EP20K30EQC208-1

The EP20K30EQC208-1 is an Intel APEX-20KE family FPGA offering a balanced mix of logic, embedded memory, and I/O for mid-density programmable designs. It implements the family’s MultiCore architecture combining look‑up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for memory and combinatorial functions.

With 1,200 logic elements, approximately 24,576 bits of on‑chip RAM, and 125 user I/O pins in a 208‑BFQFP surface‑mount package, this device targets embedded systems that require integrated memory structures, flexible I/O interfacing, and moderate gate density within commercial temperature and supply requirements.

Key Features

• MultiCore architecture and LUT logic
  Family-level MultiCore design integrates LUT-based logic and product-term logic to support both register-intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Embedded memory (ESB)
  Approximately 24,576 bits of embedded RAM available for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and content-addressable memory implementations as supported by the APEX 20K ESB architecture.
• Logic resources
  Provides 1,200 logic elements and up to 113,000 system gates for mid-density custom logic and glue‑logic tasks.
• I/O capacity and flexibility
  125 user I/O pins with APEX 20K family support for MultiVolt I/O levels to interface with a range of external devices and memory technologies.
• Clock and timing features
  Family-level support includes flexible clock management with phase-locked loops (PLLs), a built-in low-skew clock tree, and multiple global clock signals for predictable timing.
• Low-voltage operation
  Internal voltage supply specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V to support low-power designs.
• Package and mounting
  208‑BFQFP (208‑PQFP, 28×28) surface-mount package suitable for compact board integration.
• Commercial grade and environmental compliance
  Commercial temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS‑compliant manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Memory interface controllers
  Use embedded RAM and family memory-interface features to implement DDR or ZBT style memory controllers and FIFOs for buffering and data alignment.
• Embedded system integration
  Leverage SOPC-style integration and ESBs to combine custom logic, FIFOs, and dual-port memories in compact system designs.
• I/O-intensive control and glue logic
  125 I/O pins and flexible I/O voltage support make the device suitable for bridging and control tasks between mixed-voltage peripherals.
• Prototyping and mid-density FPGA designs
  Appropriate for prototypes and products requiring moderate logic capacity, on-chip RAM, and configurable I/O in a small package footprint.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated memory and logic:
  On-chip ESBs provide roughly 24,576 bits of RAM, reducing dependence on external memory for common buffering and storage needs.
• Balanced mid-density resource mix:
  1,200 logic elements and up to 113,000 system gates deliver sufficient capacity for many embedded applications without excess cost or board area.
• Flexible interfacing:
  125 user I/O pins and APEX 20K family MultiVolt I/O support simplify connections to mixed-voltage peripherals and memory devices.
• Compact, surface-mount package:
  208‑BFQFP (28×28 PQFP) provides a space-efficient solution for board-level integration.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliance:
  Qualified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS‑compliant for broad commercial deployment.
• Low-voltage internal operation:
  1.71 V to 1.89 V supply range supports lower-power system architectures.
