EP20K200CF484I8

The EP20K200CF484I8 is an Altera APEX-20KC® field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 484-BBGA surface-mount package. It combines a high I/O count and substantial on-chip resources to implement custom digital logic for industrial applications.

With 8,320 logic elements, approximately 0.106 Mbits of embedded RAM, 376 I/O pins and an industrial operating range, this device is designed for designs that require moderate-density programmable logic, extensive external interfacing, and reliable operation across -40 °C to 100 °C.

Key Features

• Core Logic: 8,320 logic elements and 526,000 equivalent gates provide programmable logic capacity for a broad range of custom digital functions.
• Configurable Logic Blocks: Structure supports flexible implementation of user logic while maintaining predictable resource counts for design planning.
• Embedded Memory: Approximately 106,496 bits (≈0.106 Mbits) of on-chip RAM to support buffers, FIFOs, and small data storage needs without external RAM.
• I/O Capacity: 376 I/O pins accommodate extensive external connectivity for sensors, peripherals, and high-channel-count interfaces.
• Package and Mounting: 484-BBGA (supplier package 484-FBGA, 23×23) surface-mount package for compact board-level integration.
• Power: Low-voltage core operation from 1.71 V to 1.89 V to match modern power-rail architectures.
• Temperature Range: Industrial-grade operation from -40 °C to 100 °C for use in demanding environments.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant for regulatory and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation: Implement custom control logic and I/O aggregation for PLCs, motor control interfaces, and factory automation equipment.
• Embedded Systems: Provide glue logic, protocol bridging, and application-specific acceleration in embedded controller designs.
• Communications Interfaces: Support multi-channel I/O and data alignment tasks where configurable logic and large pin-count are required.
• Test and Measurement: Enable flexible signal handling, timing generation, and data buffering in instrumentation and test equipment.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: 8,320 logic elements allow implementation of complex, custom logic without immediate need for external CPLDs or discrete logic.
• Large I/O Count: 376 I/O pins simplify board-level connectivity and reduce the need for external multiplexers or expanders.
• Industrial Temperature Rating: Rated from -40 °C to 100 °C for dependable operation in industrial environments.
• Compact Ball Grid Package: 484-BBGA surface-mount packaging supports high-density PCB layouts while maintaining robust electrical connections.
• Low-Voltage Core: 1.71–1.89 V supply supports integration with modern low-voltage power architectures.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance aligns with contemporary environmental and supply-chain requirements.
