EP20K200EFC484-2AA

Overview

The EP20K200EFC484-2AA is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the APEX 20KE family, manufactured by Altera. It features the MultiCore architecture integrating look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks (ESB). The device provides 8,320 logic elements, 52 embedded system blocks, and up to 106,496 RAM bits. It operates with a 2.5-V internal supply voltage and supports MultiVolt I/O levels of 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V. Packaged in a 484-pin FineLine BGA measuring 23 x 23 mm with a 1.00-mm pitch, it supports bidirectional I/O performance up to 250 MHz.

Feature Summary

• MultiCore architecture combining LUT-based logic for register-intensive functions and product-term logic for combinatorial-intensive tasks.
• Embedded System Blocks (ESB) supporting FIFO buffers, dual-port RAM, and content-addressable memory (CAM).
• Flexible clock management with four phase-locked loops (PLLs), ClockLock, ClockBoost, and ClockShift features.
• MultiVolt I/O interface supporting 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5.0-V devices.

Applications

• System-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration designs.
• PCI Local Bus Specification compliant interfaces at 33 or 66 MHz.
• High-speed external memory controllers for DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM.
• Digital signal processing (DSP) and mathematical applications requiring fast arithmetic chains.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix -2AA against official documentation to confirm temperature range and speed grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older APEX 20K variants may not meet current standards. Ensure availability through authorized channels given the component's age.

Selection Notes

Select this model for high-density logic applications requiring mixed LUT and product-term resources. Verify that the 484-pin FineLine BGA package fits the board layout constraints. Ensure the design utilizes the 2.5-V core voltage and compatible I/O standards supported by the MultiVolt interface.

Part Context

This component is part of the APEX 20KE series, which extends the original APEX 20K family with enhanced features like additional global clocks and advanced I/O standards. It represents a high-end programmable logic solution from Altera before the transition to Cyclone and Stratix families.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Consider consulting Intel FPGA migration guides for modern equivalents such as Cyclone or Agilex families if obsolescence is a concern.
