EPF6016TC144-2N

The EPF6016TC144-2N is a FLEX 6000 family FPGA offering a register-rich, look-up table (LUT)-based architecture optimized for low-cost, reprogrammable logic. With 1,320 logic elements and approximately 16,000 typical gates, this device targets prototyping, design testing, and low- to mid-volume replacements for gate-array designs.

Designed for 5.0 V systems, the device comes in a 144-pin LQFP surface-mount package and provides up to 117 I/O pins. Family-level features include OptiFLEX area-efficient architecture, in-circuit reconfigurability, JTAG boundary-scan, and a built-in low-skew clock distribution tree suitable for time-sensitive logic designs.

Key Features

• Core Architecture Register-rich, LUT-based OptiFLEX architecture that improves device area efficiency and supports reconfigurable SRAM-based designs.
• Logic Density 1,320 logic elements and a typical gate count of 16,000 provide a compact footprint for mid-density logic implementations.
• I/O and Pin Control Up to 117 I/O pins with individual tri-state output-enable control and programmable output slew-rate control to manage switching noise and interface timing.
• System-Level Reconfiguration In-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via an external configuration device or intelligent controller enables field updates and rapid prototyping iterations.
• Built-in Test and Debug IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan (BST) circuitry is integrated and available without consuming additional device logic.
• Interconnect and Arithmetic Support FastTrack continuous routing, dedicated carry and cascade chains for high-speed arithmetic and high-fan-in logic functions.
• Package & Mounting 144-LQFP (surface mount) package suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.
• Power and Temperature Supply voltage range 4.75 V to 5.25 V; commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Gate-array replacements and low-volume production Use the EPF6016TC144-2N as a programmable alternative to fixed gate-array designs for reduced NRE and faster time-to-market.
• Prototyping and design validation Reprogrammable SRAM-based logic and in-circuit reconfiguration make it well suited for iterative hardware development and testing.
• PCI 5.0 V system interfaces As a 5.0-V device within the FLEX 6000 family, it aligns with systems that require 5.0-V signaling and compliance with PCI Local Bus Specification environments noted for the family.
• Embedded control and glue logic Mid-density logic resources and up to 117 I/Os support control, interfacing, and glue-logic tasks in complex boards.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable design flexibility: SRAM-based configuration and in-circuit reconfigurability simplify iterative development and field updates without hardware changes.
• Balanced density and I/O: 1,320 logic elements combined with 117 I/Os provide a practical balance for moderate-complexity designs that require ample external connectivity.
• Integrated testability: Built-in JTAG boundary-scan improves board-level test coverage without consuming device logic.
• Clock and routing efficiency: A built-in low-skew clock distribution tree and FastTrack interconnect support predictable timing and efficient routing for synchronous designs.
• Package compatibility and footprint options: Available in the 144-LQFP package with family-level SameFrame pin-compatibility across FLEX 6000 devices, easing board revisions and device scaling.
