EPF6016ATC144-3

The EPF6016ATC144-3 is a FLEX 6000 family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device based on the OptiFLEX® look-up table (LUT) architecture. It provides reconfigurable SRAM-based logic with in-circuit reconfigurability for prototyping, design testing, and low-cost alternatives to gate-array implementations.

With 1,320 logic elements (approximately 16,000 typical gates), 117 I/O pins in a 144-pin surface-mount package, and a 3.0–3.6 V supply range, this device suits embedded control, interface bridging, and small- to medium-density programmable logic tasks where flexible I/O and field updates are required.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,320 logic elements and approximately 16,000 typical gates provide medium-density programmable logic for control, glue logic, and moderate datapath implementations.
• I/O and Package — 117 available I/O pins in a 144-LQFP surface-mount package (supplier package listed as 144-TQFP, 20×20). Suitable for designs that require a balance of I/O count and compact board footprint.
• OptiFLEX® Architecture — Register-rich, LUT-based architecture designed to increase device area efficiency and support reprogrammable SRAM logic.
• Clock and Interconnect — Built-in low-skew clock distribution tree and FastTrack® continuous routing structure for predictable timing and routing behavior; dedicated carry and cascade chains for arithmetic and high-fan-in logic.
• In-Circuit Reconfigurability (ICR) — Supports configuration via an external configuration device or intelligent controller to enable design updates without device replacement.
• Boundary-Scan (JTAG) — Built-in IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry available without consuming additional device logic.
• Power and Supply — 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply voltage range; device documentation notes low-power standby behavior for system-level power management.
• Pin Control and Signal Integrity — Individual tri-state output enable per pin and programmable output slew-rate control to help manage switching noise and interface timing.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C for commercial applications.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Design Tools and Support — Software design support and automatic place-and-route are provided by the FLEX 6000 development tools referenced in the device family documentation.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping and Development — Rapid iteration and in-circuit reconfiguration make the device suitable for hardware prototyping and design validation workflows.
• Gate-Array Replacement — Medium-density programmable alternative to lower-volume gate array designs, reducing time-to-market for small production runs and design changes.
• Embedded Control and Glue Logic — Implement controllers, state machines, and interface logic in compact board layouts using the device’s combination of logic elements and I/O.
• Mixed-Voltage Interface Bridging — Multi-voltage I/O capabilities documented for the FLEX 6000 family allow the device to bridge systems operating at different voltage levels.

Unique Advantages

• Field Reconfigurability: In-circuit reconfigurability enables firmware-like updates to hardware logic without replacing the device.
• Balanced Logic and I/O: 1,320 logic elements paired with 117 I/O pins in a 144-pin package provides a practical balance for medium-density board designs.
• Deterministic Timing Structures: Low-skew clock distribution and dedicated carry/cascade chains deliver predictable timing for arithmetic and control paths.
• Design Toolchain Support: Documented software design support and automatic place-and-route tools simplify implementation and reduce development time.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant manufacturing status supports modern assembly requirements.
