EP20K400EFC672-3

The EP20K400EFC672-3 is an APEX-20KE family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 672-ball BGA package. It integrates a MultiCore architecture with LUT-based logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to support register-intensive and memory-intensive functions on a single programmable device.

Designed for commercial applications, the device delivers up to 16,640 logic elements, approximately 0.213 Mbits of embedded memory, and 488 user I/O to address high-density logic, complex interfacing, and on-chip memory requirements while operating at a core supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V.

Key Features

• MultiCore architecture & SOPC integration Integrated look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) enable combined logic and memory functions including FIFO, dual-port RAM, and CAM implementations.
• Logic density 16,640 logic elements and approximately 1,052,000 system gates provide capacity for complex digital designs.
• Embedded memory Approximately 0.213 Mbits of on-chip RAM (212,992 bits) for localized data storage and buffering without sacrificing logic resources.
• I/O and interface flexibility 488 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support for interfacing to a range of voltage domains and advanced I/O standards described in the APEX 20K family documentation.
• Clock management Flexible clock circuitry including up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs), a low-skew clock tree, and programmable features such as ClockLock, ClockBoost, and ClockShift for precise clock control.
• Low-voltage operation Core operating range specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V supporting low-power designs; ESBs include programmable power-saving modes as described in family documentation.
• Package & mounting 672-ball BGA (27 × 27 mm) surface-mount package suitable for compact, high-pin-count board designs.
• Commercial temperature grade & compliance Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-density logic processing Implement complex state machines, data path logic, and custom processing blocks leveraging 16,640 logic elements and on-chip RAM.
• Memory interfacing and buffering Use embedded system blocks and ESB-based memory to build FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and memory controllers for external DDR or ZBT memories as supported by the APEX 20K family.
• Communication and networking equipment Deploy the device for protocol bridging, packet processing, and I/O-heavy designs that require many configurable I/O pins and flexible clocking.
• Prototyping and system integration Leverage SOPC-style integration to combine logic, memory, and peripheral interfacing in a single FPGA for rapid development and evaluation.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated SOPC-capable architecture: Combines LUT logic with ESBs to implement both register-intensive and memory-intensive functions on-chip, reducing external component count.
• Significant on-chip resources: 16,640 logic elements and roughly 1,052,000 system gates provide headroom for complex designs and growth.
• Embedded memory for local buffering: Approximately 0.213 Mbits of RAM supports efficient data staging and FIFO implementations without using logic fabric.
• Flexible clocking and timing control: Multiple PLLs, a low-skew clock tree, and programmable clock features enable precise timing architectures for synchronous systems.
• Broad I/O compatibility: 488 user I/Os and MultiVolt interface support facilitate interfacing to a wide range of external devices and voltage domains.
• Compact BGA packaging: 672-ball FBGA (27 × 27 mm) provides a high pin count in a compact surface-mount form factor for dense PCB layouts.
