EP20K200CQ240C7

The EP20K200CQ240C7 is an APEX-20KC® field programmable gate array optimized for designs requiring balanced logic density, embedded memory, and flexible I/O. Based on a MultiCore architecture with LUT-based logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs), it targets high-performance embedded and communications applications that need programmable logic, on-chip RAM, and versatile interface support.

This device delivers 8,320 logic elements, approximately 106,496 bits of embedded RAM, and 168 user I/O pins in a 240-pin BFQFP package, operating from a 1.71 V to 1.89 V supply and rated for commercial temperature use (0 °C to 85 °C). RoHS-compliant construction supports modern environmental requirements.

Key Features

• Core architecture: MultiCore architecture integrating look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded memory for register-intensive functions and programmable system blocks.
• Logic density: 8,320 logic elements and a device gate count of 526,000, enabling mid-range programmable logic implementations.
• Embedded memory: Approximately 106,496 bits of on-chip RAM and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM-style functions.
• I/O and signaling: 168 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V interfaces, and advanced I/O features described for the APEX-20KC family such as LVDS and PCI support.
• Clock and timing: On-chip clock management including up to two PLLs for clock multiplication/division and low-skew clock routing.
• Power supply and low-power design: Internal supply around 1.8 V (device supply specified 1.71 V to 1.89 V) and copper interconnect technology intended to reduce power consumption.
• Package and temperature: Surface-mount 240-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 240-PQFP 32×32) rated for commercial operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards and compliance: RoHS-compliant manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control systems: Implement custom control logic, state machines, and peripheral bridging using the device’s LUT-based logic and on-chip RAM.
• Memory interface controllers: Build controllers and buffering for external memories—leveraging ESBs for FIFO and dual-port RAM implementations.
• Communications equipment: Implement protocol bridging, data formatting, and I/O serialization with MultiVolt I/O and high-speed signaling support in the APEX-20KC family.
• Prototyping and custom logic: Use the device for mid-density FPGA prototyping, evaluation boards, and product differentiation where 8,320 logic elements and substantial embedded RAM are required.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range resources: Combines 8,320 logic elements with approximately 106,496 bits of embedded RAM for designs that need both logic and on-chip memory.
• Flexible I/O voltage support: MultiVolt I/O capability (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V) simplifies interfacing to a variety of peripherals and subsystems.
• Clock management flexibility: On-chip PLLs and low-skew clock routing support complex timing requirements and multiple clock domains.
• Compact package: 240-pin BFQFP (32×32) package provides a dense pinout in a surface-mount form factor suitable for many PCB designs.
• Environmentally compliant: RoHS-compliant manufacturing supports regulatory and environmental goals.
