EPF6016AQC208-3N

The EPF6016AQC208-3N is a FLEX 6000 series field programmable gate array (FPGA) device offering OptiFLEX register-rich, LUT-based architecture and a flexible interconnect structure. Designed as a low-cost, reconfigurable alternative to fixed gate-array implementations, it supports rapid prototyping, design iteration, and in-system updates.

With 1,320 logic elements (approximately 16,000 typical gates) and 171 I/O pins in a 208-pin surface-mount package, this commercial-grade device targets control, interface-bridging, and logic-integration applications that require moderate logic density and flexible I/O support within a 0 °C to 85 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Core Architecture OptiFLEX register-rich, LUT-based architecture providing area-efficient programmable logic resources and predictable routing.
• Logic Density 1,320 logic elements (about 16,000 typical gates) for mid-range combinational and sequential logic integration.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility 171 I/O pins with individual tri-state output enable and programmable output slew-rate control to manage signal integrity and interfacing across mixed-voltage systems.
• In-Circuit Reconfiguration & JTAG Supports in-circuit reconfigurability via an external configuration device or intelligent controller and includes IEEE Std. 1149.1 boundary-scan (JTAG) circuitry for board-level test and debug.
• Flexible Interconnect and Arithmetic Support FastTrack interconnect with dedicated carry and cascade chains for efficient implementation of adders, counters, comparators, and high-fan-in logic.
• Power and Supply Operates from 3 V to 3.6 V supply range; series documentation notes low standby power (typical < 0.5 mA).
• Package & Mounting Supplied in a 208‑BFQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package references a 208‑PQFP 28×28 footprint) for compact PCB implementation.
• Commercial Grade & Environmental Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature and RoHS compliant.
• Design Tool Support Series documentation provides software design support and automatic place-and-route for common development environments.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping and Design Testing Rapidly iterate and validate hardware designs thanks to reprogrammable logic and in-circuit reconfiguration capabilities.
• Gate-Array Replacement Cost-effective programmable alternative to fixed gate arrays for moderate-volume projects that require post-production design changes.
• Interface Bridging Multi‑voltage I/O capability enables bridging between subsystems operating at different logic levels and integrating mixed-voltage peripherals.
• Control and Glue Logic Implement custom control, sequencing, and peripheral interfacing where 1,320 logic elements and abundant I/O pins meet system requirements.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: Provides mid-range capacity with 1,320 logic elements and ~16,000 gates suitable for moderate-complexity designs without excess resources.
• Extensive I/O Count: 171 programmable I/Os simplify board-level integration by supporting multiple peripherals and interface standards on a single device.
• In-System Flexibility: In-circuit reconfiguration and JTAG boundary-scan enable field updates, debugging, and production test without consuming user logic.
• Efficient Arithmetic and Routing: Dedicated carry and cascade chains plus FastTrack interconnect reduce implementation effort for arithmetic and high-fan-in functions.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount packaging supports dense PCB layouts while maintaining a standard PQFP footprint option for ease of assembly.
• Regulatory and Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious product assemblies.
