EP20K160ETC144-2X

Designed for next-generation automotive electronics, Altera's EP20K160ETC144-2X sets new standards in Embedded - FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) for reliability and performance. This radiation-hardened FPGA meets stringent automotive qualification requirements while delivering the computational power needed for autonomous driving subsystems. The architecture incorporates triple-redundant voting logic and SEU-resistant memory for functional safety applications.The 640 logic array blocks are arranged in fault-tolerant triplets for safety-critical applications. Each CLB includes mismatch detection circuits that flag potential soft errors before they affect system operation.The 88 automotive-grade I/Os support 12V fault tolerance and include built-in current limiting. Each I/O bank can be independently configured for LIN/CAN FD/FlexRay interface protocols common in vehicle networks.Operating from 1.71V ~ 1.89V, the power architecture includes load-dump protection and reverse polarity safeguards. The adaptive body biasing technique reduces leakage current during extended vehicle standby periods.The Surface Mount package meets automotive vibration specifications while maintaining reliable connections under thermal cycling. The solder joint design has been optimized for lead-free assembly processes required in modern vehicle electronics.Qualified for 0°C ~ 85°C (TJ) operation, the device maintains timing margins across the full automotive temperature range. The thermal shutdown circuitry prevents damage during extended exposure to under-hood conditions.The 144-LQFP package incorporates copper heat spreaders for efficient thermal management in confined automotive modules. The mold compound has been formulated for resistance to automotive fluids and cleaning agents.Supplied in 144-TQFP (20x20) configuration, the device includes automotive-grade moisture sensitivity labeling. The tape-and-reel packaging complies with automated assembly requirements for high-volume vehicle production.
