EP20K400EBC652-3

The EP20K400EBC652-3 from Intel is an APEX-20KE family FPGA that combines LUT-based logic, product-term logic and embedded memory in a MultiCore architecture for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) applications. It targets high-density, configurable logic tasks where integrated memory, flexible I/O and advanced clock management enable consolidated system designs.

Typical use cases include high-speed interface controllers, embedded systems that require on-chip RAM and complex logic, and designs that need large I/O counts and a compact BGA package for surface-mount assembly.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  MultiCore architecture integrating look‑up table (LUT) logic, product‑term logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for a mix of register‑intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Logic Capacity  16,640 logic elements delivering a programmable capacity equivalent to 1,052,000 gates for complex logic implementation.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.213 Mbits of on‑chip RAM (212,992 total RAM bits) to implement FIFOs, dual‑port RAM and content‑addressable memory structures without reducing available logic.
• I/O and Interface  488 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O support and built‑in features for high‑speed memory interfaces and peripheral connectivity.
• Clock and Timing  Flexible clock management including up to four PLLs, a low‑skew clock tree and support for multiple global clock signals for deterministic timing control.
• Power and Voltage  Internal supply operation in the specified range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V with features for low‑power operation and programmable ESB power modes.
• Package & Mounting  652‑BGA (45 × 45 mm) surface‑mount package, suitable for dense board layouts where high I/O count and compact footprint are required.
• Operating Range & Compliance  Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for lead‑free assembly.

Typical Applications

• High‑speed Memory Interfaces  Implement DDR and other external memory controllers using the embedded RAM and I/O features for low‑latency data paths.
• PCI and Peripheral Controllers  Integrate PCI‑compatible peripherals and bus interfaces leveraging the device’s MultiVolt I/O support and high I/O count.
• Embedded SOPC Systems  Build system‑level functions on a single FPGA platform using LUT logic plus ESBs for memory and custom logic blocks.
• High‑density Logic Consolidation  Replace multiple discrete components by consolidating logic into 16,640 logic elements and abundant on‑chip memory.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated MultiCore architecture: Reduces design complexity by combining LUT logic, product‑term logic and embedded memory in a single device.
• Large programmable capacity: 16,640 logic elements and over one million gates worth of capacity support complex, densely packed logic designs.
• On‑chip embedded memory: Approximately 0.213 Mbits of RAM available for FIFOs, dual‑port RAM and CAM implementations without sacrificing logic resources.
• Flexible, high‑count I/O: 488 user I/O pins and MultiVolt I/O options enable diverse peripheral and memory interface support.
• Advanced clock management: Multiple PLLs and a low‑skew clock tree provide deterministic timing control for multi‑domain and high‑speed designs.
• Compact BGA package: 652‑BGA (45×45) surface‑mount package supports dense board integration while preserving high I/O availability.
