EPF6024ATC144-13 Overview

The Altera (now Intel) EPF6024ATC144-13 is a member of the FLEX 6000 family of SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays, delivering 24,000 typical gates and 1,960 logic elements in a 144-pin LQFP (TQFP) package. It is a programmable logic device from the classic FLEX 6000 series fabricated on a 0.42 µm CMOS process, with a maximum internal operating frequency of 142.86 MHz at 3.3 V core supply. The device integrates 196 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) and 117 user I/O pins, providing an entry-level platform for glue logic, bus interfacing, and state-machine prototyping.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor integrated circuit containing an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs/LABs), programmable interconnect, and programmable I/O cells that engineers can customize post-manufacture to implement arbitrary digital logic functions. Within the broader power-management/PLD hierarchy, FPGAs sit at the top of the programmable logic tree: PLD -> CPLD -> FPGA -> SRAM-based FPGA. The FLEX 6000 family uses a look-up-table (LUT)-based architecture with continuous FastTrack interconnect routing, distinguishing it from older PAL/GAL devices and from the non-volatile MAX series CPLDs.

Key features of the EPF6024ATC144-13 include 24,000 typical gates, 1,960 logic cells, 196 LABs, 117 maximum user I/O, in-system programmability via the serial configuration EPROM interface, 5V-tolerant I/O on a 3.3 V core, and JTAG boundary-scan support. The -13 speed grade corresponds to a pin-to-pin delay of approximately 13 ns, making the part suitable for moderately fast control logic and bus-bridge applications rather than high-speed DSP pipelines.

Architecturally, the device uses a hierarchical interconnect structure with row and column FastTrack channels that route signals between LABs. Each LAB contains 10 Logic Elements (LEs), and each LE carries a 4-input LUT, a programmable register, and a carry chain for arithmetic. Embedded array blocks (EABs) provide small memory primitives for FIFO and shallow RAM functions.

Typical applications include industrial control glue logic, telecommunications interface bridges, peripheral bus adapters (PCI, ISA, VME bridges), motor-control sequencers, legacy system modernization, and low-volume ASIC prototyping where the 144-pin LQFP footprint is already designed in. The wide package and modest gate count also make it a popular choice for educational FPGA platforms and laboratory teaching kits.

When designing with this part, ensure the configuration EPROM (EPC1, EPC2, or compatible) is correctly sized for the bitstream and that JTAG chain integrity is verified prior to in-system programming. Because the FLEX 6000 family is built on 0.42 µm SRAM cells, the bitstream is volatile - the device must be reconfigured on every power-up unless an external controller holds the part in reset until configuration completes.
