EP20K60EQC208-2XN

The EP20K60EQC208-2XN is an APEX-20KE family FPGA offered in a 208-BFQFP package. It implements a MultiCore architecture that combines look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded system block (ESB) memory to enable integrated, programmable system functions.

This device targets commercial embedded and system designs that require a balance of logic capacity, on-chip RAM, multi-voltage I/O flexibility and configurable clock management for applications such as bus interfacing, memory controllers and custom I/O logic.

Key Features

• Core architecture  MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic and embedded system block (ESB) memory for register‑ and combinatorial‑intensive functions.
• Logic resources  2,560 logic elements (LEs) and approximately 162,000 gates to implement mid-density logic and glue‑logic functions.
• On-chip memory  32,768 bits of embedded RAM available for FIFOs, dual‑port RAM and content‑addressable memory implementations using ESBs.
• I/O capability  148 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5.0 V levels referenced in the APEX 20K family), programmable slew and tri‑state control for flexible system interfacing.
• Clock management  Integrated clock resources including up to four PLLs, a low‑skew clock tree and features such as ClockLock, ClockBoost and ClockShift for phase/delay control and clock multiplication/division.
• Low‑power design  Designed for low‑power operation with internal supply range specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V and ESB programmable power‑saving modes.
• External memory and bus support  Architecture supports high‑speed external memories (including DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM) and bus interfaces; family notes PCI compliance for certain configurations.
• Package & mounting  Supplied in a 208‑BFQFP package (supplier device package listed as 208‑PQFP (28x28)); surface‑mount device suitable for standard PCB assembly workflows.
• Commercial temperature grade  Operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Bus and bridge interfaces  Use the device’s MultiVolt I/O and PCI‑related features to implement custom bus logic, peripheral bridging and protocol adaptation.
• Memory controller and buffering  Implement DDR/ZBT memory interfaces, FIFOs and buffering using the embedded system block memory and on‑chip RAM.
• Custom I/O and glue logic  Deploy for complex I/O aggregation, signal conditioning and timing-handling tasks where multiple voltage domains and programmable I/O are required.
• Clocked digital systems  Leverage integrated PLLs and clock management features for controlled clock distribution, phase shifting and clock multiplication/division in synchronous designs.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated system building blocks: The MultiCore architecture and ESBs consolidate LUT logic and embedded memory, reducing external component count for many system functions.
• Balanced mid‑density resources: 2,560 logic elements and ~162,000 gates provide a practical mix of capacity for custom logic and control functions without the overhead of higher‑density devices.
• Flexible I/O and interfacing: 148 user I/Os plus MultiVolt support enable straightforward connections across multiple voltage domains and standard interfaces.
• Robust clock control: Multiple PLLs and clock features let you tailor clocking topology and timing for high‑performance synchronous designs.
• Power‑conscious operation: Low‑voltage internal supply range and ESB power‑saving options help manage board‑level power budgets.
• Commercial grade and RoHS compliant: Suitable for a wide range of commercial embedded applications with RoHS environmental compliance.
