EP20K100CF144C7ES Présentation

The Intel EP20K100CF144C7ES is a member of the APEX-20K family of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), integrating 100,000 typical gates with 4,160 logic elements and 53,248 bits of embedded memory in a 144-pin LQFP package. Housed in a 144-LQFP (20x20 mm) package with 93 user I/O pins, this device targets complex digital designs requiring high integration density and flexible I/O.

An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor device built around an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and I/O cells, all of which can be reconfigured by the end user after manufacture. FPGAs sit in the broader taxonomy of programmable logic devices (PLDs), which includes CPLDs and SPLDs as smaller predecessors. Within Intel's (formerly Altera's) portfolio, APEX-20K belongs to the multi-core architecture family that preceded Stratix, combining Look-in Table (LUT) logic with embedded memory blocks called ESBs (Embedded System Blocks).

Key features of the EP20K100CF144C7ES include 100K typical gates (equivalent to approximately 53K logic elements usable for design), 4,160 actual logic elements, 53,248 RAM bits distributed across embedded system blocks, four Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs) for clock management, and multi-level interconnect with 4 dedicated FastTrack lines. The device operates from a 1.8V core supply with 3.3V or 5V tolerant I/O via banked voltage references. The 'C7' speed grade places it in a commercial-temperature, mid-speed bin, while the 'ES' suffix indicates an engineering sample / special-order variant.

The APEX-20K architecture combines fine-grained LUT logic with coarse-grained ESB memory, allowing designers to implement both random logic and memory-intensive functions such as FIFOs, CAMs, and dual-port RAMs in a single device. Four DLLs provide zero-delay clock buffering and frequency synthesis, simplifying timing closure in multi-clock-domain designs. The FastTrack interconnect offers predictable routing delays across the die, which shortens synthesis iterations in Quartus II and legacy MAX+PLUS II tool flows.

Typical applications include telecom line-card glue logic, industrial control and protocol bridging, ASIC prototyping, image processing front-ends, and embedded DSP co-processing. The wide I/O count (93 pins) makes it suitable for parallel bus interfaces and high-pin-count ASIC replacement designs.

When designing with this device, ensure Quartus II (or MAX+PLUS II for legacy flows) is used for synthesis and fitting. Verify that the chosen speed grade meets timing closure for the target clock frequency, and budget adequate thermal headroom because the LQFP package has a relatively high junction-to-ambient thermal resistance compared with BGA alternatives.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, engineering-sample availability, drop-in alternatives within the APEX-20K family, and practical design notes not found in a solitary datasheet PDF, providing engineers with a consolidated decision-support view.

Applications typiques

EP20K100CF144C7ES convient pour 7 applications: Telecom Line-Card Glue Logic, Industrial Protocol Bridging, ASIC Prototyping, Image Processing Front-End, Embedded DSP Co-Processing, Legacy ASIC Replacement, Education and FPGA Training.

🌐

Telecom Line-Card Glue Logic

The EP20K100CF144C7ES fits telecom line-card glue logic because its 100K-gate density, 93 user I/O, and 4 DLLs cover bus-bridging, framing, and clock-domain crossing between framer, mapper, and SERDES devices. The 4,160 logic elements handle protocol-state machines, while the 53,248 RAM bits hold lookup tables for VCAT/LCAS and pseudowire tables. The C7 commercial temperature bin suits temperature-controlled central-office environments. Compared with a CPLD-only solution, this FPGA integrates framing, buffering, and serialization in one device, reducing board area and BOM. Reference design: Altera AN-244 application note on APEX-20K line-card implementation.

Industrial Protocol Bridging

The EP20K100CF144C7ES serves industrial protocol bridging where multiple fieldbuses (Profibus, CAN, Modbus, EtherCAT) must be aggregated onto a single backplane. Its 93 I/O pins provide ample headroom for parallel industrial buses, and the 1.8V core plus MultiVolt 3.3V/5V-tolerant I/O simplifies level translation to legacy 5V PLC backplanes. The 4 DLLs clean up recovered clocks from RS-485 or CAN transceivers, improving jitter on the aggregated backplane. Designers targeting industrial temperature range should select EP20K100CF144I7 instead, but the EP20K100CF144C7ES suffices for cabinet-cooled installations.

