EP20K30EFC256-1

The EP20K30EFC256-1 is a commercial-grade, surface-mount FPGA from the APEX‑20K family that integrates LUT-based logic, product-term logic and embedded memory for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) designs. With 1,200 logic elements, approximately 0.025 Mbits (24,576 bits) of embedded RAM, and up to 128 user I/O pins in a 256‑LBGA package, it targets moderate-density digital designs requiring flexible I/O, embedded memory and low-voltage operation.

Designed for embedded applications and interface-intensive designs, this device combines on-chip memory and dedicated logic structures with family-level features such as flexible clock management and high-speed I/O support to simplify system integration and accelerate development.

Key Features

• Logic Resources  1,200 logic elements and a maximum of 113,000 system gates, enabling moderate-density custom logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.025 Mbits (24,576 bits) of on-chip RAM suitable for small FIFOs, buffers and configuration storage.
• I/O and Interfaces  Up to 128 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support across common levels, enabling direct interfacing with a range of external devices and buses.
• Clock Management  Flexible clock management circuitry (family feature) including phase-locked loops (PLLs), a low-skew clock tree and multiple global clock signals to support synchronous designs.
• Low‑Voltage Operation  Internal supply designed for nominal 1.8 V operation (specified device supply range 1.71 V to 1.89 V) to support low-power system designs.
• Package and Mounting  256‑LBGA (256‑BGA, 27×27) surface-mount package for compact PCB footprint and reliable board-level assembly.
• Commercial Grade and Environmental  Commercial temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS‑compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control and SOPC integration  Implement compact system logic and small embedded subsystems that leverage on-chip RAM and LUT logic for control, state machines and glue logic.
• Interface bridging and protocol adaptation  Use the device’s MultiVolt I/O and abundant I/O pins to bridge between different voltage domains and implement protocol translators or bus interfaces.
• Memory buffering and FIFO  Deploy embedded RAM blocks for small FIFO buffers and temporary data storage in streaming or packet-handling designs.
• Prototyping and custom digital functions  Rapidly prototype moderate-density logic, glue logic and timing-critical paths using the APEX‑20K architecture.

Unique Advantages

• Established APEX‑20K architecture: Leverages MultiCore LUT and embedded system block concepts from the APEX family for predictable integration of logic and memory.
• Balanced resource set: 1,200 logic elements paired with 24,576 bits of embedded RAM and 128 I/O pins fits designs that need moderate logic capacity with on-chip memory.
• Flexible I/O voltage support: MultiVolt I/O capability enables direct interfacing with a variety of external devices across common voltage domains.
• Compact, board-ready package: 256‑LBGA footprint provides a high-density mounting option for space-constrained PCBs.
• Low-voltage, commercial operation: Specified 1.71 V to 1.89 V supply range and 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature for typical commercial electronics environments.
• RoHS compliant: Manufactured to meet RoHS environmental requirements for lead-free assembly.
