EP20K60ETC144-3

The EP20K60ETC144-3 is an APEX-20KE series field programmable gate array (FPGA) optimized for mid-density system integration. It uses a MultiCore architecture combining look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs) to implement register-intensive logic, memory functions, and combinatorial logic.

With 2,560 logic elements, approximately 32.8 kbits of embedded memory, flexible MultiVolt I/O and advanced clock management, this device targets embedded control, high-speed I/O buffering and system-on-programmable-chip integration where compact packaging and commercial-grade operation are required.

Key Features

• Logic Density 2,560 logic elements providing programmable logic resources and up to 162,000 system gates reported for this device family.
• Embedded Memory 32,768 total RAM bits (approximately 32.8 kbits) for FIFOs, dual-port RAM and small buffering tasks implemented in ESBs.
• I/O Flexibility 92 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 as described for the APEX 20K family.
• Clock & Timing Flexible clock management including multiple PLLs, built-in low-skew clock tree and features for clock phase, delay shifting and multiplication/division.
• Power & Supply Internal supply voltage in the range 1.71 V to 1.89 V and family-level low-power design options such as programmable ESB power-saving modes.
• Package & Mounting Surface-mount 144-LQFP (144-TQFP 20×20) package for compact board-level integration.
• Commercial Temperature & Compliance Rated for commercial operation from 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control & System Integration Implement custom logic, protocol bridging and embedded peripherals using the MultiCore architecture and ESBs for integrated functions.
• Memory Interfacing & Buffering Use the device's ESBs and on-chip RAM for FIFO buffers, dual-port RAM and small scratchpad memory in memory interface designs.
• High-Speed I/O & Communications Deploy in applications requiring flexible I/O voltages and advanced clock management for synchronous data paths and high-speed signalling.
• Prototyping & Custom Logic Leverage 2,560 logic elements and the APEX 20K feature set to prototype and validate mid-density programmable logic designs.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated MultiCore Architecture: Combines LUT logic, product-term logic and ESBs to implement both logic- and memory-intensive functions on a single device.
• Balanced Logic and Memory Resources: 2,560 logic elements alongside approximately 32.8 kbits of embedded RAM enable compact implementation of control and buffering tasks without external memory for small designs.
• MultiVolt I/O Support: Interfaces with multiple I/O voltage domains (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5.0 V) to simplify integration with mixed-voltage systems.
• Flexible Clocking: Multiple PLLs and low-skew clock distribution support complex clocking schemes, phase/delay adjustment and clock multiplication/division.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 144-LQFP package provides a space-efficient solution for board-level integration while preserving ample I/O and routing.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for standard commercial application environments.
