EP20K160EFC484-3AA

The EP20K160EFC484-3AA is a commercial-grade FPGA from the APEX 20K family, featuring a MultiCore architecture that integrates LUT-based logic, product-term logic and embedded memory blocks. With 6,400 logic elements, approximately 0.082 Mbits of embedded memory, and up to 316 user I/O pins, this device targets applications that require mid-range gate density, flexible I/O and on-chip memory resources.

Designed for system-level integration, the device offers a blend of programmable logic, embedded memory and clock management features well suited to communication interfaces, memory buffering and general-purpose programmable logic tasks within the 0 °C to 85 °C commercial temperature range.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for register-intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Logic Capacity  6,400 logic elements and approximately 404,000 gates to implement complex combinatorial and sequential logic.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 81,920 bits (≈0.082 Mbits) of on-chip RAM for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM-style implementations using ESBs.
• I/O and Packaging  316 user I/Os in a 484-BBGA (484-FBGA, 23×23) surface-mount package for dense board-level integration.
• Voltage and Power  Internal supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V; MultiVolt I/O interface support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5.0 V signaling modes per the APEX 20K family.
• Clock Management  Flexible clocking with family-level support for multiple PLLs, low-skew clock tree and programmable clock phase/delay features.
• Performance Interfaces  Family-level support for high-speed I/O standards and memory interfaces, with LVDS and other advanced I/O modes available in the APEX 20K architecture.
• Commercial Grade & Mounting  Surface-mount, commercial-grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation.

Typical Applications

• Interface Bridging and Protocol Conversion  Use the device’s flexible I/O and MultiVolt support to implement level translation, protocol conversion and interface bridging between diverse subsystems.
• Memory Controllers and Buffers  On-chip embedded memory (ESBs) enables implementation of FIFOs and buffering for DDR/SDRAM front-end functions and temporary data storage.
• Custom Logic and Control  Implement custom state machines, control logic and data-path processing using 6,400 logic elements and rich combinatorial resources.
• Prototyping and System Integration  Mid-range logic capacity and dense I/O in a compact FBGA package make the device suitable for board-level prototypes and integrated system designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory  6,400 logic elements paired with ~81,920 bits of embedded RAM provide a balanced platform for designs that require both computation and on-chip storage.
• Flexible I/O in a Compact Package  316 user I/Os in a 484-BBGA footprint deliver high pin count without a large board-area penalty.
• MultiVolt I/O Support  Support for multiple I/O voltage levels simplifies interfacing to a broad set of peripheral devices and memory technologies.
• Clocking and Timing Control  Family-level clock-management capabilities (multiple PLLs, low-skew clock tree, programmable phase/delay) enable precise timing control for synchronous systems.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability  Designed for commercial applications with specified operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C and surface-mount packaging for modern assembly processes.
