EPF6024AQC240-3N Overview

The Intel (Altera) EPF6024AQC240-3N is a member of the FLEX 6000 programmable logic device family, delivering 24,000 gates and 1,960 logic cells in a 240-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package. It features 199 user I/Os, a 3.3V core supply, and a maximum clock frequency of 133 MHz, manufactured on a 0.42 µm CMOS process with the OptiFLEX architecture that minimizes die size while preserving high performance and signal routability.

A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a type of programmable logic device (PLD) that allows designers to implement custom digital circuits through configuration of an array of logic blocks, embedded memory, and programmable interconnect. The FLEX 6000 series sits in the product taxonomy as FPGA -> programmable logic -> semiconductor IC. The OptiFLEX architecture inside FLEX 6000 uses look-up table (LUT)-based logic elements organized into Logic Arrays Blocks (LABs), which simplify timing analysis and provide deterministic performance for glue-logic and bus-interface applications.

Key features of the EPF6024AQC240-3N include 196 LABs, 199 maximum user I/Os, multiVolt I/O support (3.3V and 5.0V tolerant outputs with appropriate pull-ups), 5.0V CMOS input compatibility when VCCIO is tied to 3.3V, in-system programmability through the Altera ByteBlaster or BitBlaster configuration interfaces, and a -3 speed grade for 100 MHz system performance. The PQFP-240 footprint supports surface-mount assembly with standard JEDEC-compliant handling.

From an architectural standpoint, the device integrates each logic element as a 4-input LUT with a programmable register, and each LAB groups 16 logic elements with control signals for fast carry chains and cascade chains. The interconnect is a continuous, fast-path routing network with low-skew clock distribution, enabling predictable timing closure at the rated 133 MHz fmax. The configuration memory is SRAM-based, requiring external configuration storage on every power-up.

Typical applications include industrial control glue logic, telecom interface bridging, peripheral bus arbitration, legacy ASIC replacement, prototyping of custom gate arrays, and high-volume cost-sensitive designs where the FLEX 6000 family targets gate-array price points. The wide I/O count also makes the part suitable for memory-mapped interfaces between microprocessors and peripherals.

When designing with this FPGA, ensure that the configuration device (e.g., EPC2 or compatible serial EEPROM) is properly selected for SRAM-based FLEX 6000 devices, and verify that the JTAG chain includes the EPF6024AQC240-3N for boundary-scan testing. Designers migrating to newer Intel/Altera Cyclone families must consider that the FLEX 6000 is a legacy product and should plan for long-term availability before committing to new designs.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in same-package alternatives from the FLEX 6000 family, and practical design considerations not collected in a single place in the manufacturer datasheet, supporting both new designs and long-life maintenance of legacy systems.
