EPF6024AQC240-3

The EPF6024AQC240-3 is a FLEX 6000 family FPGA featuring the OptiFLEX LUT-based architecture and register-rich logic. It provides a reprogrammable, low-cost alternative to high-volume gate array designs and is targeted at prototyping, design testing, and low- to mid-volume programmable logic applications.

With 1,960 logic elements (approximately 24,000 typical gates), 199 I/O pins, and support for in-circuit reconfiguration and IEEE-1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan, this device balances moderate logic density, flexible I/O, and system-level configurability for embedded and control-oriented designs.

Key Features

• Core Architecture — OptiFLEX register-rich, LUT-based architecture designed to improve device area efficiency and routing.
• Logic Capacity — 1,960 logic elements delivering approximately 24,000 typical gates for implementing combinational and sequential logic.
• I/O and Interface Capabilities — 199 I/O pins with per-pin tri-state output enable and programmable output slew-rate control for optimized signal integrity and interface flexibility.
• Configuration & Test — In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device or intelligent controller; built-in IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan (BST) circuitry for board-level test and programming without consuming user logic.
• Interconnect & Arithmetic Support — FastTrack continuous routing structure, dedicated carry and cascade chains to implement arithmetic and high-fan-in logic functions efficiently.
• Power and Voltage — Supply voltage 3.0 V to 3.6 V; low-power standby behavior is supported by the FLEX 6000 family architecture.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount device in a 240-pin BFQFP package (product lists Package Case: 240-BFQFP and Supplier Device Package: 240-PQFP (32×32)).
• Commercial Temperature Rating — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation suitable for commercial applications.
• No Embedded SRAM — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0, for designs that rely on external memory or do not require embedded RAM.
• Design Tool Support — FLEX 6000 family devices are supported by software design flows that provide automatic place-and-route and industry-standard design-entry formats.

Typical Applications

• Prototype and Design Validation — Rapidly iterate hardware logic and verify system behavior during development thanks to the device’s reprogrammability and JTAG support.
• Low- to Mid-Volume Gate Array Replacement — Implement custom logic without the cost and lead time of ASIC gate arrays while retaining the ability to change designs in the field.
• Interface Bridging & Glue Logic — Use the device’s flexible I/O and programmable routing to bridge peripherals or implement board-level glue logic between subsystems operating at different voltages.
• Control and Sequencing — Implement control state machines, counters, and arithmetic functions using dedicated carry and cascade chains for efficient resource use.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable Flexibility: In-circuit reconfiguration enables design updates and functional changes without hardware replacement.
• Balanced Logic Density: 1,960 logic elements (~24,000 gates) provide substantial capability for complex glue logic and mid-size designs while maintaining manageable power and footprint.
• Comprehensive I/O: 199 I/O pins with per-pin control and slew-rate programmability simplify signal interfacing and help control switching noise.
• Built-in Testability: IEEE-1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan facilitates board-level testing and in-field diagnostics without consuming user logic resources.
• Efficient Arithmetic Support: Dedicated carry and cascade chains accelerate adders, counters, and high-fan-in functions to improve performance for common logic patterns.
• Commercial Readiness: Surface-mount 240-pin package and 0 °C to 85 °C rating suit a wide range of commercial embedded systems and production environments.
