EP20K300EBC652-3

The EP20K300EBC652-3 is an Altera APEX-20KE field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 652-ball BGA package, built for commercial electronic designs. It provides a mid-range logic fabric with abundant I/O and on-chip memory to integrate custom digital functions, I/O expansion, and moderate logic acceleration in space-constrained surface-mount assemblies.

Key Features

• Core logic capacity — 11,520 logic elements enabling compact implementation of custom combinational and sequential logic.
• Embedded memory — 147,456 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.147 Mbits) for data buffering, FIFOs, and small lookup tables.
• I/O resources — 408 dedicated I/O pins to support multiple interfaces and parallel connections to peripherals and sensors.
• Gate count — 728,000 gates providing a measure of overall silicon complexity and capability for mid-range FPGA tasks.
• Power — Specified supply voltage range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V suitable for designs targeting this core operating window.
• Package and mounting — 652-BGA (45 × 45 mm) package in a surface-mount form factor for compact board-level integration.
• Operating range — Commercial-grade operating temperature from 0 °C to 85 °C for standard commercial applications.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Commercial embedded systems — Implement custom control logic and data-handling functions using the device’s logic elements and on-chip RAM within commercial temperature ranges.
• Interface bridging and I/O expansion — Use the 408 I/O pins to aggregate and translate signals between multiple peripherals and host controllers.
• Prototyping and proof-of-concept — Leverage the device’s mid-range capacity and BGA packaging to prototype and validate digital designs destined for compact production boards.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory — Combines 11,520 logic elements with 147,456 bits of on-chip RAM to handle both control logic and localized data storage without external memory in many designs.
• High I/O count — 408 I/O pins enable rich peripheral connectivity and parallel data paths, reducing the need for external multiplexers or expanders.
• Compact board footprint — 652-BGA (45 × 45 mm) package supports high-density board layouts while remaining surface-mount friendly.
• Commercial temperature suitability — Rated 0 °C to 85 °C for reliable operation in standard commercial environments.
• Standard supply voltage — Operates within a defined 1.71 V to 1.89 V supply window to match system power rails and design constraints.
