EP20K600CB652C8

The EP20K600CB652C8 is an APEX-20KC family field programmable gate array (FPGA) offering a high-density, MultiCore architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded memory. With 24,320 logic elements, approximately 0.31 Mbits of embedded memory and 488 user I/O pins, this commercial-grade, surface-mount device targets mid-to-high‑density custom logic, memory-interface, and high-speed I/O applications.

Built on a copper-metal fabrication process and designed for low-power operation, the device provides flexible voltage and clock management options to support complex system designs requiring embedded RAM, abundant logic resources, and versatile I/O signaling.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 24,320 logic elements (LEs) delivering approximately 1,537,000 maximum system gates for medium-to-high density logic integration.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 311,296 total on-chip RAM bits for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and other memory functions without reducing available logic.
• I/O Capacity and Flexibility — 488 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V and 3.3 V interfaces; programmable output slew-rate and individual tri-state control.
• Clock Management — Up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs) and up to eight global clock signals with ClockLock, ClockBoost and ClockShift features for phase, multiplication/division and skew reduction.
• Advanced Interconnect — Copper interconnect with hierarchical FastTrack interconnect, dedicated carry and cascade chains, and interleaved local routing for predictable, low-delay signal paths.
• Performance & Process — 0.15‑µm all-layer copper-metal fabrication process delivering improved performance and reduced power relative to prior-generation devices.
• Package & Mounting — 652-ball BGA package (45 × 45 mm) in a surface-mount form factor suitable for compact board designs.
• Power & Temperature — Internal supply around 1.8 V (product supply range 1.71 V to 1.89 V); commercial operating range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards & Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Development Ecosystem — Supported by the APEX 20KC software toolchain and Altera megafunctions for place-and-route and function IP.

Typical Applications

• High-speed memory interfaces — Implement DDR SDRAM or ZBT SRAM controllers and buffering logic using abundant embedded RAM and dedicated memory blocks.
• Bus and protocol bridging — Support PCI/PCI‑compatible system interfacing and custom bus bridges using flexible I/O voltage support and high I/O count.
• LVDS and high-throughput I/O links — Implement multi-channel LVDS receive/transmit paths and other high-speed serial interfaces using available I/O resources.
• Custom control and state machines — Realize register‑intensive functions and complex control logic leveraging LUT-based registers and plentiful logic elements.

Unique Advantages

• High integration density: 24,320 logic elements and roughly 1.54 million gates enable complex designs without external glue logic.
• Significant on-chip memory: Approximately 0.31 Mbits of embedded RAM supports FIFOs, buffers and memory-mapped functions while preserving logic resources.
• Flexible I/O and voltage support: 488 I/Os with MultiVolt capability simplify interfacing to a variety of system-level components and memory devices.
• Robust clocking features: Four PLLs and multiple clock-management features provide low-skew, phase control and frequency scaling for timing-critical designs.
• Compact BGA packaging: 652-BGA (45 × 45 mm) provides a small-footprint solution for board-level space optimization.
• Commercial readiness: Surface-mount, RoHS-compliant device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation for mainstream commercial applications.
