EP20K300EQC240-2

The EP20K300EQC240-2 is an APEX 20K family FPGA offered by Intel, delivering a MultiCore™ architecture that integrates lookup-table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded memory blocks. This commercial-grade, surface-mount FPGA targets applications that require dense logic, embedded RAM and flexible I/O in a 240-BFQFP (240-PQFP 32×32) package.

Key value comes from the device’s combination of logic capacity, on-chip memory and built-in clock and I/O features, enabling configurable system-on-a-programmable-chip designs where integration, predictable timing and multi-voltage I/O support are important.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 11,520 logic elements providing the combinational and sequential resources for register‑intensive and control logic implementations.
• On‑chip Memory — Approximately 0.147 Mbits (147,456 bits) of embedded RAM suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM-style functions via the device’s embedded system blocks (ESBs).
• System Gates — Device-level capacity up to 728,000 system gates with typical device utilization around 300,000 gates, as defined for the EP20K300E family member.
• I/O Count and Flexibility — 152 user I/O pins on the packaged device, with MultiVolt™ I/O interface support described for the APEX 20K family to interface across multiple I/O voltage domains.
• Clock and Timing Features — Family-level clock capabilities include up to four PLLs, a built-in low‑skew clock tree and multiple global clock resources to support complex timing domains.
• Package and Mounting — 240‑pin BFQFP (240‑PQFP 32×32) surface-mount package for compact board-level integration.
• Power and Supply — Internal supply and operating characteristics in the 1.71 V to 1.89 V range per the product specification, designed for low‑power operation modes available in the family.
• Commercial Temperature Range — Rated for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for a wide range of commercial applications.
• Standards and Compliance — RoHS‑compliant device for environmental regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Memory and Buffering — Use the ESB-based embedded RAM to implement FIFOs, dual-port RAM or CAM functions for data buffering and packet handling.
• High‑performance Glue Logic — Implement custom datapaths, protocol adapters and control logic leveraging 11,520 logic elements for system integration and feature consolidation.
• PCI and Peripheral Interfaces — Leverage family-level support for PCI 3.3‑V operation to implement host/peripheral bridging and bus interface logic (as described for the APEX 20K family).
• Clocked Systems and Timing Control — Use on-chip PLLs and global clock resources to manage multiple clock domains, clock multiplication/division and phase shifting in complex digital systems.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: 11,520 logic elements and up to 728,000 system gates enable substantial on-chip integration to reduce external logic and BOM.
• Embedded Memory Resources: Approximately 0.147 Mbits of RAM in ESBs supports on‑chip buffering and memory functions without consuming logic element resources.
• Flexible I/O in a Compact Package: 152 user I/Os in a 240‑pin BFQFP package provide a balance of connectivity and board‑space efficiency for commercial designs.
• Built‑in Clock Management: Family features such as multiple PLLs, low‑skew clock tree and programmable clock shift/multiply functions simplify multi‑domain timing architectures.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS‑compliant for mainstream, environmentally conscious products.
