EPF6024ATC144-1N Présentation
An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a programmable logic device containing an array of configurable logic blocks, programmable interconnects, and I/O cells that the user can define after manufacture via a configuration bitstream. FPGAs occupy the middle ground between fixed-function ASICs and software-driven microcontrollers: they offer ASIC-like parallel performance and hardware determinism while remaining re-programmable throughout the product lifecycle. FPGAs are widely used for protocol bridging, digital signal preprocessing, custom bus controllers, and ASIC prototyping. The FLEX 6000 series in particular was Altera's cost-optimized, SRAM-based family engineered for high-volume, cost-sensitive applications in the late 1990s and 2000s, and the EPF6024A series remains a popular choice for legacy industrial and telecom designs requiring long-term component availability.
Key features of the EPF6024ATC144-1N include a 3.3V core and I/O supply, 117 general-purpose I/O pins, on-chip SRAM configuration memory, JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan test support, and dedicated clock management with global and fast regional networks. The TQFP-144 package (JEDEC MS-026 designation) provides a 1.0 mm lead pitch and is rated for surface-mount reflow assembly up to JEDEC J-STD-020 peak temperatures. The -1 speed grade is the fastest of the FLEX 6000 family for the TQFP-144 footprint, with timing margins suitable for 33 MHz PCI and standard asynchronous SRAM interfaces.
Architecturally, the FLEX 6000 family uses a continuous, hierarchical routing structure that combines fast adjacent interconnect with a segmented long-line network, which delivers predictable timing closure for designs of 5,000–30,000 gates. Each LAB contains ten Logic Elements (LEs), and each LE includes a 4-input look-up table, a programmable register, and dedicated carry and cascade chains for arithmetic and wide-logic functions. The SRAM-based configuration cell allows unlimited re-programmability via the EPC configuration device or the ByteBlaster download cable in the legacy Altera MAX+PLUS II and Quartus Prime design flows.
Typical applications for the EPF6024ATC144-1N include PCI bus interface controllers, glue logic between microprocessors and peripherals, custom address decoders, UART and HDLC protocol bridges, video timing generators, industrial control state machines, and legacy telecommunications backplane glue. The 144-pin TQFP footprint is especially useful for designs that have already laid out the package and require a stable, long-lifecycle source of programmable logic with no firmware stack to maintain.
When designing with this device, ensure the 3.3V supply is well decoupled with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor per power pin pair and a bulk 10 µF tantalum or ceramic capacitor on each supply rail. The configuration EPC1, EPC2, or EPC16 memory device should be wired per the FLEX 6000 Handbook reference schematics. Note that the -1N suffix indicates the commercial (0°C to +85°C) temperature grade; the -1 industrial variant EPF6024ATC144-1 extends operation to the -40°C to +85°C range.

Applications typiques
EPF6024ATC144-1N convient pour 6 applications: PCI Bus Interface Controller, Custom Address Decoder / Glue Logic, UART / HDLC Protocol Bridge, Video Timing Generator, Industrial Control State Machine, Legacy Telecom Backplane Glue.
PCI Bus Interface Controller
The EPF6024ATC144-1N is a strong match for legacy 33 MHz PCI target controllers and bus bridges thanks to its 1,960 logic elements, 117 user I/O pins, and -1 (fastest) FLEX 6000 speed grade. The 144-TQFP footprint exposes enough I/O for 32-bit PCI plus auxiliary control signals, while the 3.3V I/O bank is natively PCI-signaling-environment compatible. Designers typically allocate roughly 1,400 LEs for the PCI state machine, parity generator, and target decoder, leaving headroom for custom application logic. Because the device is in NRND status with stable long-term supply, it remains a common choice for industrial backplane controllers that must remain bitstream-stable across multi-year production runs.
Recommandé
Custom Address Decoder / Glue Logic
For microprocessor-to-peripheral address decoding and bus-interface glue logic, the EPF6024ATC144-1N offers a compelling blend of capacity, JTAG support, and 3.3V I/O. The 117 user I/O pins easily handle 24- or 32-bit address buses plus chip-select fan-out, and the 196 LABs keep fanout delays predictable for asynchronous decode. Compared to discrete 74-series TTL, a single FPGA reduces board area, BOM count, and power consumption. The 144-TQFP footprint is also drop-in compatible with the EPF6016 family when a smaller, lower-cost variant is sufficient.
