Preliminary Information
APEX 20KC Programmable Logic Device Data Sheet
General
Description
Similar to APEX 20K and APEX 20KE devices, APEX 20KC devices offer
the MultiCore architecture, which combines the strengths of LUT-based
and product-term-based devices with an enhanced memory structure.
LUT-based logic provides optimized performance and efficiency for data-
path, register-intensive, mathematical, or digital signal processing (DSP)
designs. Product-term-based logic is optimized for complex
combinatorial paths, such as complex state machines. LUT- and product-
term-based logic combined with memory functions and a wide variety of
MegaCore and AMPP functions make the APEX 20KC architecture
uniquely suited for SOPC designs. Applications historically requiring a
combination of LUT-, product-term-, and memory-based devices can now
be integrated into one APEX 20KC device.
APEX 20KC devices include additional features such as enhanced I/O
standard support, CAM, additional global clocks, and enhanced
ClockLock clock circuitry.
Table 7
shows the features included in
APEX 20KC devices.
