EPF6016ATI144-2 Overview

The Altera EPF6016ATI144-2 is a member of the FLEX 6000 family of SRAM-based programmable logic devices, providing 16K typical gates (1,320 logic elements/registers), 117 user I/O pins, and a maximum internal clock frequency of 153 MHz in a 144-pin TQFP package. It is fabricated on a 0.42 µm CMOS process and operates from a single 3.3 V supply (3.0 V to 3.6 V) with 5.0 V tolerant I/O.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a type of programmable logic device (PLD) that combines an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable routing, and I/O cells on a single die. Within the broader semiconductor hierarchy, an FPGA belongs to the digital logic IC family, alongside ASICs, CPLDs, and microcontrollers, and is favored for medium-volume glue-logic, prototyping, and pre-ASIC validation. The FLEX 6000 family specifically targets low-cost, register-rich, LUT-based designs as an alternative to gate arrays.

Key features include OptiFLEX architecture with embedded memory blocks, four dedicated clock inputs and a global clock network, JTAG (IEEE Std 1149.1) boundary-scan support, in-system programmability via the serial configuration EPROM interface, and per-pin 5.0 V tolerance with PCI-clamp diodes. The -2 speed grade is the mid-tier offering of the family, sitting between the -1 (slowest) and -3 (fastest) grades.

The EPF6016ATI144-2 is built on a 0.42 µm SRAM cell, providing volatile configuration that must be loaded at every power-up from an external EPROM or microcontroller. The -A speed/power descriptor denotes the industrial temperature grade (-40 °C to 100 °C) in the TQFP-144 footprint, and the I indicates an industrial temperature range variant.

Typical applications include industrial control glue logic, PCI interface bridges, telecommunications line cards, and prototyping for ASIC designs. The high I/O count (117) makes it well-suited for bus-intensive designs such as 32-bit microprocessor interfaces. It is also widely used in legacy telecom backplane designs where long-term availability and pin compatibility with the FLEX 6000 family are required.

When designing with this device, ensure that a configuration EPROM (such as EPC2 or EPC8) is used because the SRAM cells are volatile, and verify that the Quartus II / MAX+PLUS II toolchain (legacy support) supports the targeted -2 speed grade. Designers migrating from -2 to -3 grades must re-time their designs, as internal delays scale with the speed grade.
