EPF6016ATC144-2

The EPF6016ATC144-2 is a FLEX 6000 programmable logic device based on a register-rich, look-up table (LUT) architecture and Altera’s OptiFLEX structural optimizations. It provides reprogrammable SRAM-based logic suitable for mid-volume gate-array replacement, rapid prototyping, and system-level I/O glue and bridging.

With 1,320 logic elements and approximately 16,000 typical gates, 117 I/O pins and support for in-circuit reconfiguration, this 144-pin surface-mount device targets designs that need flexible logic, multi-voltage I/O interfacing, and compact package options at commercial temperature grades.

Key Features

• Core architecture  Register-rich LUT-based architecture with OptiFLEX area-efficient implementation for compact programmable logic integration.
• Logic resources  1,320 logic elements and approximately 16,000 typical gates provide a solution for moderate-complexity programmable logic tasks.
• I/O capability  117 user I/O pins with individual tri-state output enable control and programmable output slew-rate control to optimize signal integrity and interfacing.
• In-circuit reconfigurability  Supports in-circuit reconfiguration via an external configuration device or intelligent controller to enable field updates and iterative development.
• Dedicated arithmetic support  Built-in carry and cascade chains accelerate adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic functions for common arithmetic and control tasks.
• Interconnect and clocking  FastTrack interconnect structure for predictable routing delays and a built-in low-skew clock distribution tree for reliable timing across the device.
• Test and debug  Built-in JTAG boundary-scan circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990, implemented without consuming user logic.
• Power and voltage  Designed for 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply operation; low standby power (typical <0.5 mA) is documented for reduced idle consumption.
• Package and mounting  144-pin LQFP surface-mount package (supplier package: 144-TQFP 20×20) for compact PCB footprint and standard SMT assembly.
• Commercial grade and environmental  Commercial operating range 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS-compliant material status.
• Software and ecosystem  Supported by FLEX 6000 device family design flows and automated place-and-route tools (as provided for the FLEX 6000 family).

Typical Applications

• Prototyping and design validation  Reprogrammable SRAM logic and in-circuit reconfiguration make the device suited for iterative development and rapid hardware testing.
• Gate-array replacement for mid-volume products  Provides a programmable alternative to fixed gate-array designs where post-manufacture changes or lower NRE are desired.
• Mixed-voltage system interfacing  MultiVolt I/O interface capability enables bridging between subsystems operating at different voltage levels.
• System glue and I/O control  Use the available I/O and dedicated arithmetic resources for protocol glue logic, peripheral interfacing, and simple control functions.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible, reprogrammable logic:  SRAM-based LUT architecture lets you change functionality during prototyping or in the field via in-circuit reconfiguration.
• Compact integration:  OptiFLEX architecture and 1,320 logic elements deliver a balance of density and routability for space-constrained designs.
• Rich I/O and control:  117 I/O pins with individual enable and programmable slew-rate control help optimize board-level signal performance and reduce external components.
• Built-in testability:  IEEE 1149.1-compliant boundary-scan reduces the need for additional test logic while simplifying board-level test strategies.
• Scalable family support:  SameFrame pin-compatibility across FLEX 6000 devices in the same package family enables migration between densities without changing PCB footprints.
• Low idle power:  Documented low standby current (typical <0.5 mA) supports designs that require reduced power in idle or standby modes.
