EPF6016ATC100-3N

The EPF6016ATC100-3N is an Intel FLEX 6000 family field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 100-pin TQFP (14×14 mm) surface-mount package. It combines a register-rich, look-up table (LUT) based OptiFLEX architecture with on-board I/O and board-level reconfiguration features aimed at low-cost prototyping, design testing, and moderate-density logic integration.

Targeted at commercial applications, this device provides 1,320 logic elements, approximately 16,000 typical gates, and 81 user I/Os, making it suitable for designs that require flexible logic implementation in a compact TQFP footprint while operating from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply.

Key Features

• Core architecture  Register-rich, LUT-based OptiFLEX architecture designed for area efficiency and predictable routing.
• Logic density  1,320 logic elements and approximately 16,000 typical gates for mid-range programmable logic requirements.
• I/O capability  81 user I/O pins with individual tri-state output enable control and programmable output slew-rate to manage switching noise.
• Configuration & test  In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device and built-in JTAG boundary-scan circuitry compliant with IEEE 1149.1 for board-level test and debug.
• Interconnect & arithmetic support  FastTrack continuous routing structure plus dedicated carry and cascade chains for efficient implementation of arithmetic and high fan-in logic functions.
• Clocking  Built-in low-skew clock distribution tree and four low-skew global paths for clock, clear, preset, or logic signals.
• Package & mounting  100-TQFP (14×14 mm) surface-mount package optimized for compact PCB layouts.
• Power & temperature  Supply voltage 3.0 V to 3.6 V; commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.
• Development ecosystem  Family-level support includes standard HDL interfaces, parameterized libraries, and Altera development-system tooling for synthesis, place-and-route, and simulation (as provided for the FLEX 6000 family).

Typical Applications

• Prototyping & design validation  Flexible reprogrammability and moderate logic density make the device well suited for hardware prototyping and iterative design testing.
• Peripheral bridging & I/O control  Multiple I/O pins and programmable slew-rate control enable custom interface logic, glue-logic, and protocol bridging in commercial electronics.
• Custom control and state machines  Register-rich logic and dedicated carry/cascade chains simplify implementation of controllers, sequencers, and arithmetic-heavy functions.
• Board-level test & debug  Integrated IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support facilitates manufacturing test and in-system debug.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range logic density: 1,320 logic elements and ~16,000 gates deliver the capacity needed for moderate-complexity designs without large-package overhead.
• Compact package footprint: 100-pin TQFP (14×14 mm) surface-mount package helps minimize PCB area while providing a substantial number of user I/Os.
• Flexible board-level reconfiguration: Supports in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device to enable firmware updates and rapid design changes.
• Built-in test support: IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan reduces dependency on additional test logic and eases production test and troubleshooting.
• Predictable routing & arithmetic support: FastTrack interconnect plus dedicated carry/cascade chains speed implementation of adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic.
• Commercial temperature and voltage compatibility: Designed for 3.0–3.6 V systems and 0 °C to 85 °C operation for standard commercial electronics environments.
