EP20K60EQC208-1

The EP20K60EQC208-1 is an APEX-20KE® Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 208‑BFQFP package designed for commercial applications. It integrates a MultiCore architecture with look-up table (LUT) logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to support register‑intensive and memory‑intensive functions.

With 2,560 logic elements, approximately 32,768 bits of embedded memory, and 148 user I/Os, this device targets mid-density programmable logic requirements where integration, flexible I/O, and on‑chip memory are key design drivers.

Key Features

• Core Logic  2,560 logic elements providing combinatorial and register resources suitable for mid-density designs; device family supports LUT-based and product-term logic as part of its MultiCore architecture.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 32,768 bits of on-chip RAM implemented via embedded system blocks (ESBs) that can be used for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, and content-addressable memory as described for the APEX‑20K family.
• I/O Capacity and Flexibility  148 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5.0 V per APEX‑20K family specifications), enabling straightforward interfacing with a variety of peripheral voltage domains.
• Clock and Timing  On‑chip clock management features from the APEX‑20K family including multiple PLLs, low‑skew clock tree and multiple global clock signals to support synchronous design needs.
• Power  Designed for low‑power operation with an internal supply voltage in the 1.71 V to 1.89 V range and family-level power‑saving ESB modes.
• Package and Mounting  208‑BFQFP surface‑mount package (supplier device package: 208‑PQFP, 28×28) for standard PCB assembly processes.
• Operating Conditions  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Density and Capacity  Up to 162,000 gates of logic capacity (family figure applicable to EP20K60E class) supporting a broad set of mid‑range designs.

Typical Applications

• Embedded System Integration  Use the ESBs and LUT resources to implement memory buffers, FIFOs, and custom logic in SOPC-style system-on-chip implementations.
• Interface Bridging and Protocol Support  MultiVolt I/O and abundant I/O count make the device suitable for bridging between different voltage domains and interfacing with diverse peripherals.
• Memory and Buffer Control  On-chip RAM and dual-port memory capabilities enable buffering and temporary storage for data path or communication applications.
• General-Purpose Logic Acceleration  Mid-density logic and dedicated interconnect features support acceleration of control, signal processing, and glue‑logic tasks in commercial products.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Integration: Combines 2,560 logic elements with embedded memory to reduce external component count for mid-density systems.
