EP20K400CB652I8ES

The EP20K400CB652I8ES is an APEX-20KC family FPGA manufactured by Intel, delivered in a 652-ball BGA package (45 × 45 mm) for surface-mount assembly. It combines a MultiCore architecture with LUT-based logic and embedded memory blocks to address programmable-logic tasks that require substantial I/O, on-chip RAM, and deterministic clocking.

Targeted for industrial designs, this device provides 16,640 logic elements, approximately 0.213 Mbits of embedded RAM (212,992 total RAM bits), and up to 488 user I/O pins — making it suitable for applications that need medium-to-high density programmable logic, multiple clock domains, and flexible I/O standards.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 16,640 logic elements (LEs) and approximately 1,052,000 maximum system gate equivalents support complex logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory — 212,992 total RAM bits (approximately 0.213 Mbits) implemented via ESBs for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and other on-chip storage needs.
• I/O Capability — 488 user I/O pins provide extensive external connectivity; MultiVolt I/O support (per APEX 20KC series) enables 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V interface options.
• Clocking and Timing — Series features include up to four PLLs and a built-in low-skew clock tree to support multiple global clocks and flexible phase/clock management.
• Performance and Interconnect — Designed on a copper-interconnect process with a hierarchical FastTrack interconnect and dedicated carry/cascade chains for arithmetic and high-fan-in logic.
• Power — Internal supply operation around 1.8 V (product data: 1.71 V to 1.89 V) with low-power design considerations in the APEX 20KC architecture.
• Package & Mounting — 652-BGA (45 × 45) surface-mount package suitable for board-level integration.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Specified for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant device.

Typical Applications

• High-density control and glue logic — Use the 16,640 logic elements and dedicated interconnect chains to implement complex state machines, protocol translation, and timing-critical control logic.
• Memory interface and buffering — Embedded RAM (approximately 0.213 Mbits) and ESBs enable on-chip buffering, FIFOs, and dual-port RAM for memory interface designs.
• High‑I/O bridging and interface conversion — With 488 I/O pins and MultiVolt I/O support, the device is suited for bridging between different voltage domains and connecting multiple peripherals.
• Clock-domain and timing-critical systems — Multiple PLLs and low-skew clock distribution support systems requiring precise clocking and multiple clock domains.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated FPGA fabric: Combines 16,640 logic elements with embedded memory and dedicated carry/cascade chains to reduce the need for external glue logic.
• Flexible I/O and voltage support: Extensive I/O count and MultiVolt options simplify integration with mixed-voltage systems and diverse peripherals.
• On-chip memory reduces BOM: Approximately 0.213 Mbits of embedded RAM enable local buffering and storage without additional external memory components.
• Robust industrial operating range: Specified operation from −40 °C to 100 °C supports deployment in industrial environments.
• Deterministic clock management: Built-in PLLs and low-skew clock tree ease implementation of multi-clock designs and timing-sensitive functions.
