EP20K200EQC240-2N Présentation
An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a type of integrated circuit containing an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), embedded memory, and programmable interconnect that allows designers to implement custom digital logic after manufacture. FPGAs sit hierarchically within the broader category of programmable logic devices (PLDs), which themselves belong to the digital semiconductor family. Unlike ASICs, FPGAs are reprogrammable, making them ideal for prototyping, low-volume production, and designs requiring late-stage logic changes. The APEX-20KE family specifically targets high-density logic integration with embedded memory, blurring the boundary between traditional FPGAs and complex PLDs.
Key features of the EP20K200EQC240-2N include the MultiCore architecture combining look-up tables (LUTs) with embedded memory in each logic element, 832 macrocells equivalent in logic capacity, four phase-locked loops (PLLs) for clock management, and MultiVolt I/O supporting 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V interface voltages. The device also supports in-system programmability (ISP) via the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface, allowing configuration updates without removing the part from the board.
Technically, the APEX-20KE architecture separates logic and memory resources, allowing the 8,320 logic elements to be configured either as combinational logic or as small distributed RAM blocks, while the 106,496-bit ESB array provides larger dedicated memory blocks. The four PLLs enable sophisticated clock domain management with multiplication and division, and the Quartus II design toolchain supports schematic, VHDL, and Verilog entry. The 240-pin PQFP package offers a gull-wing surface-mount form factor suitable for standard SMT assembly lines.
Typical applications for the EP20K200EQC240-2N include telecommunications infrastructure (DSLAMs, SONET/SDH framing, protocol bridges), industrial control and factory automation (high-speed glue logic, motor control sequencing), military and aerospace signal processing (radar pre-processing, secure communications), and legacy computing interfaces (PCI bridges, custom bus controllers). The 168 available I/O pins accommodate parallel buses and multiple high-speed interfaces simultaneously.
When designing with this device, note that the APEX 20K family has been classified as mature/legacy by Altera (now Intel FPGA) and is supported only through the legacy Quartus II toolchain (versions 13.0 and earlier). New designs should consider Cyclone IV/V or MAX 10 families unless strict continuity with existing APEX-20KE firmware is required.
This page synthesizes distributor stock data, drop-in alternatives from the same APEX-20KE family, and practical design notes not found in the original datasheet to help engineers evaluate, source, and replace this legacy FPGA.

Applications typiques
EP20K200EQC240-2N convient pour 6 applications: Telecommunications Infrastructure, Industrial Control and Factory Automation, Legacy Computing Interface Bridges, Military and Aerospace Signal Processing, Test and Measurement Instrumentation, Medical Imaging Front-End.
Telecommunications Infrastructure
The EP20K200EQC240-2N is well suited for telecommunications line-card and central-office applications, including DSLAMs, SONET/SDH framers, and T1/E1 protocol bridges. Its 8,320 logic elements and 106,496 bits of embedded memory deliver the logic density required for multi-channel protocol termination, while the four PLLs synthesize the precise clock trees needed for PDH and SDH payloads. The 168 MultiVolt I/O pins interface directly to 3.3 V and 5 V bus transceivers used in legacy telecom backplanes, eliminating external level shifters and reducing BOM cost.
Recommandé
Industrial Control and Factory Automation
In factory automation and industrial control systems, the EP20K200EQC240-2N serves as a high-density glue-logic and sequencing engine. Its 200K gates easily absorb legacy discrete TTL or PLD designs into a single programmable device, simplifying PCB layout and improving reliability. The 168 user I/O directly drive 24 V isolated I/O modules via external level shifters, while the 4 PLLs synthesize the deterministic clock trees needed for multi-axis motion control. Industrial designers should specify the EP20K200EQI240-2N variant for -40 °C to +100 °C operation in unconditioned factory floors.
Recommandé
Legacy Computing Interface Bridges
The EP20K200EQC240-2N is widely used as a PCI, VME, or ISA bridge in legacy computing systems that require interface modernization without full board redesign. Its 8,320 logic elements implement bus-mastering state machines, DMA controllers, and interrupt arbiters with timing margins that match 33 MHz PCI specifications. The MultiVolt I/O interfaces to both 5 V legacy buses and 3.3 V modern peripherals on the same PCB, while the 1.8 V core minimizes power consumption compared to older 5 V PLDs. The PQFP-240 package supports hand-rework-friendly gull-wing leads for low-volume production.
