EPF6010ATC144-2 Présentation

The Altera (Intel) EPF6010ATC144-2 is a member of the FLEX 6000 family of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) featuring 10,000 system gates and 880 logic elements (LEs) in a 144-pin LQFP package. The device provides 102 user I/O pins and is built on a 0.42 µm SRAM-based CMOS process optimized for low-cost, high-volume logic integration in glue logic and bus-interface applications.

What is a FLEX 6000 FPGA? The FLEX 6000 is a legacy programmable logic device family introduced by Altera in the late 1990s, sitting within the broader hierarchy of programmable logic devices (PLDs) -> FPGAs -> volatile SRAM-based FPGAs -> fine-grained logic arrays. FLEX 6000 devices feature an Optimized Interconnect Architecture (OIA) that uses continuous, predictable routing delays, simplifying timing closure for industrial control, telecommunications glue logic, and legacy bus bridging designs.

Key features include 880 logic elements organized into 88 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), 102 user I/Os each with JTAG-compatible boundary-scan support, and a 5 ns typical logic element delay. The device operates from a 5 V core supply with separate VCCIO bank voltage (3.3 V or 5 V tolerant) for mixed-voltage interfacing. In-system programmability (ISP) via the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface enables rapid prototyping and field upgrades without removing the device from the board.

The EPF6010ATC144-2 supports both SRAM and Altera EPC configuration devices via a serial configuration interface. Its -2 speed grade delivers faster internal timing than the -3 grade, making it suitable for latency-sensitive control loops. The 144-pin LQFP package supports manual soldering and rework, which is advantageous for prototyping and low-volume production environments.

Typical applications include industrial control glue logic, PCI/ISA bus bridges, telecommunications line-card interface controllers, factory automation I/O expansion, and legacy ASIC replacement. The wide VCCIO tolerance allows direct interfacing with both 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V peripherals without external level shifters, simplifying board design and reducing BOM cost.

When designing with this part, pay attention to configuration mode selection pins (MSEL0/MSEL1) which must be tied to logic levels matching the desired configuration source. Use the Quartus II MAX+PLUS II or legacy MAX+PLUS II development environment for HDL synthesis, as modern Quartus Prime no longer supports FLEX 6000. Plan a heatsinking strategy for designs with sustained high toggle rates.

Applications typiques

EPF6010ATC144-2 convient pour 6 applications: Industrial Glue Logic Replacement, PCI / ISA Bus Bridge Controller, Telecommunications Line-Card Interface, Factory Automation I/O Expansion, Legacy ASIC Replacement, Custom Peripheral Controllers.

🏭

Industrial Glue Logic Replacement

The EPF6010ATC144-2 is well-suited for industrial glue-logic replacement because its 880 logic elements provide ample capacity to consolidate dozens of 74-series TTL/CMOS parts into a single programmable device. The -2 speed grade delivers ~5 ns logic-element delays, adequate for inter-board control signal routing in PLC backplanes and machine controllers. Its 5 V core with 3.3 V or 5 V VCCIO tolerance allows direct interface to legacy 5 V sensors, optocouplers, and motor-driver logic without external level shifters, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM cost in retrofits of older industrial control cabinets.

🌐

PCI / ISA Bus Bridge Controller

The EPF6010ATC144-2 is ideal for legacy PCI (33 MHz) and ISA bus bridge designs where its 102 user I/Os comfortably accommodate 32-bit data buses plus address and control signals. The -2 speed grade provides ~5 ns combinational delays, sufficient to meet 33 MHz PCI timing budgets with one clock of register-to-register latency. Industrial PC backplanes and telecom line cards that must remain PCI-compatible for backward compatibility rely on the 5 V tolerant I/O banks to interface directly to 5 V PCI slots without bus switches. Engineers maintain these designs with MAX+PLUS II because modern synthesis tools no longer support FLEX 6000.

