EP20K400EFC672-1

The EP20K400EFC672-1 is an APEX-20KE family field programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in a 672‑BBGA surface-mount package. It implements a MultiCore architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks for on-chip memory functions.

Designed for high-density, I/O-rich designs, this commercial-grade FPGA provides a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory, flexible clock management and multi-voltage I/O to support system integration, memory buffering and high-bandwidth interface tasks.

Key Features

• Core architecture  MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for register- and memory-centric functions.
• Logic capacity  16,640 logic elements and up to 1,052,000 system gates (device data lists both typical and maximum gate figures), enabling complex logic integration on a single device.
• Embedded memory  Approximately 0.213 Mbits of on-chip RAM (212,992 bits) with ESB support for FIFO buffers, dual-port RAM and content-addressable memory (CAM) implementations.
• I/O and interface flexibility  488 user I/O pins and MultiVolt I/O interface support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5.0 V signaling options; family features include support for LVDS, PCI and high-speed external memory interfaces.
• Clock management  Flexible clock resources including up to four PLLs, a low-skew clock tree, up to eight global clock signals, and features such as ClockLock, ClockBoost and ClockShift for programmable clock phase and delay control.
• Power and supply  Internal supply range 1.71 V to 1.89 V (1.8 V nominal) and ESB programmable power-saving mode; APEX 20K family is designed with low-power operation in mind.
• Package and thermal  Surface-mount 672‑BBGA (supplier package: 672‑FBGA, 27×27) in a commercial-grade offering with operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded system integration  Implement system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) designs using integrated LUT logic and ESBs for on-chip memory and buffering.
• Memory interface and buffering  Implement DDR SDRAM or ZBT SRAM interfaces and on-chip FIFOs or dual-port RAM using the ESB memory resources.
• High‑bandwidth I/O and communications  Support for LVDS channels and PCI-class signaling makes the device suitable for designs requiring high-speed serial or parallel connectivity.
• Custom logic and prototyping  High logic element count and substantial embedded memory capacity allow consolidation of complex custom logic and rapid prototyping on a single FPGA.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated MultiCore design: Consolidates LUT, product-term logic and embedded memory to reduce external component count.
• Significant logic and memory capacity: 16,640 logic elements and approximately 0.213 Mbits of embedded RAM support sizeable, stateful designs on-chip.
• High I/O density with MultiVolt support: 488 I/O pins and multi-voltage I/O interface options simplify board-level signaling across different voltage domains.
• Advanced clocking features: Multiple PLLs, low-skew clock tree and programmable clock controls provide timing flexibility for synchronous systems.
• Compact BGA footprint: 672‑BBGA (27×27) surface-mount package enables dense PCB integration without sacrificing connectivity.
• Commercial-grade and RoHS compliant: Designed for commercial applications with environmental compliance for restricted substances.