Recommandé
UART / HDLC Protocol Bridge
The EPF6024ATC144-1N's 1,960 logic elements comfortably implement multi-channel UART, HDLC, or custom serial protocol bridges for telecom and industrial-control backplanes. Each protocol block typically consumes 200-400 LEs, leaving room for 4-8 channels plus a host-side register interface. The 117 I/O pins accommodate 8-16 serial data lines, modems control, and host-side parallel bus, while the -1 speed grade supports 10-50 Mbps serial rates. Designers appreciate the SRAM-based configuration because field firmware updates can be deployed via JTAG without re-spinning the board.
Recommandé
Video Timing Generator
Legacy VGA, NTSC, and PAL timing generators are well served by the EPF6024ATC144-1N's predictable 3.3V I/O banks and 117 user I/O count. Typical designs consume 600-900 LEs for H-sync, V-sync, blanking, and pixel-clock generation, with 1,000+ LEs left for overlay rendering or chroma keying. The 144-TQFP footprint has 117 available user I/O, which is more than enough for 24-bit digital video plus control signals. The FLEX 6000 deterministic routing structure helps achieve clean sub-nanosecond timing for CRT-era pixel clocks up to 100 MHz.
Recommandé
Industrial Control State Machine
For industrial control state machines in PLCs, motor drives, and process automation, the EPF6024ATC144-1N offers industrial-grade reliability when the -1 temperature variant is selected. The device's 196 LABs support complex multi-stage state machines with parallel datapath logic, and the JTAG boundary-scan simplifies board test in volume production. The 144-TQFP package is widely supported by contract assemblers for both leaded and lead-free reflow profiles. Compared to a microcontroller-based state machine, an FPGA implementation provides deterministic cycle-time and immunity to software stack overhead, which is critical for safety-related control loops.
Recommandé
Legacy Telecom Backplane Glue
The EPF6024ATC144-1N was designed precisely for the high-density backplane glue logic used in 1990s-2000s telecom and datacom equipment, and it remains a long-life option for sustaining such systems. The 1,960-LE capacity, 117 I/O, and 3.3V I/O bank natively support LVTTL and LVCMOS signaling at the bus speeds typical of T1/E1, H.110, and CompactPCI backplanes. Its NRND status with continuing Intel/Altera support means telecom OEMs can safely continue to source the part for sustaining engineering of installed base products.

Notes de conception
The EPF6024ATC144-1N requires a single 3.3V supply for both VCCINT (core) and VCCIO (I/O banks). Per the FLEX 6000 datasheet DC characteristics, the typical Icc is in the 50-150 mA range depending on toggle rate and design utilization. Place one 0.1 µF X7R ceramic decoupling capacitor adjacent to every VCCINT/VCCIO pin pair (28 pairs total on the 144-TQFP), plus a single 10 µF bulk tantalum or ceramic capacitor on the main 3.3V rail. Estimated: at 100% utilization and 50 MHz toggle rate, Icc ≈ 120 mA; at 10% utilization, Icc ≈ 50 mA. Designers targeting low standby current should gate the 3.3V rail downstream of a power switch because the part does not include an internal power-down mode.
Because the FLEX 6000 uses SRAM-based configuration, the bitstream is volatile and must be reloaded at every power-up. A common design pitfall is omitting the configuration memory device (EPC1, EPC2, or EPC16) or wiring nCONFIG, nSTATUS, and CONF_DONE incorrectly. Per the FLEX 6000 handbook, nCONFIG must be held low for at least 8 µs after VCC stabilizes to initiate configuration, and CONF_DONE must be monitored to detect successful completion. Engineers new to the FLEX 6000 should use the Altera reference design schematic for the EPC2 + 144-TQFP configuration chain as a starting point.
The 144-TQFP uses a 0.5 mm lead pitch and 1.0 mm body footprint with JEDEC MS-026 land-pattern recommendations. PCB layout should provide 0.6 mm wide SMT pads with 0.2 mm solder-mask dam, a ground plane on layer 2 directly under the device, and 4-via stitching patterns on each GND pin. Signal traces should be length-matched within 50 mils for bus interfaces and avoid running parallel to the JTAG signals (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO) for more than 500 mils to prevent crosstalk during boundary-scan testing. Per the FLEX 6000 datasheet, unused user I/O should be left floating; configuring them as inputs with internal pull-ups adds leakage of approximately 10 µA per pin.
