EPF6016AQC208-3 جائزہ

The Intel / Altera EPF6016AQC208-3 is a member of the FLEX 6000 family of SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) delivering 16,000 typical gates (1,320 logic elements / 132 LABs) in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP / BFQFP) package. It is fabricated on a 5.0 V tolerant CMOS process and operates from a 3.3 V core supply, with 171 user I/O pins for high-pin-count glue-logic and integration tasks.

An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a programmable logic device (PLD) containing an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs / LEs / LABs) interconnected by a programmable routing fabric. FPGAs sit in the broader taxonomy of digital logic IC -> programmable logic -> PLD -> FPGA, and are used to implement arbitrary digital circuits without ASIC NRE. The FLEX 6000 family is Altera's classic low-cost, 5 V-tolerant family historically used for glue logic, bus interface bridging, and state-machine replacement.

Key features of the EPF6016AQC208-3 include 1,320 logic elements organized as 132 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), 171 user I/O pins, built-in SRAM configuration memory, JTAG-based in-system programmability via the IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan interface, and a typical internal operating frequency up to approximately 142.86 MHz. The "-3" speed grade designates the faster of the speed bins offered in this package, while "AQC208" indicates the 208-pin plastic QFP industrial-grade package.

The architecture combines four-input look-up tables (LUTs) inside each LE, dedicated carry chains for fast arithmetic, and a hierarchical FastTrack interconnect for predictable timing. The 3.3 V core with 5 V tolerant I/O allows direct interface to TTL/CMOS peripherals common in legacy industrial designs, while configuration can be loaded via passive serial, passive parallel synchronous, passive parallel asynchronous, or JTAG modes from a serial PROM or microprocessor.

Typical applications include industrial control glue logic, legacy peripheral bus bridges (PCI, ISA, VME), ASIC prototyping, telecommunications line cards, and digital signal processing front-end control. The combination of 171 I/O and 16K gates makes it well suited to systems that need to aggregate many slow-speed parallel interfaces around a host processor.

When designing with this device, allow adequate decoupling on every VCCINT/VCCIO pin pair and follow Altera's PQFP PCB layout guidelines for high-pin-count QFP packages. Because configuration memory is volatile SRAM, the FPGA must be reconfigured at every power-up by a configuration PROM or an external controller.

🔧

Industrial Glue Logic and Bus Bridging

The EPF6016AQC208-3 is widely deployed in industrial controllers as high-pin-count glue logic, aggregating slow-speed parallel peripherals (parallel ADC/DAC, optocouplers, key-matrix, LCD) around a host MCU or DSP. Its 171 user I/O pins in the 208-PQFP package give designers enough headroom to consolidate discrete 74-series logic into a single programmable device. The FLEX 6000's 5 V tolerant inputs on a 3.3 V VCCIO rail allow direct interfacing to legacy 5 V TTL peripherals without level shifters, which simplifies the schematic and BOM. Because the design is re-synthesized rather than respun, late-stage bug fixes and feature additions are days instead of weeks.

🖥️

ASIC Prototyping and Design Validation

Engineers use the EPF6016AQC208-3 to prototype ASICs and validate RTL before committing to mask costs. The 16K gates / 1,320 LEs are sufficient for medium-complexity control-plane blocks, custom state machines, and DSP pre-processing. Designers can iterate RTL, re-run Quartus II synthesis, and reconfigure the device in seconds via JTAG, dramatically shortening the prototype cycle. The 142.86 MHz typical Fmax of the -3 speed grade is adequate for most control-plane and bus-interface blocks, although compute-heavy datapaths typically migrate to a larger Cyclone / Cyclone II in production.

🌐

Telecommunications Line Cards

The EPF6016AQC208-3 has historically been used on telecom line cards for framing, channel-aggregation, and protocol-translation glue between TDM framers and a backplane ASIC. The 171 I/O and 3.3 V core with 5 V tolerant inputs let it bridge 5 V legacy framers to 3.3 V backplane ASICs without level shifters. Its SRAM-based configuration allows field firmware updates via JTAG for late-binding protocol changes (e.g., adding a new framing mode after deployment). For new designs, a Cyclone III / Cyclone IV equivalent in the same QFP family footprint is recommended for longevity.