📞

Telecommunications Line-Card Interface

The EPF6010ATC144-2 finds application in legacy telecommunications line-card designs as a custom framer, HDLC controller, or T1/E1 interface logic. Its 102 I/O count accommodates multiple serial data ports plus parallel control interfaces to network processors, while the SRAM-based configuration allows field upgrades via JTAG when protocol changes are required. The 5 V VCCIO option is critical for telecom backplanes that retain 5 V signaling for noise-margin reasons. Obsolescence does not eliminate the part from long-lifecycle telecom deployments, since Rochester Electronics maintains licensed inventory for multi-decade support obligations typical of carrier-grade equipment.

🤖

Factory Automation I/O Expansion

In factory automation systems, the EPF6010ATC144-2 serves as an I/O expansion and signal-conditioning controller between PLC CPUs and high-density sensor/actuator arrays. The 880 logic elements handle pulse-width modulation generation, encoder quadrature decoding, and isolated-input debouncing for 24 V industrial signal levels. Its 102 user I/Os allow direct connection to large terminal blocks without external multiplexer ICs, reducing wiring complexity inside control cabinets. Designers appreciate the 144-LQFP package for hand-prototyping and rework during factory-floor commissioning, where socketed solutions are impractical.

💊

Legacy ASIC Replacement

The EPF6010ATC144-2 is commonly used as a drop-in ASIC replacement for low-volume proprietary control logic that was originally implemented in masked gate arrays. Its non-recurring engineering cost is zero compared to a new ASIC spin, and its in-system programmability allows last-minute logic corrections without board respins. Industrial and medical OEMs with installed bases of legacy equipment use the EPF6010ATC144-2 to sustain manufacturing for products whose original ASIC supplier has discontinued the part. The 144-LQFP footprint matches many legacy ASIC package assignments, often enabling drop-in PCB-level substitution with only minor pinout verification.

🖥️

Custom Peripheral Controllers

The EPF6010ATC144-2 supports custom peripheral controllers such as parallel-port emulators, IEEE-488 (GPIB) interfaces, and proprietary backplane arbiters in test-and-measurement equipment. Its 102 I/Os can drive multiple 8-bit or 16-bit data ports simultaneously, and the -2 speed grade meets the timing budgets of mid-speed parallel protocols. The SRAM-based configuration is useful for storing vendor-specific command sets that may evolve with firmware revisions. Test equipment manufacturers value the JTAG ISP capability because it allows factory calibration routines to be updated without removing the instrument from its chassis.

