EPF6024ATC144-10 Présentation

The Altera EPF6024ATC144-10 is a member of the FLEX 6000 family of SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), delivering 24,000 typical gates (equivalent logic density) in a 144-pin LQFP (Low-Profile Quad Flat Pack) package with a -10 speed grade. The device integrates 1,960 logic elements distributed across 196 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) and provides 117 user I/O pins, suiting it for glue-logic, bus-interface, and small control-plane designs in industrial, telecom, and embedded systems.

What is an FPGA? A Field-Programmable Gate Array is a semiconductor IC containing an array of programmable logic blocks, interconnect resources, and configurable I/O cells that engineers can program after manufacture to implement custom digital circuits. The FLEX 6000 family sits in Altera's classic hierarchy of programmable-logic devices (PLD -> CPLD -> FPGA -> SRAM-based FPGA), with the FLEX 6000 line positioned as a low-cost, low-density alternative to higher-end FLEX 10K and APEX families. The EPF6024ATC144-10 uses SRAM configuration memory, which means the bitstream must be loaded from an external ROM or microcontroller at every power-up.

Key features of the EPF6024ATC144-10 include 24,000 typical gates, 1,960 logic elements, 117 maximum user I/O pins, JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan support, and on-chip SRAM-based configuration memory. The -10 speed grade indicates a slower bin than the -3 speed grade, providing a cost-effective option for designs that do not require the highest toggle rates. The device supports multiple I/O standards including 3.3V LVTTL/LVCMOS and is well-suited to bus bridges, peripheral controllers, and ASIC prototyping.

The EPF6024ATC144-10 is fabricated in a mature CMOS process and is supplied in a 144-pin LQFP (Low-Profile Quad Flat Pack, 20 mm x 20 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch) package for surface-mount assembly. Because the part is SRAM-based, designers must include a configuration memory (such as an EPC2 or EPC8 configuration device, or a microcontroller) on the board to load the bitstream at power-up.

Typical applications for this device include legacy industrial-control interfaces, telecom line-card glue logic, custom peripheral controllers, retro-style ASIC prototyping, and educational/development platforms. Because the FLEX 6000 family is now legacy/obsolete, it is commonly found in older equipment still in service rather than in new greenfield designs.

When designing with the EPF6024ATC144-10, note that the FLEX 6000 family has been superseded by Cyclone and Cyclone II FPGAs from Altera (now Intel PSG). For new designs, the Cyclone series offers higher logic density, lower cost per gate, and lower power. For maintenance of legacy systems, the EPF6024ATC144-10 may still be sourced through franchised distributors stocking remaining inventory.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, same-package drop-in alternatives from the FLEX 6000 family, and practical design notes not consolidated in any single manufacturer datasheet.

Applications typiques

EPF6024ATC144-10 convient pour 6 applications: Legacy Industrial Glue Logic, Telecom Line-Card Interface Logic, Retro ASIC Prototyping Platform, Custom Peripheral Controller, Test & Measurement Front-End Logic, Legacy Avionics Bus Interface (Maintenance).

🏭

Legacy Industrial Glue Logic

The EPF6024ATC144-10 fits legacy industrial glue-logic designs where a low-density SRAM FPGA is acceptable and where board redesign is not feasible. Its 1,960 logic elements, 117 user I/O pins, and 3.3V LVTTL/LVCMOS support cover typical bus-bridge, address-decoding, and custom peripheral-controller tasks. The 144-LQFP package is easy to hand-prototype and re-work, which suits maintenance work on older industrial controllers. Engineers select this device when modernizing only specific functions inside a legacy system that retains the original FLEX 6000 footprint. The bitstream is loaded at power-up via EPC2/EPC8 configuration ROM, preserving the original system architecture.

🌐

Telecom Line-Card Interface Logic

The EPF6024ATC144-10 fits telecom line-card interface designs that require custom framing, E1/T1 glue, or proprietary protocol conversion. Its 117 user I/O pins can support parallel backplane interfaces and multiple serial channels, while its SRAM-based configuration allows field re-programmability for protocol updates. Telecom line cards often carry FPGAs as auxiliary logic alongside the main processor, and the EPF6024ATC144-10 has historically been used in legacy TDM/PDH equipment. For new line-card designs, Cyclone IV or Cyclone V FPGAs are recommended instead, but for maintaining installed bases the EPF6024ATC144-10 remains a valid choice.

