EP20K200EQC240-1X

The EP20K200EQC240-1X is an APEX-20KE family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 240-BFQFP package optimized for commercial embedded and communications applications. It uses the APEX 20K MultiCore architecture combining look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to provide flexible on-chip logic and memory integration.

With 8,320 logic elements, approximately 0.106 Mbits of embedded memory (106,496 bits), and 168 I/O, this device targets designs that need compact, programmable logic, on-chip RAM, and a range of I/O and clock-management capabilities while operating from a 1.71–1.89 V supply in commercial temperature environments (0 °C to 85 °C).

Key Features

• Core & Architecture  APEX 20K MultiCore architecture integrating LUT-based logic and product-term logic to support register- and combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Logic Density  8,320 logic elements (LEs) and a system-gate figure consistent with the APEX 20K family (up to 526,000 gates for this device class).
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.106 Mbits of on-chip RAM (106,496 bits) implemented via embedded system blocks (ESBs) suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAM-style structures.
• I/O & Interface Support  168 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface capability and family-level support for standards including LVDS, DDR SDRAM interfaces, and PCI (as described for the APEX 20K family).
• Clock & Timing  Family-level clock management features include up to four PLLs, a low-skew clock tree, up to eight global clock signals, and programmable clock phase/delay features (ClockLock, ClockBoost, ClockShift).
• Power & Supply  Low-power family design with an internal supply voltage around 1.8 V and an operating supply range listed for this device at 1.71–1.89 V.
• Package & Mounting  240-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 240-PQFP, 32×32) for surface-mount assembly in space-constrained commercial designs.
• Grade & Temperature  Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications & Networking  Implement protocol bridging, interface logic, and on-chip buffers using the device’s embedded RAM and MultiVolt I/O support.
• Embedded Control & Prototyping  Use the LUT-based logic and ESBs for control-state machines, custom peripherals, and rapid hardware iterations in commercial embedded products.
• High-speed I/O Interfaces  Leverage family-level support for LVDS and DDR interfaces together with flexible clock management for designs requiring fast data paths and synchronized clocks.
• Memory and Buffering  On-chip ESB RAM supports FIFO and dual-port RAM implementations for temporary storage and data flow management.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated MultiCore Architecture:  Combines LUT logic and ESB memory on a single device to reduce external components and simplify board-level design.
• Balanced Logic and Memory Capacity:  8,320 logic elements paired with approximately 0.106 Mbits of embedded memory provides a useful balance for mid-density programmable designs.
• Flexible I/O Options:  168 I/O pins with MultiVolt support and family-level compatibility with LVDS, DDR interfaces, and PCI signaling make it adaptable to a variety of interface requirements.
• On-chip Clock Management:  Multiple PLLs and programmable clock features enable precise timing control without extensive external clocking hardware.
• Compact Commercial Package:  240-BFQFP (240-PQFP, 32×32 supplier designation) delivers a dense, surface-mount footprint for space-constrained commercial applications.
• RoHS Compliant:  Meets RoHS requirements for environmentally regulated designs.
