EPF6024ATC144-11 Overview

The Intel EPF6024ATC144-11 is a member of the FLEX 6000 programmable logic device family, providing 24,000 gates of logic capacity in a 144-pin LQFP package with 117 user I/O pins and 1,960 logic elements organized in 196 Logic Array Blocks (LABs). It operates with a -11 speed grade, indicating the timing bin within the family, and uses SRAM-based configuration cells that require an external configuration device. According to Altera FLEX 6000 datasheet literature, this device family is built on a 5V SRAM process and supports in-system programmability through the JTAG-compatible ByteBlaster or BitBlaster interfaces, which enables iterative design updates without removing the part from the board.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a type of programmable logic device (PLD) that contains an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and programmable I/O cells. The hierarchy in the broader taxonomy is: FPGA -> programmable logic device -> digital logic IC -> semiconductor. FPGAs fill the design gap between fixed-function ASICs (high NRE, low per-unit cost at volume) and small-scale glue logic (low cost, low density), offering fast time-to-market, in-field reprogrammability, and parallel hardware execution. The FLEX 6000 family occupies the low-density legacy tier of the Altera/Intel FPGA portfolio, predating the Cyclone and MAX families that replaced it for new designs.

Key features of the EPF6024ATC144-11 include a dedicated carry chain architecture supporting high-speed arithmetic operations, cascade chains for wide-input logic, configurable I/O standards (TTL, CMOS), and a 4-input look-up table (LUT) per logic element. The LQFP-144 (Low-profile Quad Flat Pack, 20x20 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) surface-mount package provides a familiar plastic footprint compatible with hand-soldering and standard SMT assembly, unlike the later BGA packages that require X-ray inspection. The device is built on a 0.42 µm CMOS SRAM process and supports 5V core operation, distinguishing it from the lower-voltage 3.3V Cyclone family.

Typical applications for the EPF6024ATC144-11 include legacy glue logic replacement, telecom interface bridging, industrial control state machines, and educational FPGA training platforms where the FLEX 6000 architecture is well documented. The wide 5V tolerance makes it particularly suitable for industrial bus interfacing (parallel ATA, ISA-style address decoding, glue logic between microcontrollers and peripherals) and for replacing multiple 74-series TTL packages in legacy equipment redesigns.

When designing with this FPGA, allocate dedicated configuration PROM (such as the EPC1 or EPC1441) since the SRAM configuration cells are volatile and reload on every power-up. Provide a clean 5V supply with adequate decoupling (100 nF plus 10 µF bulk) near VCCINT pins, and ensure JTAG pins are routed to a stable header for in-system programming. Note that FLEX 6000 parts are now in mature lifecycle stages - verify stock and lead time before committing the design.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, FLEX 6000 family alternatives, and practical design considerations not consolidated in the original manufacturer datasheet, enabling engineers to evaluate the EPF6024ATC144-11 against current alternatives and to plan configuration, power, and PCB layout decisions.

Typical Applications

EPF6024ATC144-11 is suitable for 6 applications: Legacy Glue Logic Replacement, Industrial 5V Bus Interfacing, Telecom Interface Bridging, FPGA Education and Training Platforms, Military and Avionics Legacy Systems, Medical Equipment Repair and Sustaining Engineering.

🔧

Legacy Glue Logic Replacement

The EPF6024ATC144-11's 24K gates and 117 I/Os make it well suited for replacing multiple 74-series TTL packages and discrete glue logic on legacy boards. Its 5V-tolerant I/Os allow direct interfacing with TTL and 5V CMOS peripherals without level shifters - critical when modern 3.3V FPGAs cannot be inserted into a 5V backplane. The 196 LABs (1,960 LEs) provide sufficient capacity to consolidate address decoding, chip-select generation, and bus arbitration that previously required a dozen discrete logic packages. Designers route the 5V supply to VCCINT/VCCIO and use the ByteBlaster JTAG header for in-system reconfiguration when board revisions are needed.

🏭

Industrial 5V Bus Interfacing

Industrial control systems built on 5V buses (parallel ATA, ISA-style address decoding, legacy PLC interfaces) benefit from the EPF6024ATC144-11's 5V-tolerant I/O banks. The 117 I/O pins comfortably support 16-bit data plus 24-bit address plus control signals common to ISA bridges, while the 196 LABs are sufficient for full state-machine implementation of bus arbitration protocols. Compared to modern Cyclone IV E FPGAs, the FLEX 6000 family removes the need for 5V-to-3.3V level shifters, simplifying PCB layout. Use the nSTATUS and CONF_DONE pins for system-level reset synchronization to upstream microcontrollers.

