EPF6024ATC144-18 Overview

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPF6024ATC144-18 is a member of the FLEX 6000 family of SRAM-based FPGAs, providing 24,000 typical gates, 1,960 logic elements (LEs), and 196 logic array blocks (LABs) in a 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) package with industrial-grade speed grade -18. Built on a 5V-tolerant CMOS SRAM process, the FLEX 6000 family was designed as a low-cost programmable alternative to high-volume gate-array applications, enabling rapid design changes during prototyping and pre-production.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a reconfigurable integrated circuit containing an array of programmable logic blocks, interconnect, and I/O cells that the designer configures after manufacturing using a hardware description language (HDL). FPGAs sit in the broader taxonomy of programmable logic devices (PLDs) and bridge the gap between fixed-function ASICs (high NRE, high volume) and discrete logic (low density, slow prototyping). Within the Altera/Intel portfolio hierarchy, FLEX 6000 devices are positioned as low-density, cost-optimized SRAM FPGAs, below the FLEX 10K family (which added embedded array blocks) and well below modern Cyclone and Stratix families.

Key features include 117 user I/O pins supporting 5V, 3.3V, and 2.5V I/O standards, a 3.3V core supply with 5V I/O tolerance, fast continuous interconnect with predictable routing delays, and a built-in Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) boundary-scan test interface for in-system programming and board-level test. The device is configured via the Altera FLEX 6000 series configuration scheme using serial or parallel configuration devices, and supports multi-device configuration chains.

The FLEX 6000 architecture uses a four-input look-up table (LUT) per logic element, with carry and cascade chains for high-speed arithmetic and wide-input functions. Each LAB contains 10 LEs and connects to the FastTrack Interconnect, an efficient continuous routing fabric that minimizes timing skew and supports high-speed designs up to the device's specified speed grade.

Typical applications include telecommunications interface bridging, industrial control glue logic, prototyping of ASIC designs, programmable I/O expansion for embedded microcontrollers, and educational platforms. The 144-TQFP package provides ample I/O for legacy peripheral interfacing while remaining hand-solderable for low-volume builds. Engineers commonly pair this device with EPC2 configuration PROMs for standalone operation.

When designing with this device, ensure the JTAG chain order matches the Quartus MAX+PLUS II or Quartus Prime device programmer configuration. Unused I/O pins should be left floating or driven to a defined state, and the global clear (DEV_CLRn) signal must be properly terminated to avoid inadvertent resets during power-up. The -18 speed grade indicates a -18 pin/pin delay relationship used for timing-driven compilation.
