EPM7032VLC44-20

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7032VLC44-20 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 7000 family. It features 32 macrocells, 600 usable gates, and 36 I/O pins housed in a 44-pin TQFP package. The device operates on a single 5.0 V supply voltage with a maximum operating frequency of 125 MHz. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 20 ns and a power dissipation of 320 mW at 5.0 V. The architecture utilizes EEPROM technology for non-volatile configuration storage.

• EEPROM-based non-volatile memory allowing unlimited reprogramming
• Supports fast input registers and enhanced interconnect resources

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• PCI Local Bus Specification compliant logic interfacing
• Address decoding and bus bridging applications
• State machine implementation and control logic
• Replacement for legacy PAL/GAL devices in industrial systems

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

This component is an obsolete product from Altera. Verification of availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or approved replacement components. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the application environment, as original versions may not meet current standards.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this part for designs requiring moderate logic density with high-speed performance and non-vatile configuration. Compare against the EPM7032AE series for similar functionality. Verify that the 5.0 V I/O levels match the system requirements, as newer low-voltage families may require level shifting.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

The EPM7032VLC44-20 is part of the MAX 7000S series, which includes In-System Programmability (ISP). This series succeeded the standard MAX 7000 family, adding JTAG boundary-scan capabilities and open-drain output options. It serves as a bridge between traditional PLDs and modern FPGAs.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are limited due to the proprietary MAX architecture. Consider Microchip ATF15xx series or Lattice ispLSI devices for functional equivalents. Verify logic capacity and I/O compatibility when selecting third-party alternatives.