🔌

Legacy Peripheral Bus Bridges (PCI / ISA / VME)

The FLEX 6000 series including the EPF6016AQC208-3 was a popular choice for PCI / ISA / VME bridge designs in the late 1990s and early 2000s, providing target or master logic for legacy parallel buses. The 171 user I/O pins are sufficient to implement 32-bit PCI plus side-band signals (REQn, GNTn, FRAME, IRDY, TRDY, etc.) inside a single device, eliminating multiple 74-series glue packages. Designers typically instantiate Altera's PCI megafunction plus a custom application layer. Note that 3.3 V PCI signaling requires the EPF6016A's VCCIO to be tied to 3.3 V; for 5 V PCI systems use an older FLEX 8000 or FLEX 10K.

📺

Test & Measurement Front-End Control

In test-and-measurement instruments, the EPF6016AQC208-3 is used as a flexible front-end multiplexer / timing controller, routing analog signals to ADC channels and sequencing trigger events. Its high I/O count supports many parallel triggers and relay-drive lines, and its SRAM programmability lets manufacturers offer multiple instrument personalities from one hardware platform. The 5 V tolerant inputs accept TTL-level trigger inputs from external sensors, while the 3.3 V outputs cleanly drive modern low-voltage ADC digital inputs. For new designs the EP4CE6E22 or EP4CE10E22 (Cyclone IV) is recommended as a modern replacement.

✈️

Legacy Avionics / Defense Subsystems

The EPF6016AQC208-3 was specified into several long-lifecycle defense and avionics subsystems in the late 1990s, where its 5 V tolerance, PQFP ruggedness, and JTAG-based field reprogrammability are valued. Although the FLEX 6000 family is now discontinued, the EPF6016AQC208-3 and its RoHS / lead-free variants remain in the supply chain for sustainment programs that cannot redesign legacy boards. Designers of new programs should migrate to a modern Cyclone IV GX or Arria II GX with equivalent logic capacity and a long-term supply commitment.

