EP20K400EBC652-3N

The EP20K400EBC652-3N is a commercial-grade APEX-20KE Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 652-ball BGA (45×45) surface-mount package. It implements the APEX 20K MultiCore architecture combining LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory blocks to support integrated system design.

Designed for applications needing high logic density and flexible I/O, the device offers 16,640 logic elements, approximately 0.213 Mbits of on-chip RAM, and 488 user I/O pins, making it suitable for high-speed memory interfaces, protocol bridging, and embedded system functions that benefit from on-chip FIFOs and dual-port RAM.

Key Features

• Core architecture  MultiCore architecture integrating look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for register-intensive and memory functions.
• Logic capacity  16,640 logic elements delivering a system gate equivalence of approximately 1,052,000 gates.
• Embedded memory  Approximately 212,992 bits (≈0.213 Mbits) of on-chip RAM and ESBs for implementing FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and CAM functions.
• I/O and interface support  488 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O support and programmability; documented support for high-speed memory interfaces and PCI 3.3-V operation (datasheet series-level detail).
• Clock management  Flexible clocking features in the APEX 20K family including up to four PLLs, a low-skew clock tree, up to eight global clocks, and programmable clock phase/delay features.
• Power and supply  Internal supply voltage specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V for this part number.
• Package and temperature  652-BGA (45×45) surface-mount package; commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards and performance  Series-level features include support for LVDS, high-speed memory interfaces (DDR SDRAM, ZBT SRAM), and high-speed bidirectional I/O timing characteristics.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Memory interface controllers  Implement DDR or ZBT memory controllers and on-chip FIFOs using ESBs and embedded RAM.
• High-speed I/O bridging  Bridge between standards and voltage domains using MultiVolt I/O and differential signaling support.
• Protocol and bus implementations  Implement PCI 3.3-V bus interfaces and custom protocol handlers leveraging the device’s I/O performance and clock resources.
• Embedded system blocks  Use ESBs to create CAMs, dual-port RAM, and other subsystem functions directly on chip to reduce external components.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated MultiCore architecture: Combines LUTs, product-term logic, and ESBs to consolidate register, combinatorial, and memory functions on a single device.
• High logic and memory density: 16,640 logic elements and roughly 212,992 bits of embedded memory enable complex designs with reduced external devices.
• Flexible, high-performance I/O: 488 user I/Os with MultiVolt support and documented high-speed interface capabilities simplify mixed-voltage system designs.
• Advanced clocking features: Multiple PLLs, global clocks, and phase/delay control support precise timing and complex clock domain management.
• Compact surface-mount package: 652-BGA (45×45) package provides a high-pin-count solution for dense board layouts while maintaining surface-mount assembly.
• Commercial-grade and RoHS compliant: Commercial temperature rating (0 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS compliance align with mainstream electronics manufacturing requirements.
