EPF6016ATC144-2N

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The EPF6016ATC144-2N is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the Altera FLEX 6000 family, utilizing the OptiFLEX architecture. It contains 132 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) and 1,320 Logic Elements (LEs), providing 117 I/O pins in a 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) package. The device operates at a supply voltage of 3.3 V with an industrial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. As a -2 speed grade part, it supports maximum clock frequencies up to 153 MHz for standard logic functions.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• OptiFLEX architecture with 1,320 LEs organized into 132 LABs
• FastTrack Interconnect for predictable routing delays
• Built-in JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990
• Supports In-Circuit Reconfigurability (ICR)

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Prototyping high-volume gate array designs
• PCI Local Bus Specification compliant peripheral interfaces
• Digital signal processing functions such as FIR filters and FFT

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is designated as End-of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer. Verification of authenticity is critical when sourcing from secondary markets due to discontinuation status. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by specific application standards, noting that original production may vary in environmental certification.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring 1,320 LEs and 117 I/Os within a TQFP-144 footprint. The -2 speed grade offers a balance between performance and power consumption compared to the -1 grade. Verify pin compatibility with existing PCB layouts, as the FLEX 6000 series maintains SameFrame pin compatibility across densities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

Part of the Altera FLEX 6000 programmable logic family, which introduced reconfigurable SRAM elements for rapid design iteration. This series serves as a low-cost alternative to mask-programmed gate arrays, allowing functional changes during prototyping without generating custom test vectors.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute is confirmed. Consider Intel/Altera Cyclone or Arria families for modern equivalents, though pinouts and architectures differ significantly.
