EP20K1500EBC652-1X

The EP20K1500EBC652-1X is a commercial-grade APEX-20KE family FPGA from Intel designed for system-on-programmable-chip integration. It implements a MultiCore architecture combining lookup-table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory blocks to support complex digital functions.

With 51,840 logic elements, approximately 0.44 Mbits of embedded memory, and 488 user I/O pins in a 652-BGA (45×45) package, this device is suited for dense logic integration, memory-centric functions, and high-pin-count interfacing in commercial embedded and communications applications.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic and product-term logic for register- and combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Large Logic Capacity  51,840 logic elements and approximately 2,392,000 system gates provide high-density programmable logic for complex designs.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 442,368 RAM bits of on-chip memory for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAM-style implementations without reducing available logic.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility  488 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O support and programmable clamp/slew-rate control to interface with multiple voltage domains.
• Clock Management  Built-in clock management including up to four PLLs, low-skew clock tree, and programmable features such as ClockLock, ClockBoost, and ClockShift for flexible clocking.
• High-speed I/O Support  Family-level support for high-speed interfaces and standards including LVDS performance and PCI-compliant operation for 3.3-V systems.
• Power and Supply  Designed for low-power operation with a specified voltage supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V.
• Package and Thermal  652-ball BGA (45×45) surface-mount package; commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• System Integration / SOPC  Implement embedded system blocks and integrate LUT and memory resources for custom system-on-chip functions.
• Memory Interface Controllers  Implement DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM interfaces and on-chip FIFOs using the device’s embedded memory resources.
