EPM7096LC84-15

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7096LC84-15 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 7000 family. It features 96 macrocells, 1,800 usable gates, and 64 user I/O pins housed in an 84-pin PLCC package. The device operates at a 5.0 V supply voltage with a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns and a maximum counter frequency of 125 MHz. It utilizes CMOS EEPROM technology for non-volatile configuration and supports reprogramming up to 100 times.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• Contains 96 macrocells organized into 6 Logic Array Blocks (LABs).

• Supports high-speed logic with 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay and 125 MHz counter frequency.
• Includes programmable security bits to protect proprietary designs.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Replacement for legacy PALs, GALs, and pLSI devices.
• Implementation of SSI, MSI, and LSI logic functions.
• PCI-compliant interface design.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by manufacturer markings. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and assembly. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for PLCC-84 packages.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 96 macrocells and 64 I/Os are required within an 84-pin PLCC form factor. Consider speed grade -15 if 7.5 ns delay meets timing constraints. Verify power supply stability at 5.0 V ±5%. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs for the PLCC-84 package.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

Part of the MAX 7000 family, which offers densities from 600 to 5,000 usable gates. The EPM7096 sits between the EPM7064 (64 macrocells) and EPM7128E (128 macrocells) in terms of logic capacity. It shares architectural similarities with other MAX 7000 devices but differs in pin count and gate density.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements may include other MAX 7000 series devices with similar macrocell counts, such as EPM7096 variants with different speed grades (e.g., -10, -12P). Verify logic density and I/O availability before substitution.
