EP20K200EFC672-3

Overview

The Altera EP20K200EFC672-3 is an APEX 20KE Field Programmable Gate Array in a 672-pin FineLine BGA package. It features the MultiCore architecture with 8,320 logic elements and 52 Embedded System Blocks (ESBs). The device operates at a maximum system frequency of 180 MHz with a 1.8 V internal supply voltage. It supports MultiVolt I/O standards including 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V levels. Key features include four PLLs, SignalTap embedded logic analysis, and compliance with PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2.

Feature Summary

• MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic, and ESB memory
• 8,320 Logic Elements and 52 Embedded System Blocks for high-density design
• Four Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) with ClockLock and ClockBoost capabilities
• SignalTap embedded logic analyzer for in-system design evaluation

Applications

• System-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration
• Complex state machines and register-intensive digital signal processing
• PCI Local Bus interface designs
• High-speed external memory controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be subject to obsolescence. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level handling requirements prior to assembly. Ensure the specific -3 speed grade matches timing constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring 8,320 LEs and extensive memory resources within a 672-pin footprint. The -3 speed grade offers 180 MHz performance. Verify that the target application utilizes 1.8 V core voltage and compatible I/O standards supported by the APEX 20KE family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the APEX 20KE family, which extends the standard APEX 20K series with enhanced I/O standards and additional clock resources. It represents a high-end programmable logic solution from Altera before the transition to Stratix architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Consider Intel/Altera Stratix or Arria families for modern replacements, though pinouts and architectures differ significantly.
