EP20K200RC240-3N Overview

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP20K200RC240-3N is a member of the APEX 20K family of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) fabricated on a 0.22 µm CMOS process, integrating approximately 200,000 system gates and 8,320 logic elements (LEs) in a 240-pin RQFP package with exposed pad. It supports a maximum internal clock frequency of 167 MHz and operates from a 2.5 V core supply.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor integrated circuit whose logic function is defined after manufacturing by the end user. FPGAs occupy a unique position in the integrated circuit taxonomy: programmable logic device (PLD) -> FPGA -> system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC). They are widely used as prototyping vehicles and as low-volume production alternatives to custom ASICs, providing high I/O count, embedded memory, and parallel processing capability unavailable in fixed-function microcontrollers or DSPs.

Key features of the EP20K200RC240-3N include MultiCore architecture that integrates look-up table (LUT) logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory in a single device. The device exposes 174 user I/O pins, four dedicated inputs, and supports LVDS signaling in some APEX 20KE variants. Maximum propagation delay is rated at 3.6 ns through the I/O pad, and the device provides on-chip phase-locked loops (PLLs) and embedded system blocks (ESBs) for distributed dual-port RAM.

The APEX 20K family introduced the MultiCore concept that combined fine-grained LUT logic with coarse-grained product-term logic, allowing designers to mix data-path and control logic efficiently. The -3N speed grade designates the standard-speed commercial-temperature grade with Pb-free (lead-free) packaging, suitable for designs that do not require the higher-performance -2 or -1 grades or the wider -I industrial temperature option.

Typical applications include telecommunications line-card interfaces, custom DSP preprocessing blocks, industrial motor-control glue logic, prototyping bridges to ASICs, and high-speed data-acquisition front-ends where 174 user I/Os are required. The exposed pad on the 240-RQFP package aids thermal dissipation but is electrically bonded to ground.

When designing with this device, account for its NRND status - it has not been recommended for new designs since the APEX 20K family was superseded by Cyclone, Stratix, and Arria families. New designs should target a Cyclone III/IV/10 LP or MAX V equivalent unless legacy compatibility is required.