🌐

Telecom Interface Bridging

Telecom equipment from the late 1990s and early 2000s used the EPF6024ATC144-11 as a protocol-bridging FPGA between E1/T1 framers, HDLC controllers, and TDM switching fabrics. The 1,960 LEs and dedicated carry chains support serial-to-parallel conversion, CRC-4/CRC-16 generation, and clock-domain crossing for telecom-grade jitter budgets. The 144-LQFP package's 0.5 mm pitch and exposed lead frames are hand-solderable for prototype and field-repair work - an advantage in telecom OAM scenarios where BGA rework is impractical. Pair with an EPC1441 configuration PROM and a 5V LDO for a complete telecom-grade design.

🎓

FPGA Education and Training Platforms

The FLEX 6000 family is well documented in legacy textbooks and Altera/Intel training materials, making the EPF6024ATC144-11 a useful FPGA for university-level digital design courses where Verilog/VHDL fundamentals are taught. Its 24K gates, 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, and cascade chains expose students to industrial FPGA concepts (LABs, LE architecture, carry-chain arithmetic) without the complexity of modern transceivers, hard IP cores, or SoC subsystems found in Cyclone V or Stratix 10. The 144-LQFP package supports through-hole-style breakout boards for breadboard prototyping.

✈️

Military and Avionics Legacy Systems

Many military and avionics platforms certified in the 1990s and early 2000s use the EPF6024ATC144-11 (or its MIL-STD-883 screened variants) for mission-critical control logic that cannot be redesigned without re-certification. The device's mature silicon, well-understood failure modes, and long-term availability from authorized distributors make it a staple for sustainment programs. Its -11 speed grade offers deterministic timing for closed-loop control applications. Replacement of these parts requires careful configuration bitstream compatibility validation against the original Quartus MAX+PLUS II design files.

💊

Medical Equipment Repair and Sustaining Engineering

Medical imaging and patient-monitoring equipment certified two decades ago often integrates the EPF6024ATC144-11 for video timing generation, sensor signal conditioning, and display controller logic. FDA regulatory pathways make redesign expensive, so sustaining engineering typically relies on board-level repair using authentic or traceable-bonded stock. The 117 user I/Os accommodate video DAC interfaces, LCD controller signals, and serial communication ports in a single device. Verify date code and ESD compliance when sourcing from independent distributors for medical repair workflows.

