EP20K400CF672C9

The EP20K400CF672C9 is an APEX-20KC® Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Altera, supplied in a 672-ball FCBGA package. It provides a mid-range programmable logic solution with substantial I/O capacity and on-chip RAM for embedded logic and interfacing tasks.

Designed for commercial-temperature applications, this surface-mount FPGA targets designs that require a combination of logic resources, high I/O count, and compact BGA packaging while operating within a 1.71 V–1.89 V core supply range.

Key Features

• Core Capacity 16,640 logic elements and approximately 1.05 million gates provide the programmable fabric to implement custom digital functions.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 0.213 Mbits of on-chip RAM (212,992 total RAM bits) for buffering, state storage, and small lookup tables.
• I/O Density 488 user I/O pins to support multiple interfaces and peripheral connections from a single device.
• Package and Mounting 672-BBGA (FCBGA) package in a 672-FBGA (27×27) footprint, surface-mount for compact board designs.
• Power Core voltage supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V to match platform power requirements.
• Operating Range and Grade Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant for regulations on hazardous substances.

Typical Applications

• I/O-Intensive Systems Use where a high pin count (488 I/O) is needed to interface multiple peripherals, sensors or I/O buses on a single FPGA.
• Custom Digital Processing Deploy the device for mid-range programmable logic tasks that require ~16.6k logic elements and embedded RAM for temporary data storage and control logic.
• Compact Board Designs Apply the 672-ball FCBGA package and surface-mount mounting for space-constrained PCBs that need significant logic and I/O in a single package.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 16,640 logic elements paired with approximately 0.213 Mbits of on-chip RAM enable a mix of combinational logic, state machines, and small buffering without external memory.
• High I/O Capacity: 488 user I/O pins simplify board-level routing and reduce the need for additional interface components.
• Compact BGA Packaging: 672-BBGA (672-FBGA, 27×27) footprint delivers high integration density for compact system designs.
• Controlled Power Envelope: Narrow core voltage range (1.71 V–1.89 V) helps designers plan stable power delivery for the FPGA core.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental compliance requirements for restricted substances.
• Commercial Temperature Suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation for mainstream electronic applications.