🖥️

Retro ASIC Prototyping Platform

The EPF6024ATC144-10 fits retro ASIC prototyping platforms where engineers emulate an older ASIC die using a programmable fabric. Its 1,960 logic elements support medium-scale RTL designs, and the JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) interface simplifies on-board debug. Educational institutions and hobbyists continue to use the EPF6024ATC144-10 in FPGA development kits (legacy Altera Nios development boards, university curricula). For new prototype work, the Cyclone series is preferred, but the EPF6024ATC144-10 remains available for legacy kit maintenance and educational use.

🔧

Custom Peripheral Controller

The EPF6024ATC144-10 fits custom peripheral controller designs where a microcontroller alone cannot meet timing or I/O requirements. Its 117 user I/O pins can drive multiple buses, custom peripherals, and external memory interfaces concurrently. Designers can implement timers, DMA controllers, and protocol engines that augment a host CPU. The SRAM-based configuration allows in-system firmware updates, useful for evolving interface standards. The 144-LQFP package offers ample signal margin for hand-routed prototypes and small-volume production runs.

🧪

Test & Measurement Front-End Logic

The EPF6024ATC144-10 fits test & measurement front-end logic where custom timing generators, pulse shapers, or data-acquisition pre-processors are needed. Its 1,960 logic elements can implement state machines and timing logic for test instrumentation, while its 3.3V I/O is compatible with standard logic analyzers and bench equipment. The JTAG interface simplifies bench debug. For new T&M products, Cyclone series FPGAs are recommended, but legacy test equipment in service often retains FLEX 6000 family designs for long-term calibration stability.

✈️

Legacy Avionics Bus Interface (Maintenance)

The EPF6024ATC144-10 fits legacy avionics bus-interface applications where the airframe platform has a long service life and original equipment uses FLEX 6000 family devices. Such platforms often require form-fit-function replacements during scheduled maintenance. The 144-LQFP package and FLEX 6000 architecture allow qualified drop-in alternatives within the same family (EPF6024ATC144-3N, EPF6024ATC144-2N). For new avionics designs, RTCA DO-254 compliance and radiation tolerance typically drive selection toward modern radiation-hardened FPGAs (Microsemi/RT ProASIC3, Xilinx Virtex-5QV).

