EP20K200EFC484-1

Overview

The Altera EP20K200EFC484-1 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the APEX 20K family. It features a MultiCore architecture integrating Look-Up Table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and Embedded System Blocks (ESB). The device provides 8,320 Logic Elements (LEs), 526,000 maximum system gates, and 106,496 maximum RAM bits. It operates at an internal supply voltage of 2.5 V with support for MultiVolt I/O levels including 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V. The component is housed in a 484-pin FineLine BGA package measuring 23 x 23 mm with a 1.00 mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• MultiCore architecture combining LUT-based logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory functions.
• High-density capacity with 8,320 LEs, 832 macrocells, and up to 106,496 RAM bits.
• Supports MultiVolt I/O interface for 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5.0-V devices.
• Includes four phase-locked loops (PLLs) and ClockLock clock management circuitry.

Applications

• System-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration designs.
• Complex state machines requiring combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Register-intensive data-path and digital signal processing (DSP) applications.
• PCI Local Bus Specification compliant interfaces.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix (-1) against current manufacturer documentation to confirm timing characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older APEX 20K variants may have different environmental certifications. Ensure compatibility with the Quartus II development system version required for this legacy device family.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring high gate density with mixed logic types. Compare against EP20K200E variants if lower speed grades are sufficient. Verify that the 484-pin FineLine BGA package fits the board space constraints, noting the 23x23 mm footprint. Check power supply requirements for the 2.5 V core voltage.

Part Context

This component is part of the APEX 20K programmable logic device family introduced by Altera. It represents a generation of FPGAs designed for SOPC integration before the widespread adoption of Cyclone and Stratix families. The 'E' suffix indicates enhanced features such as MultiVolt I/O support compared to standard APEX 20K devices.
