EP20K300EQI240-3

The EP20K300EQI240-3 is an APEX-20KE® field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 240-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. It implements the APEX 20K family MultiCore architecture combining LUT-based logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to support register-intensive and memory-intensive functions on a single device.

With 11,520 logic elements, approximately 147,456 bits of on-chip RAM, up to 728,000 gates of logic capacity and 152 user I/O pins, this device targets high-density, I/O-rich embedded and industrial applications that require integrated memory, flexible clocking and robust I/O support.

Key Features

• Core architecture — APEX-20KE MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic and product-term logic for a mix of register- and combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Logic resources — 11,520 logic elements (LEs) and a stated capacity of 728,000 gates for medium-to-high density logic implementation.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 0.15 Mbits of on-chip RAM (147,456 bits) with ESB structures usable for FIFO, dual-port RAM and CAM-style memory functions.
• I/O and interface flexibility — 152 user I/O pins; family-level support for MultiVolt I/O levels (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5.0 V) to interface with a range of external devices, and support for high-speed I/O standards per the APEX 20K family data.
• Clock management — Family features include up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs), a low-skew clock tree and programmable clock phase/delay features for tight timing control.
• Package and mounting — Surface-mount device in a 240-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 240-PQFP, 32 × 32 mm footprint) for production-ready PCB assembly.
• Power and supply — Device internal supply specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V; family-level low-power design options and programmable ESB power-saving modes.
• Operational range and compliance — Industrial grade with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded systems and SOPC integration — Use the APEX-20KE MultiCore architecture and ESBs to consolidate logic and on-chip memory for system-on-programmable-chip designs.
• High-speed memory interfaces — Implement DDR/parallel memory controllers and FIFO buffering using embedded RAM and ESBs for memory-intensive applications.
• Bus and I/O bridging (PCI and high-speed interfaces) — Family-level support for PCI and high-speed I/O standards enables implementation of protocol bridges and I/O-intensive subsystems.
• Industrial control and automation — Industrial-grade temperature range and flexible I/O make the device suitable for control logic, motor drives and sensor aggregation in harsh environments.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated memory and logic — ESBs provide embedded RAM and product-term logic, enabling on-chip FIFOs and dual-port memories to reduce external component count.
• Substantial logic capacity — 11,520 logic elements and 728,000 gates allow consolidation of complex logic into a single FPGA, simplifying board-level designs.
• Flexible I/O interfacing — 152 user I/Os and family-level MultiVolt I/O support enable direct interfacing with a wide range of peripherals and voltage domains.
• Robust clocking features — Multiple PLLs, global clocks and programmable phase/delay controls help meet demanding timing and multi-clock-domain requirements.
• Industrial operating range — −40 °C to 100 °C specification supports deployment in temperature-challenging environments.
• Compact production package — 240-BFQFP surface-mount packaging provides a production-ready form factor for space-constrained PCBs.
