EPF6024AQI208-3

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The Altera EPF6024AQI208-3 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the FLEX 6000 family. It utilizes the OptiFLEX architecture, featuring 196 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) and 1,960 Logic Elements (LEs). The device provides up to 218 I/O pins and operates at a core supply voltage of 3.3 V. It supports In-Circuit Reconfigurability (ICR), MultiVolt I/O interface operation, and includes built-in JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990. The component is housed in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• OptiFLEX architecture with 1,960 LEs and 196 LABs for high-density logic implementation
• Supports In-Circuit Reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration devices or intelligent controllers
• MultiVolt I/O interface allows bridging between systems operating at different voltages
• Built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (BST) circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Prototyping and design testing requiring fast design changes
• PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 compliant peripheral designs
• Systems requiring low-power standby modes with typical consumption less than 0.5 mA

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'I' against official documentation to confirm temperature range and commercial grade specifications. Confirm package type matches the 208-pin PQFP requirement. Check current availability status as legacy components may have limited supply chains.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 1,960 LEs and up to 218 I/Os are required within a 208-pin footprint. Ensure the design leverages the FastTrack Interconnect for predictable delays. Verify that the 3.3 V core voltage aligns with system power requirements and that ICR capabilities are utilized if dynamic reconfiguration is needed.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component is part of the Altera FLEX 6000 programmable logic device family. The family offers a low-cost alternative to high-volume gate array applications. The OptiFLEX architecture minimizes die size while maintaining high performance and routability through continuous routing structures.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible alternatives within the same FLEX 6000 family, such as the EPF6016AQC208-3, which shares the 208-pin PQFP package but offers lower logic density.
