Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or certified secondary market suppliers. Confirm that the device matches the specified 68-pin PLCC package and -15 speed grade. Check for physical integrity and ensure the part number corresponds exactly to the EPM7096LI68-15 designation before procurement.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 96 macrocells and 64 I/Os are required within a 68-pin footprint. The -15 speed grade provides a 7.5 ns delay suitable for moderate-speed applications. Ensure the design environment supports the MAX 7000 architecture and that 5.0-V power supply constraints align with system requirements.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the Altera MAX 7000 series, which represents second-generation CPLD technology. It serves as a high-density replacement for legacy PALs and GALs, offering flexible logic integration. The EPM7096 variant specifically targets designs requiring more capacity than the EPM7064 but less than the EPM7128.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other EPM7096 variants with different packages or speed grades, such as EPM7096LC84-15 or EPM7096QC100-15. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics when substituting.
