EP20K200EFC484-2AB

Overview

The Altera EP20K200EFC484-2AB is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the APEX 20K family. It features 8,320 logic elements and 526,000 typical system gates. The device includes 106,496 maximum RAM bits and supports up to 376 user I/O pins. It operates with a 2.5 V internal supply voltage and utilizes a 484-pin FineLine BGA package measuring 23x23 mm. The architecture integrates look-up table logic, product-term logic, and embedded system blocks for high-density system-on-a-programmable-chip designs.

Feature Summary

• MultiCore architecture combining LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory
• Embedded System Blocks (ESB) supporting FIFO, dual-port RAM, and CAM functions
• Flexible clock management with up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs)
• MultiVolt I/O interface supporting 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5.0-V levels

Applications

• System-on-a-programmable-chip integration
• High-speed data path and digital signal processing
• Complex state machine implementation
• PCI Local Bus Specification compliance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AB' against official documentation, as standard datasheets typically list 'C7N' or '-2' variants. Confirm RoHS status and moisture sensitivity level prior to procurement, as older APEX 20K devices may have different environmental classifications than current Intel FPGA standards.

Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring a mix of register-intensive and combinatorial logic within a single chip. Ensure the design fits within the 8,320 LE limit and 106,496 bit memory capacity. Verify that the 484-pin FBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints and that the 2.5 V core voltage aligns with the power delivery network.

Part Context

This component is part of the APEX 20K family, which was among the first PLDs to incorporate SOPC integration. The EP20K200 variant represents a mid-range density option in the series, offering a balance between logic resources and I/O count. It is supported by the Quartus II development system for compilation and configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Consider consulting Intel's official obsolescence notices or cross-reference guides for modern Agilex or Cyclone families if availability is a constraint.
