EPF6016TC144-3 Ringkasan

The Altera EPF6016TC144-3 is a member of the FLEX 6000 family of SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) housed in a 144-pin LQFP package. Built on a 0.42 µm CMOS process with 5V core operation, the device delivers approximately 16,000 typical gates, 1,320 logic elements distributed across 132 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), and 117 user I/O pins, with a maximum internal frequency of 125 MHz and a system frequency rating around 172 MHz. The "TC144" suffix denotes the TQFP commercial-temperature package, while the "-3" speed grade indicates the standard performance tier within the FLEX 6000 line.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a reconfigurable integrated circuit that combines programmable logic blocks, programmable interconnects, and programmable I/O cells into a single die. Unlike an ASIC, an FPGA's function is defined post-fabrication by loading a configuration bitstream into on-chip SRAM. In the system hierarchy, an FPGA sits between a microcontroller and an ASIC: it offers more flexibility than an MCU for parallel DSP or custom I/O tasks, and faster time-to-market than an ASIC for low-to-medium volume designs. The FLEX 6000 family specifically targets glue-logic, bus-interface, and low-density control-plane applications where 5V tolerance and QFP packages are still valued.

Key features of the EPF6016TC144-3 include continuous SRAM-based reconfigurability, multi-volt I/O support (3.3V and 5V tolerant interfaces), JTAG-based boundary-scan testing compliant with IEEE 1149.1, and four low-skew global clock networks. The device is supported by the Altera MAX+PLUS II and Quartus design flows, with EDIF 2.0/3.0 netlist, VHDL, Verilog HDL, and LPM (Library of Parameterized Modules) interfaces for third-party EDA tools from Cadence, Mentor Graphics, Synopsys, and OrCAD.

Architecturally, the FLEX 6000 LAB is built from 10 Logic Elements (LEs), each containing a 4-input look-up table, a programmable register, and a dedicated carry chain for fast arithmetic. The interconnect uses a continuous FastTrack routing matrix that delivers predictable timing across the die. The 5V-tolerant I/Os can interface directly to legacy TTL/CMOS peripherals without external level shifters, which is the key reason FLEX 6000 parts remain specified in industrial backplane and instrumentation designs.

Typical applications include industrial glue logic, legacy 5V bus bridges, motor control pre-processing, telecommunications backplane controllers, prototyping platforms for ASIC emulation, and test & measurement front-end logic. Designers usually pair the EPF6016TC144-3 with an EPC2 configuration device to store the SRAM bitstream at power-up.

When designing with this part, note that configuration data is volatile: the FPGA must be reconfigured at every power-up, so a serial configuration PROM or microcontroller must be included in the BOM. The commercial-grade temperature range (0°C to 85°C) must also be respected; for harsher environments, an industrial-grade variant (suffix "I") should be specified instead.

This page consolidates distributor pricing, drop-in same-family alternatives from the FLEX 6000 line, and practical design notes that are not repeated in the manufacturer datasheet itself, helping engineers compare and select between the many -1, -2, and -3 speed grades that Altera shipped in this family.
