EPF6010AFC256-3

The EPF6010AFC256-3 is a FLEX 6000 series FPGA offering a register-rich, LUT-based architecture (OptiFLEX) for reprogrammable logic in commercial applications. It targets low-cost gate-array replacements, prototyping and design testing where in-circuit reconfigurability and flexible I/O are required.

Key on-chip resources include 880 logic elements and approximately 10,000 typical gates, a built-in low-skew clock distribution tree, and support for JTAG boundary-scan. The device ships in a 256-ball BGA (17×17) package and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Core architecture  Register-rich, LUT-based OptiFLEX architecture designed to increase device area efficiency and support fast design changes.
• Logic capacity  880 logic elements and approximately 10,000 typical gates suitable for compact programmable logic designs.
• I/O and interfacing  171 I/O pins with individual tri-state output enable control and programmable output slew-rate to manage signal integrity.
• In-system configurability  In-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration device or intelligent controller for iterative prototyping and field updates.
• Testability and tools  Built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990) and 100% functional device testing reduce board-level debug time.
• Clock and arithmetic support  Built-in low-skew clock distribution and dedicated carry/cascade chains for efficient implementation of adders, counters and high-fan-in logic.
• Interconnect  FastTrack continuous routing structure for predictable interconnect delays and automatic use of dedicated chains by design tools.
• Package and assembly  256-ball BGA (256-FBGA, 17×17) surface-mount package for compact PCB footprints and high pin density.
• Power & voltage  Supply voltage range 3 V to 3.6 V; commercial-grade operation across 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping & design validation  Use the device for rapid iteration and functional testing of logic designs with in-circuit reconfiguration and JTAG support.
• Low-cost gate-array replacement  Replace fixed gate-array parts with a reprogrammable solution to enable late-stage changes and reduce NRE risk.
• Interface bridging  Implement glue logic and voltage-domain bridging using flexible I/O and programmable output slew control.
• Control and sequencing logic  Implement compact control functions, state machines, and arithmetic operations using the device’s logic elements and dedicated chains.

Unique Advantages

• Reconfigurability for fast iteration: In-circuit reconfiguration lets you update functionality without replacing hardware, speeding prototyping and field fixes.
• Compact, efficient architecture: OptiFLEX and LUT-based design delivers area efficiency that supports competitive gate counts in a small package.
• Proven testability: 100% functional testing and integrated JTAG boundary-scan reduce board bring-up time and simplify production test.
• Predictable timing and arithmetic support: Low-skew global paths plus dedicated carry and cascade chains simplify implementation of timing-sensitive logic and arithmetic units.
• High I/O density in a compact package: 171 I/O pins in a 256-ball FBGA (17×17) enable dense signal routing while minimizing PCB area.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliance: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for mainstream commercial designs.
