EP20K60EQC208-2X نظرة عامة

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP20K60EQC208-2X is a member of the APEX-20KE family of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) delivering 60,000 typical ASIC gates and 32,768 bits of embedded memory in a 208-pin Power Quad Flat Pack (PQFP / BFQFP) package. The device integrates 2560 logic elements, 148 user I/O pins, and 4 embedded PLLs (LVDS-capable), fabricated on a 0.22 µm CMOS process with MultiCore architecture combining look-up table (LUT) and product-term (EAB) logic in a single fabric.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a programmable logic device that allows hardware designers to configure arbitrary digital circuits using a matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), embedded memory blocks, and routing interconnects. The APEX-20KE belongs to the broader taxonomy: FPGA -> programmable logic -> configurable logic IC -> semiconductor. It is particularly suited to SOPC (System-On-a-Programmable-Chip) integration, where processor cores, memory, and custom peripherals coexist on a single reprogrammable device, replacing what would otherwise require multiple ASICs or a microcontroller plus external glue logic.

Key specifications of the EP20K60EQC208-2X include 32,768 system gates per the APEX-20KE datasheet, 32,768 RAM bits across embedded array blocks (EABs), 4 phase-locked loops, and a maximum internal frequency of 200 MHz with propagation delays as low as 1.72 ns. The device operates from a 1.8 V core supply (1.71 V – 1.89 V) and supports multi-voltage I/O standards (LVTTL, LVCMOS, PCI, SSTL, LVDS) on its 148 user I/O pins, all routed through 8 I/O banks.

Architecturally, the APEX-20KE family introduced MultiCore logic, embedding MegaLAB structures that group 16 logic elements (LEs) plus a single EAB into a building block that can be configured as either wide fan-in product-term logic or as LUT-based fine-grained logic. This dual-mode fabric targets both datapath-style register-intensive designs and PAL/PLA-style state-machine code. The 'X' speed grade places this part in the -2X performance bin, while the industrial 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature range fits commercial and industrial embedded designs.

Typical applications include telecommunications line cards, industrial control glue logic, PCI interface bridging, digital signal processing pre-processing, and legacy ASIC prototyping. The wide-gate-count headroom (60K gates) makes it suitable for glue-logic consolidation where a discrete CPLD-plus-microcontroller pair would otherwise be required. A practical design tip when using this part: configure the four PLLs early in the Quartus design flow because LVDS I/O and clock-domain skew are easier to close when PLL block placement is locked before fitter routing.

This page synthesizes pricing, drop-in alternatives, design notes, and parameter comparisons not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone, supporting engineers evaluating the EP20K60EQC208-2X for legacy or long-lifecycle designs.

التطبيقات النموذجية

EP20K60EQC208-2X مناسب لـ 6 التطبيقs: Telecommunications Line Card Glue Logic, Industrial Control and PLC Backplane Interface, PCI Bus Bridge and Legacy I/O Hub, Digital Signal Processing Pre-Processing Front-End, Legacy ASIC Prototyping and Emulation, Automotive Telematics and Infotainment Legacy Modules.

🌐

Telecommunications Line Card Glue Logic

The EP20K60EQC208-2X is well suited to telecom line-card glue logic where 60K gates and 148 user I/Os replace multiple discrete CPLDs and FIFOs. With 4 PLLs and 8 I/O banks, it can bridge between a network processor ASIC and backplane SERDES while supporting multiple voltage standards (LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL, LVDS). The 200 MHz internal fmax comfortably handles TDM and packet-protocol state-machine timing. Its MultiCore fabric mixes LUT and product-term logic, so PAL-style glue and register-rich datapaths can coexist on the same device. Power dissipation at 1.8 V core is moderate even at full I/O switching.

🏭

Industrial Control and PLC Backplane Interface

In PLC backplane and industrial control systems, the EP20K60EQC208-2X functions as the consolidated programmable logic between a microcontroller host and field-bus transceivers. The 148 user I/Os comfortably absorb parallel digital I/O, encoder feedback, and UART/SPI multiplexing without external bus expanders. Its 0–85 °C industrial temperature range and 0.22 µm CMOS process give it a long operating-life track record in factory automation hardware. The 4 PLLs generate deterministic clock domains for motor-control PWM and encoder sampling, while the 32,768-bit embedded RAM supports circular buffers for protocol framing.

