Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the EPF6010ATC144-1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Package compatibility: 144-LQFP form factor (20x20mm)
• I/O pin count: Minimum 86 I/O pins (substitute must support equivalent or greater I/O connectivity)
• Logic capacity: Minimum 432 logic elements (substitute must provide comparable programmable logic resources)
• Supply voltage: Operating range must overlap or be compatible with system requirements
• Mounting type: Surface mount configuration
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 85°C (TJ)

The XC2S15-5TQG144C from AMD meets these substitution criteria as a Spartan-II FPGA with 144-LQFP packaging, 86 I/O pins, and 432 logic elements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XC2S15-5TQG144C serves as a functional substitute for the EPF6010ATC144-1 based on the following factors:

• Both devices share identical 144-LQFP packaging and surface mount configuration, ensuring mechanical compatibility
• Operating temperature ranges are identical (0°C to 85°C TJ), maintaining thermal performance specifications
• The substitute provides greater gate density (15,000 gates versus 10,000 gates), offering additional design margin
• The XC2S15-5TQG144C holds Last Time Buy status, providing extended availability compared to the obsolete EPF6010ATC144-1
• The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant, supporting modern regulatory requirements
• Both devices maintain identical MSL ratings (3, 168 Hours), requiring equivalent moisture handling procedures

Design considerations include I/O pin count reduction (86 versus 102) and supply voltage difference (2.375V–2.625V versus 3V–3.6V), which require circuit-level evaluation for specific applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XC2S15-5TQG144C directly replace the EPF6010ATC144-1 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires design review. Both devices use 144-LQFP packaging and identical operating temperature ranges. However, the substitute has 16 fewer I/O pins and operates at a different supply voltage range. Pin mapping and power supply compatibility must be verified before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the I/O pin count difference?

A: The EPF6010ATC144-1 provides 102 I/O pins while the XC2S15-5TQG144C provides 86 I/O pins. If the design utilizes more than 86 I/O connections, the substitute cannot accommodate all signal paths without redesign. Designs using 86 or fewer I/O pins are compatible.

Q: How do the supply voltage ranges differ between these parts?

A: The EPF6010ATC144-1 operates at 3V to 3.6V, while the XC2S15-5TQG144C operates at 2.375V to 2.625V. These ranges do not overlap. System power supplies must be adjusted or level-shifting circuitry must be implemented to accommodate the substitute device.

Q: What does Last Time Buy status mean for the substitute part?

A: Last Time Buy indicates the manufacturer will accept orders for a limited period before discontinuation. The XC2S15-5TQG144C has extended availability compared to the obsolete EPF6010ATC144-1, but procurement should occur within the manufacturer's specified window.

Q: Are moisture handling procedures identical for both devices?

A: Yes. Both the EPF6010ATC144-1 and XC2S15-5TQG144C carry MSL rating 3 (168 Hours), requiring identical moisture sensitivity precautions during storage, handling, and assembly.

Q: What is the logic capacity difference between these FPGAs?

A: The EPF6010ATC144-1 contains 880 logic elements, while the XC2S15-5TQG144C contains 432 logic elements. Designs requiring more than 432 logic elements cannot be implemented on the substitute without architectural changes or design optimization.
