EPM7096LC68-12

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7096LC68-12 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 7000 family. It features 96 macrocells organized into six logic array blocks and provides up to 68 user I/O pins in a PLCC-68 package. The device utilizes CMOS EEPROM technology for non-volatile configuration, allowing reprogramming up to 100 times. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns, a maximum counter frequency of 125 MHz, and operation within a 4.75 V to 5.25 V power supply range.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• Supports 3.3-V or 5.0-V MultiVolt I/O interface operation
• Includes programmable security bit for design protection
• Features fast input setup times via dedicated paths from I/O pins to registers

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Replacement for PALs, GALs, and standard MSI/LSI logic functions
• High-density integration of SSI, MSI, and LSI logic
• PCI-compliant system designs

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older variants may not meet current environmental standards. Check humidity sensitivity levels and storage conditions prior to assembly to ensure device reliability during soldering processes.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 96 macrocells and 68 I/O pins are required in a PLCC-68 package. Ensure the design operates at 5.0 V or utilizes MultiVolt capabilities for mixed-voltage systems. Consider the -12 speed grade if a 7.5 ns maximum propagation delay meets timing requirements.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the MAX 7000 family, which offers logic densities ranging from 600 to 5,000 usable gates. The EPM7096 specifically bridges lower-density devices like the EPM7064 and higher-density options such as the EPM7128E, providing a balance of capacity and pin count for mid-range applications.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible low-voltage alternatives exist within the MAX 7000A and MAX 7000B families. Verify voltage level compatibility and I/O drive strength when substituting with these variants.
