EP20K600CF672I8

The EP20K600CF672I8 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 blocks. It targets complex logic and interface tasks where a mix of abundant logic resources, on-chip RAM, and flexible I/O is required.

With 24,320 logic elements, approximately 0.31 Mbits of embedded memory, support for MultiVolt I/O and advanced clock management, this device is suited for designs requiring programmable logic, embedded system blocks (ESBs) for FIFOs and dual-port RAM, and robust I/O connectivity in industrial temperature environments.

Key Features

• Core & Logic  MultiCore architecture using LUT-based logic; includes 24,320 logic elements and dedicated carry and cascade chains for arithmetic and high-fan-in logic.
• Embedded Memory  ESBs providing approximately 0.31 Mbits (311,296 bits) of RAM usable without reducing available logic; ESBs support FIFOs, dual-port RAM and CAM implementations.
• I/O & Interfaces  508 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V and 3.3 V interfaces, programmable clamp to VCCIO, programmable output slew-rate and individual tri-state control. Supports advanced I/O standards referenced in the device architecture.
• Clock & Timing  Flexible clock management with up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs), built-in low-skew clock tree, up to eight global clocks and features for programmable clock phase, delay and multiplication/division.
• Power & Process  Low-power design with a nominal internal supply around 1.8 V (product data lists 1.71 V to 1.89 V supply range) and copper interconnect to help reduce power consumption.
• Package & Temperature  Surface-mount 672-BBGA package (supplier device package: 672-FBGA, 27×27) and industrial operating temperature range from −40 °C to 100 °C.
• Density & Capacity  System gate capacity consistent with the APEX 20KC family (product data lists 1,537,000 gates for this device class) and tools support for design implementation.
• Design Tools & Ecosystem  Architecture supported by vendor toolchains and megafunction libraries for synthesis, place-and-route and optimized IP use (as described for the APEX 20KC series).

Typical Applications

• High-performance interface bridging  Implement PCI/PCI-X or other protocol bridging and custom bus logic using abundant logic elements and flexible I/O voltage support.
• Memory interface controllers  Design DDR SDRAM or ZBT SRAM controllers and buffering logic leveraging ESBs and the device's memory support.
• Multi-channel serial/parallel data processing  Use LVDS and other high-speed I/O channel support for data acquisition, aggregation and packet processing.
• Register-intensive control and buffering  Implement register-heavy state machines and FIFO-based buffering using LUT logic and ESBs for deterministic performance.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 24,320 logic elements and a system-gate capacity consistent with the EP20K600C class enable complex designs to be implemented on-chip.
• Significant embedded memory: Approximately 0.31 Mbits of on-chip RAM provided by ESBs lets you implement FIFOs, dual-port RAM or CAM without consuming LUT resources.
• Flexible, MultiVolt I/O: Support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V and 3.3 V I/O simplifies interfacing to mixed-voltage systems and reduces external level-shifting needs.
• Advanced clock management: Up to four PLLs, low-skew clock tree and programmable clock features enable precise timing control for complex synchronous designs.
• Industrial temperature range: Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C operation for deployments that require extended environmental robustness.
• Proven architecture and tool support: APEX 20KC family features such as dedicated carry/cascade chains and vendor design tools streamline implementation of arithmetic, control and memory functions.
