Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the EPF6010ATC100-1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Package Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute must use 100-pin TQFP/VQFP surface-mount packages with identical 14x14mm footprints to ensure PCB-level compatibility.

I/O Pin Count: The substitute must provide a minimum of 71 I/O pins to maintain signal routing equivalence. Devices with fewer I/O pins cannot serve as direct substitutes.

Logic Capacity: The substitute must offer sufficient logic elements and gates to accommodate designs originally targeting the EPF6010ATC100-1's 880 logic elements and 10,000 gates.

Operating Temperature Range: The substitute must support the 0°C to 85°C industrial temperature range to maintain thermal compatibility in target applications.

Mounting Type: Surface-mount technology must be preserved for manufacturing process continuity.

The XC2S15-5VQG100C (Spartan-II FPGA) meets these substitution criteria through equivalent package geometry, I/O pin availability, logic capacity, and operating temperature specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XC2S15-5VQG100C serves as a functional substitute for the obsolete EPF6010ATC100-1 based on the following engineering criteria:

Package Compatibility: Both devices use 100-pin TQFP/VQFP packages with identical 14x14mm footprints, enabling direct PCB-level replacement without layout modifications.

Operating Temperature Alignment: Both parts operate across the 0°C to 85°C industrial temperature range, maintaining thermal specification equivalence.

Moisture Sensitivity Parity: Both devices carry MSL 3 ratings (168 hours), ensuring identical handling and storage requirements.

Compliance Status: The XC2S15-5VQG100C holds ROHS3 compliance, whereas the EPF6010ATC100-1 is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements.

Product Lifecycle Status: The XC2S15-5VQG100C is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating limited future availability. The EPF6010ATC100-1 is Obsolete, making substitution necessary for continued sourcing.

Design Considerations: The XC2S15-5VQG100C provides 60 I/O pins versus the EPF6010ATC100-1's 71 I/O pins. Designs requiring all 71 I/O connections must be re-evaluated for pin reassignment or alternative device selection. The substitute offers 432 logic elements compared to 880 in the original part; designs with high logic density requirements may require architectural optimization or migration to higher-capacity Spartan-II variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XC2S15-5VQG100C directly replace the EPF6010ATC100-1 without PCB modifications?

A: The 100-pin TQFP and 100-pin VQFP packages share identical 14x14mm footprints and pin pitch, enabling direct PCB-level replacement. However, pin-to-pin functional mapping must be verified during design migration, as I/O pin assignments differ between the FLEX 6000 and Spartan-II architectures.

Q: What is the impact of the 11-pin I/O reduction (71 to 60 pins)?

A: The XC2S15-5VQG100C provides 60 I/O pins versus 71 on the EPF6010ATC100-1. Designs utilizing all 71 I/O connections require pin reassignment analysis. Unused I/O pins on the original device may be available for reassignment, or alternative Spartan-II devices with higher I/O counts should be evaluated.

Q: How do the logic element counts compare?

A: The EPF6010ATC100-1 contains 880 logic elements, while the XC2S15-5VQG100C contains 432 logic elements. Designs with high logic density may require architectural optimization, HDL code review, or migration to higher-capacity Spartan-II variants (such as XC2S30 or XC2S50) to accommodate equivalent functionality.

Q: Are the supply voltage ranges compatible?

A: No. The EPF6010ATC100-1 operates at 3V to 3.6V, while the XC2S15-5VQG100C operates at 2.375V to 2.625V. Power supply circuits and voltage regulation schemes must be redesigned to accommodate the lower voltage specification of the substitute device.

Q: What are the implications of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The EPF6010ATC100-1 is RoHS non-compliant, while the XC2S15-5VQG100C is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives (EU and equivalent regulations), the substitute provides regulatory alignment. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, both devices are functionally acceptable.

Q: Are both devices available in the same packaging format?

A: Both devices use 100-pin surface-mount packages with 14x14mm footprints. The EPF6010ATC100-1 uses TQFP, while the XC2S15-5VQG100C uses VQFP. These package variants are mechanically and electrically compatible for PCB assembly purposes.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity requirement for both devices?

A: Both the EPF6010ATC100-1 and XC2S15-5VQG100C carry MSL 3 ratings with a 168-hour floor life. Identical moisture control, storage, and handling procedures apply to both devices.