What is the EPF6024ATC144-10?
The EPF6024ATC144-10 is a member of Altera's FLEX 6000 SRAM-based FPGA family. It contains 1,960 logic elements, 196 LABs, and 117 user I/O pins in a 144-LQFP package with a -10 speed grade. According to Altera FLEX 6000 family datasheets, it targets low-density, low-cost programmable-logic designs with 24,000 typical gates.
Where can I buy the EPF6024ATC144-10?
The EPF6024ATC144-10 is available from franchised and independent distributors listed on Octopart and DigiKey, including Nantian, Jotrin, IC-Components, and Kynix. Because the FLEX 6000 family is legacy/obsolete, expect smaller stock allocations than for current-generation FPGAs. Always request a quote and confirm lead time, as the part is no longer in volume production by Altera/Intel PSG.
What is the price of the EPF6024ATC144-10 as of 2026-09-12?
Pricing as of 2026-09-12 indicates unit pricing around USD 18.50 at qty 1, scaling to roughly USD 11.10 at qty 1,000 (Octopart, distributor aggregated). Legacy FPGAs typically have higher unit prices than current-generation equivalents because they are sold from remaining inventory and broker channels. Always re-confirm with the distributor before placing a production order.
What is the lead time for the EPF6024ATC144-10?
Lead time for the EPF6024ATC144-10 depends on distributor stock at the time of quote. As a legacy FLEX 6000 family device (no longer in volume production), typical lead times range from immediate (in-stock at franchised distributors) to 8-16 weeks when sourced from broker inventory. Confirm exact lead time on the quote line, and consider sourcing from multiple distributors to mitigate allocation risk.
Is the EPF6024ATC144-10 in stock?
Stock for the EPF6024ATC144-10 fluctuates because the part is in legacy/obsolete status. Octopart aggregates live distributor inventory from sources like DigiKey, Mouser, Nantian, and IC-Components, but availability changes frequently. For production use, request a quote and confirm RoHS and date-code compliance before accepting parts.
EPF6024ATC144-10 vs EPF6024ATC144-3N - which is better for a new design?
EPF6024ATC144-10 is the slower -10 speed grade, while EPF6024ATC144-3N is the faster -3 speed grade. Both share the same 144-LQFP package, 1,960 logic elements, and 117 user I/O pins. Choose -3N for higher toggle rates or tighter timing margins; choose -10 for cost-sensitive designs where timing closure is easy. For any new design, however, Cyclone/Cyclone II is recommended over FLEX 6000.
EPF6024ATC144-10 vs Cyclone EP1C3 - which should I choose?
The Cyclone EP1C3 is recommended over the EPF6024ATC144-10 for new designs. The EP1C3 has 2,910 logic elements, 104 user I/O pins, and is in active production. The EPF6024ATC144-10 is a legacy part with smaller density (1,960 LEs) and is obsolete. Choose EP1C3 for new designs unless you must maintain exact board compatibility with legacy FLEX 6000 systems.
When should I choose the EPF6024ATC144-10 over EPF6016ATC144-3?
Choose the EPF6024ATC144-10 when you need higher logic density (24,000 typical gates vs 16,000) and the same 144-LQFP package as EPF6016ATC144-3. Both are FLEX 6000 family devices with identical pinouts in 144-LQFP. The EPF6024ATC144-10 offers 1,960 LEs vs 1,320 LEs, plus 117 vs 117 user I/O pins (per FLEX 6000 family datasheet). For legacy maintenance, both remain drop-in compatible at the PCB level.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the EPF6024ATC144-10?
The best drop-in replacement is the EPF6024ATC144-3N (faster -3 speed grade, same 144-LQFP package, identical 1,960 LEs). The EPF6024ATC144-3N is pin-to-pin compatible and offers higher performance, making it suitable when the only change is upgrading the speed grade. Both devices share the same FLEX 6000 architecture, bitstream format, and configuration memory (EPC2/EPC8) requirements.
Where to download the EPF6024ATC144-10 datasheet PDF?
The Altera FLEX 6000 family datasheet PDF is available from Altera (now Intel PSG) at https://www.altera.com/literature/ds/dsf6000.pdf. Because the FLEX 6000 family is legacy, Altera/Intel also archives the datasheet in the Intel FPGA documentation library. Third-party distributors such as FPGAkey and Jotrin may also host a copy; verify the document is the latest revision before relying on it.
Where to find the EPF6024ATC144-10 pinout?
The 144-LQFP pinout is documented in the Altera FLEX 6000 family datasheet and pin-out tables. The package is a 144-LQFP with 0.5 mm pitch and 20 mm x 20 mm body. For detailed pin descriptions, refer to the FLEX 6000 datasheet (Table 1 / Pin Information section). Pin names follow Altera's FLEX 6000 standard: I/O banks A-D, dedicated JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO), configuration pins (nCE, nCONFIG, CONF_DONE, nSTATUS, DCLK), and global clock/clear pins.
What are the key specifications of the EPF6024ATC144-10 that engineers should know?
The EPF6024ATC144-10 has 24,000 typical gates, 1,960 logic elements, 196 LABs, 117 maximum user I/O pins, JTAG boundary-scan support, and SRAM configuration memory. It operates from a 3.3V supply, supports LVTTL/LVCMOS I/O, and is supplied in a 144-LQFP package (0.5 mm pitch). The -10 speed grade indicates the slower timing bin. Per the FLEX 6000 family datasheet, it is pin-compatible with -3 speed grade variants.
What Xilinx or Lattice equivalent exists for the EPF6024ATC144-10?
There is no pin-to-pin Xilinx or Lattice cross-vendor equivalent for the EPF6024ATC144-10, because FLEX 6000 is an Altera-proprietary family with unique configuration pins, JTAG pin ordering, and bitstream format. The closest Xilinx equivalents in logic density are XC9500XL CPLDs (smaller) or Spartan-II/-3 FPGAs (different package and pinout). A cross-brand substitution requires PCB redesign - this is NOT a drop-in replacement.
Does the EPF6024ATC144-10 require an external configuration ROM?
Yes, the EPF6024ATC144-10 requires an external configuration ROM because the FLEX 6000 family is SRAM-based. Common companion configuration devices are Altera EPC2, EPC4, EPC8, or EPC16 (with the larger EPCx parts supporting multi-device bitstreams). Configuration is performed via the FLEX 6000 dedicated pins (DCLK, nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE) in FPP or PS mode at every power-up. JTAG programming is also supported via the standard JTAG pins.
What is the difference between EPF6024ATC144-10 and EPF6024AQC240-3?
EPF6024ATC144-10 and EPF6024AQC240-3 are both FLEX 6000 family devices with 1,960 LEs but use different packages: 144-LQFP (T) versus 240-pin PQFP (Q). The Q-package offers more user I/O pins but is not pin-compatible with the T-package. If your PCB is laid out for the 144-LQFP, the EPF6024ATC144-10 and its 144-LQFP drop-in variants (EPF6024ATC144-3N, EPF6024ATC144-2N, etc.) are the only true drop-in replacements.
Is the EPF6024ATC144-10 suitable for new product designs in 2026?
The EPF6024ATC144-10 is NOT recommended for new product designs in 2026. The FLEX 6000 family is legacy/obsolete and is no longer in volume production by Altera/Intel PSG. For new designs, use the Cyclone, Cyclone II, MAX II CPLD, or Lattice ispMACH 4000ZE families, which offer lower cost, lower power, and higher logic density. Use the EPF6024ATC144-10 only for maintenance of legacy equipment that already has a FLEX 6000 footprint on the board.
What is the best Altera equivalent for the EPF6024ATC144-10 for maintenance?
For maintenance of legacy systems, the best Altera equivalent for the EPF6024ATC144-10 is the EPF6024ATC144-3N (same 144-LQFP, same 1,960 LEs, faster speed grade). Within the same FLEX 6000 family, multiple -1, -2, -3 speed grades are available in 144-LQFP. All are pin-to-pin drop-in compatible with the EPF6024ATC144-10. The same family also includes QFP and BGA package variants (EPF6024AQC240, EPF6024ABC256) that are NOT drop-in compatible due to different pinouts.

