EP20K400CF672C9N 개요

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP20K400CF672C9N is a member of the APEX 20KC family of programmable logic devices, delivering 400,000 system gates with 16,640 logic elements (LEs) and a maximum operating frequency of 250 MHz, fabricated on a 0.18-micron all-layer copper-metal process. Housed in a 672-ball Fine-pitch Chip-Scale BGA (FC-FBGA) package, the device combines look-up table (LUT) logic with embedded system blocks (ESBs) for on-chip memory in a MultiCore architecture that targets system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration.

What is an FPGA? A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor IC containing an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnects, and dedicated hardware resources such as block RAM, DSP slices, and high-speed transceivers. FPGAs sit at the top of the programmable logic hierarchy: ASIC -> programmable SoC -> FPGA -> CPLD -> PLD. APEX 20KC devices in particular introduced copper interconnect to Altera's high-density PLD roadmap, providing 25-35% higher performance than the APEX 20KE family while remaining pin-compatible.

Key features include 16,640 logic elements, 212,992 bits of embedded memory distributed across embedded system blocks, 502 user I/O pins, and propagation delay of approximately 2.5 ns per logic element. The MultiCore architecture integrates LUT-based logic and dual-port RAM blocks within the same fabric, allowing designers to implement complex state machines, FIFOs, and datapath functions without external memory.

The APEX 20KC family is built on a 0.18-micron six-layer copper-metal CMOS process. The 1.8V core supply reduces power consumption compared with the 2.5V APEX 20KE family while supporting LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, and HSTL I/O standards through configurable I/O banks. The Fine-pitch Chip-Scale BGA package maximizes logic-to-pin density for high-I/O designs.

Typical applications include telecommunications infrastructure, high-speed data buffering, glue logic replacement, protocol bridging, and digital signal processing front-ends. The combination of high logic density and substantial embedded memory makes the EP20K400CF672C9N well suited to data-path aggregation and packet-processing pipelines.

When designing with this device, plan power sequencing carefully. The 1.8V core requires a low-noise LDO such as a TPS7A4701; the I/O banks need separate 3.3V or 2.5V rails depending on the chosen I/O standard. Decoupling capacitors must be placed as close as possible to each power pin on the BGA.

일반적인 애플리케이션

EP20K400CF672C9N 적합 용도: 6 애플리케이션s: Telecommunications Infrastructure, High-Speed Data Buffering and FIFO Aggregation, Glue Logic Replacement and Board Integration, Industrial Control and Factory Automation, Legacy Compute System / PCI Bridge Logic, Test and Measurement Equipment Front-End.

🌐

Telecommunications Infrastructure

The EP20K400CF672C9N's 16,640 logic elements and 502 user I/Os make it well suited to telecom backplane bridging, where wide parallel buses, ATM/SONET framers, and TDM switching fabrics need high gate counts and abundant I/O. Its 1.8V core and 250 MHz fabric deliver enough throughput for OC-48 framing glue logic, while the FC-FBGA 672-ball footprint supports the many LVDS pairs typically required for backplane serial links. Designers place the part on a multi-layer PCB with split power planes and per-bank VCCIO for 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V I/O standards.

🖥️

High-Speed Data Buffering and FIFO Aggregation

With 212,992 bits of embedded memory distributed across ESBs (Embedded System Blocks), the EP20K400CF672C9N can implement large multi-channel FIFOs and packet buffers without external SRAM. The MultiCore architecture combines LUT logic with dual-port RAM in the same fabric, so designers can build 36-bit-wide FIFOs and store-and-forward datapaths in a single device. The 250 MHz fabric clock and 2.5 ns propagation delay support line-rate aggregation of multiple parallel data streams in networking line cards.

🔧

Glue Logic Replacement and Board Integration

The EP20K400CF672C9N replaces multiple discrete PAL/GAL and 74-series glue-logic devices on legacy backplanes, integrating address decoding, bus arbitration, wait-state generation, and interrupt steering in a single programmable IC. Its 502 user I/Os accommodate many parallel interfaces simultaneously, and its 1.8V core reduces board power. The 672-ball FC-FBGA package suits high-density backplanes where board real-estate is constrained.

