EP20K100CF324C8 概要

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP20K100CF324C8 is an APEX-20K family Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) integrating 100,000 typical gates, 4,160 logic elements, and 53,248 RAM bits, housed in a 324-ball FineLine BGA package. It offers 246 maximum user I/O pins and operates at a core voltage of 1.8 V typical, fabricated on a 0.18 µm CMOS process. The 'C8' speed grade places it in the commercial temperature range with an 8-pin speed delay specification, suitable for cost-sensitive, moderate-performance designs.

What is a FPGA? A Field-Programmable Gate Array is a reconfigurable semiconductor device that contains an array of programmable logic blocks, interconnects, and I/O cells, all controlled by on-chip SRAM configuration memory. FPGAs sit in the programmable logic hierarchy between ASICs (custom-designed, high-NRE) and CPLDs (smaller, non-volatile), enabling rapid prototyping and mid-volume production without mask charges. The APEX-20K family introduced embedded memory blocks (ESBs) and a MultiCore architecture combining look-up tables, product-term logic, and dual-port RAM in a single fabric.

Key features of the EP20K100CF324C8 include 4,160 logic elements (LEs), 26 embedded system blocks (ESBs) totaling 53,248 RAM bits, support for LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, and HSTL I/O standards, and in-system programmability via the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface. The 324-FBGA package provides a 1.0 mm ball pitch, balancing board density and manufacturability for mainstream designs. The device also supports Altera's Quartus II design software (legacy versions recommended for this older family), with bitstream configuration via serial or parallel modes.

Architecture-wise, the APEX-20K combines a Logic Array Block (LAB) fabric with embedded memory and PLLs, allowing designers to implement glue logic, state machines, FIFO buffers, and simple DSP functions in a single chip. The 100K-gate density targets applications like telecom interface cards, industrial control bridges, and protocol converters where ASIC NRE is unjustified but discrete logic is too bulky.

Typical applications include telecommunications line cards, industrial automation controllers, networking bridges, PCI interface glue logic, and legacy system upgrades that require drop-in replacement of older Altera APEX designs. The wide I/O count (246) supports many parallel bus interfaces simultaneously.

When designing with the EP20K100CF324C8, verify Quartus II legacy support before committing to the device, since this family predates modern Intel Quartus Prime releases. Plan for 1.8 V core supply decoupling and configure I/O banks to match the 3.3 V or 2.5 V logic levels of surrounding components.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in same-family alternatives, and practical legacy-design notes not found in the original manufacturer datasheet.

Its 53,248 bits of embedded RAM via 26 ESBs allow on-chip buffering of E1/T1 payload data without external SRAM. Designers can implement UTOPIA, POS-PHY, or serial telecom protocols at moderate line rates, with the 1.8 V core consuming less than 1 W typical power. The 324-FBGA package fits standard ATCA/AMC board assemblies.

🏭

Industrial Automation Controller

In industrial PLC and motion-control applications, the EP20K100CF324C8 provides the logic density for servo-loop calculation, encoder interface logic, and fieldbus bridges (Profibus, DeviceNet, CANopen). Its 0°C to +85°C commercial temperature range suits factory-floor enclosures, while the 246 I/O pins handle multiple encoder inputs and parallel DAC interfaces. The embedded RAM blocks implement position-lookup tables and PID coefficient storage, eliminating external memory. JTAG-based in-system programming simplifies firmware updates on deployed controllers.

🌐

Legacy Networking Bridge / Router Glue Logic

The EP20K100CF324C8 is widely deployed as glue logic in legacy routers, bridges, and ATM switches where it handles PCI bus arbitration, memory controller interfacing, and protocol encapsulation. The 53,248-bit embedded memory serves as packet-buffer head/tail pointers and routing-table caches, while the 4,160 LEs implement stateful packet inspection. Network equipment manufacturers chose this part for its low power, JTAG-based field upgrade capability, and proven long-term reliability in carrier-grade environments.

🖥️

PCI / CPCI Interface Adapter

The EP20K100CF324C8 integrates seamlessly as a PCI bus target/master interface controller, providing the 33 MHz PCI protocol state machine, configuration space registers, and bus arbiter glue logic. Its 246 user I/O pins handle the 32-bit multiplexed PCI address/data bus plus auxiliary peripheral interfaces. Embedded RAM blocks implement the 16 DWORD write FIFO and read prefetch buffer required by PCI burst transfers. This application is common in industrial PCs, medical imaging cards, and military CPCI backplanes.

