EP20K200CQ208C8 Ringkasan

The Altera (now Intel) EP20K200CQ208C8 is a member of the APEX 20KC programmable logic family, providing 200,000 system gates, 8,320 logic elements, and 106,496 bits of embedded RAM in a 208-pin QFP (PQFP-208, 28x28 mm) package. Fabricated on a 0.18 µm (0.15 µm effective) CMOS process, the device operates from a 1.71 V to 1.89 V core supply (1.8 V nominal) and supports a maximum internal clock frequency of approximately 301 MHz. The 'C8' speed grade places the part in the commercial-temperature category, while the 'CQ' package code designates the 208-pin plastic QFP with gull-wing leads.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a type of programmable logic device (PLD) that allows hardware designers to configure logic blocks, routing, and I/O after manufacture. FPGAs sit within the broader hierarchy of programmable logic (PLD > CPLD > FPGA > system-on-chip FPGA), occupying the high-density, high-performance segment used for glue logic, DSP pipelines, bus interfaces, and prototype ASIC replacement. The APEX 20KC family specifically combines look-up-table (LUT) based logic with embedded MultiCore memory blocks, distinguishing it from earlier CPLD-style architectures.

Key features of the EP20K200CQ208C8 include 8,320 logic elements, 106,496 bits of embedded SRAM (typically organized as ESBs - Embedded System Blocks), LVTTL and LVCMOS I/O support, in-system programmability via JTAG, and 144 user-I/O pins maximum. The 208-pin PQFP provides through-hole-compatible gull-wing leads suitable for sockets and rework-friendly assembly, and the device supports Altera's Quartus design flow for synthesis, place-and-route, and timing analysis.

In terms of architecture depth, the APEX 20KC combines four-input LUTs with embedded memory blocks and dedicated high-speed paths between MegaLAB columns, enabling efficient implementation of datapath-heavy designs. The 1.8 V core, while low for its era, demanded multiple supply rails on the board; modern designs have since shifted to 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and sub-1 V FPGAs.

Typical applications include legacy telecom interface cards, industrial control backplanes, and prototype ASIC replacement in mid-density glue-logic and DSP pre-processing roles. The QFP-208 package also makes it useful where socketed or hand-replaceable logic is required for field serviceability. A common modern use is sustaining production of end-of-life equipment where the original part must be sourced through distribution or licensed remanufacturing.

Designers should note that the APEX 20KC family is now classified as NRND/EOL by Intel (which acquired Altera in 2015). Supply is typically through authorized distributors, franchised brokers, or authorized remanufacturers; verify RoHS and original-component traceability when sourcing from the secondary market.
