EPF6016QC208-2N

The EPF6016QC208-2N is a member of the FLEX 6000 programmable logic family, offering a register-rich, LUT-based architecture optimized for low-cost, reprogrammable logic implementations. With approximately 16,000 gates implemented across 1,320 logic elements and 171 general-purpose I/O pins in a 208-pin surface-mount package, this device targets prototyping, design testing, and mid-density glue-logic or control applications where in-system flexibility and fast design iteration matter.

Built on the OptiFLEX architecture and supplied as a commercial-grade 5.0 V device, the EPF6016QC208-2N supports in-circuit reconfigurability, standardized JTAG boundary-scan, and a suite of I/O and interconnect features that simplify board-level integration and design reuse.

Key Features

• Logic Density — Approximately 16,000 typical gates implemented as 1,320 logic elements, providing a mid-density programmable fabric for control, interface, and glue-logic functions.
• Flexible I/O — 171 I/O pins with individual tri-state output-enable control and programmable output slew-rate control for reduced switching noise and flexible board interfacing.
• Package & Mounting — 208-pin BFQFP package (208-PQFP footprint, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor suitable for compact PCB layouts.
• Power & Voltage — 5.0 V device with a specified supply range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V to support legacy 5 V systems and board-level power domains.
• Temperature & Grade — Commercial-grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature.
• Architecture & Interconnect — OptiFLEX architecture with FastTrack continuous routing, dedicated carry and cascade chains for arithmetic and high-fan-in logic functions, and four low-skew global paths for clock or control signals.
• System-level Features — In-circuit reconfigurability via an external configuration device or controller, built-in IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan circuitry, and support for bridging systems with different I/O voltages through MultiVolt I/O operation.
• Test & Reliability — 100% functional testing prior to shipment to simplify board bring-up and reduce field failures.
• Development Ecosystem — Family-level support for automatic place-and-route and software-based design flows as described in the FLEX 6000 documentation.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping & Development — Rapid hardware iteration, functional validation, and design testing where reprogrammability and fast changes are required.
• Gate-Array Replacement — Low-cost, reprogrammable alternative to fixed gate-array designs for mid-volume production and design evolution.
• Peripheral & Bus Interfaces — 5.0 V compatibility and flexible I/O make the device suitable for implementing PCI-compliant peripheral logic and other 5 V interface bridges.
• Control & Glue Logic — Custom state machines, interface glue, and embedded control functions that benefit from dedicated carry/cascade chains and abundant I/O.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable Flexibility: In-circuit reconfigurability enables on-board updates and functional changes without replacing hardware.
• Mid-Density Integration: 1,320 logic elements and 16,000 typical gates provide a balance between capacity and cost for control and interfacing tasks.
• Robust I/O Control: Individual tri-state enables and programmable slew-rate let you tailor signal behavior to reduce noise and meet board-level timing.
• Deterministic Interconnect: FastTrack routing, dedicated carry and cascade chains, and low-skew global paths simplify timing closure for arithmetic and synchronous logic.
• Proven Testability: Built-in JTAG boundary-scan and 100% functional testing streamline board-level validation and manufacturing test.
• Commercial Temperature Range: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for a wide range of consumer and industrial control electronics.
