EPF6024AQI208-4 Overview

The Altera (formerly Altera, now part of Intel) EPF6024AQI208-4 is a member of the FLEX 6000 family of Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices, providing approximately 24,000 logic gates in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package. It is built on a CMOS SRAM process and offers 1960 logic elements (LEs) with 171 configurable I/O pins and 4 dedicated inputs, targeting glue-logic, bus-interface, and peripheral bridging applications that were mainstream in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a type of programmable logic device (PLD) that contains an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) connected via programmable interconnect, allowing designers to implement custom digital circuits after manufacturing. FPGAs sit in the taxonomy as: PLD -> programmable logic -> FPGA -> SRAM-based FPGA -> FLEX 6000 family. Compared to CPLDs, FPGAs offer higher logic density and richer register-rich architectures but lose non-volatility, requiring an external configuration memory (typically an EPC2 or similar serial PROM).

Key features include 1960 logic elements organized as logic array blocks (LABs), embedded memory blocks, and a maximum clock frequency of 153 MHz. The device supports in-system programming via the FLEX 6000 configuration scheme, supports JTAG boundary-scan testing, and provides tri-state bus-friendly I/O with individually programmable slew-rate and drive-strength control per pin.

The FLEX 6000 architecture employs a four-input LUT-based logic element, FastTrack interconnect for predictable timing, and a continuous routing structure that simplifies place-and-route. Configuration bitstream loads from a serial EPROM or microprocessor interface, and the device supports passive parallel, passive serial, and JTAG configuration modes.

Typical applications include PCI bridge logic, legacy peripheral controllers, telecom line-card glue logic, industrial control boards, and replacement of discrete 74-series TTL/MSI gate arrays in long-lifecycle systems. The wide 171 I/O count suits bus-intensive designs.

When designing with this FPGA, ensure configuration storage is provisioned and verify the speed grade (-4) matches timing closure requirements for the target logic. The -4 speed grade is one of the slower grades; newer logic designs should be verified against timing analysis.