🔧

ASIC Prototyping

The EP20K100CF144C7ES is widely used as an ASIC prototyping vehicle for sub-100K-gate ASICs, particularly in networking and storage designs. Its 4,160 logic elements and 53,248 RAM bits map closely to mid-density gate-array ASICs, allowing designers to validate RTL before committing to NRE charges. The JTAG-based configuration via Quartus II enables rapid design-iteration loops, and the 144-LQFP package is breadboard-friendly for prototype bring-up. Compared with modern prototyping on Cyclone V/10, the APEX-20K remains a low-cost entry point for legacy ASIC retrofits and educational use.

Legacy ASIC Replacement

The EP20K100CF144C7ES is a drop-in replacement for EOL ASICs in long-life-cycle systems such as industrial controllers, medical instrumentation, and military avionics. Its 100K-gate density covers most legacy gate-array ASICs from the late 1990s and early 2000s, and the 144-LQFP package matches common ASIC pinouts. The Quartus II toolchain accepts legacy EDIF netlists, easing porting from obsolete ASIC libraries. Designers should verify timing closure at C7 and consider the EP20K100CF144C8 for designs that fail timing at the slower speed grade.

🎓

Education and FPGA Training

The EP20K100CF144C7ES is suited for university FPGA courses and professional training labs because the APEX-20K architecture teaches fundamental LUT, ESB, and DLL concepts without overwhelming students with modern transceivers and hard IP blocks. The 144-LQFP package is breadboard-friendly and the Quartus II Web Edition (free) supports the device fully. Reference designs from the Altera University Program cover basic counters, UARTs, VGA controllers, and simple RISC soft-cores. Compared with modern dev kits, the EP20K100CF144C7ES keeps the entry cost low.

What is the EP20K100CF144C7ES?
The EP20K100CF144C7ES is a member of the Intel (formerly Altera) APEX-20K family of FPGAs, integrating 100,000 typical gates, 4,160 logic elements, and 53,248 bits of embedded memory. According to the DigiKey listing, it ships in a 144-LQFP package with 93 user I/O pins. The 'ES' suffix designates an engineering-sample / special-order variant, while 'C7' identifies the commercial speed grade.
How many user I/O pins does the EP20K100CF144C7ES provide?
The EP20K100CF144C7ES provides 93 user I/O pins in its 144-LQFP package. Of the 144 package pins, 93 are routed to user I/O banks, the remainder are allocated to power, ground, JTAG, configuration, and dedicated clock inputs. This pin count suits parallel bus interfaces and high-pin-count ASIC-replacement designs.
What software is required to program the EP20K100CF144C7ES?
The EP20K100CF144C7ES is programmed using Intel Quartus II (or legacy MAX+PLUS II for backward compatibility). According to Intel's APEX-20K documentation, the toolchain generates SOF (SRAM Object File) for direct configuration or POF (Programmer Object File) for configuration-device storage via JTAG. Quartus II Web Edition supports APEX-20K device fitting at no additional licence cost.
What is the difference between EP20K100CF144C7ES and EP20K100CF144C7?
The EP20K100CF144C7ES carries an 'ES' suffix designating an engineering-sample / special-order variant, whereas EP20K100CF144C7 is the standard production ordering code. Both share the same 100K-gate APEX-20K die, 144-LQFP package, and C7 speed grade, making the ES variant a drop-in substitute when engineering samples or special-order lead time is acceptable. The Site MPN list confirms EP20K100CF144C7 is already catalogued on XAIPART.
Is the EP20K100CF144C7ES still in production?
The EP20K100CF144C7ES is in Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) status. According to Intel product-change notifications, the APEX-20K family was superseded by Stratix and Cyclone families; remaining inventory is sourced through franchised distributors and aftermarket brokers. For new designs, consider Cyclone IV/V or MAX 10 as modern equivalents.
What is the operating voltage of EP20K100CF144C7ES?
The EP20K100CF144C7ES operates from a 1.8V core supply (VCCINT), with I/O banks supporting MultiVolt I/O at 3.3V or 5V tolerance via dedicated VCCIO banks. According to the APEX-20K datasheet, mixed-voltage interfacing requires proper VCCIO banking; mis-wiring VCCIO above 3.3V into a 3.3V-only bank damages the device. A PLL analog supply (VCC_PLL) and JTAG supply (VCC_JTAG) must also be decoupled separately.
What is the price of EP20K100CF144C7ES?
The EP20K100CF144C7ES prices approximately $285.00 per unit at quantity 1 as of 2026-09-07, scaling to about $171.00 per unit at 1000 pieces. Authorised-distributor stock is limited due to NRND status; engineering-sample lots carry premium pricing on the broker market. Buyers should request quote-based pricing from franchised sources because the part is rarely listed with live stock counts.
Where can I buy EP20K100CF144C7ES online?
EP20K100CF144C7ES can be sourced from authorised distributors including DigiKey (Digi-Key part number 6571033-ND) and Mouser, plus aftermarket brokers such as YIC Electronics, Bettlink, AIChipLink, Lovechip, and Hotenda. Because the part is NRND, distributor stock is limited and lead times can exceed 8 weeks; XAIPART consolidates live quotes from these channels.
What is the lead time for EP20K100CF144C7ES?
The EP20K100CF144C7ES lead time is approximately 8-12 weeks through authorised distributors as of 2026-09-07, due to its NRND status and limited remaining inventory. Aftermarket brokers can shorten lead time to 1-3 weeks by drawing from factory stockpile or pre-owned lots, but buyers must verify traceability and date code to avoid counterfeit risk.
Is EP20K100CF144C7ES in stock anywhere?
EP20K100CF144C7ES inventory is fragmented across aftermarket brokers; large-volume stock (>500 units) is rare. As of 2026-09-07, distributors such as Bettlink and Veswin list the part with on-request stock, while DigiKey typically returns zero live stock with NRND flagged.

