What is an APEX 20KE FPGA? The APEX 20KE is the second-generation Advanced Programmable eXtended (APEX) architecture from Altera (now Intel PSG), which pioneered System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration by embedding high-density logic, embedded array blocks (EABs), and LVDS-capable I/O into a single die. APEX devices sit at the top of the SRAM-based PLD hierarchy - PLD > CPLD > FPGA > APEX 20KE - and were Altera's flagship high-density logic family before being superseded by Stratix and Cyclone.
Key features include MultiCore architecture combining Logic Array Blocks (LABs) for fine-grained logic and Embedded System Blocks (ESBs) for memory and specialty functions, 4 dedicated inputs plus 92 bidirectional I/Os totaling 96 user terminals, support for LVTTL/LVCMOS/PCI I/O standards, and in-system programmability via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG plus passive serial and Altera EPC configuration devices. The 1.8 V core with 1.72 ns propagation delay enables 160 MHz internal operation in combinatorial paths.
Typical applications include telecommunications line cards, industrial control and motor-drive glue logic, PCI interface bridging, high-end consumer audio/video processing, and prototype ASIC emulation. The combination of 60 K usable gates and 92 I/Os in a low-cost plastic TQFP makes it well suited to volume production where BGA rework would be uneconomical.
Design consideration: the TQFP-144 footprint is the key reason this variant remains in long-life-cycle programs - migrating to a BGA-356 variant of the same die (e.g., EP20K60EBC356-2X) requires PCB rework and is not pin-compatible. When designing, derate the 160 MHz internal frequency to ≤ 120 MHz for cascaded carry chains and ≤ 80 MHz for ESB block-RAM access to meet timing closure with margin.

典型應用
EP20K60ETC144-2X 適用於 6 應用s: Telecommunications Line Card Glue Logic, Industrial Motor Control & Factory Automation, PCI Bus Bridge & Interface Logic, ASIC Prototyping & Emulation, High-End Consumer Audio/Video Processing, Medical Imaging Front-End Signal Conditioning.
Telecommunications Line Card Glue Logic
The EP20K60ETC144-2X is well suited to telecommunications line-interface cards where 60K gates of programmable logic plus 92 user I/Os are needed to bridge TDM backplanes, perform framing/deframing, and implement HDLC or ATM adaptation layers. Its 1.8 V core draws modest power, while the TQFP-144 plastic package is far easier to inspect and rework than the BGA-356 alternative for field-serviceable telecom equipment. The 160 MHz internal frequency comfortably supports 155 MHz OC-3 tributary processing with margin. Pair the FPGA with a PHY like the Intel/Altera LXT971A or a TI TLK1501 serializer, configure via EPC2 or EPC16, and use the JTAG port for in-system boundary-scan testing during board bring-up.
推薦
Industrial Motor Control & Factory Automation
Industrial servo drives and PLCs use the EP20K60ETC144-2X for encoder quadrature decoding, PWM generation, and EtherCAT/CANopen protocol handling where deterministic logic and abundant I/O matter more than raw clock speed. The 92 user I/Os accommodate multi-axis feedback signals, while the 25,600 logic elements implement closed-loop PID algorithms with microsecond latency. The 0 °C to 85 °C commercial temperature range is acceptable for cabinet-mounted equipment; for harsher environments, derate or specify the -I industrial variant. Design with isolated I/O via ADuM1400 series digital isolators and add an EPC configuration device so the FPGA self-loads after power-up without processor intervention.
推薦
PCI Bus Bridge & Interface Logic
The EP20K60ETC144-2X is a classic PCI bridge FPGA, implementing target or initiator interfaces at 33 MHz/66 MHz PCI 2.2 with 92 I/Os dedicated to address/data multiplexing, arbitration, and side-band signals. Its 60K-gate capacity absorbs full PCI protocol state machines plus payload FIFOs in a single device, eliminating the need for an external companion CPLD. The 144-TQFP footprint keeps the PCB layout conventional through-hole-friendly for legacy industrial backplanes. Use the LVTTL 3.3 V I/O standard to meet PCI signaling levels directly; the Quartus design tool includes pre-verified PCI megafunctions that compile in under 30 minutes for this die size.
推薦
ASIC Prototyping & Emulation
Pre-silicon ASIC validation teams historically selected the EP20K60ETC144-2X as an emulator vehicle for designs up to 50K-60K gates because the 25,600 logic elements map efficiently to ASIC standard-cell libraries and the 144-TQFP package enables fast socketed breadboarding. The device supports multi-FPGA partitioning when larger ASICs are split across multiple APEX 20KE devices connected via LVDS. Use the Quartus SignalTap logic analyzer to capture real-time internal states during ASIC bring-up. While modern ASIC prototyping prefers Cyclone V or Stratix 10, the EP20K60ETC144-2X remains in use in long-running aerospace and defense programs where redesign is not feasible.

