EP20K200EBC652-2X

Overview

The EP20K200EBC652-2X is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the APEX 20K family, manufactured by Altera. It features a high-density programmable logic architecture designed for complex system integration. The device utilizes a MultiCore architecture that integrates Look-Up Table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory within a single chip. This combination allows for efficient implementation of register-intensive functions via LUTs and memory functions via Embedded System Blocks (ESBs).

Feature Summary

• Integrates Look-Up Table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory in a single-chip solution.
• Supports System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration capabilities.
• Utilizes Embedded System Blocks (ESBs) to implement memory functions including FIFOs.

Applications

• Complex digital signal processing implementations.
• Protocol conversion systems.
• Image recognition hardware acceleration.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix '-2X' against official datasheets to confirm timing characteristics. Ensure the BGA-652 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the manufacturer's documentation for this specific revision.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high logic density and embedded memory are required within the APEX 20K ecosystem. Consider the trade-off between LUT-based flexibility and product-term efficiency. Evaluate if the ESB capacity meets the on-chip memory requirements for the intended design complexity.

Part Context

This part belongs to the APEX 20K family, which was among the first PLDs to incorporate SOPC integration. The family combines traditional macrocell structures with advanced LUT logic and embedded memory blocks, offering a versatile platform for mid-to-high density applications prior to the Stratix generation.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the EP20K30EFC144-2X or other variants in the APEX 20K series. Verify pin compatibility and logic resource availability before substituting. Cross-family migration may require significant design rework due to architectural differences.
