EP20K200EQC240-2N Ringkasan

The Intel / Altera EP20K200EQC240-2N is a member of the APEX-20KE family of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) that integrates 200,000 gates, 8,320 logic elements (LEs), and 106,496 bits of embedded system block (ESB) memory into a single 240-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP/BQFP) package. It operates from a 1.8 V core supply and supports up to 168 user I/O pins via MultiVolt I/O technology, with propagation delays of approximately 2.5 ns. The device is fabricated on a 0.22 µm CMOS process and is part of the industry's first Programmable Logic Device (PLD) family to deliver true system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration.

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.

Aplikasi Umum

EP20K200EQC240-2N cocok untuk 6 aplikasis: 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.

🏭

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.

🖥️

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.

✈️

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.

🔧

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.

What is the difference between EP20K200EQC240-2N and EP20K200EQC240-1N?
The EP20K200EQC240-2N and EP20K200EQC240-1N share identical silicon die and 240-pin PQFP packaging, differing only in speed grade. The -2N is a mid-speed grade with approximately 2.5 ns propagation delay, while the -1N is the slowest grade with longer internal delays. Both are functionally interchangeable, but the -1N typically costs less and offers no fMAX advantage. Choose -2N when timing closure is tight; -1N is acceptable when design frequency is below 100 MHz.
What is the difference between EP20K200EQC240-2N and EP20K200EQI240-2N?
The EP20K200EQC240-2N is the commercial-temperature variant (0 °C to +85 °C) and the EP20K200EQI240-2N is the industrial-temperature variant (-40 °C to +100 °C). Both share the same 240-pin PQFP package, 200K-gate density, and -2 speed grade. The I-suffix part is qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and outdoor telecom. Choose EQI240 for industrial designs; the EQC240 is sufficient for indoor commercial equipment.
When should I choose EP20K200EQC240-2N over a modern Cyclone IV FPGA?
Choose EP20K200EQC240-2N only when continuing an existing APEX-20KE design where firmware compatibility, layout reuse, or long-proven reliability outweighs the cost and toolchain burden. For new designs, the Intel Cyclone IV EP4CE40 or EP4CE55 in 144-pin or 256-pin packages offers lower unit cost, lower power, free Quartus Prime toolchain support, and active lifecycle status. The EP20K200EQC240-2N remains a valid choice for legacy system refresh and military programs with strict parts-list continuity requirements.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EP20K200EQC240-2N?
The best drop-in replacement for the EP20K200EQC240-2N in the same 240-pin PQFP package is the EP20K200EQC240-2 (without the N suffix) which offers identical pinout and the same speed grade in leaded packaging, or the EP20K200EQC240-1N if a slower speed grade is acceptable. Both alternatives reuse the existing PCB footprint without modification. For identical silicon across all temperature grades, the EP20K200EQC240-2N itself is still available through Rochester Electronics and DigiKey.
Can EP20K200EQC240-1N replace EP20K200EQC240-2N?
Yes, the EP20K200EQC240-1N can directly replace the EP20K200EQC240-2N on the same 240-pin PQFP footprint because both parts share identical silicon, pinout, and MultiVolt I/O. The -1N speed grade is slower (longer propagation delay) but functionally identical. The only caveat is fMAX: designs operating above the -1N grade's maximum frequency must either be re-synthesized for lower clock rates or kept on the -2N grade. For designs below 100 MHz, the substitution is transparent.
Where to download EP20K200EQC240-2N datasheet PDF?
The EP20K200EQC240-2N datasheet PDF is available from the Intel FPGA legacy documentation archive at intel.com under the APEX-20KE device family section, or via distributor-hosted PDFs on Octopart (octopart.com/datasheet/altera/EP20K200EQC240-2N). The document covers pinout, DC characteristics, AC timing, JTAG programming, and Quartus II device support. Register on the Intel FPGA website to download the legacy datasheet and the matching BSDL file for boundary-scan testing.
What is the EP20K200EQC240-2N pinout configuration?
The EP20K200EQC240-2N uses a 240-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP/BQFP) with gull-wing leads on 0.5 mm pitch. Pin assignments include 168 user I/O, dedicated clock input pins, JTAG TDI/TDO/TMS/TCK, configuration mode select pins (MSEL), power (VCCINT 1.8 V, VCCIO 1.8-3.3 V), and ground pins distributed across the package. The exact pin-by-pin map is provided in the Intel APEX-20KE datasheet; engineers should always cross-reference the BSDL file for boundary-scan and PCB design verification.
What is the operating voltage of EP20K200EQC240-2N?
The EP20K200EQC240-2N operates from a 1.8 V core supply (VCCINT) and supports 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V I/O voltages via the MultiVolt I/O standard, with VCCIO banks independently configurable. According to the Altera APEX-20KE datasheet, VCCINT must be regulated within ±5% tolerance and VCCIO within ±5% for each bank. Decoupling requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors near every supply pin plus bulk tantalum or ceramic capacitors on each supply rail.
Is EP20K200EQC240-2N suitable for industrial automation?
The EP20K200EQC240-2N in its commercial-grade variant (0 °C to +85 °C) is suitable for indoor industrial control cabinets, factory-automation backplanes, and telecom line cards where ambient temperature stays within spec. For harsh environments requiring -40 °C to +100 °C operation, the EP20K200EQI240-2N industrial-grade variant should be specified instead. Both parts share the same PQFP-240 footprint and identical silicon; the difference is factory test coverage and reliability qualification per JEDEC standards.
What are the key specifications of EP20K200EQC240-2N that engineers should know?
Five critical specifications define the EP20K200EQC240-2N: (1) 200,000 equivalent gates with 8,320 logic elements and 832 macrocells, (2) 106,496 bits of embedded system block (ESB) memory for distributed RAM or ROM, (3) 168 maximum user I/O pins supporting 1.8/2.5/3.3/5 V standards via MultiVolt I/O, (4) 4 phase-locked loops (PLLs) for clock synthesis, and (5) 240-pin PQFP package with 0.5 mm pitch gull-wing leads. Core voltage is 1.8 V, propagation delay is 2.5 ns, and process technology is 0.22 µm CMOS.

Panduan Pemilihan

Choose EP20K200EQC240-2N when continuing an existing APEX-20KE design that requires RoHS-compliant lead-free finish and operates within commercial temperature (0 °C to +85 °C). Choose EP20K200EQC240-2 if your assembly process requires leaded (SnPb) solder for aerospace, military, or legacy manufacturing lines. Choose EP20K200EQC240-1N if your design operates below 100 MHz and you want to reduce unit cost without changing the footprint. Choose EP20K200EQI240-2N for industrial applications requiring -40 °C to +100 °C operation. For new designs, evaluate the Intel Cyclone IV EP4CE55 or Cyclone 10 LP 10CL055 as modern, active-lifecycle alternatives with lower power, lower cost, and free Quartus Prime support - but note that PCB layout and firmware must be re-engineered. All five Intel parts share the identical 240-pin PQFP footprint.

Diferensiator Kunci

  • Commercial temperature grade with lead-free finish (vsEP20K200EQC240-2)
  • Mid-speed grade for higher fmax (vsEP20K200EQC240-1N)
  • Industrial temperature variant for harsh environments (vsEP20K200EQI240-2N)

Catatan Desain

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.
