EPF6016QC208-3 סקירה

The Altera (Intel) EPF6016QC208-3 is a member of the FLEX 6000 family of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) fabricated on a 5.0V CMOS process, offering 16,000 typical gates and 1,320 logic elements across 132 Logic Array Blocks (LABs). The -3 speed grade denotes the slowest commercial speed bin of the family, prioritizing timing-closure margin over absolute fMAX, and the device is housed in a 208-pin Power Quad Flat Pack (PQFP / QFP-208) package with 171 usable user I/Os. It operates from a single 5.0V supply (VCCINT = 5.0V, VCCIO = 3.3V or 5.0V tolerant) and is targeted at glue-logic, bus-interface, and cost-sensitive ASIC-replacement designs in industrial, telecom, and embedded-control applications.

A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor integrated circuit containing an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs / LEs), programmable interconnect, and I/O cells, all of which can be re-programmed in the field to implement arbitrary digital logic. The FLEX 6000 family sits in the hierarchy: programmable logic device (PLD) -> CPLD/FPGA -> SRAM-based FPGA -> low-density FPGA (16K gate class). Each LE in the EPF6016 contains a 4-input look-up table (LUT), a programmable register, and dedicated carry and cascade chains that accelerate arithmetic and wide fan-in functions across LABs, providing deterministic, predictable timing for synchronous state machines and datapaths.

Key features of the EPF6016QC208-3 include 1,320 logic elements in 132 LABs, 171 user I/Os, an embedded array block structure, JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan support, and SRAM-based configuration loaded from a serial PROM or through the Altera ByteBlaster / MasterBlaster / BitBlaster download cables. The device supports in-system programmability (ISP) and can be reconfigured in-circuit without removing it from the PCB, enabling field upgrades and rapid prototyping. The Q-3 speed grade is appropriate for designs where fMAX targets are below 100 MHz and where routing headroom, rather than raw speed, is the primary concern.

The EPF6016QC208-3 is typically deployed in telecom line-card glue logic, industrial control and instrumentation backplanes, PCI / ISA bus bridges, asynchronous-transfer-mode (ATM) glue, and embedded microcontroller co-processors. The 208-pin PQFP footprint has a generous 0.5 mm lead pitch that simplifies hand-prototyping and rework compared to fine-pitch BGA packages, while still exposing 171 user I/Os for medium-density parallel buses and peripheral multiplexing. Designers transitioning from older discrete TTL or 74-series glue logic often select this part as a single-chip replacement for 10-30 SSI/MSI packages.

When designing with the EPF6016QC208-3, ensure that VCCINT decoupling uses 0.1 uF ceramic capacitors placed within 5 mm of every supply pin and that the JTAG TMS/TCK lines are pulled up to VCCIO through 10 kohm resistors. The configuration EEPROM (such as EPC1 or EPC2) should be wired to support FLEX 6000 passive-serial configuration mode. Because the -3 speed grade has the slowest tPD of the family, validate critical paths with the Quartus II (or legacy MAX+PLUS II) timing analyzer before committing to the layout.

יישומים טיפוסיים

EPF6016QC208-3 מתאים עבור 6 יישוםs: Telecom Line-Card Glue Logic, Industrial Control Backplanes, PCI / ISA Bus Bridge, Embedded Microcontroller Co-Processor, Legacy ASIC Replacement, Test and Measurement Instrumentation.

🌐

Telecom Line-Card Glue Logic

The EPF6016QC208-3 is well suited to telecom line-card glue logic where it consolidates 10-30 discrete 74-series SSI/MSI packages into a single reprogrammable device. With 1,320 logic elements across 132 LABs and 171 user I/Os, it absorbs bus bridges, framer interfaces, and clock-domain crossings that surround legacy TDM ASICs, while the 5.0V VCCINT and 3.3V/5.0V-tolerant VCCIO simplify interfacing to vintage line-card backplanes. The -3 speed grade delivers deterministic timing at sub-100 MHz fMAX with ample routing slack, and in-system programmability via JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) allows field firmware revisions without removing the line card from service.

🏭

Industrial Control Backplanes

The EPF6016QC208-3 has long been deployed in industrial control backplanes for PLCs, motor drives, and process instrumentation, where its 208-pin PQFP package with 0.5 mm lead pitch is hand-solderable and field-reworkable by technicians. The 5.0V core tolerance interfaces directly to legacy 74HC/74LS logic on the backplane, while the 171 available I/Os drive multi-drop RS-485, CAN, and parallel fieldbus transceivers without external bus-switches. Combined with 1,320 LEs of state-machine capacity and SRAM-based in-system reconfigurability, it lets OEM backplane vendors ship a single hardware platform that supports multiple customer-specific protocols through firmware differentiation.

