EP20K200CQ208C8

The EP20K200CQ208C8 is an APEX-20K® Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Altera, provided in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package. It combines programmable logic, on-chip memory, and a substantial I/O count to address commercial electronic designs that require configurable logic and local data storage.

With a commercial temperature rating and RoHS compliance, this device is suited for a range of commercial embedded systems and communications equipment where a mid-range programmable solution is required.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 8,320 logic elements and approximately 526,000 gates provide capacity for custom digital logic and moderate-complexity designs.
• Embedded Memory — Total on-chip RAM of 106,496 bits (approximately 0.106 Mbits) for buffering, small FIFOs, and local data storage.
• I/O Count — 144 user I/O pins to connect peripherals, sensors, and external interfaces.
• Power — Designed to operate from a 1.71 V to 1.89 V supply range to match low-voltage system requirements.
• Package & Mounting — 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB integration.
• Temperature & Compliance — Commercial operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS-compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control logic, data handling, and glue logic for appliances and embedded products.
• Communications Equipment — Provide programmable interface bridging, protocol handling, and small packet buffering using on-chip RAM.
• Prototyping and Development — Validate algorithms and hardware architectures that require reconfigurable logic and moderate I/O counts.
• User Interface and Control — Manage custom UI logic, peripheral coordination, and sensor interfacing in commercial electronics.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Logic Capacity: 8,320 logic elements and ~526,000 gates enable implementation of moderate-complexity digital designs without external logic expansion.
• On-Chip Memory for Local Storage: 106,496 bits (~0.106 Mbits) of embedded RAM reduce the need for external memory in buffering and small-data use cases.
• Generous I/O Count: 144 I/O pins support multiple interfaces and peripheral connections from a single device.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP, 28×28) simplifies board layout and supports dense PCB designs.
• Low-Voltage Operation: 1.71 V–1.89 V supply compatibility for low-voltage system architectures.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Rated 0 °C–85 °C and RoHS compliant for commercial manufacturing and deployment.
