multiple PLLs, a low-skew clock tree and support for multiple global clocks for predictable timing distribution.
• Performance Metrics Device-level resource equivalence to approximately 263,000 system gates (maximum), enabling significant functional density in a compact package.
• Power and Voltage Designed for low-power operation with an internal supply operating in the 2.375 V to 2.625 V range.
• Package & Mounting Surface-mount 144-LQFP (144-TQFP 20×20 footprint) for compact board-level integration.
• Commercial Temperature Range Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation.
• Compliance RoHS-compliant for modern assembly and regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• System Integration / SOPC: Implement custom system functions and on-chip integration of logic and memory to consolidate discrete components.
• Memory Interface and Buffering: Use embedded RAM blocks for FIFO and buffer implementations in designs that interface with external memories.
• Bus and I/O Bridging: Deploy the device for PCI/legacy bus interfacing and multi-voltage signal translation using its MultiVolt I/O capability.
• High-Speed I/O Designs: Implement LVDS or other high-speed signaling and local, low-skew clocking for timing-sensitive I/O paths.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, programmable logic in a small package: 4,160 logic elements and roughly 53kbits of embedded RAM deliver substantial functionality in a 144-LQFP footprint to reduce board area.
• Flexible I/O interfacing: MultiVolt I/O support (2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5.0 V) enables direct connection to a wide range of peripheral voltage domains without complex level-shifting.
• Integrated clock management: On-chip PLLs and a low-skew clock tree simplify clock distribution and reduce external components for cleaner timing design.
• Designed for low-power operation: Internal supply centered around 2.5 V and family-level power-saving features help control board-level power budgets.
• Surface-mount, industry-standard package: 144-LQFP (20×20) provides a familiar footprint for streamlined PCB layout and assembly processes.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliance: Specified 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliance support mainstream product development and manufacturing.