🖥️

PCI / ISA Bus Bridge

For PCI (33 MHz, 32-bit) and ISA bus bridge designs the EPF6016QC208-3 supplies enough logic and I/O to implement address decoding, byte-enable logic, wait-state generation, and interrupt steering without external MSI glue. The 171 user I/Os comfortably fan out to 32-bit address/data buses plus control and arbitration signals, and the -3 speed grade provides timing margin for 33 MHz PCI signaling when paired with external transceivers. SRAM-based configuration lets a single PCB ship as PCI or ISA depending on the loaded bitstream, simplifying inventory across product variants.

🔧

Embedded Microcontroller Co-Processor

The EPF6016QC208-3 serves as a co-processor to 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers (8051, 68HC11, H8) by offloading custom peripheral logic, DSP pre-processing, or parallel I/O expansion. Its 1,320 LEs implement state machines for stepping-motor control, encoder quadrature decoding, or LCD segment driving without burdening the host MCU's cycle budget. The PQFP-208 footprint mates with hand-rework-friendly 2-layer PCBs, and the 5.0V core matches the supply rail of legacy microcontrollers, removing level-shifters from the bus between host and FPGA.

✈️

Legacy ASIC Replacement

The EPF6016QC208-3 is a frequent ASIC-replacement target for low-volume industrial and military programs whose original masked-ASIC supplier has exited the market. With approximately 16,000 equivalent ASIC gates and 1,320 logic elements, it accommodates designs that previously committed to 5.0V masked ASICs and now require last-time-buy alternatives. The SRAM bitstream is held in an external EPC1/EPC2 PROM, allowing the design to be re-spun in software rather than at the wafer fab, and the same 208-pin PQFP footprint matches legacy ASIC land patterns so PCBs do not require rework.

🔬

Test and Measurement Instrumentation

Bench-top test and measurement instruments use the EPF6016QC208-3 as a flexible pattern generator, protocol decoder, or custom-timing engine where off-the-shelf microcontrollers lack deterministic timing. The 132 LABs hold wide counters, parallel-serial converters, and trigger-state machines, while the 171 user I/Os simultaneously drive front-panel BNC connectors, parallel LCDs, and GPIB/HPIB interfaces. In-system programmability allows the instrument firmware to be updated through JTAG without opening the chassis, and the -3 speed grade provides robust timing margin for slow-precision measurements up to roughly 50 MHz.

What is the EPF6016QC208-3?
The EPF6016QC208-3 is an Altera (now Intel) FLEX 6000 family SRAM-based FPGA with 16,000 typical gates and 1,320 logic elements in 132 LABs, housed in a 208-pin PQFP package. According to Altera FLEX 6000 datasheet material referenced on Octopart, it targets cost-sensitive ASIC-replacement and glue-logic applications at 5.0V supply with 171 user I/Os available on the -3 speed grade.
How many logic elements does the EPF6016QC208-3 have?
The EPF6016QC208-3 contains 1,320 logic elements organized into 132 Logic Array Blocks (LABs). Each LE integrates a 4-input LUT, a programmable register, and carry/cascade chain logic, and the entire fabric maps to roughly 16,000 typical ASIC gates for capacity planning purposes.
Is the EPF6016QC208-3 still in production?
No, the EPF6016QC208-3 is obsolete.