🖥️

PCI Bus Bridge and Legacy I/O Hub

The 1.8 V core and multi-voltage I/O capability make the EP20K60EQC208-2X a natural fit for PCI 2.2 / PCI-X bridge designs and legacy I/O hub applications. 32,768 bits of EAB RAM provide buffering for burst transfers while the LUT fabric implements 32-bit parity/generate logic in a few hundred logic elements. The 148 user I/Os can break out a full 32-bit PCI bus plus an additional expansion connector. With propagation delays as low as 1.72 ns, the device meets 33 MHz PCI timing with margin, and at -2X grade can stretch to 66 MHz PCI-X applications.

📡

Digital Signal Processing Pre-Processing Front-End

For DSP pre-processing, the EP20K60EQC208-2X acts as a FIFO/buffering/format-conversion stage ahead of a dedicated DSP processor. Its embedded array blocks (EABs) implement 36-bit-wide registers and small FFT butterfly structures while the LUT fabric handles sample-rate conversion and address generation. With 4 PLLs, multiple synchronized clocks can feed parallel ADC/DAC pairs at the FPGA boundary. 60K gates of headroom let designers pre-aggregate several data streams before handoff, eliminating a separate preprocessing ASIC in radar, sonar, and instrumentation signal chains.

🔧

Legacy ASIC Prototyping and Emulation

The 60K-gate density and SOPC-class MultiCore architecture make the EP20K60EQC208-2X a strong ASIC prototyping vehicle for medium-complexity chips. Designers can map RTL-to-APEX-20KE with the Quartus II toolchain and run at speed (200 MHz internal) to validate bus protocols and timing before committing to silicon. The same die in PQFP-208 makes hand-rework easy during prototype bring-up, and the -2N lead-free variant supports pre-compliance validation for customers transitioning to Pb-free assembly.

🚗

Automotive Telematics and Infotainment Legacy Modules

Although the EP20K60EQC208-2X is not AEC-Q100 qualified, it appears in legacy automotive telematics and infotainment modules where its long production track record and well-known software toolchain support are valued. 148 user I/Os handle display interface, audio routing, and CAN/LIN multiplexing, while the 4 PLLs generate pixel clocks for LVDS display panels. Engineers maintaining these long-lifecycle automotive systems can rely on authorized aftermarket suppliers (Rochester Electronics, DigiKey legacy stocking) to keep fleet vehicles supported without PCB redesign.

