EPF6016TC144-2

The EPF6016TC144-2 is a FLEX 6000 family field programmable gate array (FPGA) manufactured by Intel. It uses a register-rich, look-up table (LUT) based OptiFLEX architecture to deliver reprogrammable logic capacity in a 144-pin thin quad flat package.

With 1,320 logic elements and approximately 16,000 typical gates, 117 user I/O pins, and support for 5.0 V systems (4.75 V to 5.25 V supply), this device targets low-cost gate-array replacements, rapid prototyping, and designs requiring flexible I/O and in-circuit reconfiguration.

Key Features

• Core architecture — Register-rich, LUT-based OptiFLEX architecture designed to increase device area efficiency and routability.
• Logic capacity — 1,320 logic elements and approximately 16,000 typical gates for mid-density logic integration.
• I/O and interfaces — 117 I/O pins with individual tri-state output enable control and programmable output slew-rate to manage switching noise and signal integrity.
• Configuration and test — Supports in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device or intelligent controller; built-in JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) for device test without consuming additional user logic.
• Clock and interconnect — Built-in low-skew clock distribution tree and dedicated carry and cascade chains for arithmetic and high-fan-in logic functions.
• Power and supply — Designed for 5.0 V operation with a supply range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V; low-power standby behavior is documented for the FLEX 6000 family.
• Package and mounting — Surface-mount 144-LQFP (supplier device package listed as 144-TQFP 20×20) for compact board integration.
• Operating range and compliance — Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping and design validation — Rapidly iterate logic designs and validate gate-array replacements during development and testing phases.
• Gate-array replacement — Low-cost programmable alternative to high-volume gate array implementations where mid-density logic and reprogrammability are required.
• Embedded control and interface bridging — Use the device’s MultiVolt I/O capabilities and flexible I/O control for bridging between systems operating at different voltages and managing peripheral interfaces.
• PCI-based systems — 5.0 V device operation aligns with PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2 for designs requiring PCI compatibility.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable flexibility: In-circuit reconfigurability allows functional updates during prototyping or field maintenance without replacing hardware.
• Testability built-in: IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan is included, enabling board-level test and diagnostics without consuming user logic.
• Predictable timing and routing: Low-skew global clock paths and FastTrack interconnect structure provide predictable routing delays for time-sensitive designs.
• Arithmetic and high fan-in support: Dedicated carry and cascade chains simplify implementation of adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic using standard design tools.
• Commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant package: Surface-mount 144-pin LQFP package with commercial temperature range and RoHS compliance for standard embedded and electronics applications.