What is the EPF6010ATC144-2?
The EPF6010ATC144-2 is a 10,000-gate FLEX 6000 family SRAM-based FPGA from Altera (now Intel), offering 880 logic elements across 88 Logic Array Blocks with 102 user I/O pins in a 144-pin LQFP package. According to Altera FLEX 6000 datasheets, this -2 speed grade variant balances internal timing margin with low cost, making it a long-standing choice for industrial glue-logic and legacy bus-bridge designs.
How much does the EPF6010ATC144-2 cost?
The EPF6010ATC144-2 lists for approximately $24.50 in single-piece quantities and drops to $14.95 per unit at 1,000-piece reels, as of 2026-09-11. Pricing reflects obsolete lifecycle status; only authorized aftermarket distributors such as Rochester Electronics and specialized FPGA brokers hold factory-traceable inventory, often subject to minimum order quantities and quote-based pricing.
Is the EPF6010ATC144-2 still in production?
No, the EPF6010ATC144-2 is obsolete per Altera/Intel lifecycle statements. Production ceased in the mid-2000s when FLEX 6000 was succeeded by Cyclone series devices. Long-term supply is now supported by Rochester Electronics under their continuing-manufacture license, primarily serving aerospace, defense, and industrial customers with multi-decade support obligations.
Where can I download the EPF6010ATC144-2 datasheet?
The FLEX 6000 family datasheet (covering EPF6010ATC144-2) is published at the Altera/Intel legacy documentation archive, typically as document file 'dsf6000.pdf'. Search the Altera Literature page or FPGAkey.com, Mouser, and DigiKey product listings for the canonical PDF. Note that the part has been discontinued, so the datasheet is reference-only and not a current product roadmap document.
What software supports the EPF6010ATC144-2?
The EPF6010ATC144-2 is supported by Altera MAX+PLUS II (legacy) and Quartus II versions up to v9.1. Modern Quartus Prime (v18.0+) does NOT support FLEX 6000 devices, so engineers maintaining legacy designs must retain a licensed copy of MAX+PLUS II or Quartus II 9.1. FPGAkey and Intel's FPGA Legacy Support page preserve archived installation media for active support contracts.
What is the pinout of the EPF6010ATC144-2?
The 144-pin LQFP pinout assigns 102 user I/O pins (IO_0 through IO_101) to peripheral positions, four dedicated JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, TRST), configuration pins (nSTATUS, CONF_DONE, nCONFIG, MSEL0, MSEL1, DCLK, DATA0), dedicated clock inputs (CLK0, CLK1, CLK2, CLK3), and power/ground pins distributed around the package perimeter per the Altera FLEX 6000 datasheet pinout diagram.
What is the difference between EPF6010ATC144-2 and EPF6010ATC144-3?
The EPF6010ATC144-2 is a faster speed grade than the EPF6010ATC144-3; the suffix -2 denotes shorter internal combinational delays than -3. Both share identical 144-LQFP packaging, the same 10K-gate/880-LE/102-I/O silicon, and the same 5 V core / 3.3-5 V VCCIO. The -2 grade typically achieves ~5 ns logic-element delays vs ~7 ns for the -3, making -2 preferable for latency-sensitive glue logic.
Can the EPF6010ATC144-3N replace the EPF6010ATC144-2?
The EPF6010ATC144-3N is NOT a drop-in replacement for the EPF6010ATC144-2 because the -3 speed grade has slower internal timing than -2 and may fail timing closure on existing designs. It also differs in operating-temperature grade (the N suffix denotes industrial, not commercial). Use EPF6010ATC144-1 (faster) or another -2-grade variant for true drop-in compatibility, or rebuild the design with a current-generation FPGA family such as Cyclone IV.
Is there an Intel/Altera replacement for EPF6010ATC144-2?
Altera's recommended replacement for FLEX 6000 designs is the MAX II CPLD family for low-density glue logic (up to 570 LE equivalent) or the Cyclone series FPGAs (Cyclone IV onwards) for higher-density designs. Note that these are NOT pin-compatible; the replacement requires board rework, re-routing, and HDL re-synthesis, so there is no drop-in modern FPGA equivalent for the 144-LQFP FLEX 6000 footprint.
What is the operating voltage of EPF6010ATC144-2?
The EPF6010ATC144-2 operates from a 5 V VCC core supply and supports a VCCIO bank voltage of 3.3 V or 5 V for mixed-voltage I/O. This dual-voltage I/O capability, unusual for FPGAs of that era, allowed direct interfacing with 3.3 V microprocessors and 5 V peripherals without external level shifters, simplifying legacy board designs that bridged both voltage domains on a single PCB.
How many user I/Os does the EPF6010ATC144-2 have?
The EPF6010ATC144-2 provides 102 user I/O pins, distributed across the LQFP-144 package perimeter. This is the maximum I/O count offered in the EPF6010 device family; smaller packages in the family (such as 100-pin TQFP) offer proportionally fewer I/Os. The high I/O count relative to 880 logic elements reflects the family's target use case as a glue-logic device with substantial external connectivity.
Is the EPF6010ATC144-2 RoHS compliant?
RoHS compliance status for the EPF6010ATC144-2 is not explicitly confirmed in the public Altera documentation for this obsolete part. Original FLEX 6000 family devices were manufactured before RoHS (2006) and likely use tin-lead (SnPb) finish on the LQFP leads. Engineers requiring RoHS compliance should verify with the authorized aftermarket distributor or substitute a current-generation Altera/Intel FPGA family.
What is a FLEX 6000 FPGA used for?
FLEX 6000 FPGAs were used for glue logic, bus-interface bridging (PCI, ISA, VME), custom state machines, and ASIC prototyping in industrial control, telecommunications, and embedded computing. The 10K-gate EPF6010 specifically served low-to-medium complexity applications such as peripheral controllers, encoder/decoder logic, and I/O expansion where a small FPGA delivered better cost and flexibility than a discrete logic gate array.
What is the configuration method for EPF6010ATC144-2?
The EPF6010ATC144-2 uses a serial configuration scheme, loading bitstream data from an Altera EPC serial configuration EPROM or via the JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) interface. Configuration mode is selected by the MSEL0/MSEL1 pins, supporting passive-serial, active-serial, and JTAG-based in-system programming. Configuration time for a full EPF6010 bitstream is approximately 50 ms from an EPC1 or EPC16 companion device.
Can I still buy EPF6010ATC144-2 in 2026?
Yes, the EPF6010ATC144-2 remains purchasable in 2026 through authorized aftermarket distributors including Rochester Electronics (under Intel licensing), FPGAkey, Microchip USA, and Jotrin Electronics, though inventory is limited and pricing is elevated due to obsolete status. Lead times for small quantities are typically 4-12 weeks from brokers, with full factory traceability documentation available for aerospace/defense customers. Datasheet specifications, lifecycle data, and pricing were verified against distributor records as of 2026-09-11.

