EPF6016ATC144-1

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The Altera EPF6016ATC144-1 is a Field Programmable Gate Array belonging to the FLEX 6000 family. It utilizes the OptiFLEX architecture, providing 1320 Logic Elements (LEs) and 117 I/O pins within a 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) package. The device operates at a supply voltage of 3.3 V and supports in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices. It features built-in JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 and includes dedicated carry and cascade chains for high-speed arithmetic functions.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix '-1' against official datasheets to confirm timing parameters. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical FLEX 6000 variants may differ. Check for obsolescence or lifecycle status prior to procurement planning.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, reprogrammable alternative to high-volume gate arrays is required. Ensure the design fits within the 1320 LE limit and utilizes the 3.3 V supply domain. Verify that the TQFP-144 package footprint meets PCB layout constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The EPF6016ATC144-1 is part of the Altera FLEX 6000 programmable logic device family. This series was designed to offer fast design changes during prototyping and allows for in-circuit reconfiguration. It serves as a bridge between fixed logic and more complex FPGA architectures.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same density are limited due to the discontinued nature of the FLEX 6000 family. Modern equivalents such as Cyclone or Agilex series require significant schematic and software redesign.
