EP224PC-10

Programmable Logic Device Pld Overview

The Altera EP224PC-10 is an EPROM-based Programmable Logic Device (PLD) belonging to the EP224 series. It features a PAL-type architecture with 8 macrocells and provides 150 usable logic gates, equivalent to 300 available gates. The device operates at a maximum propagation delay of 10 ns and supports a flexible I/O architecture. It is housed in a 24-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP) and requires standard supply voltage levels typical for ECL/CMOS compatible logic families of its era.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Feature Summary

• EPROM-based non-volatile programmable logic architecture
• Flexible input/output configuration capabilities
• PAL-type structure with dedicated macrocells

Programmable Logic Device Pld Applications

• Complex digital logic replacement
• System interface adaptation
• Custom gate-level logic implementation

Programmable Logic Device Pld Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when sourcing replacements, as variations may indicate different speed grades or package types. Confirm that the required component is the EPROM-based version rather than flash or other technology variants within the same family. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts for the 24-pin DIP footprint and validate voltage requirements against original system specifications before integration.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring moderate logic density with non-volatile storage. The 10 ns speed grade suits general-purpose timing requirements. Consider the 24-pin package constraints for PCB space. Evaluate if the 150 usable gates meet the design complexity without necessitating larger PLDs. Verify that the EPROM programming method aligns with available fabrication infrastructure.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Part Context

The EP224PC-10 is part of the Altera EP220/EP224 family, which utilizes EPROM technology for user-programmable logic. These devices were designed to offer a balance between flexibility and cost for mid-complexity digital designs. The series is characterized by its ability to implement custom logic functions using a fixed AND plane and programmable OR plane structure, typical of advanced PAL devices from the late 1990s.