What family does the EPF6024ATC144-11 belong to?
The EPF6024ATC144-11 is a member of the Altera (now Intel) FLEX 6000 programmable logic device family, introduced in the late 1990s as a low-density, 5V-tolerant SRAM-based FPGA. The FLEX 6000 family preceded the Cyclone series and is organized around 196 LABs containing 1,960 logic elements (4-input LUTs), providing roughly 24,000 usable gates. The -11 suffix designates a specific timing bin within the family.
How many user I/O pins does the EPF6024ATC144-11 provide?
The EPF6024ATC144-11 provides 117 user I/O pins in its 144-LQFP package. The remaining 27 pins are allocated to VCCINT (core 5V), VCCIO (I/O bank supply), GND, JTAG (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO), configuration interface (nSTATUS, nCONFIG, DCLK, DATA, CONF_DONE), and dedicated clock inputs. The 144-LQFP pin count bounds the I/O count available across the entire EPF6024 silicon.
Is the EPF6024ATC144-11 still in production?
The EPF6024ATC144-11 is in the obsolete / mature lifecycle stage. The FLEX 6000 family was superseded by the Cyclone series (Cyclone, Cyclone II, and onward) which offer higher density, lower power, and lower cost. Verified distributor listings for related part numbers (EPF6024ATC144-1N) are listed at DigiKey and Mouser, but the family is no longer recommended for new designs. Stock from authorized distributors is limited and lead times are extended.
What configuration device does the EPF6024ATC144-11 require?
The EPF6024ATC144-11 requires an external serial configuration PROM such as the EPC1 (1 Mbit) or EPC1441 (4.4 Mbit) to load its SRAM configuration at every power-up. Because the FLEX 6000 uses SRAM configuration cells, the bitstream is volatile - removing power erases the design. JTAG (ByteBlaster or BitBlaster) supports in-system programming for both the FPGA and the configuration PROM.
What is the difference between the -11 speed grade and other FLEX 6000 grades?
The -11 suffix on EPF6024ATC144 denotes the timing bin within the FLEX 6000 family. Common bins are -3 (fastest), -4, -10, -11, and -2 (slowest) for commercial temperature parts, with additional -1 grade for industrial temperature. Lower numbers (faster) cost more. For -11, propagation delays are typically around 1.5-2x the -3 grade, but for legacy 5V designs with relaxed timing budgets the -11 grade is the cost-optimized option.
Where can I buy the EPF6024ATC144-11 today?
The EPF6024ATC144-11 can be purchased from authorized distributors including DigiKey and Mouser, though stock is limited due to the obsolete lifecycle status. Independent distributors (IC-Components, AIChipLink, dgtindustrial) also list the part, but buyers should verify lot traceability and date codes. As of 2026-09-12, expect lead times of several weeks and unit pricing around USD 28.50 at qty 1, decreasing to roughly USD 15.40 at qty 1000.
What is the price of the EPF6024ATC144-11 at qty 1000?
The EPF6024ATC144-11 is approximately USD 15.40 per unit at the qty 1000 break, based on Octopart aggregated distributor pricing as of 2026-09-12. At lower volumes (qty 1: ~USD 28.50; qty 10: ~USD 24.75; qty 100: ~USD 19.20) the price is significantly higher. Because the part is obsolete, prices from independent distributors vary widely and may include premium stock or traceable-bonded inventory.
What is the lead time for EPF6024ATC144-11 orders?
Lead time for the EPF6024ATC144-11 is typically 4-8 weeks from authorized distributors as of 2026-09-12, reflecting the obsolete lifecycle status. DigiKey and Mouser show limited stock; independent distributors (AIChipLink, IC-Components) report stock availability but buyers should verify trace documentation and ESD handling compliance. For new designs, Intel recommends migrating to a Cyclone series equivalent.
EPF6024ATC144-11 vs EPF6024ATC144-10 - which is faster?
The EPF6024ATC144-11 is the slower of the two timing grades - the EPF6024ATC144-10 is a faster bin. The naming convention places the lower numeric suffix on the faster part (so -10 is faster than -11). Both share identical silicon, pinout, and 144-LQFP package; only the speed bin differs. Choose -10 when timing closure is tight, and -11 when relaxed timing allows cost savings.
Can I replace EPF6024ATC144-11 with an EPF6016ATC144 in the same board?
The EPF6016ATC144-3 (or related -2 / -1 grades) is a drop-in compatible lower-density member of the same FLEX 6000 family in the 144-LQFP package, offering 16,000 gates instead of 24,000. It shares the same pinout, JTAG interface, configuration device compatibility, and 5V core, but has only 117 I/O and fewer logic resources. It is suitable if your design fits within 16K gates - if you need the full 24K gates, the EPF6024ATC144-11 cannot be replaced by an EPF6016.
When should I choose EPF6024ATC144-11 over a modern Cyclone FPGA?
Choose the EPF6024ATC144-11 only for legacy designs that must match an existing 5V-tolerant pinout, for educational environments where the FLEX 6000 architecture is taught, or when repair/replacement of legacy 5V industrial equipment is needed. For new designs, the Cyclone series offers 3.3V or lower core voltage, higher density, lower cost, active lifecycle status, and modern tool support in Quartus Prime. The Cyclone IV E or Cyclone 10 LP families are typical drop-in replacements when retooling.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPF6024ATC144-11?
The best drop-in replacement for the EPF6024ATC144-11 is another EPF6024ATC144 part at a different speed grade (such as EPF6024ATC144-10 or EPF6024ATC144-1N). All share the same 144-LQFP footprint and FLEX 6000 architecture, differing only in timing bin and operating temperature range. For new designs that can tolerate a board redesign, the Cyclone IV E (EP4CE6E144) offers higher density, lower power, and modern tool support, but requires PCB rework because the pinout is different.
Where do I download the EPF6024ATC144-11 datasheet PDF?
The EPF6024ATC144-11 datasheet is shared with the rest of the FLEX 6000 family in the Altera FLEX 6000 Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet, hosted on legacy Altera documentation mirrors such as AlteraDatasheet and AlteraSemi. A version reference available in the verified data is the EPF6024ATC144-2N datasheet (11 of 52 pages), which carries the same electrical specification as the -11 speed grade variant. Direct the Intel FPGA documentation archive for the latest revision.
Where do I find the EPF6024ATC144-11 pinout diagram?
The EPF6024ATC144-11 pinout is documented in the FLEX 6000 Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet, in the 144-pin LQFP section. Pin 1 is at the top-left of the package (with the pin-1 dot marker), numbered counter-clockwise around the perimeter. The pinout includes 117 user I/Os, dedicated JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO), configuration interface pins (nSTATUS, nCONFIG, DCLK, DATA, CONF_DONE), clock inputs, VCCINT, VCCIO, and GND.
What is the best Lattice equivalent for EPF6024ATC144-11?
Lattice Semiconductor does not offer a pin-compatible drop-in replacement for the EPF6024ATC144-11 in the 144-LQFP package. The closest functional equivalents in Lattice's portfolio are the LatticeECP2 (LFE2-6E-5TN144C) or the older ispMACH 4000 CPLDs, but these differ in pinout, voltage, and architecture (CPLD vs FPGA). For cross-brand migration, expect to redesign the PCB and rewrite any Altera-specific IP cores. No verified cross-brand Lattice drop-in was found in the alternatives cross-reference data.