EPF6016QC208-3 vs EPF6016QC208-2 - which should I choose?
Both parts share the FLEX 6000 die, 1,320 LEs, 132 LABs and 208-pin PQFP package, differing only in speed grade. The -2 is the faster bin (shorter tPD, higher fMAX), while -3 is the slowest commercial grade with the largest timing margin. Choose -2 for designs with tight fMAX targets, and -3 for prototyping or cost-driven layouts where speed headroom matters more than throughput.
What is a drop-in replacement for the EPF6016QC208-3?
Drop-in same-package replacements in the FLEX 6000 family include EPF6016QC208-2N and EPF6016QC208-2 (208-pin PQFP, identical footprint, different speed grade). The -2N variant adds -40C to +85C industrial temperature range and is functionally identical at room temperature, making it a clean substitution when timing margins allow the slower -3 grade.
Is there a non-Altera (cross-brand) equivalent for the EPF6016QC208-3?
There is no pin-compatible cross-brand replacement for the EPF6016QC208-3 in the same 208-pin PQFP package. Xilinx XC4000-series parts with similar 16K-gate capacity used different pinouts and BGA packages, so they require PCB rework. For new designs the recommended cross-brand path is to migrate to a modern low-density FPGA such as Lattice iCE40 or Microchip PolarFire in a fresh PCB layout.
What is the operating voltage of EPF6016QC208-3?
The EPF6016QC208-3 requires a 5.0V VCCINT supply for the core logic, with VCCIO supporting 3.3V or 5.0V I/O banks for mixed-voltage interfacing. The device does NOT support 1.8V or 1.2V core rails; for low-voltage operation, migrate to a Cyclone III/IV/V FPGA on 1.2V VCCINT.
How do I configure the EPF6016QC208-3?
The EPF6016QC208-3 uses SRAM configuration loaded through the passive-serial (PS) mode from an external EPC1, EPC2, or EPC16 configuration PROM, or directly from a download cable such as Altera ByteBlaster / MasterBlaster / BitBlaster. JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) is also supported for boundary-scan testing and in-system programming. Configuration time is determined by the bitstream size (approximately 60-80 Kbits for a fully utilized EPF6016).
What software supports the EPF6016QC208-3?
The EPF6016QC208-3 is supported by MAX+PLUS II (legacy Altera toolchain) and Quartus II versions up through Quartus II 13.0 sp1. Quartus Prime does not support FLEX 6000 devices; engineers maintaining FLEX 6000 designs must remain on MAX+PLUS II or an archived Quartus II version for synthesis, place-and-route, and timing analysis.
What package does the EPF6016QC208-3 use?
The EPF6016QC208-3 is housed in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP / QFP-208) with 0.5 mm lead pitch and a body size of approximately 28 mm x 28 mm with a 3.4 mm profile. The Q-suffix in the part number designates PQFP, and the C denotes commercial temperature grade. 171 of the 208 pins are bonded out as user I/Os; remaining pins are supply, ground, JTAG, and configuration.
What are typical applications for the EPF6016QC208-3?
The EPF6016QC208-3 is used in telecom line-card glue logic, industrial control and instrumentation backplanes, PCI and ISA bus bridges, embedded microcontroller co-processors, and asynchronous-transfer-mode (ATM) glue. Its 5.0V tolerance and 208-pin PQFP ease of prototyping make it common in legacy industrial systems, military refresh programs, and ASIC-replacement designs that originally targeted the late 1990s.

מדריך בחירה

Choose the EPF6016QC208-3 when your design is timing-marginal rather than speed-critical, and you want the lowest unit cost in the FLEX 6000 208-pin PQFP family. It is the right pick for glue-logic replacement, legacy ASIC drop-in, and 5.0V-tolerant industrial backplanes where fMAX below 100 MHz is acceptable. Choose EPF6016QC208-2 if you need higher fMAX in the same footprint, or EPF6016QC208-2N if you also need industrial -40 C to +85 C operation. Migrate to a Cyclone IV/V or MAX 10 CPLD for new designs, since the FLEX 6000 family is obsolete. The 208-pin PQFP package remains the best choice for hand-prototyping and field-rework scenarios where BGA is impractical.

הערות תכנון

Estimated: at VCCINT = 5.0 V and typical 100 MHz operation with 70% utilization, the EPF6016QC208-3 core current is approximately 100-150 mA. Place 0.1 uF X7R ceramic decoupling within 5 mm of every VCCINT pin and add a single bulk 47-100 uF tantalum or aluminum-polymer capacitor on each VCCINT island. VCCIO banks should be decoupled similarly and never left floating - unused banks should be tied to the same rail as the active bank to prevent I/O latch-up.

PQFP-208 has 0.5 mm lead pitch - keep-out clearance of 0.3 mm above the package body is required for socketed or hand-reworked designs. Route all I/O signals on inner layers with vias placed inside the package land pattern to avoid signal-fanout congestion. Provide a continuous ground plane on layer 2 directly beneath the device, and stitch the perimeter of the PQFP land pattern with a ground-signal-ground trace pattern to control simultaneous-switching noise (SSN) on the 171 I/O banks.

Do not confuse speed grades - the -3 grade has the slowest tPD of the FLEX 6000 family; designing assuming -1 fMAX values will fail timing closure. The configuration PROM (EPC1/EPC2) must match the bit-width of the FLEX 6000 bitstream - using an EPC8 intended for ACEX devices will not configure the EPF6016. Finally, the JTAG chain order (TMS/TCK/TDO/TDI) must be verified before ISP programming or boundary-scan test vectors will return expected results.

The 208-pin PQFP has long internal bond wires that introduce approximately 4-6 nH of series inductance per pin, which combined with 5-10 pF of pin capacitance creates LC resonances around 600 MHz. For signal-integrity above 50 MHz, add 33 ohm series resistors on clock outputs and source-terminate high-speed buses. The PQFP-208 body is approximately 28 mm x 28 mm with 3.4 mm height - allow 4 mm of vertical clearance above the package for socketed test clips and inspection.
