The EPF6016QC208-2N is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component manufactured by Altera, which is now a part of Intel. It is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed to provide flexibility and reconfigurability for various digital circuit applications.
Key Features:
1. Architecture: The EPF6016QC208-2N utilizes Altera's patented SRAM-based architecture, which allows users to configure the device for different logic functions according to their specific requirements.
2. Logic Elements: It consists of approximately 6000 Logic Elements (LEs), which are the basic building blocks of the FPGA. These LEs can be interconnected to implement complex digital logic designs.
3. Programmability: The IC offers in-system programmability, meaning that the user can configure the FPGA even after it has been soldered onto the PCB. This feature allows for easy updates and modifications to the circuit design, reducing development time and costs.
4. High-Speed Interfaces: The EPF6016QC208-2N supports various high-speed interfaces, like Serial RapidIO, PCI Express, and Ethernet, making it suitable for applications that require fast data transfer rates.
5. Embedded Memory: It has approximately 90 kilobits (Kb) of embedded memory blocks, which provide storage for lookup tables, delays, or other data required by the circuit