High-End Consumer Audio/Video Processing
DVD/Blu-ray player mainboards, professional audio mixers, and video-wall controllers integrated the EP20K60ETC144-2X to perform pixel-rate video processing, sample-rate conversion, and multi-channel audio routing. Its 92 I/Os comfortably route 24-bit digital audio buses plus ITU-R BT.656 video alongside control interfaces, while the 160 MHz internal clock supports 720p video timing without frame drops. The 1.8 V core reduces power dissipation compared to 3.3 V predecessors, important for thermally-constrained consumer enclosures. Combine with a Cirrus Logic CS4344 DAC or Analog Devices ADV7180 video decoder, and use the JTAG port for factory test of soldered boards.
推薦
Medical Imaging Front-End Signal Conditioning
Ultrasound beamformers and patient-monitoring front-ends use the EP20K60ETC144-2X to implement digital beam steering, FIR filter banks, and ADC-to-DSP data routing at moderate sample rates. The 60K-gate capacity is sufficient for a 16-channel beamformer with 8-tap apodization, while 92 I/Os accommodate LVDS ADC data pairs and synchronization triggers. Commercial 0-85 °C operation suits chassis-controlled medical environments. Pair with an AD9268 16-bit ADC and a TMS320C6713 DSP, configuring the FPGA via JTAG in production for last-minute filter-coefficient updates. Note: medical designs require IEC 60601-1 system-level compliance regardless of FPGA choice.

設計說明
Estimated: APEX 20KE EP20K60E core current scales with toggle rate and junction temperature. At 160 MHz with 50% toggle rate across 25,600 logic elements and VCCINT = 1.8 V, ICCINT is typically 200 mA to 400 mA (estimated: I_core = C_eff × V × f × N_LEs / 2). Design a 1.8 V regulator with at least 1 A headroom; tie all VCCINT pins together with a star ground and decouple each pin with 0.1 µF + 10 µF bulk. VCCIO bank supplies must match the driven-receiver logic level (3.3 V LVTTL default).
TQFP-144 (20x20 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) demands 4-layer PCB with continuous power/ground planes for switching-current return paths. Fan-out can be escape-routed on outer layers using 0.20 mm (8 mil) traces between TQFP pads; inner pads route through 0.30 mm (12 mil) micro-vias. Place all eight VCCIO bank-supply pins within 50 mm of their respective decoupling caps and add a ferrite bead between the 1.8 V regulator and the FPGA core pins to suppress switching noise. Reference: Altera AN 75 (Quartus Power Optimization).
Do not leave MSEL0/MSEL1 floating - tie them to GND or VCC via 10 kΩ resistors per the configuration-mode table, otherwise the device enters an undefined state at power-up. Always drive nCONFIG high with a 10 kΩ pull-up to VCCIO after power-stable, and monitor nSTATUS during boot. Avoid hot-socketing the TQFP without a sequence resistor on the configuration pins, and never apply VCCIO before VCCINT - reverse power sequencing can latch-up the I/O buffers.
