EP20K60EQI208-2X

The EP20K60EQI208-2X is an APEX-20KE family FPGA from Intel, offering a MultiCore™ architecture that integrates lookup-table logic, product-term logic and embedded memory for system-on-programmable-chip (SOPC) applications. With 2,560 logic elements, approximately 32,768 bits of embedded RAM, and 148 user I/O pins in a 208-BFQFP package, this device targets industrial embedded systems and mid-density programmable logic applications where integration, flexible I/O and on-chip memory are important.

Key Features

• Core Architecture — APEX-20KE MultiCore™ architecture integrating LUT logic and product-term logic, optimized for register- and combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Logic Capacity — 2,560 logic elements (LEs) and up to 162,000 system gates for implementing mid-density logic functions.
• Embedded Memory — 32,768 bits of on-chip RAM (embedded system blocks) suitable for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and other memory functions.
• I/O and Interfaces — 148 user I/O pins with MultiVolt™ I/O interface support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5.0 V signaling, plus advanced I/O standards supported across the APEX-20K family.
• Clock and Timing — Flexible clock management with up to four PLLs, a built-in low-skew clock tree and up to eight global clock signals for complex timing domains.
• Power — Designed for low-power operation with internal supply requirements specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V and ESB programmable power-saving options noted in the family datasheet.
• Package & Mounting — 208-BFQFP surface-mount package (supplier package: 208-PQFP 28×28) for compact board integration.
• Temperature & Grade — Industrial grade operation with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards & Testability — Family-level features include JTAG boundary-scan support as part of the APEX-20K architecture.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement control logic, motor control interfaces or protocol bridging with 2,560 logic elements and local RAM for buffering and state storage.
• Communications and I/O Bridging — Use flexible MultiVolt I/O and abundant user pins for protocol translation, I/O aggregation and board-level interface logic.
• Embedded System Integration — Combine LUT logic and embedded system blocks to build on-chip FIFOs, small RAM buffers and control-state machines for compact SOPC designs.
• Memory Interface Support — Leverage embedded RAM and family-level support for external memory interfaces in mid-density designs requiring deterministic timing.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated SOPC Architecture: Combines LUT, product-term logic and embedded memory to consolidate discrete components and simplify system design.
• Flexible I/O Voltage Support: MultiVolt I/O capability (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5.0 V) enables direct interfacing to multiple logic families without extensive level-shifting.
• On-Chip Memory Resources: Approximately 32,768 bits of embedded RAM provide local buffering for FIFOs and small data structures, reducing external memory needs.
• Robust Clock Management: Multiple PLLs and a low-skew clock tree simplify multi-domain timing and support clock multiplication, division and phase adjustments at the device level.
• Industrial Temperature Rating: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation, suitable for a wide range of industrial embedded environments.
• Compact Surface-Mount Packaging: 208-BFQFP (28×28 PQFP footprint) delivers a balance of pin count and PCB area for dense board layouts.