🏭

Industrial Control and Factory Automation

Industrial controllers benefit from the EP20K400CF672C9N's large gate count and many I/Os to integrate multi-axis motion control, encoder decoding, and high-speed machine-vision preprocessing. The commercial 0-85 °C operating range suits factory-floor enclosures with controlled climate, and the abundant I/O allows direct connection to quadrature encoders, stepper/direction drivers, and parallel ADC/DAC buses without external buffers.

💡

Legacy Compute System / PCI Bridge Logic

Before modern soft-IP cores, the APEX 20KC family was commonly deployed as a PCI-to-local-bus bridge and DMA controller in single-board computers and embedded x86 designs. The EP20K400CF672C9N's 502 I/Os accommodate 32-bit PCI plus local bus plus auxiliary peripherals in one device. The 1.8V core, 250 MHz fabric, and 2.5 ns internal delay allow zero-wait-state bridges up to 66 MHz PCI.

🧩

Test and Measurement Equipment Front-End

Test-equipment manufacturers used the EP20K400CF672C9N as a digital pattern generator, timing engine, or waveform pre-processor in bench-top instruments. Its 16,640 logic elements and high I/O count allow hundreds of digital channels with per-channel timing control, while embedded memory supports deep capture buffers. The 672-ball FC-FBGA package routes cleanly to fine-pitch test connectors and high-density mixed-signal daughtercards.

What is the difference between the EP20K400CF672C9N and the EP20K400EFC672-1N?
The EP20K400CF672C9N is a commercial-grade (0 °C to 85 °C) APEX 20KC device, while the EP20K400EFC672-1N belongs to the lower-power APEX 20KE family. The 20KC version delivers 25-35% higher performance using a 0.18 µm copper process at a 1.8V core, whereas the 20KE part uses a 2.5V core on a 0.22 µm process. Both share the 672-ball FC-FBGA pinout but are NOT pin-compatible in software bitstream terms.
Is the EP20K400CF672C9N still in production?
No. The EP20K400CF672C9N has been discontinued by Intel/Altera and the entire APEX 20KC family is classified as obsolete. Remaining inventory is available only through authorized distributors and the secondary market. New designs should target Cyclone IV/V or MAX 10 families.
What is the operating voltage of the EP20K400CF672C9N?
The EP20K400CF672C9N operates with a 1.8V core supply. Its I/O banks are independently configurable and support LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, and HSTL standards at common voltages such as 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V, depending on bank configuration. Per the datasheet, separate VCCINT and VCCIO rails must be supplied.
Where can I download the EP20K400CF672C9N datasheet?
The official APEX 20KC datasheet (covering the EP20K400CF672C9N) is hosted on Intel's Altera document portal at intel.com under the legacy APEX literature section. Search 'APEX 20KC datasheet' to find the PDF with pinout, timing, electrical characteristics, and configuration specifications.
Where to buy the EP20K400CF672C9N online?
The EP20K400CF672C9N can be purchased from secondary-market distributors such as Amphero, Jotrin, FPGAkey, Vyrian, and Microchip USA, all of which list the part in stock as of 2026-09-08. Prices typically start near USD 285 for qty-1 and drop to USD 175 at qty-1000; lead times vary from 2 to 8 weeks depending on supplier.
What is the lead time for the EP20K400CF672C9N?
Lead times for the obsolete EP20K400CF672C9N vary widely with stock. Authorized distributors quote 2-4 weeks when in-stock, while secondary-market brokers may require 6-12 weeks to source from franchised partners. As of 2026-09-08, multiple online listings show ready-to-ship inventory at unit prices starting around USD 285.

