EP20K100EQC240-3N - 100K-Gate 250 MHz FPGA | Intel | Embedded Logic
Intel EP20K100EQC240-3N is an APEX-20KE field-programmable gate array with 100K gates, 4160 logic cells, 53248 RAM bits, 183 user I/O pins, a 250 MHz operating rating, and a 240-pin PQFP package. It is manufactured using CMOS technology and is designed for high-density programmable logic in embedded systems. The verified source data identifies a 1.8 V supply and a 240-BFQFP package; the part is associated with the APEX-20KE family. Its programmable architecture supports configurable digital logic, interface bridging, control processing, and application-specific datapaths.
An FPGA, or field-programmable gate array, is a semiconductor device containing configurable logic blocks, programmable interconnects, and input/output resources that can be configured after manufacturing. FPGA devices belong to the broader programmable-logic-device hierarchy, which also includes CPLDs and other loadable PLDs. Unlike a fixed-function ASIC, an FPGA can be reprogrammed to implement changing logic functions. The APEX-20KE family combines high logic capacity with embedded memory resources and configurable I/O, making it suitable for systems that require adaptable digital processing without a custom mask set.
The principal device characteristics are 100K gates, 4160 cells, 53248 RAM bits, and 183 user I/O pins. The reported 250 MHz value describes the device's listed FPGA performance. A 1.8 V operating supply supports low-voltage digital designs, while the 240-BFQFP package provides a high-pin-count surface-mount footprint. The combination of logic capacity, embedded RAM, and numerous I/O channels enables integration of control logic, data formatting, protocol adaptation, and interface functions in one programmable device.
EP20K100EQC240-3N is based on programmable-logic architecture rather than a fixed processor instruction set. Configuration data defines logic behavior and interconnect routing, allowing the same hardware platform to support multiple product variants. The 53248 RAM bits provide on-chip storage for state machines, FIFOs, lookup tables, buffering, and timing functions. Because the device is a CMOS FPGA, system designers should follow the manufacturer's configuration, clocking, power-supply, decoupling, and signal-integrity guidance when creating a new design.
Typical applications include industrial automation controllers, communications interface equipment, test and measurement systems, and embedded signal-processing platforms. Its 183 user I/O pins can support numerous parallel or serialized external interfaces, while the embedded RAM can reduce the need for small external memory structures. The 250 MHz rating is relevant to high-speed digital logic and timing-sensitive control functions, although actual system performance depends on routing, configuration, clock topology, and operating conditions.
When selecting this part, confirm that the 240-BFQFP footprint, pinout, configuration method, supply requirements, and timing constraints match the target PCB. The package designation and the separate Digipchip listing for a BGA-652 device are inconsistent, so the 240-BFQFP identification is used here because it appears in the DigiKey, Mouser, FPGAkey, and Microchip USA results. Engineers should verify the exact package drawing and pin numbering before substitution.
This product record combines verified distributor specifications, package information, sourcing status, and design-oriented context to support engineering review. It also identifies where package and availability details require confirmation, helping buyers and FPGA developers avoid substituting a device solely on the basis of family name or nominal logic capacity.