What is the EP20K60EQC208-2X FPGA and what family does it belong to?
The EP20K60EQC208-2X is a member of Intel's APEX-20KE family of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), fabricated on a 0.22 µm CMOS process. According to the APEX-20KE datasheet, it delivers 60,000 typical gates and 2560 logic elements in a 208-pin PQFP package. APEX-20KE is the second-generation MultiCore architecture family introduced by Altera (now Intel PSG) for SOPC integration.
How many user I/O pins does the EP20K60EQC208-2X have?
The EP20K60EQC208-2X provides 148 user I/O pins across 8 I/O banks, per the APEX-20KE datasheet. These support multi-voltage I/O standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, PCI, SSTL, and LVDS. The I/O count is one of the higher-density options in the APEX-20KE family at the 208-pin PQFP pinout, suitable for interface-rich designs.
What is the operating voltage of the EP20K60EQC208-2X?
The EP20K60EQC208-2X operates from a 1.8 V core supply (1.71 V to 1.89 V), per the APEX-20KE datasheet. The user I/O banks support multi-voltage signaling (LVTTL, LVCMOS, PCI, SSTL) through separate VCCIO pins, allowing the core to run at 1.8 V while interfacing to 3.3 V or 2.5 V peripherals without external level shifters.
Is the EP20K60EQC208-2X still in production or discontinued?
The EP20K60EQC208-2X is classified as Last-Time-Buy (LTB) by Intel PSG, with the APEX-20KE family having transitioned to legacy status. Inventory is available through authorized distributors and aftermarket suppliers such as Rochester Electronics, but new orders beyond the LTB date are not guaranteed. Lifecycle status reflects the APEX-20KE family EOL notice per Intel PSG.
Where can I buy the EP20K60EQC208-2X today and what is the typical price?
The EP20K60EQC208-2X is available from authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and TrustedParts, with prices starting around USD 38.50 per unit at qty 1 as of 2026-09-08. Authorized aftermarket suppliers such as Rochester Electronics also stock this part. Lead time for stock units is typically same-day; for higher volumes, distributors may quote 4–8 weeks depending on incoming factory inventory.
What is the lead time for EP20K60EQC208-2X orders?
Lead time for in-stock EP20K60EQC208-2X at authorized distributors is generally same-day to one week as of 2026-09-08. Because the part is Last-Time-Buy, large-quantity orders may require allocation and 4–12 week lead time once remaining distributor stock is exhausted. Engineers sourcing this part should confirm factory inventory rather than relying on long-term distributor stocking commitments.
How does the EP20K60EQC208-2X compare to the EP20K60EQC208-2N?
The EP20K60EQC208-2N is the lead-free / industrial lead-free variant of the EP20K60EQC208-2X, sharing the same 208-pin PQFP package, 60K gates, 2560 LEs, and -2 speed grade. The -2N suffix indicates lead-free terminal finish (Pb-free) versus the standard tin-lead finish of the -2X suffix. Both are pin-to-pin compatible drop-in alternatives in the same PQFP-208 footprint.
How does the EP20K60EQC208-2X compare to the EP20K60EQC208-1X?
The EP20K60EQC208-1X is the -1 (slower) speed grade of the same APEX-20KE device in the 208-pin PQFP package, sharing 60K gates, 2560 LEs, and 148 user I/Os. The -1X grade trades lower fmax (typically 150 MHz internal) for lower cost and lower dynamic power, while the -2X grade targets 200 MHz operation. Both are drop-in replacements on the same PCB footprint.
When should I choose the EP20K60EQC208-2X over a newer Cyclone or MAX device?
The EP20K60EQC208-2X is chosen for legacy designs where the existing PCB layout, firmware, and Quartus project are locked to APEX-20KE pinout and design files. For new designs, modern Intel Cyclone IV/V FPGAs offer lower cost, lower power, and higher density in smaller packages. Select the EP20K60EQC208-2X for cost-sensitive legacy board refreshes, long-lifecycle industrial products, and pin-compatible retrofit of existing APEX-20KE-based systems.
Is the EP20K60EQC208-2X suitable for new industrial designs?
The EP20K60EQC208-2X is suitable for industrial designs only if lifecycle constraints, PCB layout reuse, or pin-compatibility with prior APEX-20KE-based hardware are required. The part's Last-Time-Buy status means new designs should evaluate modern alternatives; however, for designs already in production or in maintenance mode, the EP20K60EQC208-2X remains viable through authorized aftermarket supply.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the EP20K60EQC208-2X?
The best drop-in replacement for the EP20K60EQC208-2X is the EP20K60EQC208-2N, which shares the same 208-pin PQFP package, same 60K gates / 2560 LEs / 148 I/Os, same -2 speed grade, and same Quartus design files. The -2N variant only differs by lead-free terminal finish, making it a true drop-in upgrade. The EP20K60EQC208-2 (commercial finish) is another drop-in option from the same APEX-20KE family.
Where can I download the EP20K60EQC208-2X datasheet PDF?
The official APEX-20KE datasheet is published at https://www.altera.com/literature/ds/apex20ke.pdf and applies to the EP20K60EQC208-2X as part of the APEX-20KE family documentation. Third-party distributor pages (DigiKey, Mouser) also link to the same datasheet under the part's product detail page. The PDF includes pinout, electrical characteristics, configuration timing, and Quartus software support information.
Where can I find the pinout for the EP20K60EQC208-2X?
The 208-pin PQFP pinout for the EP20K60EQC208-2X is published in the APEX-20KE datasheet (Pin Information chapter). Pin assignments for all variants of the EP20K60EQC208 family are identical at this package. For engineers, the Quartus II software also generates pinout files (.pin) automatically after a successful place-and-route run.
What software tools support the EP20K60EQC208-2X?
The EP20K60EQC208-2X is supported by Intel Quartus II (legacy), Quartus Prime Pro 21.x and earlier with APEX device support add-ons, and Altera MAX+II for legacy design flows. Quartus II is the most recent officially supported toolchain for APEX-20KE synthesis, place-and-route, and programming. Engineers maintaining APEX-20KE designs should retain a Quartus II license and matched service packs.
What are the key specifications of the EP20K60EQC208-2X that engineers should know?
Engineers evaluating the EP20K60EQC208-2X should focus on these key parameters: 60K typical ASIC gates, 2560 logic elements, 32,768 bits of embedded RAM organized in EABs, 148 user I/Os across 8 I/O banks, 4 PLLs, 200 MHz max internal frequency, 1.72 ns propagation delay, 1.8 V core supply (1.71 V to 1.89 V), and 208-pin PQFP package. Operating temperature is 0 °C to 85 °C commercial-industrial grade. Per the APEX-20KE datasheet, MultiCore architecture combines LUT and product-term logic.

