EP20K60EQC208-3

The EP20K60EQC208-3 is an APEX-20KE® family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in a 208-BFQFP package for surface-mount applications. It implements the APEX MultiCore architecture combining LUT-based logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for integrated memory and product-term logic.

Designed for system-on-a-programmable-chip applications, the device targets designs that require moderate logic density, on-chip RAM, flexible I/O interfacing, and programmable clock management within a commercial-temperature range.

Key Features

• Core Logic 2,560 logic elements (LEs) and an architecture that integrates LUT logic and product-term logic for register- and combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Embedded Memory Total on-chip RAM: 32,768 bits (approximately 32 Kbits) provided by ESBs suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM, or CAM implementations.
• I/O Resources 148 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support across the APEX 20K family, enabling interfacing with multiple voltage domains.
• Clocking and Timing Family-level support for flexible clock management including up to four PLLs, low-skew clock trees, and programmable clock phase/delay features.
• Power Internal supply operating range specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V for low-power operation consistent with APEX 20K device characteristics.
• Package & Mounting 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) for surface-mount assembly, with a commercial operating temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.
• Standards and Integration APEX 20K family features such as MultiVolt I/O, supported high-speed I/O standards, and embedded system blocks that facilitate SOPC-style integration.
• Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded systems: Implement control logic, state machines, and local memory arrays using the device’s 2,560 logic elements and 32 Kbits of on-chip RAM.
• High-speed I/O interfaces: Use the MultiVolt I/O capability for bridging between different voltage domains and for designs requiring flexible I/O signaling.
• Custom digital logic and prototyping: Rapidly develop and verify custom logic functions, leveraging the LUT-based fabric and embedded system blocks for memory-intensive blocks like FIFOs.
• Peripheral and bus interfacing: Integrate peripheral logic or interface controllers where programmable clock management and multi-domain I/O are needed.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated logic and memory: On-chip ESBs and LUT logic reduce external memory needs for many mid-density designs, simplifying PCB layout.
• Flexible I/O support: MultiVolt I/O capability enables straightforward interfacing with a range of external devices and voltage domains.
• Programmable clock management: Built-in PLLs and clock-shift features allow precise timing control inside the FPGA, aiding synchronous system design.
• Commercial-temperature qualification: Specified for 0°C to 85°C operation to match typical commercial application environments.
• Compact, surface-mount package: 208-BFQFP (28×28) offers a balance of pin count and board-space efficiency for medium-density implementations.
