EP20K200EFC484-2

Overview

The EP20K200EFC484-2 is an APEX 20KE Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Altera, utilizing the MultiCore architecture. It features 8,320 logic elements (LEs), 52 ESBs, and 106,496 maximum RAM bits. The device operates at a 2.5 V internal supply voltage with MultiVolt I/O support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V levels. It includes four PLLs, up to eight global clock signals, and supports LVDS performance up to 840 Mbits per channel. Packaged in a 484-pin FineLine BGA measuring 23 x 23 mm with a 1.00 mm pitch, it offers 376 user I/O pins.

Feature Summary

• MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESBs).
• High-density configuration with 8,320 LEs, 52 ESBs, and 106,496 RAM bits.
• Advanced clock management with four PLLs, ClockLock, and ClockBoost features.
• Support for high-speed standards including PCI-X, AGP, LVDS, SSTL-2/3, and HSTL Class I.

Applications

• System-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration designs.
• Complex state machines and combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Register-intensive data-path and DSP applications.
• High-speed external memory interfaces such as DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or certified secondary market suppliers. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as indicated by 'N' in some listings, and check for moisture sensitivity level 3 handling requirements during storage and assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring mixed LUT and product-term logic within a single die. Ensure power supply design accommodates the 2.5 V core voltage and appropriate VCCIO levels. Verify that the 484-pin FBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the APEX 20KE family, which extends the standard APEX 20K series with enhanced I/O standards and additional clock resources. The 'E' suffix denotes the extended feature set, while 'FC484' specifies the FineLine BGA package type.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Consider consulting Intel's official migration guides for modern FPGA families if obsolescence is a concern.