Pricing reflects the obsolete status of the APEX 20KC family; no volume OEM pricing is available because the part is no longer manufactured.
EP20K400CF672C9N vs Cyclone IV EP4CE115 - which is better for new designs?
For new designs the Cyclone IV EP4CE115F29 is generally better than the obsolete EP20K400CF672C9N because it offers a higher logic count, lower power, modern Quartus Prime support, and an active lifecycle. The APEX 20KC part is recommended only as a drop-in for legacy board repair or as a same-footprint alternative for existing production runs.
When should I choose the EP20K400CF672C9N over a modern Cyclone V?
The EP20K400CF672C9N should be chosen only when an existing PCB was designed for the 672-ball FC-FBGA APEX 20KC footprint and a legacy replacement is required. The Cyclone V is more capable but uses a different BGA pinout, requiring PCB rework. For new designs, the Cyclone V is the superior choice.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the EP20K400CF672C9N?
The best same-footprint drop-in replacement is the EP20K400CF672C9 (without the 'N' suffix), which is the lead-free variant of the same 672-ball FC-FBGA APEX 20KC die. For new layouts requiring a modern equivalent, the EP4CE115F29 Cyclone IV device is recommended but requires PCB redesign because its BGA pinout differs.
Can the EP20K400CF672C8N replace the EP20K400CF672C9N?
Yes, the EP20K400CF672C8N is a functionally compatible drop-in replacement for the EP20K400CF672C9N on the same 672-ball FC-FBGA footprint. The 'C8' suffix denotes a -8 speed grade (slightly slower internal timing) compared to the -9 grade of the C9N part, but the bitstream-level design entry is identical and all I/O pin assignments are preserved.
What are the key specifications of the EP20K400CF672C9N that engineers should know?
The EP20K400CF672C9N delivers 16,640 logic elements, 400,000 system gates, 212,992 embedded-memory bits, 502 user I/Os, 250 MHz maximum frequency, and 2.5 ns propagation delay from a 1.8V core in a 672-ball FC-FBGA package. The part is fabricated on a 0.18 µm copper CMOS process and supports LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, and HSTL I/O standards on independently configurable banks. It is now obsolete.

선택 가이드

Choose the EP20K400CF672C9N when you must repair an existing 672-ball FC-FBGA APEX 20KC board and need the highest available speed grade (-9) with Pb-free finish. For lower-cost repairs where timing margin is not critical, the EP20K400CF672C8N (-8 grade, ~10% slower) is a true drop-in alternative. For new designs, consider migrating to a Cyclone IV EP4CE115 or Cyclone V part - these are active, lower-power, and supported by current Quartus Prime, but require PCB redesign because their BGA pinouts differ.

  • Highest speed grade in the EP20K400 family (vs EP20K400CF672C8N)
  • Lead-free and Pb-free terminal finish (N suffix) (vs EP20K400CF672C9)
  • Same-footprint compatibility with the APEX 20KE family (vs EP20K400EFC672-1N)

설계 노트

The APEX 20KC family requires a low-noise 1.8V core supply for VCCINT plus independently configurable VCCIO rails per I/O bank (commonly 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V). Use a low-dropout regulator such as the TPS7A4701 for VCCINT and per-bank LDOs (e.g., TPS73633) for VCCIO. Bulk-decoupling with 100 µF tantalum plus 0.1 µF/10 nF ceramics per power pin is recommended. Estimated: at full toggle rate with 502 I/Os switching, the device can draw 1.5-2.5 A from VCCINT.

The 672-ball FC-FBGA package uses 1.0 mm ball pitch and requires microvia or via-in-pad technology for reliable breakout. Place at least one 0402 decoupling cap per power pin on the opposite PCB side directly under the BGA array. Use a 1 oz copper power plane for VCCINT and split VCCIO planes per bank to isolate noise. Maintain a continuous ground plane on layer 2 to provide low-impedance return paths for high-speed LVDS pairs.

Do not confuse the APEX 20KC (C-suffix, 1.8V core) with the APEX 20KE (E-suffix, 2.5V core). Although the 672-ball FC-FBGA pinout is shared between families, the core voltage and configuration bitstream are not interchangeable - applying 2.5V to a C-suffix part will damage it. Also confirm that the configuration device (typically an EPC2 or EPC16) matches the chosen speed grade, otherwise JTAG configuration may fail intermittently at temperature extremes.
