EP20K200CQ208C8ES

The EP20K200CQ208C8ES is an APEX-20KC® family field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. It implements the MultiCore architecture that combines look-up table (LUT) logic with embedded memory blocks (ESBs) to support register-intensive functions and memory-centric designs.

With 8,320 logic elements, approximately 106,496 bits of on-chip RAM, and a maximum system gate count of 526,000, this commercial-grade FPGA targets applications that need dense logic, embedded memory functions (for example FIFO, dual-port RAM, and CAM), and flexible I/O on a 1.8 V-class core supply.

Key Features

• Core architecture  MultiCore architecture integrating LUT-based logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to balance register-heavy logic and on-chip memory functions.
• Logic resources  8,320 logic elements (LEs) and a maximum of 526,000 system gates provide substantial programmable logic capacity for mid-density designs.
• Embedded memory  Approximately 106,496 bits of on-chip RAM usable without reducing available logic—suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAM implementations.
• I/O and package  136 I/O pins in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package, enabling compact PCB integration with a commercial-temperature-rated device.
• Power and supply  Core voltage specified from 1.71 V to 1.89 V (nominal internal VCCINT ~1.8 V) and copper interconnect design for lower power operation.
• Clock management  Architecture supports flexible clocking including multiple PLLs and a built-in low-skew clock tree for deterministic timing distribution.
• Operating conditions  Commercial temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS-compliant manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Embedded systems and prototyping  Implement control logic, glue logic, or system prototypes that require a balance of LUT resources and on-chip memory.
• Memory buffering and data handling  Use ESBs to build FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAMs for buffering, packet handling, or temporary storage in data paths.
• Interface bridging and I/O aggregation  Aggregate and adapt multiple peripheral interfaces or implement protocol translation leveraging flexible I/O and programmable logic.
• High-performance control logic  Implement timing-critical control, counters, and arithmetic functions using dedicated carry and cascade chains in the architecture.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory density: 8,320 logic elements with approximately 106,496 bits of embedded RAM provide on-chip resources for mixed compute and storage tasks, reducing external memory dependency.
• Deterministic clocking: Integrated clock management and low-skew clock tree enable stable timing for synchronous system designs.
• Low-voltage core operation: Nominal 1.8 V core supply and copper interconnect contribute to reduced power consumption for commercial designs.
• Compact board-level integration: 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package allows high functionality in a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained PCBs.
• Design flexibility: LUT-based logic plus ESBs and dedicated arithmetic/cascade chains support a wide variety of digital functions without heavy external logic.
• RoHS compliant: Manufactured to meet RoHS requirements for environmental compliance.
