EP20K60EBC356-1

The EP20K60EBC356-1 is a commercial-grade APEX-20KE family FPGA offered in a 356-LBGA package. It implements a MultiCore™ architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded memory blocks (ESBs), making it suitable for designs that require a mix of register-intensive logic and on-chip memory.

With 2,560 logic elements, approximately 32.8kbits of embedded RAM, 196 user I/Os and a maximum system gate count of 162,000, this device targets commercial embedded systems, communications and general-purpose programmable logic applications where moderate density, flexible I/O and on-chip memory are required.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic Core MultiCore architecture combining LUT-based logic and product-term logic for efficient implementation of register- and combinatorial-intensive functions; device family gate density listed at 162,000 maximum system gates.
• Logic Resources 2,560 logic elements available to implement custom logic and state machines in a compact FPGA footprint.
• Embedded Memory 32,768 total RAM bits (approximately 32.8kbits) provided by ESBs for FIFOs, dual-port RAM or CAM-style structures.
• I/O Capability 196 user I/O pins to support a wide range of peripheral interfaces and board-level connections.
• Clock Management Family-level support for up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs), multiple global clocks and clock features such as ClockShift and ClockBoost for flexible timing control.
• Power and Voltage Internal supply and operating ranges provided for low-power operation; this device’s specified internal supply range is 1.71 V to 1.89 V per product data.
• Package and Mounting 356-LBGA (356-BGA, 35×35 mm) surface-mount package for high-density board integration.
• Operating Range and Compliance Commercial temperature grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control and logic Implement control state machines, protocol handlers and glue logic where on-chip RAM and moderate logic density accelerate development.
• Communications and interfaces Use the device’s flexible I/O and on-chip memory for packet buffering, interface bridging and protocol adaptation in commercial communication equipment.
• Memory buffering and data path Leverage ESBs for FIFO and dual-port RAM implementations to support streaming and buffering between subsystems.
• Prototyping and system integration Rapidly iterate system-on-programmable-chip (SOPC) concepts that combine logic, memory and I/O in a single FPGA package.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated memory and logic: ESBs and LUT/product-term logic in a single device reduce the need for external RAM in many buffering and control tasks.
• Balanced density for commercial designs: 2,560 logic elements and a 162,000-gate system capacity provide a practical balance of logic and gate counts for mid-range applications.
• Flexible I/O count: 196 user I/Os support multiple peripherals and board-level interfaces without excessive external routing complexity.
• Clocking flexibility: Multiple PLLs and global clocks enable deterministic clock distribution and phase adjustments for synchronized multi-domain designs.
• Compact, surface-mount package: The 356-LBGA (35×35) package provides high pin count and thermal characteristics suited to dense PCB layouts.
• Commercial-grade and RoHS compliant: Designed for commercial operating conditions (0 °C to 85 °C) and compliant with RoHS environmental requirements.

Why Choose EP20K60EBC356-1?
