EPF6024AQC2403 Présentation

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPF6024AQC240-3 is a member of the FLEX 6000 family of SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), delivering 24,000 typical gates and 1,960 logic elements in a 240-pin Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array / Quad Flat Pack (240-BFQFP) package. The device operates at 3.3V core supply using 0.42 µm CMOS technology with a maximum internal frequency of 142.86 MHz, providing 199 user I/O pins for high-density glue-logic and bus-interface applications.

What is an FPGA? A Field-Programmable Gate Array is a programmable logic device (PLD) containing an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and I/O cells, all of which are defined after manufacture by a bitstream loaded into on-chip SRAM. FPGAs occupy the middle ground between discrete logic ICs and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), offering ASIC-like density with mask-programmable-like time-to-market. The FLEX 6000 family specifically targets high-volume, low-cost glue-logic, bus bridging, and standard gate-array replacement designs.

Key features of the EPF6024AQC240-3 include 1,960 logic elements (LEs), 24 Kbits of embedded RAM, 199 maximum user I/O pins, multi-voltage I/O support (3.3V/5V tolerant), an in-system programmability (ISP) interface via the passive serial or JTAG configuration scheme, and an industrial operating temperature range. The device implements a 4-input look-up table (LUT)-based architecture with fast-carry chains for arithmetic functions and dedicated clock networks that simplify high-speed state-machine implementation.

The EPF6024AQC240-3 architecture uses an SRAM-based configuration cell, meaning the design must be reloaded at every power-up from a serial PROM or system memory. The 0.42 µm process node provides mature, well-characterized timing closure at 3.3V core supply and supports the IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan test standard. The 240-BFQFP package (body size 32 mm x 32 mm, 0.5 mm lead pitch) is suitable for through-hole-style surface mounting on 1.0 mm-thick PCBs.

Typical applications include telecom line-card glue logic, industrial control bus bridges (PCI-to-ISA, ISA-to-PCMCIA), peripheral interface controllers (UART, I2C, SPI multiplexing), legacy system modernization, and education laboratory platforms. The 199 user I/O count accommodates designs that previously required multiple CPLDs or low-density ASICs.

When designing with this part, plan the configuration memory separately - the SRAM cells require an external EPC1/EPC2 configuration PROM or a microcontroller to load the bitstream at every power-on. Verify JTAG chain integrity on first prototypes; FLEX 6000 devices are sensitive to VCC ramp times below the 100 µs minimum specified in the datasheet.

This page consolidates distributor pricing, drop-in package alternatives from the same FLEX 6000 family, and application guidance not found in the standalone datasheet.

Applications typiques

EPF6024AQC2403 convient pour 7 applications: Telecom Line-Card Glue Logic, PCI-to-ISA Bus Bridge, Industrial Control State Machine, Peripheral Interface Multiplexer, Legacy System Modernization, FPGA Education Laboratory Platform, Display Controller / Video Sync Generator.

🌐

Telecom Line-Card Glue Logic

The EPF6024AQC240-3 is well-suited for telecom line-card glue-logic consolidation, where its 1,960 logic elements and 199 user I/Os allow designers to replace dozens of discrete 74-series TTL chips with a single programmable device. Its 3.3V core supply and 5V-tolerant I/O banks interface cleanly with legacy T1/E1 framer chips and backplane transceivers. The FLEX 6000 fast-carry chain delivers >100 MHz arithmetic for protocol-header CRC generation on the line side. Designers should pair the FPGA with an EPC2 configuration PROM for hot-swap-capable line cards requiring in-system reconfiguration.

🖥️

PCI-to-ISA Bus Bridge

The EPF6024AQC240-3's 199 user I/Os are sufficient to implement a full PCI (32-bit, 33 MHz) target interface plus a complete ISA bus master/slave interface within a single device, eliminating the need for a separate PCI controller ASIC. Its 142.86 MHz internal frequency comfortably exceeds PCI's 33 MHz spec, and the multi-voltage I/O banks cleanly bridge the 5V ISA bus to the 3.3V PCI bus. The 24 Kbits of embedded RAM double as FIFO buffers for write-posting transactions. Pin-compatibility with EPF6024AQC240-2 lets designers step up timing margin without re-laying out the PCB.

🏭

Industrial Control State Machine

Industrial controllers benefit from the EPF6024AQC240-3's combination of 1,960 LEs and 142.86 MHz Fmax, which allows designers to consolidate multiple state machines (motor sequencing, sensor debouncing, fault handlers) into one device. The 240-BFQFP package with 199 I/Os provides ample headroom for 32-bit sensor buses plus parallel encoder inputs. The SRAM-based configuration simplifies field firmware updates via JTAG, which is essential in industrial environments where downtime is costly. Designers should add external watchdog supervision since FLEX 6000 does not include a built-in watchdog block.

Peripheral Interface Multiplexer

The EPF6024AQC240-3 excels at high-channel-count UART, SPI, and I2C multiplexing for embedded systems that need to route multiple peripheral buses to a single processor. Its 199 I/Os easily support 8-16 UART channels plus chip-select expansion for SPI peripherals. The dedicated fast-carry chain handles baud-rate generation down to 50 baud without external divider chips. The 3.3V core with 5V-tolerant I/Os bridges cleanly between modern MCUs and legacy 5V peripherals, removing the need for level-shifters on every line.

🧩

Legacy System Modernization

Designers modernizing legacy 5V systems that use dozens of 74LS/74F TTL chips can use the EPF6024AQC240-3 as a one-chip replacement for the entire glue-logic cluster, preserving the existing PCB while reducing part count, inventory SKUs, and power consumption. The 199 user I/Os and 3.3V/5V-tolerant I/O banks absorb legacy bus widths without buffering. Designers can re-use the original 74-series logic symbols by importing EDIF netlists into the Quartus II design tool, then verify timing against the original worst-case propagation delays before tape-out.

