EP20K400FC672-1X

The EP20K400FC672-1X is an APEX-20K® field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 672-ball BGA package designed for high-density, embedded-logic designs. It combines MultiCore architecture with look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to consolidate logic and memory functions in a single device.

This device targets commercial applications that require substantial logic capacity, significant on-chip memory, and a large I/O complement for complex board-level integration, memory interfaces, and peripheral interconnects.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 16,640 logic elements (LEs) providing approximately 1,052,000 gates for high-density logic implementation.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.213 Mbits of embedded memory (212,992 total RAM bits) implemented via ESBs for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM-style functions.
• I/O Scale and Flexibility — 502 user I/O pins to support wide board-level connectivity and complex interfaces.
• Advanced I/O Standards — MultiVolt I/O interface support and documented compatibility with high-speed memory interfaces including DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM, plus support for LVDS and other high-speed signaling modes as described in the APEX-20K family data.
• Clock Management — Flexible clock resources including up to four PLLs and up to eight global clock signals, with features for clock phase and delay control.
• Power and Supply — Internal supply operation in the APEX-20K family and device-level voltage supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V per product specifications.
• Package and Mounting — Surface-mount 672-BBGA package (supplier package: 672-FBGA, 27 × 27 mm) suitable for compact board layouts.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-speed memory interfaces — Implement DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM controllers and bridges using the device’s embedded memory and high-speed I/O support.
• PCI and peripheral connectivity — Support PCI Local Bus topologies at 3.3 V (per APEX-20K family notes) for host and peripheral interfacing.
• Communications and data aggregation — Use the device’s large I/O count and LVDS-capable signaling for multi-channel data capture and aggregation tasks.
• Embedded system integration — Combine LUT logic and ESBs to implement on-chip FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and system functions for SOPC-style designs.

Unique Advantages

• High integration density: 16,640 logic elements and roughly 1,052,000 gates reduce the need for multiple devices when consolidating complex logic and memory functions.
• On-chip memory versatility: Approximately 0.213 Mbits of embedded RAM in ESBs supports FIFO, dual-port RAM and CAM implementations, simplifying board-level memory design.
• Large I/O footprint: 502 user I/O pins enable extensive peripheral and bus connectivity without external I/O expanders.
• Flexible clocking: Multiple PLLs and global clock resources provide deterministic clock distribution and phase/delay control for timing-sensitive designs.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Designed for commercial temperature operation (0 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment.
