EP20K60EQC208-2XN Ringkasan

The Intel EP20K60EQC208-2XN is a high-density APEX-20KE series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 60,000 typical gates, 2,560 logic elements, and 32,768 bits of embedded RAM, housed in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP/BFQFP) surface-mount package. The device is fabricated on a 0.22 µm CMOS process and operates from a 1.8 V core supply (1.71 V to 1.89 V). According to the manufacturer datasheet, the part provides 148 user I/Os and supports internal clock frequencies up to 200 MHz (with a propagation delay of approximately 1.72 ns per logic element).

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a type of programmable logic device (PLD) that combines thousands of configurable logic blocks, programmable interconnect, and on-chip memory into a single semiconductor. Within the broader taxonomy, an FPGA sits above simple CPLDs in density and below ASICs in non-recurring engineering cost. The APEX-20KE family introduced MultiCore architecture, merging LUT-based logic (efficient for data-paths, register-intensive math, and DSP) with product-term logic (efficient for control/state machines) on the same die, plus dedicated embedded system blocks (ESBs) for memory. This makes the APEX-20KE a hybrid logic-and-memory platform rather than a pure LUT device.

Key differentiating features include 2560 logic elements, 32 Kbits of distributed RAM, in-system programmability via JTAG, MultiVolt I/O support for interfacing to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V buses, and a built-in PLL for clock management. The '-2' speed grade and 'N' suffix denote the commercial temperature range (0 °C to 85 °C) and lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging per the FindIC summary.

The EP20K60EQC208-2XN is typically used in telecommunications line cards, industrial control backplanes, and legacy PCI bridge designs where high logic density and large embedded RAM are required. Designers migrating to newer Cyclone or MAX families should treat this part as a long-term-support / last-time-buy candidate rather than a greenfield choice.

When designing with this device, provide at least four 0.1 µF decoupling capacitors around the package perimeter, keep the PLL power island isolated, and program the configuration bitstream via the ByteBlaster or Master/Slave serial modes documented in the APEX-20KE datasheet. The 208-PQFP is a perimeter-lead package, so PCB escape routing is straightforward but limits pin density versus a BGA.

🌐

Telecommunications Line-Card Glue Logic

The EP20K60EQC208-2XN is well-suited to telecom line-card glue logic where 2,560 logic elements and 32 Kbit of embedded RAM provide enough density for protocol adaptation, framing, and per-channel state machines. Its 148 user I/Os comfortably drive multi-standard backplane buses (H.110, MVIP, or proprietary TDM) at the part's 200 MHz internal frequency. Compared with a discrete CPLD bank, the MultiCore LUT+product-term architecture of the APEX-20KE halves the device count and reduces PCB area, while MultiVolt I/O banks interface directly to 3.3 V and 5 V bus drivers without level shifters.

️

Legacy PCI Bridge / Bus Interface

The EP20K60EQC208-2XN is frequently deployed in legacy PCI 32-bit/33 MHz bridge designs where its 148 I/Os match the bus plus local-processor interface, and its 32 Kbit ESB RAM implements FIFOs and address-mapping tables. The 200 MHz internal frequency supports 33 MHz PCI with comfortable setup/hold margin. Per the manufacturer datasheet, the 5 V-tolerant I/O banks tolerate legacy PCI signalling directly, while the 1.8 V core keeps power dissipation moderate on a -2 speed grade. This makes the part a popular drop-in when modernizing legacy add-in cards without a full PCB redesign.

🏭

Industrial Control Backplane Controller

The EP20K60EQC208-2XN serves as a backplane controller in industrial automation, where it bridges Fieldbus (Profibus, CAN, or Modbus) segments to a central PLC. Its MultiCore architecture combines product-term logic (ideal for deterministic state machines) with LUT-based DSP blocks for signal conditioning math, all on one die. The commercial 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature range and 148 I/Os allow direct connection to backplane drivers without external bus switches. Last-time-buy status as of 2026-09-08 means designers must stockpile or qualify the EP20K60EQC208-2N finish variant as a long-term fallback.

DSP Front-End / Data Acquisition

The EP20K60EQC208-2XN is well-matched to DSP front-end designs such as sonar, instrumentation, and digital-beamforming, where its 32 Kbit ESB RAM buffers samples while LUT-based DSP blocks implement FIR/IIR filters. The 1.72 ns propagation delay per LE supports sustained 200 MHz datapaths at the part's maximum internal clock, and the MultiVolt I/O banks directly interface to 1.8 V modern ADCs without glue logic. Compared to a hard DSP, the APEX-20KE offers reprogrammable filter coefficients in-system, which simplifies prototyping and field upgrades of signal-processing chains.

Test & Measurement Instrument Backplane

The EP20K60EQC208-2XN is used in test-and-measurement equipment as a backplane controller that aggregates data from multiple ADC/DAC channels and routes it to a host processor. With 148 I/Os and 32 Kbit of embedded RAM, the part implements small FIFO buffers per channel and protocol translation to USB or Ethernet. The Quartus II 13.0 toolchain support means existing test labs can continue programming without retraining. Last-time-buy status as of 2026-09-08 prompts long-term-stock acquisition strategies, especially for ATE platforms with multi-decade service contracts.

