EP20K400EFC672-1XN

The EP20K400EFC672-1XN is an APEX-20KE family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 672-ball BGA package, designed for high-density, system-level programmable logic. It combines MultiCore architecture with look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to implement register-intensive functions, memory structures and product-term logic on a single device.

With 16,640 logic elements, approximately 0.213 Mbits of embedded memory and 488 user I/Os, this device targets complex embedded systems, high-density logic integration and I/O-rich applications where integration, predictable timing and low-power operation are required.

Key Features

• MultiCore architecture and LUT logic  MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic and product-term logic for register- and combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Embedded system blocks (ESBs)  ESBs provide on-chip memory functions such as FIFO buffers, dual-port RAM and content-addressable memory (CAM); ESBs also support programmable power-saving modes.
• Logic and capacity  16,640 logic elements and approximately 1,052,000 system gates provide high-density programmable logic resources.
• On-chip memory  Approximately 212,992 bits of embedded RAM for data buffering and local storage.
• I/O and interfacing  488 user I/Os with MultiVolt I/O interface support for interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5.0 V signals; family-level support includes standards such as LVDS and PCI (3.3 V operation).
• Clock management  Flexible clocking with support for multiple PLLs, a built-in low-skew clock tree and features for clock multiplication, division and phase shifting (ClockBoost, ClockShift, ClockLock).
• Power and supply  Designed for low-power operation; internal supply voltage specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V for this device.
• Package and mounting  672-ball BGA (supplier device package 672-FBGA, 27 × 27 mm), surface-mount package optimized for compact board-level integration.
• Commercial temperature grade  Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature.
• Regulatory  RoHS-compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded systems  Implement control logic, protocol processing and custom accelerators using the device’s LUT-rich fabric and on-chip ESB memory.
• High-speed I/O and protocol bridges  Use the device’s 488 I/Os and MultiVolt I/O support to interface between diverse voltage domains and bus standards, including family-level support for PCI and LVDS.
• Memory interfacing and buffering  On-chip ESBs and support for external memory types enable robust FIFO, dual-port RAM and DDR/ZBT memory interface designs.
• Data-path processing  Leverage 16,640 logic elements and dedicated clock-management features to implement data-path functions, pipelining and timing-critical logic.

Unique Advantages

• High integration density: 16,640 logic elements and roughly 1,052,000 system gates reduce the need for multiple discrete devices in complex designs.
• On-chip memory for system functions: Approximately 212,992 bits of embedded RAM and ESB-based FIFOs/dual-port RAM simplify buffering and local storage without external components.
• Flexible I/O support: 488 I/Os with MultiVolt compatibility enable direct interfacing across common logic voltage levels for diverse system buses and peripherals.
• Advanced clocking capabilities: Multiple PLLs and programmable clock features provide low-skew, phase and frequency control for synchronous, timing-sensitive designs.
• Compact, surface-mount BGA package: 672-BBGA (672-FBGA 27×27) delivers high pin-count in a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained boards.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS-compliant manufacturing.
