EP20K160EQC208-2

The EP20K160EQC208-2 is an APEX-20KE family FPGA offered in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package. It integrates 6,400 logic elements and approximately 0.08 Mbits of embedded memory (81,920 total RAM bits) with 143 user I/O pins, targeting commercial embedded designs that require flexible on-chip logic, memory, and I/O interfacing.

Built on the APEX 20K architecture, the device is suited for applications that need a balance of integration and power efficiency within a 0 °C to 85 °C operating range and a 1.71 V–1.89 V internal supply window.

Key Features

• Core architecture MultiCore APEX-20K architecture combining LUT-based logic and product-term logic for register- and combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Logic resources 6,400 logic elements and approximately 404,000 system gates for programmable logic implementation and mid-density designs.
• Embedded memory Approximately 81,920 bits of on-chip RAM (embedded system blocks) usable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and other memory functions.
• I/O capability 143 user I/Os with MultiVolt I/O interface support to interoperate with a range of external voltage levels (series supports 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V I/Os).
• Clock management Support for up to four PLLs, built-in low-skew clock tree and multiple global clock signals for robust clock distribution and phase control.
• Package and mounting 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28) surface-mount package suited for compact board designs.
• Power and thermal Designed for low-power operation with an internal supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards and high-speed I/O Series-level features include support for LVDS and other high-speed I/O standards, along with programmable output slew-rate control and I/O pull-ups during configuration.
• RoHS compliant Device is RoHS compliant for lead-free manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control Implement motor control logic, sensor aggregation, and custom timing functions using on-chip logic and memory.
• Embedded communications Perform protocol bridging, buffering, and I/O-level translation leveraging MultiVolt I/O and embedded RAM for FIFO queues.
• Interface and peripheral controllers Create custom peripheral interfacing and local bus controllers where mixed-voltage I/O and moderate logic density are required.
• Prototyping and proof-of-concept Use the APEX-20KE device to validate system architectures that need reprogrammable logic and embedded memory resources.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced integration: Combines 6,400 logic elements with embedded memory to implement both logic-rich and memory-buffered functions on a single device, reducing external components.
• Flexible I/O support: MultiVolt I/O compatibility enables direct interfacing to a wide range of external devices without extensive level-shifting circuitry.
• Deterministic clocking: Multiple PLLs and a low-skew clock tree simplify clock distribution for designs that require synchronized domains.
• Compact packaging: 208-BFQFP surface-mount package offers a space-efficient footprint for board-level integration.
• Commercial temperature rating: Specified 0 °C to 85 °C range and RoHS compliance support standard commercial product lifecycles and manufacturing flows.
