High-density APEX 20KE device technology can now be used in high-volume applications where significant cost reduction is sought thanks to HardCopy APEXTM devices. APEX 20KC and APEX 20KE devices are physically and functionally interchangeable with HardCopy APEX devices. They combine the faster time to market, improved performance, and adaptability of APEX 20KE devices with the capacity to switch to low-priced, high-volume devices for manufacturing. The migration from an APEX 20KE device to a HardCopy APEX device is entirely automated, with only a few output files generated by Quartus II software requiring the cooperation of the designer.
