EPM7064AEFC100-7N

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7064AEFC100-7N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 7000A family. It features an EEPROM-based architecture with 64 macrocells distributed across four Logic Array Blocks (LABs). The device provides 68 I/O pins and utilizes a 100-pin FineLine BGA package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum operating frequency of 222.2 MHz, a typical propagation delay of 4.5 ns, and a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• MAX 7000A Architecture: Second-generation CPLD technology with non-volatile EEPROM storage for system-in-system programming capabilities.
• High Performance: Supports clock frequencies up to 222.2 MHz with a maximum propagation delay of 4.5 ns.
• I/O Flexibility: Offers 68 general-purpose I/Os compatible with various logic families including LVTTL and LVCMOS.
• Package Configuration: Housed in a 100-pin FineLine BGA (FBGA) surface-mount package suitable for high-density designs.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Protocol conversion between different interface standards in embedded systems.
• Address decoding and bus bridging in industrial control applications.
• State machine implementation for test and measurement equipment.
• Glue logic replacement in legacy system upgrades.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

This component is listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or surplus market sources. Ensure that any sourced units are genuine Altera products, as counterfeit risks increase with discontinued parts. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level handling requirements before procurement.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this part when a moderate density CPLD with EEPROM non-volatility is required. Compare against the EPM7064ST series if TQFP packaging is preferred over FBGA. Verify that the 64 macrocell count meets design complexity needs; higher density options exist in the MAX 7000S or later Cyclone families if more logic resources are necessary.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

The EPM7064AEFC100-7N is part of the MAX 7000A product line, which succeeded the original MAX 7000 series. It shares architectural similarities with other EPM7064 variants but differs in package type (FBGA vs. PLCC/TQFP) and speed grade (-7N indicates specific timing characteristics). It serves as a bridge between simple PALs/GALs and larger FPGAs.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may not be available due to the obsolete status. Consider equivalent devices from the same MAX 7000A family with different packages, such as EPM7064AEPC100-7N (PLCC), or migrate to newer Intel/Altera FPGA families like Cyclone IV or V for long-term supply stability.