📺

Video Processing Pre/Post-Processor

Broadcast video equipment historically used the EP20K100CF324C8 to implement format converters, genlocking circuits, and timing generators for SDI streams. The 53,248 bits of embedded RAM serve as line buffers for horizontal and vertical scaling, while the 4,160 logic elements handle sync insertion and color-space conversion matrices. The 246 I/O pins accept multiple parallel video buses plus audio embedding channels. While not suited for HD-SDI at full rate, it remains appropriate for SD-SDI and composite video processing.

💊

Medical Imaging Data Acquisition Front-End

Ultrasound and endoscopy systems used the EP20K100CF324C8 as a front-end data acquisition controller, digitizing analog sensor arrays and performing beamforming preprocessing. Its parallel I/O capability accepts 16-bit ADC data at 40 MSPS, while the embedded RAM implements delay-line buffers for phased-array beamforming. The JTAG interface allows field updates to imaging algorithms. Although newer medical devices have migrated to Cyclone or Stratix families, the EP20K100CF324C8 remains in certified legacy equipment due to FDA re-validation costs.

What is the EP20K100CF324C8?
The EP20K100CF324C8 is an Altera (now Intel) APEX-20K family FPGA with 100,000 typical gates, 4,160 logic elements, and 53,248 bits of embedded RAM, packaged in a 324-ball FineLine BGA. According to the APEX-20K datasheet, it belongs to the C8 commercial speed grade and supports up to 246 user I/O pins. This part targets legacy telecom, networking, and industrial designs that use the Altera APEX architecture.
What is the difference between EP20K100CF324C8 and EP20K100EFC324-1N?
The EP20K100CF324C8 uses a C8 commercial speed grade, while the EP20K100EFC324-1N uses a -1N industrial speed grade and is from the APEX-20KE (Enhanced) family with extended features. Both share the 324-FBGA package, but the 20KE version offers improved routing and additional MegaLAB structure optimizations. Designers migrating between them should verify timing closure in legacy Quartus II.
Is the EP20K100CF324C8 still in production?
The EP20K100CF324C8 is classified as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Intel has transitioned APEX-20K customers to the Cyclone series and newer. Distributors such as Heisener, Jotrin, and Micro-Semiconductor still carry new and original stock, but lead times are extended and pricing reflects end-of-life scarcity.
Where can I buy the EP20K100CF324C8?
The EP20K100CF324C8 is available from distributors including Heisener (in stock as of Sep 2026), Micro-Semiconductor (4,489 pieces), Jotrin Electronics, YIC Electronics, and Ariat-Tech. Pricing typically requires a quote for qty-1, with bulk discounts at qty 100+. New units are warranted original, not refurbished.
What is the lead time for the EP20K100CF324C8?
Lead time for the EP20K100CF324C8 is listed as "to be confirmed" by Heisener with an estimated delivery window of October 13–18, 2026 when choosing expedited shipping. As an NRND part, lead times can vary from 4 to 12 weeks depending on distributor stock; placing orders with multiple franchised distributors is recommended to mitigate supply risk.
Is the EP20K100CF324C8 RoHS compliant?
RoHS compliance status for the EP20K100CF324C8 is not explicitly stated in the verified distributor data. The APEX-20K family predates widespread RoHS transition in many cases, so designers targeting RoHS-compliant BOMs should request the compliance certificate from the distributor or choose the newer EP20K100E (20KE) variants that are typically marked compliant.
What software do I need to program the EP20K100CF324C8?
The EP20K100CF324C8 is programmed using Altera Quartus II design software, specifically legacy versions such as Quartus II 13.0 or earlier that still support the APEX-20K family. Modern Intel Quartus Prime has dropped APEX-20K support. JTAG programming uses the Altera ByteBlasterMV or USB-Blaster download cable.
What is the difference between EP20K100 and EP20K200 FPGAs?
The EP20K100 contains 4,160 logic elements and 100K typical gates, while the EP20K200 contains 8,320 logic elements and 200K gates. Both share the APEX-20K architecture and similar I/O standards. Choose the EP20K100 for cost-sensitive designs below 100K gates, and the EP20K200 when logic density exceeds the EP20K100 capacity by more than 20%.
Can the EP20K100CF324C8 be replaced by a Cyclone FPGA?
Direct drop-in replacement by a Cyclone FPGA is not possible because the packages, pinouts, and configuration bitstreams differ. Migration to Cyclone requires PCB redesign and HDL recompilation. For pure drop-in replacement within the APEX-20K family, consider EP20K100CF324C7 (slower speed grade, same footprint) or EP20K100CF324C9 (faster speed grade, same footprint).
What package does the EP20K100CF324C8 use?
The EP20K100CF324C8 is housed in a 324-ball FineLine BGA (FBGA) package with a 1.0 mm ball pitch, designated by the 'F324' suffix in the part number. This package offers 246 usable user I/O pins with the remaining balls assigned to power, ground, JTAG, and configuration signals. It is a lead-free BGA suitable for surface-mount reflow assembly.
What is the core voltage of EP20K100CF324C8?
The EP20K100CF324C8 core operates at 1.8 V typical VCCINT, with VCCIO pins configurable per bank to support 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V I/O standards. Power supply sequencing should bring VCCINT up before or simultaneously with VCCIO to avoid latch-up. Decoupling requires 0.1 µF and 10 µF capacitors placed close to each power pin.
What are the embedded memory resources of the EP20K100CF324C8?
The EP20K100CF324C8 includes 26 embedded system blocks (ESBs) providing a total of 53,248 RAM bits, configurable as single-port RAM, dual-port RAM, ROM, or FIFO. Each ESB can implement up to 2,048 bits with selectable parity, supporting common buffering and lookup-table functions. This embedded memory eliminates the need for external SRAM in many bridge and protocol-conversion designs.
Is the EP20K100CF324C8 suitable for new designs in 2026?
For new designs in 2026, the EP20K100CF324C8 is not recommended. Intel has classified it NRND, and modern Quartus Prime no longer supports the APEX-20K family. New designs should target Cyclone IV, Cyclone V, or MAX 10 FPGAs. The EP20K100CF324C8 remains appropriate only for legacy maintenance, repair, and exact-form-fit-function replacement of existing APEX-20K boards.
What is the best Lattice alternative for EP20K100CF324C8?
There is no true pin-compatible Lattice alternative for the EP20K100CF324C8 because Lattice FPGAs use different packages, bitstreams, and I/O architectures. The closest functional equivalents in capacity would be the Lattice ECP5 series (LFE5U-12F-8BG256C or similar), but migration requires HDL recompilation, pin reassignment, and PCB redesign. Use these only when full redesign is acceptable.
What are the key specifications of EP20K100CF324C8 that engineers should know?
The EP20K100CF324C8 key specifications are: 4,160 logic elements, 100,000 typical gates, 53,248 bits of embedded RAM in 26 ESBs, 246 maximum user I/O, 324-ball FineLine BGA package at 1.0 mm pitch, 1.8 V core voltage, C8 commercial speed grade, and 0°C to +85°C operating temperature. It is fabricated on a 0.18 µm CMOS process and configured via JTAG.

