EP20K200RC240-3

The EP20K200RC240-3 is an APEX-20K field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC designed for system-on-programmable-chip integration. It leverages the APEX MultiCore architecture combining LUT logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to implement register-heavy functions, memory primitives and combinatorial logic.

With high logic density, embedded memory and flexible I/O and clock management, this commercial-grade FPGA targets embedded systems, high-speed interface logic, memory buffering and other designs that benefit from integrated programmable logic and on-chip resources.

Key Features

• MultiCore architecture  Integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to support a mix of register-intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Logic density  8,320 logic elements delivering up to 526,000 system gates for complex logic integration.
• Embedded memory  Approximately 0.106 Mbits of on-chip RAM (106,496 bits) implemented in ESBs to support FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM-style functions; the family-level device includes 52 ESBs.
• I/O and voltage support  174 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support for interfacing to multiple voltage domains, enabling flexible system-level connectivity.
• Flexible clock management  Advanced clock features from the APEX family including multiple PLLs, a low-skew clock tree and up to eight global clocks for deterministic timing and clock domain management.
• High-speed interface support  Family-level features include support for high-speed memories and signaling standards (e.g., DDR SDRAM, LVDS) to enable memory interfaces and high-throughput links.
• Package and mounting  240-BFQFP exposed pad package (240-RQFP, 32×32) designed for surface-mount assembly with an exposed pad for thermal performance.
• Power and operating range  Specified voltage supply range 2.375 V to 2.625 V and commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Low-power design  APEX 20K family devices are described for low-power operation with power-saving options available in embedded resources.

Typical Applications

• Embedded system integration  Implement custom control, protocol offload or glue logic using on-chip LUTs and abundant logic elements to reduce external components.
• Memory interface and buffering  Use ESBs to implement FIFOs, dual-port RAM and buffering for DDR/parallel memory interfaces and on-board data staging.
• High-speed I/O bridging  Support for LVDS and high-speed signaling enables protocol bridging, SERDES front-ends and interface conversions where throughput and signal integrity matter.
• Clocked data processing  Multiple PLLs and a low-skew clock tree make the device suitable for multi-clock-domain designs, data acquisition and deterministic timing tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated architecture:  Combines LUTs, product-term logic and ESBs to consolidate logic and memory functions on a single device, reducing BOM and board area.
• Substantial on-chip memory:  Approximately 0.106 Mbits of embedded RAM supports FIFOs and dual-port memories, minimizing external RAM requirements for many designs.
• Robust clock control:  Multiple PLLs and global clock resources simplify clock distribution and phase/ frequency management across complex designs.
• Flexible I/O connectivity:  174 user I/O pins with MultiVolt support provide broad interfacing capability to a variety of peripherals and voltage domains.
• Thermal-friendly package:  240-BFQFP with exposed pad supports surface-mount assembly while aiding thermal dissipation for sustained operation.
• Commercial temperature rating:  Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation, suitable for standard commercial embedded and industrial-adjacent applications.
