EPF6016QC240-3N 개요

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPF6016QC240-3N is a member of the FLEX 6000 family of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) with 16,000 typical gates, 1,320 logic elements, 132 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), and 199 user I/O pins, packaged in a 240-pin Power Quad Flat Pack (PQFP/BFQFP). According to the Altera FLEX 6000 datasheet, the device is fabricated on a 0.42 µm CMOS process, supports a 5.0 V core supply with selectable 3.3 V or 5.0 V VCCIO, and operates from 0 °C to 85 °C commercial junction temperature at speed grade -3.

What is an FPGA? An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a type of programmable logic device (PLD) that allows designers to configure arbitrary digital logic after manufacturing, sitting hierarchically under programmable logic -> logic IC -> semiconductor. FPGAs integrate configurable logic blocks (LABs/LEs), programmable interconnects, and I/O elements on a single die, providing a low-cost alternative to mask-programmed gate arrays and enabling fast design changes during prototyping or volume production. The FLEX 6000 family is a low-density, low-cost family historically targeted at glue-logic, bus-interface, and high-volume consumer/industrial applications.

Key features of the EPF6016QC240-3N include a maximum internal operating frequency reported around 125 MHz (with 172 MHz maximum internal frequency cited in some sources), 199 maximum user I/Os, FastTrack Interconnect routing, and multiVolt I/O supporting both 3.3 V and 5.0 V interfaces. The device is in-system programmable via Altera's ByteBlaster or BitBlaster configuration interfaces using SRAM configuration cells, allowing unlimited reprogramming.

The architecture combines 132 LABs of 10 Logic Elements each (1,320 LEs total) with four Enhanced Embedded Array Blocks (EABs) implemented as RAM/ROM blocks. The 240-pin PQFP package provides ample user I/O for parallel bus and peripheral bridging designs. The speed grade -3 indicates a moderate performance tier in the FLEX 6000 family.

Typical applications include bus-interface bridging, peripheral controllers, industrial glue logic, telecommunication line cards, and high-volume consumer products where fast design changes are needed. The -3N suffix denotes industrial temperature range (0 °C to 85 °C TJ) and is the standard commercial-grade option.

When designing, ensure VCCINT and VCCIO rails are decoupled with 0.1 µF + 10 µF capacitors near each supply pin, and respect 5.0 V I/O tolerance rules per the FLEX 6000 datasheet when interfacing to 5.0 V CMOS inputs. This part is now listed as obsolete/EOL by Intel/Altera.

This page synthesizes distributor stock, recommended cross-references, and practical design notes for engineers maintaining legacy FLEX 6000 designs in long-lifecycle systems.

일반적인 애플리케이션

EPF6016QC240-3N 적합 용도: 6 애플리케이션s: PCI Bus Interface Bridge, Industrial Glue Logic Replacement, Telecommunication Line Card Interface, Legacy Peripheral Controller / Embedded Glue, Display and Video Timing Controller, Prototype Gate-Array Replacement.

🌐

PCI Bus Interface Bridge

The EPF6016QC240-3N's 199 user I/O pins and 1,320 logic elements make it well suited for PCI 2.1 32-bit/33 MHz bus bridges and protocol-conversion logic between legacy and modern host buses. The 240-pin PQFP provides ample 5.0 V-tolerant I/O for parallel PCI bus signals, and the on-chip EABs can implement small FIFOs or lookup tables for command translation. Designers can place the device between a legacy 5.0 V peripheral and a 3.3 V host, leveraging VCCIO = 5.0 V on one bank and VCCIO = 3.3 V on another. Speed grade -3 comfortably meets PCI 33 MHz timing budgets for combinational bridges, while 5.0 V core tolerance preserves compatibility with legacy ASIC/ASIC peripherals.

🏭

Industrial Glue Logic Replacement

In industrial controllers, the EPF6016QC240-3N replaces dozens of 74-series TTL/CMOS glue-logic devices with a single programmable device, reducing PCB area and BOM cost. The 1,320 LEs handle extensive combinational and sequential logic for state machines, encoder/decoder pairs, and watchdog supervisors. VCCIO selection lets the part interface to 5.0 V PLC backplanes and 3.3 V microcontrollers simultaneously, eliminating level-shifters. With 199 user I/Os, the device can sink/source the wide parallel buses typical of factory automation I/O modules. Speed grade -3 provides deterministic propagation delay critical for safety interlocks. Designers should follow FLEX 6000 datasheet recommendations for industrial EMI/EMC filtering on each I/O bank.

