EP20K200RC208-2 סקירה
The Altera (now Intel) EP20K200RC208-2 is a member of the APEX-20K family of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), packaged in a 208-pin PowerQuad/QFP form factor with exposed thermal pad. The device integrates approximately 200,000 system gates and provides 8,320 logic elements backed by 106,496 bits of embedded SRAM, making it suitable for high-density logic and on-chip memory designs. The "RC208" suffix denotes the 208-pin BQFP/RQFP package, while the "-2" speed grade identifies an industrial-temperature, mid-speed variant optimized for balance between performance and cost.
A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a type of integrated circuit that can be configured by the customer or designer after manufacturing - hence "field-programmable". FPGAs occupy a hierarchy of programmable logic: programmable logic device (PLD) -> complex PLD (CPLD) -> FPGA -> system-on-chip FPGA. The APEX-20K family specifically combines look-up table (LUT) based logic with embedded memory blocks and a MultiCore architecture, allowing designers to implement glue logic, register-heavy datapaths, DSP blocks, and small to medium-sized microprocessors in a single device.
Key features of the EP20K200RC208-2 include 144 maximum user I/O pins, 8320 logic elements (LEs), 106,496 RAM bits organized into embedded array blocks (EABs), and in-system programmability through the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface plus Altera's legacy configuration scheme. The device supports multi-voltage I/O standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, PCI, and GTL+ on a per-pin basis, enabling mixed-voltage system integration without external level shifters.
Architecturally, the EP20K200 implements Altera's MultiCore architecture with embedded array blocks (EABs) for memory and logic array blocks (LABs) routed via a continuous FastTrack interconnect. Each LE contains a 4-input LUT, a programmable register, and dedicated carry chain logic for arithmetic operations. The combination of LUT logic, EAB-based memory, and high fan-out routing makes the part well-suited to designs that require both moderate logic density and distributed RAM/ROM.
Typical applications include telecommunications line cards, industrial control and machine vision, legacy ASIC prototyping, low-volume networking routers, and embedded control in industrial automation. The exposed thermal pad (EP) on the 208-RQFP package aids heat dissipation, allowing reliable operation at industrial temperature ranges.
When designing with this part, ensure that the JTAG chain, configuration mode pins (MSEL), and power sequencing are correct for the chosen configuration EPROM. The APEX-20K family is now considered mature/legacy - designers should verify long-term availability through Rochester Electronics or franchised distributors and consider newer Cyclone or MAX series for new designs.
This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in same-family variants, and engineering guidance not found in the original APEX-20K datasheet - including explicit cross-brand sourcing limits and timing-grade selection notes.

What is the difference between EP20K200RC208-2 and EP20K200RC208-1?
The EP20K200RC208-2 and EP20K200RC208-1 share the identical 208-RQFP package, 200K system gates, 8320 LEs, and 106,496 RAM bits. The suffix difference indicates speed grade: "-1" is the slower grade, "-2" is the mid-speed grade. Both are pin-to-pin drop-in compatible within the APEX-20K RC208 package - substitute freely if timing closure can be achieved at the slower speed.
How does the EP20K200RC208-2 compare to the EP20K200FC484-2?
The EP20K200RC208-2 (208-RQFP, 144 user I/O) and the EP20K200FC484-2 (484-pin FineLine BGA, higher I/O count) share identical silicon: 8320 LEs and 106,496 RAM bits. They are NOT drop-in compatible due to different packages; choose RC208 for legacy PCB designs with QFP footprints and FC484 when the design requires >144 user I/O pins or finer BGA pitch.
When should I choose the EP20K200RC208-2 over the EP20K100?
Choose the EP20K200RC208-2 when your design needs 100,000-200,000 system gates or up to 8320 logic elements - the EP20K100 tops out at ~100K gates and 4160 LEs in the same package family. According to the APEX-20K datasheet, the EP20K200 doubles logic and memory capacity at a modest cost premium, making it the right choice for designs where EP20K100 utilization exceeds 70%.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EP20K200RC208-2?
The best drop-in replacement for the EP20K200RC208-2 is the EP20K200RC208-1 (same 208-RQFP package, same 8320 LEs, slower speed grade) - guaranteed pin-to-pin compatible within the APEX-20K RC208 family. Other same-package APEX-20K RC208 speed-grade variants (e.g. RC208-3 if available) are also drop-in. For cross-package migration, redesign is required - no drop-in exists outside the RC208 family.

הערות תכנון
The EP20K200RC208-2 requires separate VCCINT (core) and VCCIO (I/O) supplies. VCCINT is typically 2.5V for APEX-20K 0.18um devices, while VCCIO supports 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V depending on the I/O standard selected per pin. Decouple each VCCINT/VCCIO pin with a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor placed within 5mm of the pin, plus bulk decoupling at the regulator output. Power sequencing: VCCINT must reach 90% of nominal before VCCIO exceeds 1.0V to avoid I/O latchup.
The exposed thermal pad on the 208-RQFP must be soldered to a grounded copper pour of at least 1 square inch to dissipate 1-2W typical operating power. Without proper thermal pad soldering, junction temperature may exceed 125C in industrial environments, triggering thermal shutdown or long-term reliability degradation. Use 8 thermal vias (0.3mm drill) under the pad to inner ground planes for optimal heat spreading.
Configuration pins MSEL0/MSEL1 select the configuration mode - wrong settings cause the device to fail to configure or configure incorrectly from the wrong source. nCONFIG must be held low during power-up and released only after VCCINT and VCCIO are stable. For passive serial configuration, an EPC2 or EPC16 configuration EPROM is required. JTAG chain integrity (TCK pull-up, TMS pull-up, TDI pull-up) is mandatory for in-system programming.
Route clock signals on inner layers with controlled impedance (50 ohm microstrip or stripline) and keep clock traces short to minimize skew. The EP20K200 has dedicated clock input pins with PLL capability - place clock drivers close to these pins. Separate analog/digital grounds if the design mixes analog I/O standards; connect at a single star point near the FPGA ground pin.
