EPF6024AQI240-1 Overview

The Altera (Intel) EPF6024AQI240-1 is a member of the FLEX 6000 programmable logic device family, delivering approximately 24,000 typical gates (USABLE gates up to 19,600) in a 240-pin Power Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package with industrial temperature grade (-40C to +85C). The device features 4 dedicated inputs, 199 user I/O lines, and supports a maximum clock frequency of 172 MHz, targeting glue-logic, bus-interface, and peripheral bridging applications.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device built around an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and programmable I/O cells, allowing designers to implement custom digital circuits after fabrication. FPGAs sit above ASICs and CPLDs in flexibility: they offer higher logic density than CPLDs while remaining re-programmable, making them ideal for prototyping, low-volume production, and applications where standards or protocols may evolve. The FLEX 6000 family specifically targets cost-sensitive glue-logic and bus-interface designs with SRAM-based configuration.

Key features of the EPF6024AQI240-1 include 4 dedicated input pins, 199 bidirectional I/O pins, on-chip SRAM-based configuration memory, JTAG-based IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan test support, and multi-voltage I/O support for interfacing with 3.3V and 5.0V devices. The 240-pin PQFP package uses a 0.500 mm terminal pitch and provides a fine-pitch surface-mount form factor suitable for moderate-density designs.

The device is built on a CMOS SRAM process and is configured via a serial configuration EPROM or microprocessor interface. Its 4-input look-up table (LUT)-based logic elements and FastTrack interconnect deliver predictable timing with pin-to-pin logic delays in the low nanosecond range, enabling high-speed state machines and datapath functions.

Typical applications include PCI bus interfaces, peripheral bridging, DSP co-processing front-ends, telecommunications line-card glue logic, and industrial control system integration. Its 199 I/O make it well suited to wide-bus multiplexing and protocol conversion.

When designing with this FPGA, ensure proper decoupling (0.1 uF ceramic per VCC pin group), adherence to the multi-voltage I/O sequencing requirements, and provision for a configuration EPROM or microcontroller-based configuration loader. Industrial-grade parts require careful thermal management in enclosed enclosures.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in same-family alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone, providing a single reference for engineers evaluating or maintaining legacy FLEX 6000 designs.