Guide de sélection

Choose the EPF6024ATC144-10 when you need to maintain or service legacy equipment that already has a FLEX 6000 family footprint in 144-LQFP, particularly when timing closure is easy and the lower-cost -10 speed grade is acceptable. For designs that cannot close timing at -10, upgrade to EPF6024ATC144-3N (faster, same package, drop-in compatible). For lower-density needs, EPF6016ATC144-3 (16K gates) is the natural family member. For any new design in 2026, do not select the EPF6024ATC144-10 - use Cyclone IV or Cyclone 10 LP instead. Cross-brand (Xilinx/Lattice) substitution is NOT possible without PCB redesign because FLEX 6000 is Altera-proprietary.

Notes de conception

The EPF6024ATC144-10 requires a stable 3.3V core supply (VCCINT) and a separate VCCIO supply per I/O bank. Place 100nF decoupling capacitors close to every VCCINT pin and one bulk 10uF tantalum or ceramic capacitor on each VCCIO rail. Because the FLEX 6000 family is SRAM-based, supply voltage must ramp monotonically; a brown-out during configuration will corrupt the bitstream. Add a power-good supervisor (e.g., MAX811 or TPS3839) to hold nCONFIG low until VCCINT stabilizes.

Common pitfalls with the EPF6024ATC144-10: (1) Forgetting the external configuration memory - FLEX 6000 FPGAs cannot boot without an EPC2/EPC8 or equivalent bitstream source. (2) Mixing 5V and 3.3V signals - the FLEX 6000 I/O is 3.3V LVTTL/LVCMOS, so a level translator is needed for any 5V bus. (3) JTAG chain conflicts when programming - ensure the TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO pins are not loaded by external buffers that could interfere with the ByteBlaster download cable.

PCB layout for the 144-LQFP package requires a 0.5 mm pitch land pattern with thermal vias under the exposed pad (if present). Route single-ended signals on the inner layers to keep the outer layers free for power and ground. Match trace lengths for clocks (CLK0-CLK3) within 1 cm to minimize skew. Place the EPC2/EPC8 configuration ROM within 5 cm of the FPGA to keep the DCLK/Data0 traces short and free of stubs.

Estimated: at 100% logic utilization with all I/O toggling at 50 MHz, the EPF6024ATC144-10 dissipates approximately 0.5-1 W. The 144-LQFP package relies on PCB copper for heat dissipation; provide at least 1 square inch of unbroken ground plane on the top layer beneath the device. For high ambient temperatures (>70C), use a copper pour on inner layers with thermal vias to spread heat.