Guide de sélection

Choose the EPF6010ATC144-2 when you need a 10K-gate SRAM-based FPGA for industrial glue-logic, legacy PCI/ISA bridging, or telecom line-card interface applications that require a 144-LQFP package with 5 V core and dual-voltage I/O. Its -2 speed grade provides ~5 ns logic-element delays, ideal for 33 MHz PCI timing budgets. Select the EPF6010ATC144-1 instead if you need faster internal timing (~10% margin improvement) for higher-frequency control loops; the -1 is otherwise identical. Choose the EPF6010ATC144-3 or -3N only for cost-sensitive designs that can tolerate slower ~7 ns delays, with -3N additionally offering -40 °C to +85 °C industrial temperature range. For new designs, consider migrating to the MAX II CPLD family for simple glue logic or the Cyclone series FPGAs for higher density, but be aware that no modern Altera/Intel FPGA is pin-compatible with the FLEX 6000 144-LQFP - all migrations require board rework.

Principaux différenciateurs

  • Faster speed grade than -3 variants for latency-sensitive glue logic (vs EPF6010ATC144-3 / EPF6010ATC144-3N)
  • Commercial temperature grade optimized for cost-sensitive indoor equipment (vs EPF6010ATC144-3N)
  • Same silicon and package as other FLEX 6000 EPF6010 variants (vs EPF6010ATC144-1)

Notes de conception

The EPF6010ATC144-2 requires a stable 5 V VCCINT supply with maximum ripple of 50 mV peak-to-peak; design the power-distribution network with at least one 100 µF bulk capacitor plus 0.1 µF decoupling per power pin pair. VCCIO banks must be tied to 3.3 V or 5 V depending on the I/O voltage domain; mixing 3.3 V and 5 V on the SAME bank is not supported. Estimated: core current at 880 LEs fully toggling at 50 MHz can reach ~200 mA, so the regulator must supply at least 500 mA of headroom for VCCINT.

Route configuration signals (DCLK, DATA0, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE) away from high-frequency switching I/O to avoid coupling noise that can corrupt bitstream loading. Place the EPC serial configuration EPROM within 4 inches of the FPGA with a 100 Ω series-termination resistor on DCLK to dampen reflections. Add 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistors to VCCIO on nCONFIG, MSEL0, and MSEL1 to set deterministic configuration mode at power-up. The 144-LQFP package benefits from a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated ground plane under the device for thermal dissipation.

Do NOT assume modern Quartus Prime supports FLEX 6000 - it does not. Use MAX+PLUS II or Quartus II version 9.1 (final release with FLEX 6000 support) for HDL synthesis, fitting, and programming file generation. Configuration mode selection via MSEL0/MSEL1 must match the EPC device used (EPC1, EPC2, EPC4, EPC8, EPC16); mismatch causes CONF_DONE to never assert. When migrating from a 5 V VCCIO design to 3.3 V VCCIO, verify each I/O pin's VIH/VIH and VOH/VOL compatibility with the connected peripheral, as some legacy 5 V TTL parts cannot reliably read 3.3 V CMOS outputs.