📞

Telecommunication Line Card Interface

The EPF6016QC240-3N is well matched to legacy telecom line cards where 16K gates of programmable logic is needed for T1/E1 framers, HDLC controllers, and time-slot interchangers. The 199 user I/Os comfortably handle the parallel TDM backplane plus serial control interfaces, while the 5.0 V core tolerance interfaces directly to legacy line-card ASICs. On-chip EABs implement small elastic buffers and pattern-matching tables without external SRAM. Speed grade -3 meets typical T1 (1.544 MHz) and E1 (2.048 MHz) timing budgets with significant margin. The 240-pin PQFP package is preferred over BGA in through-hole-probe-friendly line-card designs for in-field repair.

🖥️

Legacy Peripheral Controller / Embedded Glue

In long-lifecycle embedded systems, the EPF6016QC240-3N consolidates scattered address-decoding, interrupt-control, and DMA-handshake logic into one programmable device. With 1,320 LEs and 199 user I/Os, it can handle 8/16-bit microcontroller peripheral expansion, IDE/ATA disk controllers, and parallel-port emulation. VCCIO flexibility enables direct connection to both 5.0 V legacy peripherals and 3.3 V processors. Speed grade -3 supports typical microcontroller bus speeds up to ~50 MHz. The SRAM-based configuration allows unlimited in-system reprogramming during development, and the FLEX 6000 design toolchain (Quartus legacy versions) supports schematic and VHDL/Verilog entry.

📺

Display and Video Timing Controller

The EPF6016QC240-3N's combination of 199 I/Os and 1,320 LEs is well suited for legacy VGA/CRT timing controllers, character-generator overlays, and simple LCD panel interfaces. The 5.0 V I/O tolerance lets it drive CRT analog interfaces directly via companion DACs, while EABs implement video line buffers and lookup-table-driven gamma correction. Speed grade -3 supports pixel clocks up to ~125 MHz depending on logic depth, sufficient for VGA (25 MHz), SVGA (40 MHz), and XGA (65 MHz) timings. Designers can implement multi-mode autodetection by reconfiguring the FPGA at boot via the ByteBlaster serial interface.

🔧

Prototype Gate-Array Replacement

The EPF6016QC240-3N is ideal as a mask-programmed gate-array prototype, allowing designers to validate 16K-gate ASICs before committing to NRE charges. The same 240-pin PQFP footprint and 199 I/Os match common gate-array pad-ring designs, enabling drop-in prototype boards that can later be replaced by the production ASIC. In-system SRAM programmability supports unlimited design-iteration cycles, and Quartus II design tools (legacy) provide direct migration paths to HardCopy structured ASICs. The 5.0 V core voltage matches the original gate-array power specification, simplifying prototype-to-production transition.

