EP20K200EBC652-3

Overview

The EP20K200EBC652-3 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the Altera APEX 20KE family. It features 8,320 logic elements and approximately 200,000 system gates, fabricated using a 0.22-micron, six-layer metal process. The device integrates 104 kbit of embedded memory within Embedded System Blocks (ESBs). It operates at a maximum frequency of 170 MHz with a supply voltage of 2.5 V. The component is housed in a BGA-652 package and supports high-density I/O configurations for complex digital logic applications.

Feature Summary

• APEX 20KE architecture with 8,320 logic elements and 832 Logic Array Blocks (LABs)
• Integrated 104 kbit Embedded System Block (ESB) memory
• 0.22 μm six-layer metal CMOS process technology
• System gate capacity of approximately 200,000

Applications

• High-speed data processing systems
• Complex protocol implementation
• Digital signal processing interfaces
• Custom logic integration in communication equipment

Procurement Notes

This component is part of the APEX 20K series, which has reached end-of-life status. Verification of authenticity is critical due to potential availability from secondary markets. Confirm the specific suffix 'EBC652' corresponds to the BGA-652 package variant and check RoHS compliance records, as older batches may not meet current environmental standards.

Selection Notes

Select this device when designs require the specific 8,320 LE density and ESB memory configuration of the APEX 20KE family. The BGA-652 package is suitable for high-pin-count applications requiring compact form factors. Ensure design tools support the legacy APEX 20K architecture, as modern toolchains may have limited compatibility with discontinued families.

Part Context

The EP20K200EBC652-3 is a member of the APEX 20K family, representing one of Altera's high-performance FPGA lines prior to the Stratix generation. The 'E' suffix typically denotes enhanced features or specific process revisions within the 20K series. This part number specifically identifies the 200,000-gate density variant in a 652-ball grid array package.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are generally unavailable due to the discontinuation of the APEX 20K family. Designers should evaluate migration paths to Intel/Altera Cyclone, Arria, or Stratix families, noting significant architectural differences in logic blocks and memory structures.
