EP20K1000EFC33-1

Overview

The EP20K1000EFC33-1 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the Altera APEX 20KE series. It features 51,840 logic elements and 5,184 Logic Array Blocks (LABs). The device includes 432 kbit of embedded memory and operates at a maximum frequency of 180 MHz. It requires a single 1.8 V power supply and supports 508 I/O pins within an FBGA-33 package. The component is rated for commercial temperature ranges from 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• High-density architecture with 51,840 logic elements and 5,184 LABs
• Integrated 432 kbit embedded memory capacity
• Operates on a fixed 1.8 V power supply voltage
• Supports up to 508 I/O connections in FBGA-33 packaging

Applications

• Digital video processing systems requiring high-speed logic
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial control applications with moderate I/O requirements

Procurement Notes

This component is officially discontinued by the manufacturer. Verification of availability should focus on surplus distributors or secondary market sources. Buyers must confirm RoHS compliance status, as indicated by 'N' in available records, and check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a 1.8 V supply constraint exists alongside a need for approximately 50k logic elements. The FBGA-33 package limits pin count compared to larger packages in the same family. Ensure design tools support legacy APEX 20KE devices if Quartus Prime version compatibility is a concern.

Part Context

The EP20K1000EFC33-1 is part of the APEX 20KE family, which succeeded the original APEX 20K series. This generation introduced improved performance and lower power consumption while maintaining compatibility with existing design flows. It represents a mid-range solution within the legacy Altera portfolio before the transition to Cyclone and Stratix families.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific discontinued model. Designers typically migrate to modern Intel/Altera FPGA families such as Cyclone V or Arria 10, requiring significant architectural redesign due to differences in logic blocks, memory structures, and I/O standards.