The EPF6016QC240-3N is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Altera's FLEX 6000 family, fabricated on a 0.42 µm CMOS process and delivering 16,000 typical gates / 1,320 logic elements. It is housed in a 240-pin PQFP (BFQFP) package and is now listed as obsolete/EOL by Intel (the current owner of Altera's FPGA portfolio). According to the FLEX 6000 datasheet front matter, the device targets low-cost, high-volume glue-logic and bus-interface applications.
What is the maximum operating frequency of EPF6016QC240-3N?
The EPF6016QC240-3N operates at a maximum internal frequency of approximately 125 MHz for typical commercial FLEX 6000 designs, with the datasheet front matter citing up to 172 MHz internal frequency depending on logic path and speed-grade derating. Per the Altera FLEX 6000 datasheet, speed grade -3 represents a moderate performance tier; engineers should consult the datasheet's timing model (tOD1/tOD2) for system-specific fMAX.
How many user I/O pins does the EPF6016QC240-3N have?
The EPF6016QC240-3N provides 199 maximum user I/O pins out of 240 total package pins, with the remaining pins allocated to VCCINT, VCCIO, GND, configuration (MSELn, nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE, DCLK, DATA0), JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI), and dedicated inputs. This high pin count is one of the highest in the FLEX 6000 family and makes it suitable for parallel bus bridging.
What is the supply voltage for EPF6016QC240-3N?
The EPF6016QC240-3N requires a 5.0 V core supply (VCCINT) and supports a selectable VCCIO of 3.3 V or 5.0 V for multi-voltage I/O interfacing. According to the FLEX 6000 datasheet, when VCCIO = 3.3 V the device directly drives 3.3 V systems; when VCCIO = 5.0 V with a pull-up resistor to 5.0 V, it can also drive 5.0 V CMOS inputs.
Where can I buy EPF6016QC240-3N and what is the approximate price?
The EPF6016QC240-3N is obsolete/EOL and primarily available through distributor excess inventory and authorized brokers, not direct from Intel. Per Octopart listing, 14 distributors historically stocked the part; current availability should be checked on DigiKey, Mouser, Avnet, and specialized obsolete-component brokers (e.g., Rochester Electronics, Lattice-managed legacy stock). Prices as of 2026-09-11 range roughly USD 17-29 depending on quantity and reel integrity.
What is the lead time for EPF6016QC240-3N?
Lead time for the EPF6016QC240-3N as of 2026-09-11 is variable because Intel/Altera has placed the part on EOL; inventory is limited to distributor stock and authorized aftermarket channels. Brokers such as Rochester Electronics typically quote 8-12 weeks on EOL parts, while remaining distributor shelf stock (if any) can ship same-day. Plan obsolescence management by qualifying a modern drop-in replacement upfront.
Is EPF6016QC240-3N in stock anywhere right now?
Stock for the EPF6016QC240-3N as of 2026-09-11 is sparse because the part is obsolete. Octopart aggregates 14 historical distributor listings; current live stock must be queried per distributor. We recommend cross-referencing DigiKey (last listed P/N 1084722), Mouser, Avnet, and Rochester Electronics for the most accurate real-time availability.
What is a good drop-in replacement for EPF6016QC240-3N?
Within the same Altera FLEX 6000 family, the EPF6016QC240-3 (same die, speed grade -3, commercial temperature) and EPF6016QC240-2 (speed grade -2, faster) are direct drop-in alternatives on the same 240-pin PQFP footprint. For a modern, RoHS-compliant active alternative, consider migrating to a Cyclone IV or MAX II CPLD family using the Altera Legacy Replacement Guide; these require HDL porting and pin re-mapping, so they are not strictly drop-in.
How does EPF6016QC240-3N compare to EPF6016QC240-3?
The EPF6016QC240-3N differs from EPF6016QC240-3 only by the trailing 'N' suffix, which designates industrial/standard commercial operating temperature (0 °C to 85 °C TJ). The -3N and -3 versions share identical die, 240-pin PQFP package, 5.0 V VCCINT, 16K gates, 1,320 LEs, and 199 user I/Os, making them true drop-in replacements with only minor temperature-grading labeling differences on the top mark.
How does EPF6016QC240-3N compare to EPF6016AQC208-3N?
The EPF6016AQC208-3N is a 5.0 V FLEX 6000A device in a smaller 208-pin PQFP package with approximately 171 user I/Os instead of 199. Compared with EPF6016QC240-3N, it has the same 16K gates / 1,320 LEs logic density but trades 28 I/O pins for a smaller footprint. It is not a drop-in replacement because the package differs; PCB rework would be required to migrate.
When should I choose EPF6016QC240-3N over a MAX II CPLD?
Choose EPF6016QC240-3N over a MAX II CPLD when you need true FPGA-level register-rich sequential logic (1,320 LEs vs ~240 logic elements in MAX II), 199 user I/Os, and on-chip EABs for RAM/ROM. MAX II CPLDs are non-volatile (FLASH-based) and cheaper, but EPF6016QC240-3N wins for designs that exceed CPLD logic density or require embedded memory blocks.
Is EPF6016QC240-3N suitable for new designs in 2026?
No - the EPF6016QC240-3N is not suitable for new designs in 2026 because Intel/Altera has placed it on obsolete/EOL status with no long-term supply guarantee. New designs should target the Cyclone IV/V family or Lattice ECP5, which provide modern 3.3 V/2.5 V I/O, lower power, and active roadmaps. Use EPF6016QC240-3N only for maintenance of existing field-deployed systems.
Where can I download the EPF6016QC240-3N datasheet PDF?
The original Altera FLEX 6000 datasheet covering the EPF6016QC240-3N is mirrored at https://www.alterasemi.com/datasheet/alterasemi/EPF6016QC240-3.pdf. Additional documentation is available on Intel's legacy FPGA documentation archive and from distributors such as DigiKey and Mouser under their product detail pages for P/N 1084722.
Where can I find the EPF6016QC240-3N pinout and package diagram?
The 240-pin PQFP (BFQFP) pinout for the EPF6016QC240-3N is documented in the FLEX 6000 datasheet's package specification chapter. The package is a 32 mm x 32 mm gull-wing PQFP. A pinout diagram and signal-name table are included in the datasheet PDF linked above; Ball-Grid-Array package variants of the same die (EPF6016BC256-3N) are also documented.
What is the best Intel/Altera equivalent for EPF6016QC240-3N in active production?
The best active Intel/Altera equivalent for the EPF6016QC240-3N is the EP4CE6E22 or EP4CE10E22 (Cyclone IV E family) in a modern QFP/BGA package, which provides comparable logic density (6K-10K LEs) with much lower power and active Intel support. Note that these are NOT drop-in: PCB redesign, HDL porting, and pin reassignment are required. Engineers seeking true drop-in should remain on the FLEX 6000 family.