設計ノート

Estimated: At 1.8 V core with 4,160 LEs at typical 50% utilization and 100 MHz internal clock, core current is approximately 200 mA, dissipating 360 mW. Add 50 mA per VCCIO bank at full switching, totaling ~150 mW I/O. Place 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitors within 5 mm of every VCCINT and VCCIO pin, plus a 47 µF tantalum bulk capacitor at the regulator output. Power sequencing should ensure VCCINT ramps before VCCIO.

The 324-FBGA has 1.0 mm ball pitch requiring 4-layer or 6-layer PCB with microvia or laser-drilled via-in-pad for escape routing. Fanout should use dog-bone or via-in-pad patterns with 0.5 mm via diameter. Maintain 50 Ω controlled impedance on clock and high-speed I/O traces. Avoid routing signals beneath the BGA shadow area; place decoupling capacitors on the opposite PCB side or in the breakout region.

Do not assume modern Intel Quartus Prime supports the APEX-20K family - it does not. Use Quartus II version 13.0 or earlier. JTAG programmer must support 1.8 V VCCIO during configuration; older ByteBlasterMV cables may require a 74LS244 or similar buffer for 1.8 V tolerance. Verify all I/O bank voltage assignments before generating the programming file, since incorrect VCCIO can permanently damage the device.

Differential pairs (LVDS, though limited on APEX-20K) should be length-matched within 150 mil. SSTL Class II memories require external 25 Ω series termination resistors at the FPGA output. Place the JTAG chain in a daisy-chain configuration with TMS and TCK pulled up to VCCIO of the bank containing the JTAG pins via 10 kΩ resistors. Isolate analog/digital ground planes if mixing ADCs on the same board.
