EPF6016AQC208-1

The EPF6016AQC208-1 is a FLEX 6000 family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel. Based on the OptiFLEX architecture and a register‑rich, LUT‑based structure, this device targets low‑cost programmable logic applications where in‑system reconfigurability and fast design change are important.

With 1,320 logic elements, approximately 16,000 typical gates, 171 I/O pins and a 208‑pin PQFP package, the device is suited for prototyping, control and interface functions in commercial‑grade systems that operate from 3.0 V to 3.6 V and across 0 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• OptiFLEX architecture & LUT-based core Register‑rich look‑up table (LUT) architecture optimized for area efficiency and flexible logic implementation.
• 1,320 logic elements / ~16,000 typical gates Device density that supports medium‑complexity logic and control functions within a compact package footprint.
• Reconfigurable SRAM elements On‑device reprogrammability enables rapid prototyping and in‑circuit design updates.
• Power and supply Operates from 3.0 V to 3.6 V, with low standby current characteristics described for the FLEX 6000 family.
• Robust I/O 171 I/O pins with individual tri‑state output enable control and programmable output slew‑rate to manage switching noise and interface timing.
• Clock and routing Built‑in low‑skew clock distribution and dedicated fast paths (carry and cascade chains) for arithmetic and high‑fan‑in logic functions.
• In‑circuit reconfigurability & JTAG Supports in‑circuit reconfiguration via external configuration devices or controllers and includes IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary‑scan test circuitry without consuming device logic.
• Package & mounting Surface‑mount 208‑pin PQFP (208‑BFQFP) package (supplier device package: 208‑PQFP, 28×28) for standard PCB assembly.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping and design validation In‑system reprogrammability and SRAM‑based configuration make this device suitable for iterative hardware development and design testing.
• Interface bridging and protocol glue logic Multi‑I/O capability and programmable slew control support bridging between different digital subsystems and custom interface logic.
• Embedded control and state machines The register‑rich architecture and dedicated arithmetic chains simplify implementation of control logic, counters, and comparators.
• Consumer and commercial electronics Medium‑density programmable logic for user interfaces, peripheral control, and system glue in commercial‑grade products.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible reprogrammability: Reconfigurable SRAM elements enable rapid design changes and in‑circuit updates without hardware swaps.
• Balanced density and I/O: 1,320 logic elements combined with 171 I/O pins provide a practical mix of logic capacity and external connectivity for mid‑range designs.
• Deterministic clocking and fast paths: Low‑skew clock distribution plus dedicated carry and cascade chains reduce design complexity for arithmetic and timing‑critical functions.
• Built‑in test support: IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary‑scan is available without consuming user logic, simplifying board‑level test and debug.
• Package compatibility: 208‑pin PQFP surface‑mount package fits standard PCB workflows while offering significant I/O density.
• Regulatory and commercial readiness: RoHS compliance and commercial temperature rating make the device suitable for mainstream product lines and procurement.
