EPF6016QC240-2 概覽

The Intel EPF6016QC240-2 is a FLEX 6000 family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) delivering 16,000 typical gates (with up to 24,000 maximum system gates), 1,320 logic elements distributed across 132 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), and 199 user I/Os, housed in a 240-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP / BFQFP) package. It is built on a 0.42 micrometer CMOS SRAM process with four layers of metal interconnect, supports a 5 V supply core, and is specified to operate over the commercial 0 to 85 degrees C temperature range.

An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a type of programmable logic device (PLD) that combines the density of a gate array with the flexibility of in-system programmability. Hierarchically, an FPGA sits above a CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device), below a structured ASIC, and within the broader family of programmable logic devices; FPGAs are widely used for glue logic, state-machine control, bus interfacing, and high-volume prototyping in lieu of gate arrays. The FLEX 6000 family was Altera's (now Intel) mid-density SRAM-based FPGA line, optimized for low-cost, high-volume gate-array replacement.

Key features include 16K typical gates, 199 user I/Os, 132 LABs with 10 Logic Elements (LEs) per LAB, a maximum internal frequency around 125 MHz, embedded FastTrack interconnect for predictable timing, and 5 V tolerant I/O. The IC operates on a single 5 V supply with separate VCCINT and VCCIO pins to support mixed I/O standards, and supports SRAM-based configuration that requires an external configuration device for stand-alone operation.

Architecturally, each LE contains a four-input look-up table (LUT), a programmable register, and a dedicated carry/ cascade chain. LABs combine 10 LEs with local interconnect, while the FastTrack row/column interconnect routes signals across the die. This design provides deterministic performance for synchronous logic and arithmetic operations such as counters and adders. The '2' speed grade indicates a moderately faster operating point than the base '3' speed grade within the family.

Typical applications include communications glue logic, industrial control interfaces, peripheral bus bridging, and embedded control subsystems where low-cost, high-volume gate array replacement is desired. Designers also deploy FLEX 6000 devices for prototype validation prior to ASIC tape-out, as the same HDL source can be retargeted without hardware rework.

When designing with the EPF6016QC240-2, ensure the configuration scheme (typically EPC2 or EPC1) is correctly selected and that JTAG pins (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) are accessible for in-system programming. Adequate decoupling near VCCINT and VCCIO pins is essential for the SRAM-based logic to operate reliably; follow the manufacturer's recommended power-pin capacitor arrangement in the datasheet.

🏭

Industrial Glue Logic and Bus Bridging

The EPF6016QC240-2 is widely used as glue logic in industrial control systems, where its 199 user I/Os and 1,320 logic elements can absorb multiple discrete 74-series logic functions into one programmable device. Its 5 V VCCINT core natively interfaces to legacy 5 V TTL buses without level shifters, and the 132 LABs provide ample logic capacity for state machines that orchestrate motor-control, sensor multiplexing, and peripheral bus bridging (e.g., parallel-to-ISA or ISA-to-I2C bridges). The PQFP-240 package exposes enough pins to drive 16+ parallel data channels plus interrupt and control lines. Engineers appreciate the device's deterministic FastTrack interconnect, which simplifies timing closure for industrial safety-critical control loops. It remains a popular choice for legacy equipment rebuilds and obsolescence-driven redesigns in factory automation.

🌐

Telecommunications Interface and Protocol Conversion

In telecom infrastructure, the EPF6016QC240-2 was historically deployed for protocol-conversion glue between legacy TDM buses, E1/T1 framers, and backplane serial links. Its 16K typical gates are sufficient to implement HDLC controllers, timeslot allocators, and UART banks with hardware handshaking. The 5 V tolerant I/O banks simplify interface to older telecom ASICs that operate at 5 V CMOS levels. The 240-pin PQFP package's high pin count accommodates 16+ timeslot data buses plus framing, clock, and alarm signals. Its SRAM-based configuration allows remote firmware upgrades via JTAG, an essential feature for deployed telecom hardware. For newer designs, designers migrate to Cyclone series, but existing TDM/PSTN equipment continues to rely on FLEX 6000 FPGAs.

🔧

ASIC Prototype and Pre-Tapeout Validation

Before committing an ASIC to silicon, design teams frequently prototype logic in FPGAs to validate functionality, throughput, and timing margins. The EPF6016QC240-2's 1,320 logic elements can host mid-complexity ASIC blocks such as DMA engines, memory controllers, and DSP data paths. Engineers map RTL via MAX+PLUS II synthesis to the FLEX 6000 architecture, run real workloads on prototype boards, and use the same HDL source to retarget the eventual ASIC. The 5 V VCCINT allows the FPGA to emulate 5 V ASIC I/O characteristics closely. PQFP-240's hand-solder-friendly gull-wing leads also make this part a favorite for low-volume engineering validation boards. This prototyping usage continues despite FLEX 6000 being obsolete because many legacy designs still maintain this FPGA on their validation bench.

🖥️

Legacy Embedded Control and Peripherals

Embedded control subsystems in legacy industrial PCs, point-of-sale terminals, and medical instrumentation often integrate the EPF6016QC240-2 as a custom peripheral controller. The device's 132 LABs deliver enough logic to implement multi-port serial controllers, keyboard/display interfaces, and custom interrupt controllers in a single chip. Its 199 I/Os are sufficient to drive 8-12 UART lines plus parallel printer ports and ISA bus interface logic. The 125 MHz internal clock rate supports real-time response for time-critical peripherals. Engineers continue to specify FLEX 6000 in long-life-cycle products because the part remains available from distributors and broker channels, even though the FLEX 6000 family is no longer in active production. The 0 to 85 C commercial temperature range covers most indoor embedded use cases.

📺

Test and Measurement Front-End Logic

Test and measurement instruments such as logic analyzers, protocol testers, and ATE fixtures historically used the EPF6016QC240-2 to capture, route, and pre-process high-speed digital signals before handing them to a host processor. The 199 I/Os allow parallel sampling of 32+ channels at once, and the 132 LABs provide state-machine-based sequencer logic that triggers on user-defined patterns. The 5 V VCCINT core is convenient for interfacing to legacy TTL probe pods. Designers appreciate the deterministic interconnect, which makes timing margins easy to calculate for capture windows. Although newer instruments have migrated to Cyclone or Kintex FPGAs, many ATE platforms built in the late 1990s and early 2000s still rely on FLEX 6000 devices. The PQFP-240 footprint also simplifies thermal management with a clip-on heatsink.

💊

Medical Imaging Pipeline Front-End

Older medical imaging modalities (ultrasound front-ends, MRI gradient controllers) leverage the EPF6016QC240-2 for channel multiplexing, beamforming pre-processing, and timing-critical data routing. The 1,320 logic elements provide ample capacity for 16-channel TGC (time-gain compensation) controllers in ultrasound. The 5 V I/O tolerance is ideal for interfacing to legacy analog front-end ADCs that operate at 5 V CMOS levels. The 240-pin PQFP package accommodates 32+ analog-input mux lines plus digital control, clock distribution, and high-speed data outputs to the image-processing ASIC. While modern ultrasound has migrated to Cyclone/Stratix families, FLEX 6000-equipped imaging systems remain in service at hospitals worldwide, supported by service contracts and certified replacement-parts channels.

The only difference between EPF6016QC240-2 and EPF6016QC240-3 is speed grade. The '2' suffix indicates a faster speed grade than '3' per Altera/Intel FLEX 6000 datasheet ordering information. Both share the same 240-pin PQFP package, 16K gates, 1,320 logic elements, and 199 user I/Os, making them pin-compatible drop-in alternatives.
What is a drop-in replacement for EPF6016QC240-2 in the same PQFP-240 package?
Pin-compatible drop-in replacements for the EPF6016QC240-2 in the same 240-pin PQFP package include the EPF6016QC240-3 (same family, slower speed grade) and the EPF6016QC240-2N (lead-free / industrial variant). According to Altera FLEX 6000 ordering information, all three parts share the identical QFP-240 footprint and pinout.
What is the operating voltage of the EPF6016QC240-2?
The EPF6016QC240-2 operates on a 5 V VCCINT supply for the core logic, with separate VCCIO pins to support mixed-voltage I/O standards. According to the FLEX 6000 datasheet, VCCINT must be held within the 4.75 V to 5.25 V range for commercial operation. Multi-voltage I/O requires proper sequencing on power-up.
How do I configure the EPF6016QC240-2 at power-up?
The EPF6016QC240-2 is SRAM-based and must be configured at every power-up via the serial or parallel configuration interface using an external EPC configuration device such as EPC2 or EPC1. According to the FLEX 6000 datasheet, configuration data can also be loaded via JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) using TDI, TDO, TMS, and TCK pins for in-system programming.
What is the package of EPF6016QC240-2?
The EPF6016QC240-2 is offered in a 240-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP / BFQFP) with gull-wing leads for surface-mount assembly. According to Altera/Intel ordering information, the 'QC' suffix in the part number denotes the PQFP-240 package. Package dimensions and pinout are documented in the FLEX 6000 device family datasheet.
Where can I buy the EPF6016QC240-2 today?
The EPF6016QC240-2 can be purchased from authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and Octopart-listed resellers. According to Octopart listing data, 16 distributors currently report stock for this part. Prices as of 2026-09-11 typically range from around 18 USD at 1000 pieces to over 38 USD at qty 1, reflecting obsolete-stock pricing.
What is the lead time for EPF6016QC240-2 orders?
Lead time for EPF6016QC240-2 orders varies because the part is obsolete and relies on remaining distributor and broker stock. According to Octopart inventory data, in-stock quantities ship same-day from authorized distributors, while broker-sourced parts may require 2-6 weeks for delivery. Quoting is recommended for large-quantity orders.
How does EPF6016QC240-2 compare to EPF6016AQC208-2?
Both parts share the FLEX 6000 architecture and 16K typical gates, but differ in package and I/O count. The EPF6016QC240-2 offers 240 pins with 199 user I/Os, while the EPF6016AQC208-2 offers 208 pins with fewer user I/Os. According to FLEX 6000 datasheet, these are NOT pin-compatible due to differing package pin counts.
Can a Xilinx FPGA be a drop-in replacement for EPF6016QC240-2?
No Xilinx FPGA is a drop-in replacement for the EPF6016QC240-2 because Altera/Intel and Xilinx use different toolchains, configuration schemes, and I/O bank architectures. Cross-brand FPGA migration typically requires PCB redesign and HDL retargeting, not just a part swap. According to cross-reference guides, functional equivalents like Xilinx XC4000-series are NOT pin-compatible.
What software toolchain programs the EPF6016QC240-2?
The EPF6016QC240-2 is programmed using the legacy Altera MAX+PLUS II or Quartus II toolchain, both of which support the FLEX 6000 family. According to Intel/Altera documentation, MAX+PLUS II provides the most direct FLEX 6000 support while Quartus II offers migration paths. Designers should target VHDL or Verilog HDL for portability.

選型指南

Choose the EPF6016QC240-2 when you need the highest I/O count (199 user I/Os) in the FLEX 6000 family, a faster speed grade (-2) for timing-critical designs, and commercial temperature range (0-85 C). Choose the EPF6016QC240-3 if your design runs at 50 MHz or below and cost is more important than Fmax headroom. Choose the EPF6016QC240-2N if you need industrial temperature grading (-40 C to 85 C) for outdoor or factory-floor installations - it shares the same PQFP-240 footprint. Avoid migrating to Xilinx XC4000 series parts because the toolchain, configuration memory, and pinout differ. For new designs, evaluate the Intel Cyclone series instead, as the FLEX 6000 family is obsolete. All three Intel drop-in alternatives (EPF6016QC240-3, EPF6016QC240-2N, EPF6016QC240) reuse the same PCB layout and configuration memory interface.

主要差異化特點

  • Highest I/O count in FLEX 6000 family (對比EPF6016AQC208-2 (208-pin PQFP variant))
  • Faster speed grade vs -3 variant (對比EPF6016QC240-3)
  • Wider temperature range vs base part (對比EPF6016QC240-2N)

設計說明

Estimated: The EPF6016QC240-2 draws approximately 200-400 mA on VCCINT (5 V) depending on logic utilization and clock frequency. Place 0.1 microfarad ceramic decoupling capacitors as close as possible to every VCCINT pin (typically 9 pins distributed around the QFP-240 package), plus a single 10 microfarad tantalum bulk capacitor near the FPGA's center. VCCIO pins (separate I/O bank supplies) should each have their own 0.1 microfarad decoupling cap. Power sequencing is not strictly required for the FLEX 6000 family because there is no separate PLL supply, but VCCINT should ramp monotonically to within the 4.75 V to 5.25 V range within 100 ms.

The 240-pin PQFP package has a 32 mm x 32 mm body with 0.5 mm pitch gull-wing leads, requiring careful PCB layout for reliable assembly. Use a 4-layer PCB with dedicated ground and power planes, and route all 240 signals out of the inner ring without vias where possible. Maintain at least 8 mil trace widths to accommodate the fine pitch. The exposed lead frame should have a continuous ground plane underneath (with proper thermal relief) to provide RF grounding and thermal dissipation. JTAG signals (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) should be routed with 4-8 mil traces and guarded by ground to support boundary-scan testing.

Configuration failure is the most common EPF6016QC240-2 design pitfall: because the part is SRAM-based, it requires an external configuration device (EPC1, EPC2, or compatible) loaded with the bitstream at every power-up. A missing or wrong configuration memory will leave all I/Os in high-impedance state, mimicking a dead chip. JTAG pins must be accessible for in-system programming. Also, ensure nCONFIG, nSTATUS, and CONF_DONE signals are properly pulled up; if any of these is floating, the FPGA will fail to enter user mode. Designers new to FLEX 6000 often forget that the device does NOT retain configuration through power cycles and must be reloaded each power-up.
