EPF6016ATI100-2N Overview

The Intel/Altera EPF6016ATI100-2N is a member of the FLEX 6000 family of SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), delivering approximately 16,000 usable gates in a 100-pin TQFP (Thin Quad Flat Pack) package. The device is built on a 0.42 um CMOS SRAM process and contains 1,320 logic elements (LEs) organized into 132 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), with 81 user I/O pins and an internal maximum operating frequency of approximately 166.67 MHz at a 3.3 V core supply. It supports in-system configuration via a JTAG-compatible boundary-scan interface and provides setup times as low as 2 ns with 0 ns hold time for high-speed sequential logic.

An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a type of integrated circuit containing an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and I/O cells that can be reconfigured by the designer after manufacturing. FPGAs sit between fixed-function ASICs and software-programmable processors in the design hierarchy, offering hardware-level parallelism without the NRE cost of an ASIC. The FLEX 6000 family specifically targets low-cost, high-volume glue logic, control, and bus-interface applications where fast design changes during development are required.

Key features of the EPF6016ATI100-2N include 81 user I/Os, JTAG BST (Boundary-Scan Test) support, slew-rate control on output buffers, tri-state buffer capability per I/O, and dedicated clock networks. The LABs each contain 10 LEs, and the FastTrack interconnect provides predictable timing paths between LABs. I/O pins can drive LE registers directly via the row and column interconnect, simplifying timing closure for high-speed state machines and FIFO controllers.

Architecturally, the device combines a fine-grained LE structure with row/column interconnect routing, allowing automatic place-and-route via the MAX+PLUS II or Quartus design tools. The 0.42 um SRAM process supports 5.0 V tolerant I/Os when the device is powered at 3.3 V, useful for mixed-voltage bus bridging between legacy 5 V peripherals and 3.3 V processors.

Typical applications include bus bridging between microprocessors and peripherals, custom peripheral glue logic in embedded systems, ASIC prototyping, state-machine controllers, and pre-production design validation. The wide I/O count supports 8/16/32-bit data buses with handshake signals.

When designing, ensure the configuration EPROM (such as an EPC2 or EPC8) is correctly sized for the bitstream, and observe 3.3 V supply decoupling with at least 0.1 uF ceramic capacitors near each VCC pin to maintain signal integrity on the JTAG and high-speed I/O lines.

Key Differentiators

  • Industrial temperature grade 0C to 85C (vs EPF6016ATC100-2N)
  • Identical silicon footprint with -N JTAG ID suffix (vs EPF6016ATI100-2)
  • Highest gate density in the 100-pin TQFP FLEX 6000 family (vs EPF6010ATI100-2)

Design Notes

Estimated: at 166.67 MHz toggle rate on 50% of 1,320 LEs, the EPF6016ATI100-2N draws approximately 150-250 mA from VCCINT (3.3 V), so design the 3.3 V regulator for at least 500 mA peak headroom. Place a 100 uF bulk capacitor plus 0.1 uF and 10 uF ceramic decoupling capacitors near each VCCINT pin to suppress switching-current spikes during logic transitions. Sequence VCCINT before VCCIO to avoid I/O latch-up during power-up.

Route the JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, TRST) as a daisy-chain with 4.7 kohm pull-ups on TCK/TMS/TDI/TRST to VCCIO; keep traces short and avoid splitting the JTAG chain with stubs to ensure reliable boundary-scan testing. The 100-pin TQFP package has 0.5 mm pitch leads; use a 4-layer PCB with continuous ground plane beneath the device to provide low-impedance return paths for high-speed I/O transitions and minimize EMI.

Do not leave MSEL0/MSEL1 floating; tie them to VCCINT or GND through 10 kohm resistors to select the correct configuration mode (AS, PS, JTAG). Ensure the configuration EPROM (EPC2 or EPC8) is sized for the bitstream; an undersized EPROM causes CONF_DONE to never assert. After configuration, drive DEV_OE high before driving DEV_CLRn high to avoid spurious output transitions on user I/Os.

The 100-pin TQFP package has a theta_JA of approximately 35-40 C/W without airflow; at 250 mA VCCINT current the device dissipates approximately 0.8 W, resulting in a 32 C junction temperature rise above ambient. For sealed enclosures without airflow, derate the operating temperature or migrate to the EPF6016AFC100-2 (lower-power FLEX 6000A variant) to maintain thermal margin.
