EP20K600EBC652-1X

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The Altera EP20K600EBC652-1X is a high-density Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the APEX 20KE family. It features a MultiCore architecture integrating Look-Up Table (LUT) logic, product-term-based macrocells, and Embedded System Blocks (ESBs). The device provides 24,320 Logic Elements (LEs), 2,432 macrocells, and up to 311,296 RAM bits. It operates with an internal supply voltage of 1.8 V and supports MultiVolt I/O standards including 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5.0-V levels. The component is housed in a 652-pin Ball Grid Array (BGA) package.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• MultiCore architecture combining LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory for system-on-a-programmable-chip integration.
• High density with 24,320 LEs, 2,432 macrocells, and 311,296 maximum RAM bits.
• Supports MultiVolt I/O interface for 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5.0-V devices.
• Includes four phase-locked loops (PLLs) and ClockLock clock management circuitry.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Complex state machines and combinatorial-intensive functions.
• Register-intensive data-path and digital signal processing (DSP) designs.
• Memory implementations including FIFO buffers, dual-port RAM, and content-addressable memory (CAM).

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'BC652-1X' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout and speed grade compatibility. Confirm RoHS compliance status as datasheets may vary by revision. Ensure design tools support the APEX 20KE family for compilation.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this device for applications requiring high logic density and mixed-mode programmability. The 1.8-V core voltage requires appropriate power sequencing. Verify that the 652-pin BGA package fits the board space constraints and thermal requirements. Check if the -1 speed grade meets timing requirements for target clock frequencies.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the APEX 20KE series, which extends the standard APEX 20K family with enhanced features like LVDS support and additional global clocks. The 'E' suffix denotes the Enhanced version with broader I/O standard support compared to non-E variants.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitutes are listed. Consider newer Intel/Altera FPGA families such as Cyclone or Arria for modern replacements, noting architectural differences and software toolchain changes from Quartus II legacy support.
