EPF6024ATI144-2N Overview
A Programmable Logic Device (PLD) is an integrated circuit whose logic function is defined by the user after manufacture, sitting in the broader hierarchy of programmable logic that includes SPLDs, CPLDs, and FPGAs. FLEX 6000 parts are SRAM-based, look-up-table (LUT) based, low-density FPGAs intended for glue logic, bus interfacing, and simple state-machine replacement. Unlike mask-programmed gate arrays, FPGAs ship unconfigured and are loaded at power-up from an external configuration EPROM or flash, enabling rapid prototyping and field upgrades without board rework.
Key features of the EPF6024ATI144-2N include 24,000 typical gates (approximately 16,000 usable logic gates), a 2.5 V core supply with 3.3 V PCI-compliant I/O support, in-system programmability through the IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan interface, and 4 dedicated clock/clear fast inputs that bypass the I/O registers. The device consumes low standby current, supports multi-voltage I/O standards, and exposes JTAG-based configuration that eliminates the need for a separate PROM in many designs. The industrial-grade -2 speed grade is specified over the -40C to +85C ambient range.
Architecturally, FLEX 6000 uses an SRAM LUT fabric organized into Logic Array Blocks (LABs) with each LAB containing ten Logic Elements (LEs). Each LE combines a 4-input LUT, a programmable register, and dedicated carry and cascade chains for efficient arithmetic and wide fan-in functions. Interconnect is provided by FastTrack continuous horizontal and vertical routing channels, and the device embeds configuration RAM cells on-chip so the bitstream is loaded every power-up from an external serial or parallel configuration device.
Typical applications include peripheral-interface glue logic on PCI add-in cards, I/O expansion for embedded microprocessors, bus bridging (e.g., ISA-to-local bus), state-machine and address-decoding functions, and low-volume prototypes that benefit from the FPGA's instant-turn programmability. The 117 I/Os comfortably absorb 32-bit datapaths plus control.
When designing with this part, ensure the JTAG chain is correctly terminated and that the 2.5 V/3.3 V rails are decoupled locally. Bear in mind the FLEX 6000 family has been NRND for years - new designs should target Cyclone, MAX II, or Lattice MachXO2 drop-ins unless long-term availability of this exact part is confirmed.

Typical Applications
EPF6024ATI144-2N is suitable for 7 applications: PCI Add-in Card Glue Logic, Microprocessor I/O Expansion, Bus Bridge / Protocol Converter, Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation, State Machine and Control Logic, Low-Volume Prototype and Custom Logic Replacement, Industrial Test and Measurement Front-End.
PCI Add-in Card Glue Logic
The EPF6024ATI144-2N's 117 user I/O and 24,000-gate FLEX 6000 fabric make it a strong fit for PCI add-in card glue logic, where it handles address decoding, bus arbitration, interrupt steering, and local-bus-to-PCI bridging without burdening a host ASIC. The 3.3 V PCI-compliant I/O directly interface to the PCI bus without external transceivers, while the JTAG interface simplifies board-level bring-up and boundary-scan test. The -2 speed grade comfortably meets 33 MHz PCI timing with margin.
Recommended
Microprocessor I/O Expansion
Designers use the EPF6024ATI144-2N to expand the I/O count of microprocessors and microcontrollers whose native peripheral set is insufficient for the target system. With 117 I/O and 24K gates, the device can implement address-latch demultiplexing, wait-state generation, chip-select decoding, and custom parallel peripherals in a single chip. Its JTAG-based configuration lets engineers iterate on the peripheral map during development without respinning the board.
Recommended
Bus Bridge / Protocol Converter
The EPF6024ATI144-2N is widely deployed as a bus bridge between incompatible interfaces such as ISA-to-local bus, PC/104-to-custom backplane, or legacy parallel buses to modern processors. The 117 I/O accommodate both bus widths plus control signals, while the LUT-rich architecture efficiently implements the state machines needed for handshaking and protocol translation. SRAM-based programmability enables late-stage protocol changes without board rework.
Recommended
Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation
In complex memory-mapped systems the EPF6024ATI144-2N serves as the central address decoder, generating chip-selects for memory banks, peripherals, and I/O devices based on the processor's address bus. Its 4-input LUT fabric and dedicated carry chains produce fast, deterministic select signals with sub-10 ns propagation, far faster than discrete 74-series decoding. The 24K-gate capacity also enables bus-watching logic, watchdog timers, and reset distribution in one device.
Recommended
State Machine and Control Logic
Engineers use the EPF6024ATI144-2N to implement complex finite-state machines for industrial controllers, motor sequencers, and protocol stacks where a microcontroller is too slow or a CPLD is too small. Each of the 1,960 logic elements provides a dedicated register, and the FastTrack interconnect gives predictable timing for closed-loop control. JTAG-based configuration enables in-field firmware updates for control logic without board removal.
Recommended
Low-Volume Prototype and Custom Logic Replacement
The EPF6024ATI144-2N shines in low-volume production and prototype builds where ASIC NRE costs cannot be amortized. Engineers can implement custom glue logic, interface adapters, and discrete 74-series logic replacement in a single FPGA, then migrate to a pin-compatible CPLD or ASIC if volumes justify redesign. The TQFP-144 footprint is widely supported by low-cost PCB houses and hand-solderable prototypes.
Recommended
Industrial Test and Measurement Front-End
The EPF6024ATI144-2N serves as a flexible front-end for industrial test equipment, implementing programmable signal conditioning, muxing, and timing generators under software control. Its 117 I/O accommodate multiple instrument channels, while the LUT fabric implements precise digital delays and pulse-width control. The -40C to +85C industrial temperature range ensures stable operation in factory-floor enclosures without derating.

Key Differentiators
- Industrial temperature grade on the FLEX 6000 die (vs EPF6024ATC144-2N)
- Higher logic capacity than the EPF6016 family on identical footprint (vs EPF6016ATI144-2N)
- Speed-grade -2 performance in the FLEX 6000 family (vs EPF6024ATI144-1N)
Design Notes
Provide separate 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling on every VCCINT and VCCIO pin placed within 5 mm of the package, plus a single 10 uF bulk tantalum or ceramic per rail. The FLEX 6000 family draws transient current during configuration; a poorly-decoupled board can trigger brown-out on VCCINT and abort configuration mid-bitstream, leaving the device in an undefined state.
Route JTAG signals (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) with 50 ohm controlled impedance and keep them away from high-frequency switching nets. Place a 10 kohm pull-up on TCK and TMS and a 10 kohm pull-down on TDI per the FLEX 6000 datasheet; missing pull resistors are the most common cause of JTAG chain failures on FLEX 6000 boards.
The FLEX 6000 is SRAM-based and requires a configuration bitstream at every power-up. Use an Altera EPC1441, EPC1064, or EPC2 configuration PROM, or download the bitstream via JTAG. Without valid configuration the device remains in reset and all I/O are tri-stated - design downstream logic to handle this by adding weak pull-ups on critical inputs.
Do not confuse the FLEX 6000 family with the later FLEX 10K - the 6000 has no embedded memory blocks, so attempting to instantiate RAM or ROM in a 6000 design will fail synthesis. Also note that the device is NRND; new designs should use MAX II, Cyclone, or Lattice MachXO2 unless long-term availability of this exact die is guaranteed by the supplier.
