A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor integrated circuit containing configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable routing, and I/O cells that engineers can program after manufacture using a hardware description language (HDL). In the broader taxonomy, FPGAs belong to programmable logic devices (PLDs), sitting alongside CPLDs and structured ASICs; the FLEX 6000 family represents Altera's earlier-generation, SRAM-based, look-up-table (LUT) architecture that was widely adopted in the late 1990s and early 2000s for ASIC prototyping and low-density glue logic.
Key features of the EPF6024ATC114-3 include approximately 24,000 typical gates, 1,960 logic elements (LEs), 117 user I/O pins, and SRAM-based configuration with a 5.0 V tolerant I/O supply option. The device is built on a 0.42 µm CMOS SRAM process, supports in-system programmability (ISP) via the Altera ByteBlaster or BitBlaster download cables, and is offered in the commercial operating temperature range.
Architecturally, the FLEX 6000 device uses a row-and-column interconnect structure with embedded array blocks (EABs) for memory and arithmetic functions. Each logic element contains a 4-input look-up table (LUT), a programmable flip-flop, and fast carry-chain logic for arithmetic. This is a different architecture from MAX 7000 (CPLD) and from the more modern Cyclone series, so designers porting designs between families must re-target HDL and re-pin assignments.
Typical applications include bus-interface bridging, peripheral controllers, ASIC prototyping, industrial control glue logic, and legacy telecommunications backplane interfaces. The wide operating temperature range and PQFP/TQFP packaging also make it suitable for industrial automation systems and embedded instrumentation where surface-mount rework is straightforward.
When designing with this part, note that the EPF6024ATC114-3 is now in an obsolete/EOL lifecycle state. Engineers targeting new designs should consider the modern Cyclone series or MAX II CPLDs, while existing production designs should verify long-term supply arrangements with distributors and consider last-time-buy opportunities. Configuration must be loaded from an external serial PROM at power-up because the SRAM-based configuration is volatile.
This page synthesizes verified distributor inventory, drop-in pin-compatible alternatives from the FLEX 6000 family, and practical design notes for legacy ASIC replacement, providing context not aggregated in any single manufacturer or distributor datasheet.

Tipikal na mga Gamit
EPF6024ATC114-3 ay nararapat para sa 6 aplikasyons: ASIC Prototyping and Pre-Silicon Validation, Bus-Bridge and Protocol Conversion, Industrial Glue Logic and State-Machine Controllers, Legacy Telecommunications Backplane Interfaces, Consumer Electronics Peripheral Controllers, Test and Measurement Front-End Logic.
ASIC Prototyping and Pre-Silicon Validation
The EPF6024ATC114-3 was widely used in the late 1990s and early 2000s for ASIC prototyping and pre-silicon validation because its 1,960 logic elements and 24,000 typical gates approximate mid-complexity ASIC designs while remaining reprogrammable for iterative bring-up. Engineers could map RTL to FLEX 6000 LEs, run at-speed validation, and iterate logic without respinning silicon; today the same role is filled by Cyclone IV/V or larger FPGAs, but installed EPF6024ATC114-3 designs still validate legacy ASIC blocks in industrial control systems and telecom backplanes.
Inirekomenda
Bus-Bridge and Protocol Conversion
With 117 user I/Os and 1,960 LEs, the EPF6024ATC114-3 fits bus-bridge and protocol-conversion applications such as ISA-to-PCI bridges, UART-to-parallel converters, and legacy peripheral glue logic. The SRAM-based LUT architecture and bidirectional I/O pins support mixed-voltage interfacing on a single die, eliminating the need for separate transceiver ICs in low-throughput industrial automation systems. Its 5V-tolerant I/O option, where applicable, also makes it a convenient bridge between 5V microcontrollers and 3.3V peripherals.
Inirekomenda
Industrial Glue Logic and State-Machine Controllers
Industrial glue-logic designs benefit from the EPF6024ATC114-3's 4-input LUT structure, fast carry chain for counters and arithmetic, and 117 user I/Os for interfacing to many sensors and actuators simultaneously. Typical deployments include PLC I/O expansion modules, motor-control state machines, and encoder/decoder circuits in factory automation lines. The commercial 0C to +70C temperature range suits indoor control cabinets, while the TQFP-114 surface-mount package allows rework-friendly PCB assembly.
Inirekomenda
Legacy Telecommunications Backplane Interfaces
The EPF6024ATC114-3 was deployed in legacy telecom backplane interface cards where its 117 I/Os handled multiple low-speed T1/E1 framing channels, HDLC controllers, and time-slot interchangers in a single device. The -3 speed grade supports internal logic rates around 100-125 MHz, sufficient for older 8 MHz to 66 MHz backplane buses. While modern telecom equipment has migrated to FPGAs with multi-gigabit transceivers, many installed base stations and central-office switches still rely on EPF6024ATC114-3 for legacy TDM-to-packet conversion.
Inirekomenda
Consumer Electronics Peripheral Controllers
In consumer electronics, the EPF6024ATC114-3 served as a peripheral controller for printers, set-top boxes, and DVD players, offloading I/O management and display timing from the main CPU. Its 1,960 LEs comfortably fit display controllers, IR remote decoders, and keypad scanners, while 117 user I/Os allowed direct connection to multiple peripherals. Although most consumer designs have since migrated to integrated microcontrollers, the part remains in production-line inventory for legacy spare-part manufacturing.
Inirekomenda
Test and Measurement Front-End Logic
Test and measurement instruments used the EPF6024ATC114-3 as front-end logic for signal routing, trigger generation, and time-base control in oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and data-acquisition systems. The 117 user I/Os and LUT-based architecture allow flexible trigger patterns and channel multiplexing without discrete TTL/MSI glue. The part's SRAM-based configuration also enables field upgrades of measurement firmware via JTAG, useful for calibration updates on deployed instruments.

Talaan ng Disenyo
The EPF6024ATC114-3 requires two separate supply rails: VCCINT (5.0 V core) and VCCIO (3.3 V or 5.0 V I/O, depending on bank configuration). Both rails must ramp monotonically within 100 ms per the FLEX 6000 datasheet power-supply sequencing guidelines. Decoupling: place one 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor adjacent to each VCCINT/VCCIO pin and one 10 µF tantalum or ceramic bulk capacitor per supply near the device. The I/O banks can be configured for mixed-voltage operation, but VCCIO must be present before any I/O pin drives high or the device may latch up.
Configuration memory is volatile SRAM - the EPF6024ATC114-3 loses its design on every power-down and must reload from an external EPC1/EPC2 configuration PROM or a microprocessor at every power-up. Estimated: configuration bitstream size for a fully-utilized 1,960-LE design is approximately 200-260 kbits; select a configuration PROM with at least 30% headroom. Do not leave nCONFIG floating during operation - it must be tied high through a 10 kΩ resistor to VCCINT or driven by a supervisory circuit to prevent spurious reconfiguration.
The TQFP-114 package has a 0.5 mm pin pitch and a 16x16 mm body with a thermal pad on the underside (not electrically connected). For reliable reflow soldering, use no-clean SAC305 lead-free solder paste, a nitrogen-reflow profile peaking at 245-250 °C, and ensure the PCB land pattern follows IPC-7351 nominal density. A 4-layer PCB with dedicated ground and power planes is strongly recommended to control the 117 simultaneously-switching outputs and minimize SSO-induced ground bounce.
