Programmable Logic Device Pld Applications

Programmable Logic Device Pld Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SC' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact speed grade and commercial temperature range specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as older Altera PLDs may not meet current environmental standards. Ensure the 24-pin SOIC footprint matches the target PCB design constraints before procurement.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Selection Notes

Select this component when a simple PAL structure with 16 macrocells is required. Compare the 17 ns delay against system timing requirements. Consider the EP610ASC-10 variant if a faster 10 ns delay is necessary, or the EP610SM-35 for industrial temperature range operation (-55°C to 125°C). Verify that the 20 input/16 I/O configuration meets interface needs.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Part Context

The EP610SC-15 belongs to the EP610 family of high-performance PLDs from Altera. This family utilizes macrocell architecture with global interconnects. It serves as a legacy solution for discrete logic replacement in systems where FPGA density is unnecessary. The device is part of Altera's historical portfolio of complex programmable logic devices.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided data. Potential alternatives within the same family include EP610ASC-10 for higher speed or EP610SM-35 for wider temperature range, subject to pin compatibility verification.
