EP20K160EQC240-1N

The EP20K160EQC240-1N is an APEX-20KE® field programmable gate array from Altera supplied in a 240-pin BQFP/PQFP package. It delivers a balanced set of resources—logic elements, embedded memory, and I/O—targeted at commercial embedded and digital logic designs.

With 6,400 logic elements, approximately 81,920 bits of on-chip RAM and 175 user I/Os, this device supports applications that require mid-range programmable logic capacity in a 240-pin surface-mount package. The device is specified for a supply voltage range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Provides 6,400 logic elements suitable for implementing medium-density digital designs.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 81,920 bits of on-chip RAM for buffering, state storage, or small data tables.
• I/O Count — 175 programmable I/O pins to support a wide range of external interfaces and signal routing requirements.
• Package and Mounting — Supplied in a 240-BQFP package (supplier lists 240-PQFP, 32×32); designed for surface-mount PCB assembly.
• Power Supply — Operates from a core voltage supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V, enabling designs targeted to that voltage domain.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C for commercial applications.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS-compliant to support lead-free manufacturing processes.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control and glue logic — Use the 6,400 logic elements and 175 I/Os to implement control state machines, bus bridging, and custom glue logic in commercial systems.
• Interface aggregation — Consolidate multiple peripheral interfaces into programmable fabric using the device’s abundant I/O resources.
• Small memory buffering and lookup — Leverage approximately 81,920 bits of on-chip RAM for small FIFOs, buffers, or lookup tables in data-path applications.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced resource mix: Combines 6,400 logic elements with on-chip RAM and 175 I/Os to address a variety of mid-density logic tasks without external glue components.
• Compact package options: 240-pin BQFP/PQFP packaging provides a high pin count in a space-efficient surface-mount form factor.
• Defined power envelope: Narrow core voltage range (1.71 V–1.89 V) simplifies power-supply planning for compatible systems.
• Commercial temperature suitability: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C for standard commercial deployments.
• RoHS compliant: Supports lead-free assembly and environmental compliance requirements.
