EPF6024AQC240-1

The EPF6024AQC240-1 is a member of the FLEX 6000 programmable logic device family, based on Altera’s OptiFLEX register-rich, LUT-based architecture. This commercial-grade, surface-mount FPGA delivers approximately 24,000 typical gates implemented as 1,960 logic elements with up to 199 I/O pins in a 240-pin quad-flat package.

Designed for low-cost replacements of gate-array functions and fast design iteration during prototyping and testing, the device targets application areas that require flexible, reprogrammable logic, multi-voltage interfacing, and standard commercial operating conditions.

Key Features

• OptiFLEX architecture  Register-rich, LUT-based architecture for efficient use of device area and predictable routing.
• Logic density  Approximately 24,000 typical gates implemented as 1,960 logic elements for low- to medium-density designs.
• I/O and interfacing  Up to 199 user I/O pins in the 240-pin package and MultiVolt I/O operation to bridge systems operating at different voltages.
• Reconfiguration and test  In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device or intelligent controller plus built-in IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan circuitry for board-level test without consuming user logic.
• Clock and arithmetic support  Built-in low-skew clock distribution tree, dedicated carry and cascade chains for fast adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic functions.
• Interconnect  FastTrack continuous routing structure for predictable interconnect delays and efficient place-and-route.
• Power and supply  Supply voltage range 3.0 V to 3.6 V; family-level support for 3.3 V devices including hot-socketing behavior as described in the FLEX 6000 family documentation.
• Package and mounting  240-pin fine quad flat pack (240-BFQFP / supplier device package 240-PQFP 32×32) optimized for surface-mount assembly.
• Commercial grade and temperature  Commercial-grade device rated for 0°C to 85°C operating temperature.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant manufacturing.
• Design tool support  FLEX 6000 family offers software design support and automatic place-and-route from the vendor’s development system and compatibility with common EDA flows as documented for the family.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping and evaluation  Rapid hardware iteration and functionality testing where in-circuit reconfiguration shortens design cycles.
• Gate-array replacement  Low-cost, reprogrammable alternative to custom gate arrays for moderate-density logic implementations.
• Interface bridging  MultiVolt I/O capability allows bridging and protocol adaptation between subsystems operating at different voltage domains.
• Board-level test and validation  Built-in JTAG boundary-scan simplifies board bring-up and manufacturing test without consuming user logic resources.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible reprogrammability: In-circuit reconfiguration enables design changes during prototyping and allows functionality updates after deployment.
• Balanced logic density and I/O: Nearly 2,000 logic elements with up to 199 I/Os in a 240-pin package provides a practical balance of logic resources and external connectivity.
• Predictable timing and arithmetic support: Low-skew global routing, dedicated carry and cascade chains reduce implementation complexity for timing-critical arithmetic and control functions.
• Broad tool and family support: Family-level software support and pin-compatibility across FLEX 6000 devices simplify migration between densities and speed development.
• Commercial-temperature operation: Rated for 0°C to 85°C to match typical commercial embedded and consumer applications.
• RoHS compliance: Manufactured to meet RoHS environmental requirements.