선택 가이드

Choose the EPF6016QC240-3N when maintaining a legacy FLEX 6000 design that requires 16K gates, 1,320 LEs, and 199 user I/Os in a 240-pin PQFP, where 5.0 V core voltage tolerance is mandatory and the design has already been validated on this exact footprint. For new designs in 2026, this part is NOT recommended due to obsolete/EOL status - migrate to Cyclone IV (EP4CE6/10) or Lattice ECP5 instead. Choose the EPF6016QC240-3 (without N suffix) if a non-temperature-graded variant is acceptable for your supply chain. Choose the EPF6016QC240-2N when the same logic but higher fMAX is required - it is a direct drop-in. Avoid EPF6016AQC208-3N and EPF6016BC256-3N if a true drop-in replacement is needed; they require PCB redesign due to different packages (208-PQFP and 256-BGA respectively).

설계 노트

Per the FLEX 6000 datasheet, VCCINT (5.0 V) and VCCIO (3.3 V or 5.0 V) must each be decoupled with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of every VCC pin, plus one bulk 10 µF tantalum or ceramic capacitor per supply rail. The EPF6016QC240-3N has 12 VCCINT and 8 VCCIO pins distributed around the 240-PQFP package for optimal power-integrity; designers must populate ALL of them. During configuration the device draws ICCINT configuration current; ensure the regulator can source the inrush peak.

The 240-pin PQFP package has a theta_JA of approximately 25-30 C/W in still air, so the EPF6016QC240-3N does NOT normally require a heatsink at typical 5.0 V operating frequencies. However, in enclosed industrial enclosures with limited airflow, junction temperature can rise; verify with a thermal probe or by using the FLEX 6000 power estimator. Speed grade -3 versus -2 does not significantly change power dissipation. For long-term reliability, keep junction temperature below 100 °C.

Use a 4-layer PCB with continuous power and ground planes for the EPF6016QC240-3N. Route all 199 user I/Os with controlled-impedance traces if any signal exceeds 50 MHz, and keep FastTrack Interconnect delay paths short. The 32 x 32 mm PQFP land pattern is large; allow adequate breakout area for 0.5 mm-pitch gull-wing leads. Place the configuration PROM (e.g., EPC1 or EPC2) within 50 mm of the DATA0/DCLK/nCONFIG pins to avoid configuration errors.

Do NOT mix VCCIO = 3.3 V and 5.0 V on the same I/O bank - each bank must be configured for a single voltage via its VCCIO pins. Failing to connect nCONFIG through a 10 kΩ pull-up to VCCINT prevents configuration from initiating. The OE/CLKUSR pin must be tied to logic-high or logic-low as required by the design - leaving it floating causes unpredictable behavior. Finally, ensure JTAG chain order matches the BSDL file; TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI on EPF6016QC240-3N follow the standard 1149.1 layout.