Aerospace / Defense Retrofit (with qualification)

The EP20K60EQC208-2XN is occasionally used in defense retrofits and military communication systems where existing designs rely on its 1.8 V core, 148 I/Os, and MultiCore LUT+product-term architecture. Although the standard part is commercial-grade (0 °C to 85 °C), the same silicon underpins MIL-PRF-38535 flow variants sold through authorized defense distributors. The 208-PQFP perimeter-lead package also simplifies lead-form rework on legacy avionics cards. Because the family is on last-time-buy as of 2026-09-08, programs should establish a long-term-storage contract for sustaining engineering over the platform's deployment lifetime.

What is the EP20K60EQC208-2XN?
The EP20K60EQC208-2XN is an Intel (formerly Altera) APEX-20KE series Field Programmable Gate Array with 2,560 logic elements, 60,000 typical gates, and 32 Kbit of embedded RAM in a 208-pin PQFP. Per the manufacturer datasheet, it is fabricated on a 0.22 µm CMOS process and targets high-density glue-logic and data-path designs in commercial temperature applications.
How many user I/O pins does the EP20K60EQC208-2XN provide?
The EP20K60EQC208-2XN provides 148 user I/O pins from its 208-pin PQFP package. The remaining pins are dedicated to power, ground, JTAG, configuration, and clock-management signals. According to the APEX-20KE datasheet, MultiVolt I/O banks allow direct interface to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V buses without external level shifters.
What is the operating supply voltage of the EP20K60EQC208-2XN?
The EP20K60EQC208-2XN core operates from a 1.71 V to 1.89 V supply (1.8 V nominal), as listed in the MicrochipUSA product summary. The I/O banks accept VCCIO between 1.8 V and 3.3 V (LVTTL/LVCMOS), while maintaining 5 V tolerance on selected banks per the APEX-20KE datasheet. PLL analog supply should be filtered with a ferrite bead and a 10 µF + 0.1 µF decoupling pair.
Is the EP20K60EQC208-2XN still in production?
The EP20K60EQC208-2XN is classified as last-time-buy by Intel because the APEX-20KE family has been superseded by Cyclone and MAX families. Distributors including DigiKey and TrustedParts continue to ship remaining inventory, but new fab lots are no longer scheduled. Designers building new platforms should migrate to a Cyclone III/IV/10 equivalent, while existing designs must qualify a long-term storage source.
Where can I download the EP20K60EQC208-2XN datasheet?
The original Altera APEX-20KE datasheet is hosted at https://www.altera.com/literature/ds/apex.pdf and mirrors exist at https://pdf.datasheet.company/262863e3/altera.com/EP20K60EQC208-2XN.pdf.