It provides 16,000 typical gates, 1,320 logic elements organized into 132 LABs, and 171 user I/O pins, all housed in a 208-pin BFQFP (PQFP) surface-mount package and built on a 5 V-tolerant CMOS process with a 3.3 V core supply. This part is now in the obsolete / last-time-buy lifecycle per Intel / Altera.
How many user I/O pins does the EPF6016AQC208-3 have?
The EPF6016AQC208-3 exposes 171 user I/O pins in the 208-pin BFQFP package. The remaining 37 pins are reserved for power (VCCINT, VCCIO, GND), configuration (nSTATUS, CONF_DONE, nCONFIG, MSELn), JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO), and dedicated clock / dev-clr / dev-oe inputs. This high I/O count makes it suitable for bus-bridging glue logic where many parallel signals must be aggregated.
What is the maximum internal operating frequency of the EPF6016AQC208-3?
According to the FLEX 6000 family datasheet, the EPF6016AQC208-3 supports a typical internal operating frequency up to approximately 142.86 MHz for the -3 speed grade. Actual system Fmax depends on logic depth, routing, and I/O register usage; designs should be timed with the Altera Quartus II timing analyzer for accurate path-by-path analysis.
Does the EPF6016AQC208-3 require an external configuration device?
Yes, the EPF6016AQC208-3 uses volatile SRAM configuration cells, so it must be reconfigured at every power-up by an external configuration PROM (such as an EPC1 or EPC2) or by a microprocessor over a serial/parallel interface. Supported modes include passive serial, passive parallel synchronous, passive parallel asynchronous, and JTAG, selectable via MSEL pins.
Is the EPF6016AQC208-3 RoHS compliant?
RoHS compliance for the EPF6016AQC208-3 is not explicitly confirmed in the current data and should be verified against the specific lot / manufacturer CoC. Some PQFP-package FLEX 6000 devices were originally released in non-RoHS (SnPb) finishes; later production runs and authorized distributors may offer RoHS-compliant variants - confirm before use in RoHS-required designs.
EPF6016AQC208-3 vs EPF6016AQC208-2 - what is the difference?
Both parts share the same die, the same 208-pin PQFP package, and identical logic capacity (16K gates, 1,320 LEs, 132 LABs, 171 I/O). The only difference is the speed grade: the -3 is the faster speed bin (typical Fmax ~142.86 MHz) while the -2 is slower. They are pin-to-pin drop-in compatible, so a design can substitute -2 for -3 only if timing closure still passes.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPF6016AQC208-3?
The closest drop-in alternatives are same-package EPF6016A family members such as the EPF6016AQC208-3N (lead-free / RoHS variant), EPF6016AQC208-2, EPF6016AQC208-2N, and EPF6016AQC208-1 - all in the same 208-PQFP footprint with identical logic capacity. For higher capacity, the EPF6024AQC208-3N (24K gates) is in the same 208-PQFP package and is pin-compatible at the package level but requires re-synthesizing the design for the larger device.
Is the EPF6016AQC208-3 still in production?
No, the EPF6016AQC208-3 is in the obsolete / last-time-buy lifecycle status. Intel / Altera has long since discontinued the FLEX 6000 family in favor of Cyclone and later device families. Remaining inventory is available only through authorized distributors and the secondary / broker market, with no guarantee of continued supply.
Where can I download the EPF6016AQC208-3 datasheet PDF?
The official FLEX 6000 family datasheet can be downloaded from Altera's archived literature at https://www.altera.com/literature/ds/dsf6000.pdf (cached at findic.us and similar archives). Search distributor listings on DigiKey or Mouser for the per-device datasheet if you need only the EPF6016ATC/QTC variants.
What is the pinout of the EPF6016AQC208-3?
The EPF6016AQC208-3 is housed in a 208-pin BFQFP (PQFP) package with pins numbered 1-208 counter-clockwise from the index mark. The full per-pin signal map (VCCINT, VCCIO, GND, JTAG TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO, nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE, MSEL0/1, CLK, DEV_CLRn, DEV_OE, and 171 user I/O) is published in the FLEX 6000 datasheet, Table 12 / pin tables.
Can a 5 V device drive the EPF6016AQC208-3 inputs directly?
Yes, the EPF6016AQC208-3 has 5 V tolerant inputs on a 3.3 V VCCIO rail, so legacy 5 V TTL peripherals can drive its I/O pins directly without external level shifters. Outputs, however, swing only to VCCIO (3.3 V) and should be level-translated if driving true 5 V TTL inputs that require VOH > 3.3 V.
How much does the EPF6016AQC208-3 cost?
As of 2026-09-11, distributor pricing for the EPF6016AQC208-3 is approximately $38.50 at qty 1, dropping to $19.20 at qty 1,000, reflecting its obsolete status and broker-market sourcing. Always request a fresh quote from authorized distributors because obsolete stock pricing fluctuates with remaining inventory.
Where to buy EPF6016AQC208-3 online?
You can buy the EPF6016AQC208-3 from authorized distributors and broker channels listed on Octopart (16 distributors reporting), including DigiKey, Mouser, Avnet, and Xecor, plus specialist brokers such as Avaq, Ampheo, and Jotrin. Because the part is obsolete, verify lot date code, RoHS status, and warranty terms before placing volume orders.
What is the lead time for the EPF6016AQC208-3?
Lead time for the obsolete EPF6016AQC208-3 is highly variable - factory-direct lead time is not applicable because the part is discontinued. Authorized distributors may ship immediately from on-hand stock, but broker / secondary-market orders can take 4-12 weeks depending on the supplier's sourcing pipeline. Always confirm lead time at order entry.
What design tool supports the EPF6016AQC208-3?
The EPF6016AQC208-3 is supported by Altera Quartus II (legacy / older versions) and the earlier MAX+PLUS II toolchain. Modern Quartus versions may no longer include the FLEX 6000 device family, so you typically need Quartus II v9.0 or earlier (or MAX+PLUS II) plus a legacy programming cable (ByteBlaster / ByteBlasterMV / USB-Blaster) for JTAG configuration.

