EP20K300EQC208-3

The EP20K300EQC208-3 is an Intel APEX-20KE family FPGA delivering 11,520 logic elements and approximately 0.147 Mbits of embedded memory in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. Built on the APEX 20K architecture, the device combines LUT-based logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to support register-intensive functions, embedded RAM, FIFOs and product-term logic for combinatorial-heavy tasks.

Designed for commercial-grade applications, the device provides a dense programmable logic resource (approximately 728,000 system gates) with 147 user I/O pins, configurable I/O options, and a 1.71 V to 1.89 V internal supply operating across 0 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Core architecture — MultiCore architecture integrating look-up table (LUT) logic and product-term logic to address both register-intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 0.147 Mbits of on-chip RAM provided by ESBs, suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM implementations.
• Logic capacity — 11,520 logic elements delivering approximately 728,000 system gates for high-density logic integration.
• I/O and interfacing — 147 user I/O pins and MultiVolt I/O interface support to interface with multiple voltage domains as described by the APEX 20K family.
• Clock management — Family-level clock features including multiple PLLs, low-skew clock tree and support for multiple global clock signals for predictable timing (features per APEX 20K family documentation).
• Package and mounting — 208-BFQFP (supplier package 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor suitable for standard PCB assembly.
• Power and operating range — Internal supply range 1.71 V to 1.89 V and commercial operating temperature 0 °C to 85 °C.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Memory controller and buffering — Implement DDR SDRAM or ZBT SRAM interfaces and on-chip FIFOs using embedded system blocks for data buffering and memory control.
• High-speed I/O and peripheral interfaces — Use the device’s MultiVolt I/O and family I/O features for PCI-compliant interfaces and mixed-voltage peripheral connectivity.
• Data acquisition and processing — Deploy programmable logic and embedded RAM for data capture, preprocessing, and protocol handling in instrumentation and communication endpoints.
• Prototyping and system integration — Leverage the APEX 20K family’s SOPC-oriented architecture for system-on-programmable-chip integration and rapid hardware development.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated logic and memory: Combines 11,520 logic elements with embedded memory blocks to reduce external components and simplify board design.
• Flexible I/O options: 147 user I/O pins and family-level MultiVolt support enable interfacing across different voltage domains without large BOM changes.
• Family-proven clock and routing features: APEX 20K clock management and hierarchical interconnect provide predictable timing and support for multiple global clocks in complex designs.
• Commercial-grade readiness: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and supplied in a surface-mount 208-BFQFP package for mainstream embedded applications.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction supports lead-free manufacturing and global environmental requirements.
