EP20K100CB356C9 - 252-I/O APEX-20K FPGA | Intel | Embedded Logic
Intel EP20K100CB356C9 is a high-performance EPROM-based field-programmable gate array in the APEX-20K family, providing 252 user I/O connections and a 356-ball Ball Grid Array package. The verified data identifies the part as an FPGA with 252 I/O and a 356BGA package, supporting high-density embedded and programmable-logic designs. The device belongs to the APEX-20K architecture, an early programmable-logic family combining FPGA flexibility with structured embedded-system integration capabilities.
An FPGA, or field-programmable gate array, is a semiconductor device whose logic function is configured after manufacturing. FPGAs occupy the programmable-logic branch of the integrated-circuit hierarchy, above fixed-function logic and below or alongside processors in configurable digital systems. Their architecture generally includes configurable logic blocks, programmable interconnects, and configurable I/O resources. The APEX-20K family extends that model toward embedded system-on-programmable-chip applications, where designers can implement interfaces, control logic, datapaths, and other digital functions in one configurable device.
The verified specifications identify 252 user I/O pins and a 356-ball BGA package. A 356-ball package provides a high pin count for programmable I/O, power, configuration, and other device functions, while the BGA format supports dense surface-mount routing and controlled electrical connections. The part is also described as an embedded FPGA, making it relevant to systems that need hardware-level concurrency, deterministic logic, and post-manufacture functional configuration. Verified data does not provide logic-element count, memory capacity, operating voltage, speed grade, temperature range, or configuration details, so those parameters remain unstated rather than inferred from the family name.
The APEX-20K architecture is associated with programmable logic and embedded applications. Engineers should preserve the original configuration flow, pin assignment, I/O electrical settings, clocking scheme, and printed-circuit-board escape strategy when designing a replacement. Although several APEX-20K-family part numbers appear in the site MPN list, the available substitute data does not establish that any candidate is pin-compatible and electrically interchangeable with the target. A replacement therefore requires manufacturer cross-reference verification, datasheet comparison, footprint review, and timing or functional-equivalence testing.
Typical verified or implied use cases include embedded control systems, high-density digital interfaces, industrial electronics, and communications or computing equipment requiring programmable hardware. The 252-I/O capability is particularly useful when many external signals must be connected to configurable logic. Designers should not treat the I/O count as a substitute for required I/O standards, voltage levels, timing margins, or package-ball verification.
For new designs, confirm the complete electrical and mechanical requirements before selecting EP20K100CB356C9. For legacy replacement programs, first verify the exact package, ball map, configuration interface, power requirements, and supported design tools. The verified web results show distributor availability and quote-based purchasing, but they do not provide a complete manufacturer datasheet or all electrical characteristics.
This product data combines verified package, I/O, inventory, and distributor information with explicit markers for unavailable specifications. It also distinguishes observed source facts from engineering considerations, helping procurement, design, and maintenance teams avoid assuming compatibility from a family name or similar product description.