انتخاب کی گائیڈ

Choose the EPF6016AQC208-3 when you need a 5 V-tolerant, 3.3 V core FPGA with 171 user I/O and 16K gates of glue-logic capacity in a 208-pin PQFP for industrial, telecom, or legacy-defense applications. If your build requires RoHS lead-free compliance, swap to the pin-compatible EPF6016AQC208-3N; if your design needs more logic headroom in the same footprint, use the EPF6024AQC208-3N (24K gates) and re-synthesize. If timing closure is failing, upgrade to the -3 speed grade before changing footprint or device family. For new designs where long-term availability matters, migrate to a modern Cyclone IV (EP4CE6 or EP4CE10) in QFP or BGA - but note that Cyclone IV is not 5 V tolerant and you will need level shifters on legacy interfaces.

ڈیزائن نوٹس

Estimated: at typical utilization (~80% LEs, 50% I/O toggling, 100 MHz operation), ICCINT is roughly 150-250 mA and ICCIO per bank is roughly 20-50 mA. Provide at least four 0.1 uF X7R decoupling capacitors near each VCCINT/VCCIO pin pair, plus a single 33 uF / 47 uF bulk tantalum or ceramic cap on each rail. Use a low-impedance 3.3 V plane rather than a thick trace to keep VCCINT within +/-5% under di/dt transients. Add a ferrite bead in series with VCCINT if the upstream switching regulator is also feeding other noisy loads on the same rail.

Estimated: with theta_JA of roughly 35 C/W for the 208-PQFP on a 4-layer 1-oz PCB and ambient of 70 C, full-rate operation of all 171 I/O at 100 MHz with 50 pF load can dissipate 1.0-1.4 W, pushing junction temperature near 110-120 C. For commercial-grade (0-85 C) designs this is acceptable margin, but derate the toggle rate or reduce load capacitance for industrial-temperature deployments. PQFP packages have a relatively high theta_JA compared to QFN/BGA equivalents - for thermal-constrained designs, consider a BGA variant (e.g., FLEX 6000 BGA) if your design can be migrated.

Follow Altera's PQFP layout guidelines: use 0.127 mm (5 mil) traces between PQFP leads, fan out to inner-layer power/ground planes within 6 mm of the package, and stitch the perimeter with a ground ring tied via 1.0 mm-pitch vias to the inner ground plane. Place configuration PROM (EPC2LC20) within 50 mm of the FPGA's DATA / DCLK pins to keep passive-serial configuration below the 200 MHz-DCLK upper limit. Keep JTAG chain signals (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO) short and add 10 kohm pull-ups on TMS and TDI per the JTAG IEEE 1149.1 recommendation.

Three common pitfalls with this part: (1) Forgetting that configuration is volatile - the device must see a valid configuration stream at every POR, otherwise I/O pins stay tri-stated with weak pull-ups. Tie nCONFIG to VCC through a 10 kohm resistor and CONF_DONE to VCC through a 10 kohm pull-up per the reference schematic. (2) Driving 5 V signals into an output instead of an input - the output stage is 3.3 V and cannot source 5 V. (3) Choosing -1 / -2 speed grade when timing closure at 100 MHz+ requires -3; always run Quartus II slow-corner timing analysis at 85 C / worst-case process before locking the speed grade.

The 208-PQFP lead pitch is 0.5 mm; at 100 MHz single-ended LVCMOS, controlled-impedance traces are not strictly required but keep stubs under 15 mm and add 22-33 ohm series damping on heavily-loaded clocks. For LVTTL outputs driving long backplane traces, add a 33 ohm source-termination resistor at the FPGA pin. Differential signals (e.g., clock inputs to global CLK pins) should be length-matched within 5 mm and routed over a continuous ground reference plane to minimize jitter; the EPF6016A supports LVDS inputs on dedicated clock pins only.
