EP20K30ETC144-1X

The EP20K30ETC144-1X is a commercial-grade field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel's APEX 20K family. It implements the series' MultiCore architecture with look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to combine flexible logic and on-chip memory in a compact, surface-mount 144-LQFP package.

This device targets mid-density programmable-logic applications that require a balance of logic resources, embedded RAM, and flexible I/O — enabling custom control, protocol bridging, and memory-interface tasks in commercial electronic designs.

Key Features

• Core architecture  MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for register-intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Logic resources  1,200 logic elements (LEs) and up to 113,000 system gates provide mid-range programmable capacity for custom logic implementations.
• Embedded memory  24,576 bits of on-chip RAM for FIFOs, dual-port RAM or small data buffers implemented in ESBs.
• I/O and package  92 user I/O pins in a 144-LQFP (supplier: 144-TQFP, 20×20) surface-mount package for compact board-level integration.
• Power and supply  Internal voltage supply specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V; device is designed for low-power operation with ESB programmable power-saving modes.
• Clock management  Series-level support includes flexible clock circuitry with up to four PLLs, a built-in low-skew clock tree and features for clock phase/shift control.
• Flexible I/O standards  APEX 20K series supports MultiVolt I/O interface levels (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5.0 V) and advanced signaling options for high-performance interfaces.
• Operating range & compliance  Commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded system control  Implement custom control logic and peripheral glue logic using the device's LUTs and embedded RAM for buffering and state machines.
• Memory interface bridging  Use the device's ESBs and I/O flexibility for interfacing with external memories and building small buffering/handshake logic.
• Protocol interfacing and glue logic  Implement protocol translators, bus bridges, or custom peripheral interfaces leveraging the FPGA's reprogrammability and I/O options.
• Prototyping and development  Mid-density logic and on-chip RAM make the device suitable for proof-of-concept designs and iterative hardware development in commercial products.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-density resources: 1,200 logic elements and 113,000 system gates deliver a practical mix of logic capacity without excessive board area or cost.
• Embedded RAM in ESBs: 24,576 bits of on-chip memory enable compact FIFO and buffer implementations without external SRAM for many use cases.
• Flexible clocking: Series-level PLLs and a low-skew clock tree simplify timing distribution and support clock multiplication/division and phase control.
• MultiVolt I/O support: I/O flexibility across common voltage domains helps interface with a wide range of peripheral devices and memory types.
• Compact surface-mount package: 144-LQFP (144-TQFP supplier package, 20×20) enables integration into space-constrained commercial PCBs.
• Commercial-grade and RoHS-compliant: Specified 0 °C to 85 °C operating range and RoHS compliance for mainstream electronics applications.
