EP20K600EFC33-3

The EP20K600EFC33-3 is an APEX-20K® field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Altera, supplied in a 1020-BBGA FCBGA (33×33) package for surface-mount assembly. It is a commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant device intended for embedded and commercial system designs.

With 24,320 logic elements, approximately 0.31 Mbits of embedded memory (311,296 total RAM bits), 588 I/O pins and about 1,537,000 gates, the device targets applications that require substantial logic density and I/O capacity while operating from a 1.71–1.89 V core supply and within a 0 °C to 85 °C temperature range.

Key Features

• Core Logic 24,320 logic elements provide substantial capacity for implementing complex custom logic, state machines and glue logic within a single FPGA.
• Gate Count Approximately 1,537,000 gates enable large-scale logic integration and consolidation of discrete functions.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 0.31 Mbits of on-chip RAM (311,296 bits) supports buffering, FIFOs and small data storage needs directly inside the FPGA fabric.
• I/O Density 588 I/O pins deliver extensive interfacing options for parallel buses, multiple peripherals and multi-channel connectivity.
• Package and Mounting 1020-BBGA FCBGA (33×33) package, surface-mount mounting type, suitable for compact board layouts where high pin count is required.
• Power Core voltage supply range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V for compatibility with specified system power rails.
• Operating Range Commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C to match standard commercial embedded applications.
• Regulatory RoHS-compliant construction for environmental and regulatory compatibility in commercial products.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control logic, protocol handling and system integration where up to 24,320 logic elements and high I/O count are required.
• I/O-Intensive Interfaces — Use the 588 I/Os for bridging multiple peripherals, parallel interfaces or multi-channel sensor arrays.
• Data Buffering and Small Memory Functions — Leverage approximately 0.31 Mbits of embedded RAM for FIFOs, buffering and on-chip data staging in signal-processing chains.
• Prototyping and Integration — Consolidate discrete logic and custom functions into a single FPGA package to reduce board complexity and accelerate design iterations.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Capacity: 24,320 logic elements provide the density needed to integrate complex designs and reduce reliance on external CPLDs or discrete logic.
• Extensive I/O Resources: 588 I/Os enable direct connections to numerous peripherals and parallel buses without extra interfacing components.
• On-Chip Memory: Approximately 0.31 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces external memory dependency for buffering and temporary storage.
• Compact Ball Grid Package: 1020-BBGA FCBGA (33×33) offers a high pin-count footprint for space-constrained boards while supporting surface-mount assembly.
• Commercial Temperature Rating: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for a wide range of non-automotive, commercial applications.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental requirements for many commercial products.