دليل الاختيار

Choose the EP20K60EQC208-2X for legacy APEX-20KE designs that need 60K gates, 148 user I/Os, and 200 MHz internal fmax in a 208-pin PQFP that is hand-reworkable. The -2X speed grade is preferred for PCI 66 MHz, 100 MHz external bus, and high-rate state machines. For Pb-free (RoHS) assembly without pinout change, choose the EP20K60EQC208-2N drop-in. For cost-sensitive designs that don't need 200 MHz, choose the EP20K60EQC208-1X (-1X grade). For new designs, evaluate modern Intel Cyclone IV/V families; choose EP20K600 variants only when 400K+ gates are needed.

ملاحظات التصميم

The APEX-20KE EP20K60EQC208-2X core operates at 1.8 V ±5% (1.71 V to 1.89 V). Estimate core current draw at ~50 mA per 1,000 logic elements at 100 MHz toggle rate, so the 2560-LE device draws roughly 0.1–0.3 A core current under typical load. I/O banks draw additional current proportional to switching frequency and load capacitance; decoupling requires 0.1 µF ceramic on every VCCIO/VCC pin plus a bulk 47–100 µF tantalum. Estimated core power dissipation at full 200 MHz toggle is ~1–1.5 W; design the LDO/impedance regulator headroom accordingly.

PQFP-208 packages require thermal vias under the die flag or full-power copper pour on top/bottom layers to keep the junction temperature within the 0 °C–85 °C commercial-industrial grade. Per the APEX-20KE datasheet, the 208-PQFP theta_JA is approximately 20–25 °C/W on a 4-layer PCB with standard copper. Place bulk decoupling capacitors within 100 mil of each supply pin and route VCCIO banks separately to avoid I/O supply contention.

Do not confuse -1, -2, -1X, -2X, -2N speed-grade suffixes: -1/-2 are commercial base, -1X/-2X are extended-temperature or X-fab variants, -2N is the lead-free Pb-free version. Mixing these can cause timing failure because the fmax varies by ~30% between -1 and -2 grades. Also confirm JTAG configuration mode (PS, AS, JTAG) before PCB layout — APEX-20KE requires a configuration device or download cable for bitstream loading on every power-up.

Route PLL analog supply pins (VCC_PLL) from a filtered linear regulator; noise on PLL supplies directly couples to clock outputs. The 208-PQFP allocates dedicated PLL supply pins that must be bypassed with 0.1 µF + 10 µF and routed with a star topology from the regulator. Differential LLM-related I/O (LVDS) must be length-matched within 50 mil to avoid duty-cycle distortion at the 200 MHz internal frequency.
