EP20K30EFC324-1

The EP20K30EFC324-1 is an APEX-20K Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Altera. It provides programmable logic resources, on-chip embedded memory, and a high I/O count in a compact surface-mount BGA package.

With 1,200 logic elements, 24,576 bits of embedded RAM, and 128 I/O pins, this commercial-grade FPGA is intended for designs that require configurable digital logic in a space-efficient, RoHS-compliant package.

Key Features

• Core Logic  1,200 logic elements provide the programmable fabric for implementing custom digital logic and state machines.
• Embedded Memory  24,576 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 24.6 Kbits) for data buffering, small FIFOs, and register files.
• I/O Capacity  128 general-purpose I/O pins support a broad range of external interfaces and system interconnects.
• Gate Count  Approximate equivalent of 113,000 gates to indicate relative design density and resource scale.
• Package and Mounting  324-ball BGA (324-FBGA, 19 × 19) surface-mount package to enable high-density board integration and reliable soldered connections.
• Power  Operates from a core supply of 1.71 V to 1.89 V, providing defined voltage requirements for system power design.
• Temperature and Grade  Commercial operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C; specified as commercial grade for standard-temperature applications.
• Regulatory Compliance  RoHS compliant, meeting common lead-free and hazardous substance requirements for many commercial products.

Typical Applications

• Digital Logic Prototyping  Implement and validate custom digital circuits using the device's 1,200 logic elements and embedded RAM.
• I/O Expansion and Interface Bridging  Use the 128 I/O pins to connect and bridge multiple peripherals, sensors, or communication lines on a compact PCB footprint.
• Control and Sequencing  Deploy programmable logic for control state machines, timing sequences, and peripheral control functions within commercial-temperature designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Resource Set: Combines a mid-range logic element count with on-chip RAM and a high I/O count for versatile mid-density designs.
• Compact BGA Packaging: 324-ball FBGA (19 × 19) enables high-density PCB layouts and reliable surface-mount assembly.
• Defined Power Envelope: Narrow core voltage range (1.71 V–1.89 V) simplifies power-supply planning and voltage regulation design.
• Commercial Temperature Suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation, suitable for standard commercial environments.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets lead-free and hazardous substance requirements for many commercial manufacturing processes.
