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.
