EP20K600CF1020C8 Présentation

The Altera EP20K600CF1020C8 is a high-density programmable logic device from the APEX 20KC family, delivering 600,000 system gates and 24,320 logic elements on a 0.15 µm CMOS process. The device operates from a 1.8 V core supply and is packaged in a 1020-ball FineLine BGA with 1.00 mm pitch, providing 588 user I/O lines plus 4 dedicated inputs. The "C8" speed grade corresponds to an internal frequency of approximately 301 MHz, making it suitable for high-throughput data-path designs. PCI SIG Local Bus Revision 2.2 compliance is supported for both 32-bit and 64-bit, 33 MHz or 66 MHz operation at 3.3 V.

What is an APEX 20KC FPGA? The APEX 20KC family belongs to the broader category of programmable logic devices (PLDs), which sit hierarchically under FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) and CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices). APEX 20KC extends the original APEX 20K architecture by embedding dedicated True-Look-Up-Table memory blocks called ESBs (Embedded System Blocks), enabling single-chip implementation of logic, on-chip memory, and specialty functions such as CAMs and FIFOs. It occupies a specific position in the historical Altera roadmap between APEX 20K (logic-only) and the later Stratix family.

Key features include MultiVolt I/O support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V interfaces, hot-socketing capability, JTAG IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan testing, and a 4-wire serial configuration interface. The PLLs provide flexible clock management, while the ESBs can be configured as dual-port RAM up to 311 Kbit, ROM, or CAM. The device also supports DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM external memory interfaces through dedicated I/O circuitry.

Typical applications include telecommunications line cards, PCI bridge designs, high-speed digital signal processing, custom microcontroller implementation, and ASIC prototyping. Industrial designers frequently use the EP20K600CF1020C8 in 3.3 V backplane designs where its 588 I/Os replace multiple discrete glue-logic devices.

When designing with this part, ensure the PCB accommodates the 1.00 mm BGA pitch and that the multi-voltage I/O banks are powered correctly. Quiescent supply current rises significantly with logic utilization, so thermal dissipation analysis is recommended at >70 % utilization.

When should I choose EP20K600CF1020C8 over a Cyclone FPGA?
Choose the EP20K600CF1020C8 when you must maintain an existing APEX 20KC board design or need 588 I/Os in a single 1020-ball BGA. Choose a modern Cyclone or Stratix FPGA for new designs where active lifecycle support, lower core voltage, and Vivado/Quartus Prime synthesis tooling reduce long-term risk and cost.
Is EP20K600CF1020C8 pin-compatible with EP20K400CF672C8?
No, the EP20K600CF1020C8 is not pin-compatible with the EP20K400CF672C8. According to the Altera APEX 20KC datasheet, the 600K-gate device uses a 1020-ball FC-FBGA while the 400K-gate device uses a 672-ball FBGA — different ball counts and pinouts, so a PCB redesign is required.
What external memory does EP20K600CF1020C8 support?
The EP20K600CF1020C8 supports DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM external memory interfaces through dedicated I/O circuitry. According to the manufacturer datasheet, the MultiVolt I/O and PLL block allow byte-wide DDR at up to 133 MHz, enabling direct connection to modern high-bandwidth memory subsystems without glue logic.
What are the key specifications of EP20K600CF1020C8 engineers should know?
Engineers should know six headline specifications: 600,000 system gates, 24,320 logic elements, 588 user I/O pins, 311 Kbit embedded memory, 301 MHz internal frequency, and 1.8 V core with MultiVolt I/O. The 1020-ball FC-FBGA package with 1.00 mm pitch and PCI 2.2 compliance at 33/66 MHz complete the design-critical parameters as of 2026-09-08.

Notes de conception

The 1020-ball FC-FBGA package uses a 1.00 mm ball pitch. PCB layout requires HDI microvia stack-ups with 0.4 mm via pitch escape routing, plus a continuous ground plane beneath the BGA for return-current integrity. Recommended microvia aspect ratio is 1:1 or smaller for reliable assembly yield.

Core current scales with toggle rate and logic utilisation. At >70 % utilisation the EP20K600CF1020C8 typically draws 1.5-2.5 A on the 1.8 V VCCINT rail, so use a low-dropout regulator with at least 3 A headroom and decouple each VCCINT ball pair with 0.1 µF plus 10 µF bulk ceramic capacitors placed within 5 mm of the package.

The FC-FBGA package relies on PCB thermal conduction rather than a heatsink. At 2 A × 1.8 V ≈ 3.6 W dissipation, ensure the top and inner copper layers connected to GND provide at least 25 cm² of continuous pour. Without this, junction temperature may exceed the 125 °C limit and trigger thermal-shutdown-induced bit corruption during long configuration cycles.

MultiVolt I/O banks must each be powered even if unused, or the unpowered bank draws leakage that prevents configuration. Program all bank VCCIO pins before JTAG configuration. Also, MSEL pins must be tied to the correct logic level to select the configuration mode (Fast Passive Parallel, etc.).
