EP20K60ETC144-2

The EP20K60ETC144-2 is an APEX-20KE family FPGA offering a balanced mix of logic, embedded memory, and I/O in a compact 144-LQFP package. Built on the APEX 20K MultiCore architecture, the device integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to support register‑intensive and memory‑centric functions.

Targeted at commercial designs that require moderate logic density and on-chip RAM, this device delivers 2,560 logic elements, 32,768 bits of embedded RAM and 92 user I/O pins while operating from a 1.71 V–1.89 V supply and a 0 °C–85 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Core architecture: APEX-20KE MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic and embedded memory to support a mix of register‑intensive and combinatorial functions.
• Logic capacity: 2,560 logic elements providing a deployable logic fabric for mid‑scale programmable designs; approximately 162,000 maximum system gates as defined for this class.
• Embedded memory: 32,768 total RAM bits suitable for FIFOs, small buffers and dual‑port RAM implementations using ESBs.
• I/O and interfacing: 92 user I/O pins to connect external peripherals and memory interfaces; family-level support for a wide range of I/O standards is provided by the APEX 20K architecture.
• Clocking and timing: APEX 20K family clock management features such as PLLs, a low‑skew clock tree and multiple global clocks (documented at the family level) to support synchronous designs.
• Package and mounting: Surface-mount 144-LQFP package (supplier device package listed as 144‑TQFP, 20×20) for PCB integration in space-efficient board layouts.
• Power and temperature: Internal supply range 1.71 V–1.89 V and commercial operating temperature range from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards and compliance: RoHS compliant, supporting regulatory and environmental requirements for commercial products.

Typical Applications

• Networking and Communications: Implement protocol bridging, packet buffering and interface logic using on‑chip ESBs and moderate logic capacity.
• Memory Interface and Buffering: Use embedded RAM and ESB features to create FIFO buffers, dual‑port RAM or small memory controllers for external memory subsystems.
• Embedded Systems and Prototyping: Rapidly iterate custom logic, peripheral glue and system integration functions in commercial equipment and development platforms.
• High‑speed I/O Subsystems: Leverage the device’s I/O count and APEX family I/O capabilities for interfacing with a variety of voltage levels and high‑speed signaling standards supported by the family.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory: Combines 2,560 logic elements with 32,768 bits of embedded RAM to implement mixed compute-and-buffer designs without external memory for small data sets.
• Integrated MultiCore architecture: Family-level MultiCore integration of LUTs, product-term logic and ESBs enables efficient mapping of both register-intensive and memory-centric functions.
• Flexible clock management: APEX 20K family clock features such as PLLs and a low‑skew clock tree help simplify timing closure for multi‑clock designs.
• Compact, surface-mount package: 144-LQFP (144‑TQFP 20×20 supplier designation) supports dense PCB designs while providing ample I/O for mid-scale systems.
• Commercial-grade operation: 1.71 V–1.89 V supply operation and 0 °C–85 °C temperature range make the device suitable for a wide range of commercial electronic products.