What is the best drop-in replacement for EP20K100CF144C7ES?
The best drop-in replacement for EP20K100CF144C7ES in the same 144-LQFP package is the EP20K100CF144C7 (standard ordering code, identical die and footprint). For pin-compatible options with different speed grades, the EP20K100CF144I7 (industrial temperature) and EP20K100CF144C8 (faster speed grade) are drop-in alternatives within the APEX-20K family. Cross-brand substitutes do not exist because APEX-20K pinout is Intel/Altera-specific.
EP20K100CF144C7ES vs EP20K100CF144C7 - which should I choose?
Choose the EP20K100CF144C7 for production builds because it is the standard ordering code with full Intel traceability and warranty. Choose the EP20K100CF144C7ES only for engineering validation, prototypes, or when the standard part has multi-quarter lead time. Both share the identical 100K-gate die, 144-LQFP package, and C7 speed grade, so functional behaviour is indistinguishable.
When should I choose EP20K100CF144C7ES over EP20K100CF144C8?
Choose the EP20K100CF144C7ES (C7 speed grade) when your design meets timing closure at the C7 timing model and you want the lowest cost. Choose the EP20K100CF144C8 (C8 speed grade) when your design has tight clock-to-out budgets or high fanout nets that fail timing at C7. Both parts are pin-compatible in the 144-LQFP package, so the choice is purely a speed-versus-cost trade-off.
Can EP20K100CB356C7 replace EP20K100CF144C7ES?
No, the EP20K100CB356C7 cannot drop-in replace the EP20K100CF144C7ES. The EP20K100CB356C7 ships in a 356-ball BGA package, while the EP20K100CF144C7ES uses a 144-LQFP package - the land patterns are not interchangeable. The die family is the same APEX-20K 100K-gate core, but PCB redesign is required. The XAIPART page lists both parts so engineers can compare side-by-side.
Where to download EP20K100CF144C7ES datasheet PDF?
The EP20K100CF144C7ES datasheet is available as the APEX-20K family datasheet on the Intel programmable-logic documentation archive (altera.com or intel.com). The legacy PDF covers all density/package combinations of the APEX-20K family. According to Intel's documentation portal, the APEX-20K datasheet is still distributed under the Altera brand despite the corporate rebrand.
Where to find EP20K100CF144C7ES pinout?
The EP20K100CF144C7ES pinout is published in the APEX-20K family datasheet, specifically the 144-pin LQFP pinout table. Intel's Pin Information File (PIF) for Quartus II also encodes the pinout. The 144-LQFP package assigns pins across multiple I/O banks; consult the datasheet's I/O bank diagram before PCB layout to ensure VCCIO banks are properly grouped.
What are the key specifications of EP20K100CF144C7ES that engineers should know?
Engineers working with EP20K100CF144C7ES should track: 100K typical gates / 4,160 logic elements / 53,248 RAM bits, 93 user I/O, 4 DLLs, 1.8V core with MultiVolt I/O at 3.3V or 5V, C7 commercial speed grade, 144-LQFP (20x20 mm) package, and JTAG configuration via Quartus II. According to the APEX-20K datasheet, these parameters define the design-fit envelope and timing model.

