EP20K200FC484-1X

The EP20K200FC484-1X is an APEX-20K series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Intel, offering a MultiCore architecture with Look-Up Table (LUT) logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for on-chip memory and product-term logic. Designed for commercial-grade embedded and interface applications, this device delivers a balance of logic capacity, embedded RAM, and flexible I/O in a 484-ball BGA package.

With 8,320 logic elements, approximately 0.106 Mbits of embedded memory and 382 user I/O, the device targets designs requiring mid-range gate density, multi-voltage I/O support and integrated clock management features to simplify system integration.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic and product-term logic for register- and combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Logic Capacity  8,320 logic elements providing a total gate count of 526,000 for mid-range programmable logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.106 Mbits (106,496 bits) of on-chip RAM implemented via Embedded System Blocks (ESBs) for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and content-addressable memory (CAM) use.
• I/O and Interface Support  382 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support and programmable I/O features suitable for direct connection to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5.0 V levels and a range of signaling standards referenced by the APEX 20K family.
• Clock Management  Built-in clock management including up to four PLLs, a low-skew clock tree and support for up to eight global clock signals, plus family-level features such as ClockLock, ClockBoost and ClockShift.
• Memory and External Interface  Family-level support for high-speed external memories, including DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM, and compliance with PCI Local Bus Specification (3.3 V operation) as described for the APEX 20K family.
• Power and Voltage  Specified internal voltage supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V; device-level low-power design features are part of the APEX 20K architecture.
• Package and Mounting  484-ball BGA package (supplier device package 484-FBGA, 23×23) for surface-mount applications.
• Commercial Grade & Environmental  Commercial-grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications and Networking  Protocol bridging and packet processing where mid-range logic density and flexible I/O support are required for interfacing with diverse voltage domains and memory subsystems.
• Memory Interface and Buffering  Implementing DDR SDRAM or ZBT SRAM controllers and FIFO buffers using embedded system blocks for efficient on-chip memory handling.
• High-speed I/O Aggregation  Concentrating multiple signaling standards and differential interfaces into a single FPGA for aggregation, pre-processing or format conversion.
• Test & Measurement and Prototyping  Custom logic, timing-critical glue logic, and mid-density prototyping where deterministic clocking and configurable I/O simplify board-level design.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory  Combines 8,320 logic elements with approximately 0.106 Mbits of embedded RAM to implement both control logic and on-chip data storage without excessive external memory.
• Integrated Clock Capabilities  Multiple PLLs, a low-skew clock tree and global clock distribution reduce external clocking complexity and help manage timing across large or timing-sensitive designs.
• Flexible I/O Support  MultiVolt I/O compatibility and a high pin count (382) enable direct interfacing to a wide range of external devices and voltage domains.
• Compact BGA Package  484-ball BGA (23×23) offers a compact surface-mount form factor suitable for space-constrained boards while providing ample I/O.
• Commercial-grade Reliability  Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliance for standard commercial deployments.
