EP20K200RC240-1X

The EP20K200RC240-1X is an Intel APEX-20K® field programmable gate array supplied in a 240-BFQFP exposed pad package. Based on the APEX 20K MultiCore architecture, the device combines look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to implement register‑intensive and memory‑centric functions.

With 8,320 logic elements, approximately 0.106 Mbits of embedded memory, and 174 user I/O pins, this commercial‑grade FPGA addresses configurable logic, embedded memory and flexible I/O requirements for a range of commercial applications while operating from a 2.375 V–2.625 V core supply and 0 °C to 85 °C ambient range.

Key Features

• APEX 20K MultiCore architecture  Integrates LUT logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for a balance of register‑intensive and memory‑centric logic implementations.
• Logic capacity  8,320 logic elements and a device gate count of 526,000 provide substantial configurable logic resources for medium‑complexity designs.
• Embedded memory  Approximately 0.106 Mbits of on‑chip RAM (106,496 bits) available for FIFOs, dual‑port RAMs and CAM‑style functions via ESBs.
• I/O and interface support  174 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support documented in the APEX 20K family for interfacing with multiple signaling levels and high‑speed external memories.
• Clock management  Family features include multiple PLLs, a built‑in low‑skew clock tree and multi‑global clock signals for deterministic clock distribution and phase control.
• Power and supply  Designed for low‑power operation with a specified core supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V and ESB programmable power‑saving options described in the APEX 20K data.
• Package and mounting  240‑lead BFQFP with exposed pad (supplier package 240‑RQFP, 32×32) for surface‑mount PCB assembly and thermal performance.
• Commercial temperature grade  Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• SOPC and system integration  Implement system‑on‑a‑programmable‑chip designs that combine logic, on‑chip memory and peripheral interfaces using the APEX 20K MultiCore approach.
• Memory controller and buffering  Use embedded memory and ESBs to build FIFOs, dual‑port RAMs and interface logic for DDR SDRAM or ZBT SRAM systems supported by the APEX family.
• High‑speed peripheral interfaces  Leverage MultiVolt I/O and documented APEX 20K I/O features for PCI‑class and other high‑speed bus interfaces at appropriate I/O voltage levels.
• Custom logic and glue logic  Deploy the device for glue logic, protocol bridging and custom datapath implementations in commercial products requiring configurable logic density and moderate I/O counts.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced LUT and ESB integration: Combines look‑up table logic with embedded system blocks to address both register‑heavy and memory‑intensive functions without separate external components.
• Substantial configurable capacity: 8,320 logic elements and a 526,000‑gate device density enable complex logic implementations within a single FPGA package.
• On‑chip memory for buffering: Approximately 0.106 Mbits of embedded memory supports FIFOs and local data storage, reducing external memory dependence for many designs.
• Flexible clocking: Multiple PLLs and a low‑skew clock tree provide design flexibility for multi‑domain clocking and phase control.
• Compact package with thermal pad: The 240‑lead BFQFP exposed pad simplifies PCB routing while supporting thermal management for surface‑mount assemblies.
• RoHS compliant and commercial grade: Meets RoHS requirements and is specified for 0 °C to 85 °C commercial operation.
