EPF6024AQC208-1N

The EPF6024AQC208-1N is a FLEX 6000 family programmable logic device from Intel, delivered in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. It implements a register-rich, LUT-based OptiFLEX architecture and targets low-cost gate-array replacement, prototyping, and design testing where field reconfigurability and flexible I/O are required.

This device combines 1,960 logic elements (typical ~24,000 gates) and up to 171 I/O pins with features such as low-skew clock routing, in-circuit reconfigurability, and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support to simplify board integration and accelerate development cycles.

Key Features

• Core architecture Register-rich, look-up table (LUT) based OptiFLEX architecture designed for efficient area utilization and predictable routing.
• Logic capacity Approximately 1,960 logic elements (typical equivalent ~24,000 gates) suitable for moderate-density programmable logic tasks.
• I/O and interfacing Up to 171 I/O pins with individual tri-state output enable control and programmable output slew-rate control to help manage switching noise and interface timing.
• Clock and interconnect Built-in low-skew clock distribution tree with four low-skew global paths and FastTrack interconnect for predictable routing and timing. Dedicated carry and cascade chains support efficient arithmetic and high-fan-in logic functions.
• Configuration and test In-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration device or intelligent controller; built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (BST) circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990, available without consuming additional device logic.
• Power and voltage Supply voltage range 3.0 V to 3.6 V; datasheet-family notes low standby current (typical specification less than 0.5 mA in standby mode).
• Package & mounting 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP 28 × 28), surface-mount mounting for compact board designs.
• Operating conditions & compliance Commercial grade operation with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for environmental compatibility.
• Design support FLEX 6000 family design flow and automatic place-and-route support for common engineering platforms and EDA tool environments referenced in the family datasheet.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping & design validation Rapid hardware iterations and function changes during prototype cycles through in-circuit reconfigurability and reprogrammable logic.
• Low-volume gate-array replacement Cost-effective programmable alternative for replacing small-scale gate-array designs where post-production changes may be required.
• Mixed-voltage interface bridging MultiVolt I/O interface capabilities make the device suitable for bridging subsystems that operate at different I/O voltages.
• Boundary-scan enabled testing Built-in IEEE 1149.1 JTAG BST circuitry simplifies board-level testability and production debug.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic density and gate count: 1,960 logic elements with a typical equivalent of ~24,000 gates provides a middle-ground density for moderate-complexity designs without excessive BOM cost.
• Flexible I/O and signal control: 171 I/O pins with per-pin tri-state enable and slew-rate control make it easier to manage signal integrity and interface timing across diverse peripherals.
• Field reconfigurability: In-circuit reconfiguration support enables on-board updates and functional changes without removing the device from the system.
• Integrated test support: IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG boundary-scan is available without consuming additional device logic, simplifying manufacturing test and in-field diagnostics.
• Compact surface-mount package: 208-BFQFP (208-PQFP 28 × 28) provides a compact footprint for space-constrained boards while preserving a high pin count.
• Commercial-grade operating range: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant, suitable for a wide array of commercial electronic applications.