What is the difference between EP20K60EQC208-2XN and EP20K60EQC208-2N?
According to the FindIC parametric comparison, both parts share the same 208-PQFP package, 60 K-gate APEX-20KE silicon, and -2 speed grade. The trailing 'X' in EP20K60EQC208-2XN indicates Pb-free / RoHS-compliant lead finish (per common Altera naming conventions), while EP20K60EQC208-2N may ship in a SnPb finish depending on the lot. The devices are pin-to-pin compatible and electrically identical at the logic level.
What is the difference between EP20K60EQC208-2XN and EP20K60EQC208-3N?
The EP20K60EQC208-2XN is a -2 speed grade device while the EP20K60EQC208-3N is a -3 speed grade, both in the same 208-PQFP and APEX-20KE family. The -3 grade is faster (lower propagation delay) per Altera's speed-grade convention, while the -2 grade is the mainstream speed/power point used in most commercial designs. They are pin-to-pin compatible and may be swapped if the -3 grade is available at acceptable cost.
Can EP20K60EFC324-2X replace EP20K60EQC208-2XN on the same PCB?
No, the EP20K60EFC324-2X is housed in a 324-pin FineLine BGA (F324) package, while the EP20K60EQC208-2XN uses a 208-pin PQFP. They share the same silicon family but have completely different PCB land patterns, so the EP20K60EFC324-2X cannot serve as a drop-in replacement; instead it requires a full PCB re-spin. For footprint-compatible replacements, stay within the 208-pin PQFP variants such as -2N, -2X, or -3N.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EP20K60EQC208-2XN?
The best drop-in replacements are other Altera/Intel APEX-20KE EP20K60EQC208 speed/packaging variants: EP20K60EQC208-2X (same die, no N suffix marking), EP20K60EQC208-2N (SnPb finish variant), and EP20K60EQC208-2 (base speed grade). All three share the 208-pin PQFP footprint and are pin-to-pin compatible per the FindIC parametric database. Cross-brand drop-in parts do not exist for this legacy Altera silicon.
Where can I buy EP20K60EQC208-2XN at the best price?
EP20K60EQC208-2XN is available from authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, TrustedParts, and Octopart-aggregated stockists, with reference pricing starting near USD 48.75 at qty-1 as of 2026-09-08. Octopart lists 23 distributors for real-time comparison. Because the part is on last-time-buy, lead time can extend to several weeks; request a quote if stock is not visible online.
What is the lead time for EP20K60EQC208-2XN?
Lead time for EP20K60EQC208-2XN ranges from immediate ship-from-stock (DigiKey, Mouser) to 8-12 weeks at last-time-buy distributors as of 2026-09-08, because Intel has stopped scheduling new fab lots. For volume orders beyond distributor stock, contact Intel's last-time-buy program or consider authorized aftermarket brokers that specialize in legacy Altera silicon. Always request a CofC (Certificate of Conformance) to mitigate counterfeit risk.
Is EP20K60EQC208-2XN suitable for new industrial designs?
The EP20K60EQC208-2XN is generally not recommended for new industrial designs because it is on last-time-buy status and lacks long-term supply guarantees as of 2026-09-08. For new industrial platforms, migrate to a Cyclone IV E or Cyclone 10 LP equivalent in a similar logic-density tier; these provide pin-compatible Quartus toolchain support and a documented product longevity program. Use the EP20K60 only when maintaining an existing installed base.
What software tools program the EP20K60EQC208-2XN?
The EP20K60EQC208-2XN is programmed using Altera Quartus II (legacy versions up to 13.0sp1 also support APEX-20KE) with the Altera ByteBlaster MV or USB-Blaster download cable. Configuration bitstreams are generated in .pof or .sof formats, then loaded via JTAG, Passive Serial, or Passive Parallel modes as documented in the APEX-20KE handbook. Modern Quartus Prime releases no longer support this legacy family, so retain a Quartus II 13.0 license for ongoing programming.
How much embedded memory does the EP20K60EQC208-2XN have?
The EP20K60EQC208-2XN integrates 32,768 bits (32 Kbit) of embedded RAM distributed across the Embedded System Blocks (ESBs) of the MultiCore architecture, per the manufacturer datasheet summary on MicrochipUSA. The ESBs can be configured as single-port RAM, dual-port RAM, ROM, or FIFO without consuming logic-element resources, making the device efficient for buffering, lookup tables, and small DSP coefficient storage.
What is the EP20K60EQC208-2XN pinout for the 208-PQFP?
The 208-pin PQFP pinout for the EP20K60EQC208-2XN is published in the APEX-20KE datasheet mechanical drawing section; the package is a perimeter-lead PQFP with pin 1 indicated by a dot on the top surface. Pin assignments cover 148 user I/O, dedicated JTAG (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO), configuration mode pins (MSEL0-2), clock inputs (CLK0-3), PLL filter pins, and multiple VCCINT / VCCIO / GND pairs. Always cross-reference the official Altera pinout file before PCB layout.

Panduan Pemilihan

Choose the EP20K60EQC208-2XN when you need a 60 K-gate APEX-20KE FPGA in the 208-PQFP package with a -2 speed grade and Pb-free finish, and your design runs at commercial temperature. Choose EP20K60EQC208-2X if finish marking variants are acceptable - it is identical silicon. Choose EP20K60EQC208-2N for SnPb assembly lines or for non-RoHS programs. Choose EP20K60EQC208-1X / -1 when the design can tolerate a -1 speed grade (slightly slower fMAX) and you want broader stock availability. Do NOT choose the EFC324 or EFC144 BGA variants as drop-in replacements - they require different PCB land patterns. For new designs, prefer a Cyclone IV E or Cyclone 10 LP equivalent with active longevity support.

Diferensiator Kunci

  • MultiCore architecture combines LUT and product-term logic on one die (vsPure LUT FPGAs (Xilinx XC4000 series from the same era))
  • 32 Kbit embedded system blocks (ESBs) configurable as RAM/ROM/FIFO without LE cost (vsLegacy Xilinx XC4000E distributed RAM)
  • Per-package finish variants (-1, -2, -3 speed grades and -N, -X finish codes) enable drop-in PCB reuse (vsSingle-finish competitors)

Catatan Desain

The 1.8 V core supply (VCCINT) and the four VCCIO bank supplies must be decoupled with at least four 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors placed within 5 mm of the package perimeter, plus one 10 µF tantalum or polymer bulk capacitor per supply rail. Estimated: at 200 MHz toggling with 60% utilization, ICCINT is in the 200-400 mA range per Altera's APEX-20KE power estimator; budgeting a 1 A regulator for VCCINT and 0.5 A per VCCIO bank provides safe margin.

The 208-pin PQFP uses 0.5 mm pitch gull-wing leads; route signals on inner layers with 0.2 mm trace width and 0.2 mm clearance to escape the perimeter. Provide a continuous ground plane on layer 2 directly under the package to control return paths and to limit SSO noise. Estimated: with 148 I/Os switching at 100 MHz simultaneously, the device can source/sink up to ~24 mA per bank transient - keep high-current outputs isolated from clock inputs to minimise jitter.

Do not program an APEX-20KE bitstream generated for a -1 speed grade into a -2 speed-grade silicon expecting faster timing - the fitter constraints differ and you may see setup violations. Always rebuild the bitstream in Quartus II with the correct device selection. Likewise, the trailing 'N' suffix denotes Pb-free finish, not a different speed grade -2N is identical to -2 except for lead plating.
