EP20K200EFI484-2X

Overview

The Altera EP20K200EFI484-2X is an APEX 20K series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) housed in a 484-pin FineLine BGA package. It features the MultiCore architecture, integrating Look-Up Table (LUT) logic, product-term-based macrocells, and Embedded System Blocks (ESB). The device provides 8,320 Logic Elements (LEs), 52 ESBs, and supports up to 106,496 RAM bits. It operates with a 2.5-V internal supply voltage (VCCINT) and supports MultiVolt I/O levels of 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V. The -2 speed grade indicates specific timing performance characteristics for this component.

Feature Summary

• MultiCore architecture combining LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory.
• 8,320 Logic Elements (LEs) and 832 maximum macrocells.
• Up to 106,496 maximum RAM bits via Embedded System Blocks (ESBs).
• Supports MultiVolt I/O interface for 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5.0-V devices.

Applications

• System-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration.
• Complex state machine implementations using product-term logic.
• Register-intensive digital signal processing (DSP) functions.
• PCI Local Bus Specification compliant interfaces.

Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'X' against official documentation, as standard datasheets typically list 'EP20K200EFI484-2'. Confirm temperature range and RoHS status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as these parameters are not explicitly defined by the suffix in the provided source material.

Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring high-density logic with mixed LUT and product-term capabilities. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 484-pin FineLine BGA package (23x23 mm). Verify that the design utilizes the 2.5-V core voltage and compatible I/O standards supported by the APEX 20K family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the APEX 20K family, which was among the first PLDs to incorporate SOPC integration. The 'E' suffix denotes enhanced features such as additional global clocks and advanced I/O support compared to standard APEX 20K devices. The 'I' indicates the FineLine BGA package type, and '484' specifies the pin count.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Engineering changes or obsolescence notices should be consulted for potential replacements within the APEX 20K family or newer Intel FPGA architectures.
