EPF6016AQC208-2

The EPF6016AQC208-2 is a FLEX 6000 series field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel, delivering a register-rich, LUT-based architecture optimized for low-cost gate-array replacement and rapid prototyping. It combines 1,320 logic elements and approximately 16,000 typical gates with a flexible I/O set—171 pins—making it suitable for a wide range of digital system designs.

Built on the OptiFLEX architecture, this 3.0–3.6 V device supports in-circuit reconfigurability and includes system-level features such as built-in JTAG boundary-scan and a low-skew clock distribution tree to simplify board-level integration and test.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  Register-rich, look-up table (LUT) based OptiFLEX architecture that increases device area efficiency and supports reprogrammable logic.
• Logic Capacity  1,320 logic elements providing approximately 16,000 typical gates for medium-density logic integration.
• I/O and Interfaces  171 user I/O pins with individual tri-state output enable control and programmable output slew-rate control for reduced switching noise and flexible board interfacing.
• System-Level Features  In-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration device or intelligent controller, plus built-in IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry for board-level diagnostics.
• Interconnect and Arithmetic Support  Dedicated carry and cascade chains for efficient implementation of adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic; FastTrack continuous routing structure for predictable interconnect delays.
• Package & Mounting  Surface-mount 208-BFQFP / 208-PQFP (28×28) package, supporting compact board layouts and standardized assembly.
• Power & Temperature  Supply voltage range 3.0 V to 3.6 V and commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping and Development  Rapid design iteration and testing where in-circuit reconfiguration and reprogrammability accelerate development cycles.
• Gate-Array Replacement  Cost-effective alternative to fixed gate-array implementations for medium-density logic integration and lower NRE risk.
• System Glue Logic and I/O Bridging  Implement bus bridging, protocol translation, and custom I/O control using flexible I/O and programmable logic.
• Embedded Control  Control and interface functions for embedded systems that benefit from dedicated carry chains and predictable interconnect for arithmetic and control logic.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: 1,320 logic elements and ~16,000 typical gates provide a practical balance of capacity and cost for medium-complexity designs.
• Extensive I/O Count: 171 I/O pins enable broad peripheral and bus connectivity without external multiplexing.
• Reconfigurability: In-circuit reconfigurability lets designers update functionality in-system, shortening debug cycles and enabling field updates.
• Built-in Testability: Integrated IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan circuitry simplifies board-level testing and debug.
• Package Flexibility: 208-pin PQFP/BFQFP surface-mount package supports compact PCB layouts and automated assembly.
• Vendor Toolchain Support: Family-level support includes software place-and-route and development tools to streamline design implementation and verification.
