EP20K200EFI484-3

The EP20K200EFI484-3 is an Intel APEX-20KE® field programmable gate array (FPGA) packaged in a 484-ball BGA. It implements the APEX 20K MultiCore architecture combining lookup-table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for on-chip memory and logic functions. This device targets applications requiring dense logic, flexible I/O, and embedded memory integration for system-level designs.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 8,320 logic elements (LEs) providing up to 526,000 maximum system gates for medium-density programmable logic designs.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 106,496 bits of on-chip RAM supported by ESBs that can implement FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAM functions.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility 376 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V signaling and advanced I/O standards support (LVDS, PCI at 3.3 V, etc.).
• Clock Management Flexible clock resources including up to four PLLs, a built-in low-skew clock tree, and features such as ClockLock, ClockBoost, and programmable phase/delay shifting.
• Power Designed for low-power operation with an internal supply voltage range of approximately 1.71 V to 1.89 V and ESB power-saving modes.
• Package and Mounting Surface-mount 484-BBGA package (supplier device package: 484-FBGA, 23×23) suitable for compact board layouts.
• Industrial Temperature Range Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployments in industrial environments.
• Standards and Memory Support I/O capable of supporting high-speed external memories and standards such as DDR SDRAM and PCI (3.3 V, 33/66 MHz) where applicable.

Typical Applications

• Communications Infrastructure — Implement protocol bridges, packet processing, and high-speed I/O aggregation leveraging LVDS and multi-voltage I/O support.
• Embedded Systems & SOPC — Integrate custom logic and embedded memory blocks for system-on-a-programmable-chip designs that require on-chip FIFOs and dual-port RAM.
• Memory Interface and Buffering — Implement memory controllers, DDR interfaces, and buffering logic using the device’s ESBs and flexible I/O.
• Industrial Control — Build control logic, real-time processing, and I/O interfacing for industrial equipment within an extended temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated MultiCore architecture: Combines LUTs, product-term logic, and ESBs to consolidate logic and memory functions on-chip, reducing external components.
• Significant on-chip memory: Approximately 106,496 bits of embedded RAM enable implementation of FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAM without reducing available logic.
• Flexible, high-density I/O: 376 user I/Os with MultiVolt support and advanced I/O standards allow broad interfacing options with external devices and memory.
• Robust clocking features: Multiple PLLs, low-skew clock tree, and programmable clock-shifting features simplify complex timing and clock distribution tasks.
• Industrial temperature capability: Operation from −40 °C to 100 °C supports deployment in demanding industrial environments.
• Compact surface-mount package: 484-BBGA (484-FBGA 23×23) enables high-density board designs while maintaining substantial I/O and logic resources.