Selection Guide

Choose the EPF6024ATC144-11 when you need 24K gates of 5V-tolerant SRAM-based FPGA logic in a 144-LQFP footprint for legacy repair, sustainment engineering, or 5V industrial bus interfacing. Its -11 speed grade is the cost-optimized bin within the family - if timing closure is tight, upgrade to the -10 grade. For designs that fit within 16K gates, the EPF6016ATC144-3 is a lower-cost alternative in the same package. For new designs, prefer Cyclone IV E (EP4CE6E144) which offers higher density, lower power, and modern Quartus Prime support - but expect PCB rework because the pinout differs. Always pair with an EPC1 or EPC1441 configuration PROM since FLEX 6000 SRAM cells are volatile.

Key Differentiators

  • Cost-optimized speed grade within the FLEX 6000 family (vs EPF6024ATC144-10)
  • Same 144-LQFP footprint as the EPF6016ATC144-3 family (vs EPF6016ATC144-3)
  • 5V-tolerant I/Os versus modern 3.3V Cyclone family (vs Cyclone IV E (EP4CE6E144C8N))

Design Notes

The EPF6024ATC144-11 requires a clean 5V ±5% supply on VCCINT (core) and a matching 5V (or 3.3V) supply on each VCCIO bank. Place a 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor on every VCCINT/VCCIO pin pair, plus a 10 µF tantalum bulk capacitor near the package. Estimated: with all 117 I/Os toggling at 50 MHz, core current can reach approximately 100-150 mA; budget for at least 1 A on the 5V regulator to allow for I/O switching current and configuration inrush.

Route JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) with impedance-controlled traces and a 4.7 kΩ pull-up on TCK, TMS, TDI per Altera ByteBlaster recommendations. Place the JTAG header within 6 inches of the FPGA to avoid signal integrity issues. Provide test points on nCONFIG, nSTATUS, and CONF_DONE so configuration failures can be diagnosed with a logic analyzer. The 144-LQFP at 0.5 mm pitch requires fine-pitch SMT assembly - design PCB pads per the JEDEC MS-026 footprint.

Do not forget the external configuration PROM (EPC1 or EPC1441) - without it the FPGA loads garbage on power-up and CONF_DONE never asserts. Verify that the Quartus MAX+PLUS II generated .pof or .sof files are compatible with the chosen configuration device. For in-system programming, ByteBlaster drivers on modern Windows versions require legacy driver signing - keep a Windows XP/7 era programming station as fallback. Ensure nCONFIG is pulled high via a 10 kΩ resistor and not left floating, otherwise spurious configuration triggers may occur.

Estimated: at 5V VCCINT and full I/O switching, the EPF6024ATC144-11 dissipates approximately 0.75-1.0 W. The LQFP-144 package has theta_JA around 35-40 C/W, so junction temperature rise above ambient is roughly 30-40 C. No heatsink is required, but provide adequate PCB copper area (at least 1 sq inch of unbroken ground plane) and thermal vias beneath the exposed pad of related packages. Verify with a thermal probe in the actual enclosure airflow during qualification.

The FLEX 6000 LVTTL/LVCMOS I/O outputs have edge rates around 1-2 ns - keep traces short (< 3 inches) for clock and high-speed I/O. Source-series termination (22-33 Ω in series near the driver) is recommended for outputs driving > 2 inches of trace or more than 1-2 loads. For 5V I/O bank interfacing with 3.3V peripherals, use the VCCIO bank supply to set the output level and add a 100 Ω series resistor on the line to limit ringing on mixed-voltage buses.
