EPF6016QC240-3

The EPF6016QC240-3 is a FLEX 6000 series field programmable gate array (FPGA) optimized for cost-sensitive, reprogrammable logic designs. Based on a register-rich, LUT-based OptiFLEX architecture, it provides a compact, high-density implementation for replacing gate-array designs and accelerating prototyping and design testing.

With 1,320 logic elements, approximately 16,000 typical gates and 199 I/O pins in a 240-pin PQFP surface-mount package, this commercial-grade device supports in-circuit reconfigurability and system-level features suited to I/O-intensive embedded applications operating at a 5.0 V supply range.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  Register-rich, LUT-based OptiFLEX architecture for area-efficient, reprogrammable logic implementations and predictable routing.
• Logic Density  Approximately 16,000 typical gates implemented across 1,320 logic elements, enabling medium-density programmable logic functions.
• I/O Capability  199 I/O pins with individual tri-state output enable control and programmable output slew-rate for flexible interfacing and reduced switching noise.
• System-Level Reconfiguration  Supports in-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration device or intelligent controller for field updates and iterative prototyping.
• Clocking and High-Speed Functions  Built-in low-skew clock distribution tree and dedicated carry and cascade chains for efficient arithmetic and high-fan-in logic functions.
• Test and Boundary-Scan  Includes IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 JTAG boundary-scan test (BST) circuitry available without consuming device logic.
• Power and Voltage  5.0 V device specified for 4.75 V to 5.25 V operation; low standby current is a documented family feature.
• Package & Mounting  240-pin PQFP (240-BFQFP / 32×32) surface-mount package; commercial-grade operating temperature 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant commercial device.
• Development Support  Supported by Altera development system and common EDA tool flows for automatic place-and-route and design entry.

Typical Applications

• Gate-array replacement  Cost-focused designs that require a programmable alternative to fixed gate-array implementations, with the flexibility to alter logic during development.
• Prototyping and design testing  Rapid iteration and in-circuit reconfiguration enable hardware validation and functional updates during the development cycle.
• High-I/O glue logic  Systems requiring extensive external interfacing or signal aggregation can leverage 199 I/O pins and programmable I/O controls for board-level integration.
• 5 V peripheral systems  Suitable for designs operating with a 5.0 V supply, including systems that conform to PCI Local Bus voltage domains as identified for 5.0 V FLEX 6000 devices.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable, field-updatable logic  In-circuit reconfigurability lets you deploy updates and bug fixes without board rework, reducing lifecycle risk.
• High I/O count in a compact package  199 I/O pins in a 240-pin PQFP provide dense external connectivity while maintaining a standard surface-mount footprint.
• Efficient arithmetic and routing  Dedicated carry and cascade chains plus FastTrack interconnect reduce design effort for adders, counters and high-fan-in logic.
• Built-in testability  On-chip JTAG boundary-scan simplifies board-level test without consuming logic resources.
• Proven toolchain support  Compatibility with Altera development tools and common EDA flows accelerates bring-up and reduces design iteration time.
• Regulatory and assembly readiness  RoHS compliance and standard surface-mount packaging support modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.

Why Choose EPF6016QC240-3?
