EP20K160EQC240-2X

The EP20K160EQC240-2X is an Altera APEX-20KE® field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 240-lead BQFP package, designed for commercial embedded logic applications. It provides a mid-density programmable fabric with 6,400 logic elements, approximately 0.082 Mbits of embedded memory and up to 175 I/O pins for flexible system integration.

Packaged for surface-mount assembly and rated for commercial temperature operation, this FPGA supports single-supply operation between 1.71 V and 1.89 V and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for volume applications where board-level integration and regulatory compliance are required.

Key Features

• Core Logic  6,400 logic elements provide the programmable fabric needed for implementing custom logic, state machines and glue logic.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM of 81,920 bits (approximately 0.082 Mbits) to support small buffers, FIFOs and register storage without external memory.
• I/O Density  Up to 175 I/O pins enable broad connectivity to peripherals, sensors and external logic devices.
• Power Supply  Operates from a core voltage range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V, suitable for designs targeting this supply domain.
• Package & Mounting  240-lead BQFP package (supplier package indicated as 240-PQFP, 32×32) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB layouts.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade device specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation, matching typical commercial product requirements.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant to support regulatory requirements for electronic assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic density: 6,400 logic elements strike a balance between capacity and cost for mid-range programmable designs.
• On-chip memory for localized buffering: Approximately 0.082 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces dependence on external memory for small data structures and control logic.
• High I/O count: 175 programmable I/Os simplify board-level connectivity and reduce the need for external I/O expanders.
• Compact surface-mount package: 240-BQFP / 240-PQFP (32×32) enables dense PCB placement while retaining accessible lead spacing for assembly and rework.
• Regulatory-ready: RoHS compliance aids in meeting environmental and manufacturing requirements for many production programs.