🎓

FPGA Education Laboratory Platform

The EPF6024AQC240-3 is widely used in university digital-design laboratories as the target FPGA on Altera/Intel education boards because its 1,960 LEs and 199 I/Os provide enough headroom for senior-project complexity while remaining cost-effective for classroom deployment. Students learn SRAM-based configuration by manually loading bitstreams via the JTAG port, and the 240-BFQFP package is mechanically robust enough to survive repeated lab handling. Quartus II Web Edition (free) supports the device, removing per-seat licensing cost for educational institutions.

📺

Display Controller / Video Sync Generator

The EPF6024AQC240-3's 142.86 MHz Fmax and 24 Kbits of embedded RAM are sufficient to implement a low-resolution VGA / NTSC sync generator for kiosks, instrumentation displays, and legacy industrial HMIs. Its 199 I/Os drive 24-bit color LCD panels directly without an external frame-buffer ASIC. The SRAM-based configuration lets designers swap resolution tables by reloading bitstreams from a microcontroller, supporting multi-mode displays (VGA + NTSC) on a single hardware platform.

What is the logic capacity of the EPF6024AQC240-3?
The EPF6024AQC240-3 contains 1,960 logic elements (LEs) and is rated for 24,000 typical gates, according to the FLEX 6000 datasheet. This makes it suitable for medium-density glue-logic, bus-interface bridging, and state-machine consolidation designs that previously required multiple CPLDs. Each LE is built around a 4-input look-up table (LUT) with a fast-carry chain for arithmetic operations.
How many user I/O pins does the EPF6024AQC240-3 provide?
The EPF6024AQC240-3 offers up to 199 user I/O pins in the 240-BFQFP package. Three of the 240 package pins are reserved for VCC, GND, and dedicated configuration signals (nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE), leaving 199 general-purpose I/Os that support 3.3V LVTTL/LVCMOS with multi-voltage (5V-tolerant) interfacing on selected banks per the FLEX 6000 datasheet.
What is the maximum operating frequency of the EPF6024AQC240-3?
The EPF6024AQC240-3 supports a maximum internal frequency of 142.86 MHz in the -3 speed grade per the FLEX 6000 datasheet. Real-world toggle rates depend on routing and fan-out; conservative designs typically run at 80-100 MHz for state machines and 60 MHz for 16-bit counters using the dedicated fast-carry chain.
Does the EPF6024AQC240-3 require an external configuration PROM?
Yes, the EPF6024AQC240-3 uses SRAM-based configuration cells which are volatile, so it must be reconfigured at every power-up using an external EPC1, EPC2, or EPC4 serial configuration PROM, or via a microcontroller that emulates the passive-serial configuration protocol per the FLEX 6000 handbook.
Is the EPF6024AQC240-3 RoHS compliant?
No, the EPF6024AQC240-3 is NOT RoHS compliant per the distributor listings - it contains lead as part of its 240-BFQFP package finish. For RoHS-compliant designs requiring the same FLEX 6000 family logic capacity, consider migrating to the EPF6024AFC256 package variant or to a newer Cyclone-series device per Intel's product migration guide.
What is the difference between EPF6024AQC240-3 and EPF6024AQC240-2?
The EPF6024AQC240-3 is the mid-tier speed grade, while the EPF6024AQC240-2 is a faster speed grade with improved Fmax timing margins. Both share the identical 240-BFQFP package, 1,960 LEs, 199 user I/Os, and 3.3V core supply, making them fully pin-compatible drop-in replacements - choose -2 for higher throughput, -3 for cost optimization.
What is the difference between EPF6024AQC240-3 and EPF6024AQC240-4?
The EPF6024AQC240-4 is a slower speed grade than the EPF6024AQC240-3, with reduced Fmax but typically lower pricing. Both share the identical 240-BFQFP package footprint and silicon, making them fully pin-compatible. Choose -3 for balanced cost/performance, or -4 when the design meets timing at the slower grade to save cost.
Where can I buy the EPF6024AQC240-3 today?

Notes de conception

Estimated: the EPF6024AQC240-3 core ICC (VCCINT = 3.3V) is typically 50-200 mA depending on toggle rate and utilization. For a fully utilized 1,960-LE design switching at 100 MHz on 50% of signals, ICC_INT is approximately 200 mA per the FLEX 6000 datasheet ICC vs. frequency curves. The I/O banks (VCCIO1-4) draw additional current proportional to output loading and switching frequency - budget an extra 50-100 mA per bank at 100 MHz with 50 pF loads. Add 100 nF decoupling per VCC pin and a single 47 uF bulk capacitor within 25 mm of the package.

The FLEX 6000 SRAM configuration is volatile - the device loses its bitstream on every power-down and must be reloaded by an external EPC1, EPC2, or EPC4 serial configuration PROM at every power-up. Without the PROM, the FPGA will not function. The CONF_DONE pin will stay low if configuration fails. Verify the configuration clock (DCLK) frequency does not exceed the maximum specified in the FLEX 6000 datasheet - typically 33 MHz in passive-serial mode.

Estimated: at maximum core current (200 mA at 3.3 V), the EPF6024AQC240-3 dissipates approximately 0.66 W internally plus I/O switching losses. The 240-BFQFP package has a typical theta_JA of approximately 25-30 C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC test board with 0.5 m/s airflow. Junction temperature rise is roughly 17-20 C above ambient, which keeps Tj well below the 125 C limit. For high-utilization industrial designs at 70 C ambient, verify with a thermal probe on the top-side package surface during worst-case utilization.
