• FastTrack Interconnect for predictable routing delays
• Dedicated carry and cascade chains for high-speed arithmetic
• Supports MultiVolt I/O interface operation

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Prototyping and design testing for gate array applications
• PCI Local Bus Specification compliant peripheral designs
• High-speed arithmetic functions such as counters and adders

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix, as the provided datasheet details the EPF6024AQC208-3 but the model query specifies -1. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity levels prior to procurement. Check for end-of-life notifications or discontinuance notices associated with this legacy product line.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select the -1 speed grade for designs requiring a maximum frequency of 172 MHz. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 208-pin PQFP footprint. Verify that the design toolchain supports the FLEX 6000 family, as modern Quartus Prime software may have limited support for these older devices.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera FLEX 6000 programmable logic device family, introduced as a low-cost alternative to high-volume gate arrays. The family utilizes SRAM-based technology allowing for reconfiguration during operation via in-circuit reconfigurability (ICR).

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations
