EPF6016ATC100-1 Overview

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPF6016ATC100-1 is a FLEX 6000 family Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) containing approximately 16,000 gates, packaged in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) surface-mount package. The device integrates 1,320 logic elements (LEs) organized into 132 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) and provides 81 user I/O pins with an internal operating frequency up to 172 MHz, making it well suited for glue-logic, bus-interface, and high-volume gate-array replacement designs.

A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a type of programmable logic device (PLD) that contains an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and I/O cells, all of which can be reconfigured by the end user after manufacture. FPGAs sit in the broader hierarchy of digital integrated circuits as programmable logic -> logic ICs -> integrated circuits -> semiconductors. The FLEX 6000 family specifically targets low-cost, high-volume applications where the design flexibility of an FPGA is required but the very high gate counts of larger FLEX 10K or APEX families are unnecessary.

Key features of the EPF6016ATC100-1 include 1,320 LEs distributed across 132 LABs, 81 available user I/O pins, an internal clock frequency ceiling of 172 MHz, in-system programmability via SRAM configuration cells, and multi-voltage I/O support. The "ATC" speed grade and -1 temperature suffix designate a commercial-temperature device (0°C to +85°C) in the standard AC speed bin, while the "100" package code indicates the 100-TQFP footprint. The device operates from a 3.3 V core supply and supports 5.0 V tolerant I/O, simplifying interface to legacy TTL logic.

Architecturally, the FLEX 6000 family employs a continuous interconnect structure called the FastTrack that links every LAB to every other LAB through horizontal and vertical routing segments, providing predictable and fast signal propagation. Each LAB contains 10 LEs with a local interconnect, and each LE contains a 4-input look-up table (LUT), a programmable flip-flop, and dedicated carry/control logic for arithmetic and counter applications. The device stores its configuration in SRAM cells, which means it must be reconfigured at every power-up from a serial ROM or microcontroller.

Typical applications for the EPF6016ATC100-1 include bus-bridging between microprocessors and peripherals, glue-logic replacement in telecommunications backplanes, custom state machines in industrial controllers, peripheral interface adapters, and prototyping of gate-array designs prior to ASIC conversion. Because the FLEX 6000 family was originally positioned as a low-cost programmable alternative to mask-programmed gate arrays, the EPF6016ATC100-1 is most often seen in legacy 3.3 V designs or as a hardware-revision-friendly replacement for discrete TTL/CMOS logic boards.

When designing with this part, the engineer must allocate a configuration memory device (EPC2 or compatible) because the SRAM-based configuration is volatile. Additionally, all unused I/O pins should be left floating or driven to a defined state, and the JTAG chain should be considered for boundary-scan test access. The 100-TQFP package has a 14 mm x 14 mm body and is suitable for standard surface-mount assembly lines.
