EPF6016TC144-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EPF6016TC144-3 is a FLEX 6000 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC manufactured by Intel, featuring 117 I/O pins, 1320 logic elements, and 16000 gates in a 144-LQFP surface mount package. This device operates at 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage with a standard industrial temperature range of 0°C to 85°C. The EPF6016TC144-3 is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs, production continuity, and system upgrades where legacy component sourcing becomes impractical.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EPF6016TC144-3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Package compatibility: 144-LQFP (20x20mm) surface mount form factor
• Logic capacity: Minimum 1200 logic elements to maintain functional equivalence
• I/O count: Minimum 113 I/O pins to support system interconnect requirements
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 85°C (TJ)
• Mounting type: Surface mount technology

The LCMXO1200C-3TN144C from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation meets these substitution criteria. While it operates at a different supply voltage (1.71V to 3.465V), it provides equivalent logic density, I/O capability, and identical package form factor, making it a functional substitute for applications where voltage regulation can be adapted.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMXO1200C-3TN144C is the designated substitute for the obsolete EPF6016TC144-3. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and manufacturing support
• ROHS3 compliance meets current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Identical 144-LQFP package and surface mount configuration enable direct PCB compatibility
• Logic element count (1200) and I/O count (113) provide functional equivalence for the majority of applications
• Matching operating temperature range (0°C to 85°C) maintains thermal performance specifications
• Supply voltage difference (1.71V to 3.465V versus 4.75V to 5.25V) requires board-level power supply adaptation but does not affect functional substitution

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCMXO1200C-3TN144C be used as a direct pin-for-pin replacement for the EPF6016TC144-3?

A: The LCMXO1200C-3TN144C shares the same 144-LQFP package and pinout compatibility. However, the supply voltage requirement differs significantly (1.71V to 3.465V versus 4.75V to 5.25V), requiring power supply circuit modifications. PCB layout and routing remain compatible.

Q: What is the difference in logic capacity between these two devices?

A: The EPF6016TC144-3 contains 1320 logic elements, while the LCMXO1200C-3TN144C contains 1200 logic elements. This 120-element difference (approximately 9% reduction) is acceptable for most applications but should be evaluated against specific design requirements.

Q: Are there differences in I/O pin availability?

A: The EPF6016TC144-3 provides 117 I/O pins, while the LCMXO1200C-3TN144C provides 113 I/O pins. This 4-pin difference may require design review for applications utilizing all available I/O resources.

Q: What are the compliance differences between these parts?

A: The EPF6016TC144-3 is RoHS non-compliant, while the LCMXO1200C-3TN144C is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to environmental regulations or customer requirements, the LCMXO1200C-3TN144C meets current compliance standards.

Q: Is the moisture sensitivity level the same for both devices?

A: Both devices have identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 3 (168 Hours), requiring equivalent handling, storage, and reflow procedures.