Recommandé
Military and Aerospace Signal Processing
Defense and aerospace programs rely on the EP20K200EQC240-2N for radar pre-processing, secure communications encryption engines, and avionics data-acquisition front-ends. Its 200K-gate capacity implements real-time FIR filters, FFT stages, and protocol stack engines within a single device, reducing SWaP (size, weight, and power) compared to multi-chip discrete designs. The MultiVolt I/O tolerates the wide supply rails typical of 28 V aircraft buses after external regulation, and the PQFP package withstands the high-G shock and vibration profiles of MIL-STD-810 testing.
Recommandé
Test and Measurement Instrumentation
Test equipment manufacturers deploy the EP20K200EQC240-2N as the digital back-end of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol testers. Its 168 I/O pins capture or generate wide parallel data streams, while the embedded 106,496-bit ESB memory stores trigger patterns, capture buffers, and pre-computed waveforms. The four PLLs synthesize the precise clocks needed for high-speed ADC/DAC interfacing, and the 1.8 V core supply minimizes thermal dissipation in densely populated 6U PXI or VXI instruments. Engineers can also implement custom stimulus engines for in-system test of customer products.
Recommandé
Medical Imaging Front-End
Medical imaging modalities such as ultrasound scanners and MRI gradient controllers use the EP20K200EQC240-2N to implement beamformer data routing, image reconstruction pipelines, and patient-monitoring I/O. Its 8,320 logic elements provide the parallelism needed for channel multiplexing and digital down-conversion, while the four PLLs generate the phased clock trees used in transducer excitation. The PQFP-240 package is compatible with standard SMT lines and supports IEC 60601-1 EMI/EMC compliance when paired with proper PCB layout. Designers targeting medical applications should verify IEC 60601-1 compliance at the system level.

Principaux différenciateurs
- Commercial temperature grade with lead-free finish (vs EP20K200EQC240-2)
- Mid-speed grade for higher fmax (vs EP20K200EQC240-1N)
- Industrial temperature variant for harsh environments (vs EP20K200EQI240-2N)
Notes de conception
Estimated: power consumption of the EP20K200EQC240-2N depends heavily on switching activity and clock frequency, but typical designs draw 200-500 mA from VCCINT (1.8 V). Decouple each VCCINT pin with a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 3 mm of the pin, and add a 10 µF tantalum bulk capacitor per VCCIO bank. The MultiVolt I/O banks can operate at independent voltages, but unused VCCIO pins must still be tied to a valid supply to prevent floating-input oscillation.
The 240-pin PQFP package has 0.5 mm lead pitch with gull-wing leads; PCB land pattern should follow IPC-7351 nominal density with 0.27 mm pad width and 0.30 mm pad length. Place a continuous ground plane on layer 2 directly beneath the device to provide a low-impedance return path. Keep all configuration pins (MSEL, nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE) routed as short as possible and pulled to VCCIO with 10 kΩ resistors. Use 4-layer stackup (signal / ground / power / signal) for designs exceeding 50 MHz internal clock rates.
Do not assume the APEX-20KE family is supported by the current Quartus Prime toolchain - only legacy Quartus II versions 13.0 and earlier provide full APEX-20KE synthesis and place-and-route. New designs targeting APEX-20K silicon must install Quartus II Web Edition 13.0 from the Intel FPGA legacy download archive. Also note that the EQC suffix indicates commercial temperature grade; for industrial applications requiring -40 °C operation, the EQI240-2N variant must be specified instead.
Estimated: the PQFP-240 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of approximately 25 °C/W with adequate PCB copper area (per JEDEC EIA/JESD51 standards). At maximum junction temperature of 125 °C and 85 °C ambient, allowable dissipation is approximately 1.6 W. Active cooling (small heatsink or 200 LFM airflow) is recommended for designs with high toggle rates. The 0.22 µm CMOS process technology is mature; thermal cycling tests per JEDEC JESD22-A104 confirm reliability for industrial temperature grades.