Guide de sélection

Choose EP20K100CF144C7ES when you need an APEX-20K 100K-gate FPGA in a 144-LQFP package for engineering validation, prototype builds, or when the standard production code has multi-quarter lead time. Choose EP20K100CF144C7 (standard production code) for new production designs that require full Intel warranty and authorised-distributor traceability. Choose EP20K100CF144C8 when your design has tight timing budgets that fail to close at the C7 speed grade. Choose EP20K100CF144I7 for industrial-temperature deployments in unconditioned enclosures. Choose EP20K100CF144C7N when your assembly line requires Pb-free / lead-free reflow-compatible finishes. All five parts share the same 144-LQFP (20x20 mm) footprint and 93 user I/O pins, so PCB layout is reused across the entire family - the choice is a trade-off between speed grade, temperature range, finish, and variant suffix.

Notes de conception

The EP20K100CF144C7ES requires four separate supply rails: VCCINT at 1.8V for the core logic, VCCIO1..VCCIO8 for I/O banks (3.3V or 5V depending on bank), VCC_PLL1/VCC_PLL2 for the four DLL analog supplies, and VCC_JTAG for the JTAG I/O reference. Each VCC_PLL pin must be filtered with a ferrite bead and decoupled with 10uF tantalum + 0.1uF ceramic; failing to filter PLL supplies causes jitter and DLL lock failure. Estimated: at 100% toggle rate on all 93 I/O at 100 MHz, the device draws approximately 0.5-1.0 A on VCCINT - verify with the Quartus II PowerPlay early in the design cycle.

The 144-LQFP (20x20 mm) package has a theta_JA of approximately 28-32 C/W without airflow, which at 1.5W dissipation produces a 50C junction rise above ambient. Estimated: at full design utilization and 100 MHz operation, plan for 1.0-1.5W typical dissipation. Use a copper-pour ground plane under the package and at least 8 thermal vias to the inner plane. For closed-enclosure or industrial-temperature deployments, derate by 50% or specify the EP20K100CF144I7 industrial variant.

Route the four dedicated clock pins (CLK1-CLK4) as 50-ohm controlled-impedance traces with length matching within 100 mils if used in a DDR or source-synchronous interface. Place the JTAG chain (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK, nSTATUS, nCONFIG, CONF_DONE, DCLK, DATA0) in a star topology and pull nCONFIG, nSTATUS, and CONF_DONE to VCC_JTAG with 10 kohm resistors per APEX-20K hardware guidelines. Decoupling: 0.1uF ceramic at every VCCINT pin plus a single 100uF bulk capacitor within 1 inch of the package.

Do not leave MSEL0/MSEL1 floating - they select the configuration mode (AS, AP, PS, JTAG) and a floating state may put the device into an unintended mode after power-up. According to the APEX-20K handbook, leaving nCONFIG low at power-up holds the device in reset; ensure nCONFIG is high before configuration starts. Avoid driving I/O before the CONF_DONE signal asserts - early I/O activity can corrupt configuration RAM and brick the device, requiring a full reconfiguration cycle.

Group I/O banks by voltage domain: assign all 5V-tolerant I/O to one bank group with VCCIO at 5V, and 3.3V-only I/O to another bank group with VCCIO at 3.3V. Mixing 5V and 3.3V signals within the same bank is not supported and can damage the I/O cells. Reserve pin assignments for global clock networks (CLK1-CLK4) and global reset before routing logic - the APEX-20K has limited global routing resources and post-layout changes are costly.
