EP20K30EFC144-1N

The EP20K30EFC144-1N is an APEX-20KE® field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from Intel, designed for commercial embedded logic applications. It implements the APEX 20K family’s MultiCore architecture—combining look-up-table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs)—to deliver a compact, programmable platform for custom logic, memory functions and high-speed I/O.

Targeted use cases include embedded systems, high-speed interface controllers and compact programmable logic implementations where a balance of logic density, on-chip RAM and flexible I/O is required.

Key Features

• MultiCore architecture  Integrates LUT logic, product-term logic and embedded memory (ESB) enabling register‑intensive and combinatorial functions within the APEX 20K family architecture.
• Logic resources  Approximately 1,200 logic elements and a maximum system gate count of 113,000 provide a compact logic fabric for control, glue-logic and custom processing tasks.
• Embedded memory (ESBs)  24,576 total RAM bits available for on-chip FIFOs, dual-port RAM, or CAM-style implementations, enabling efficient local buffering and state storage.
• I/O and interface capability  93 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5.0 V) plus family-level support for PCI 3.3-V operation, DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM interfaces, LVDS channels and other advanced standards.
• Clock management  Flexible on-chip clocking with up to four PLLs, low‑skew clock tree and up to eight global clock signals, plus programmable features such as ClockLock, ClockBoost and ClockShift for phase and delay control.
• Low-power design  Designed for low-power operation with a nominal internal supply around 1.8 V (device supply range 1.71–1.89 V) and ESB power-saving options.
• Package and thermal  Surface-mount 144-FBGA (13 × 13) package; commercial-grade operating temperature 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded systems  Implement control logic, protocol bridging and local buffering using on-chip LUTs and ESBs to reduce external components.
• Memory interface controllers  Serve as configurable controllers and sequencers for DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM thanks to the family’s external memory support and flexible I/O.
• High-speed communications  Leverage LVDS channels and high-performance I/O options for serial links, data aggregation and interface conversion.
• SOPC and system integration  Use the APEX 20K family’s system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration capabilities to consolidate logic, memory and interface functions on a single device.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated architecture: Combines LUTs, product-term logic and embedded system blocks to implement both register‑intensive and memory‑based functions on one device, reducing board-level complexity.
• Balanced resources for compact designs: Around 1,200 logic elements with 24,576 bits of on-chip RAM provide a practical mix of logic and local memory for mid-density applications.
• Flexible I/O support: MultiVolt I/O capability and family-level support for PCI, DDR and LVDS let you interface with a wide range of external devices and memory technologies.
• Deterministic clocking: Multiple PLLs, a low‑skew clock tree and programmable clock features simplify timing management for synchronous systems.
• Commercial-grade, surface-mount packaging: 144-FBGA (13×13) package and 0 °C to 85 °C operating range support typical commercial embedded environments while minimizing PCB area.
