EP20K60ETC144-1X

The EP20K60ETC144-1X is an APEX-20KE series field programmable gate array packaged in a 144-LQFP surface-mount package. It integrates a MultiCore architecture with look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for memory and combinatorial functions, delivering a compact, programmable logic solution for commercial embedded and system applications.

With 2,560 logic elements, approximately 32,768 bits of embedded RAM, up to 92 user I/O pins and a nominal internal supply in the 1.71 V–1.89 V range, this device targets designs that require mid-range logic capacity, embedded memory and flexible I/O in a small-footprint package.

Key Features

• Core Architecture MultiCore architecture (APEX-20K family) integrating LUT-based logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks for register-intensive and memory functions.
• Logic Capacity 2,560 logic elements (LEs) supporting up to 162,000 gates for mid-density programmable logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 32,768 bits of on-chip RAM provided by ESBs to implement FIFOs, dual-port RAM and other memory structures.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility 92 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O interface support across the APEX-20K family to interface with multiple voltage domains as described in the family datasheet.
• Clock Management Family-level clock features include flexible clock management with multiple PLLs, low-skew clock tree and programmable phase/delay options for synchronous designs.
• Package and Mounting 144-LQFP (surface mount) package (144-TQFP 20×20 supplier package) for compact PCB layouts and automated assembly.
• Power Internal supply voltage specified at 1.71 V to 1.89 V for the device, supporting low-power operation modes described in the APEX-20K family documentation.
• Commercial Temperature Grade Rated for commercial operating temperatures from 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control Use as a programmable logic element for control, glue logic or protocol handling where 2,560 logic elements and on-chip RAM simplify system design.
• High-speed Interfaces Suitable for mid-range designs requiring flexible I/O signalling and clock management for interfacing to external memories and peripherals supported by the APEX-20K family.
• Prototyping and System Integration Ideal for developers creating proof-of-concept or production designs that need a compact FPGA with a balance of logic, RAM and I/O in a 144-LQFP package.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: Combines 2,560 logic elements with approximately 32,768 bits of embedded RAM to address register-intensive and memory-centric functions without external components.
• Flexible I/O Support: Up to 92 user I/O pins and family-level MultiVolt I/O support enable interfacing across multiple voltage domains and legacy/peripheral buses.
• Integrated Clock Features: Built-in clock management capabilities from the APEX-20K family help manage skew and provide programmable clock multiplication/division for synchronous systems.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 144-LQFP surface-mount package simplifies PCB integration for space-constrained designs while supporting automated assembly.
• Commercial-grade Reliability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for standard commercial applications and markets.
