EPM7128AEFC100-7

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7128AEFC100-7 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 7000A family. It features 128 macrocells organized into 8 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), providing approximately 2500 usable gates. The device operates at a supply voltage of 3.3 V, with a maximum operating frequency of 192.3 MHz and a typical pin-to-pin propagation delay of 5 ns. It utilizes EEPROM technology for non-volatile storage and supports In-System Programming (ISP) via JTAG. The component is housed in a 100-pin FineLine BGA package and is rated for an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific manufacturing date codes prior to procurement, as this part number may be subject to End-of-Life (EOL) notices or production changes. Ensure packaging integrity matches design requirements.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when a 3.3V logic level is required with high-speed performance (up to 192.3 MHz). The FBGA-100 package is suitable for space-constrained designs requiring fine-pitch surface mount technology. Compare against the standard MAX 7000 series if 5V operation is acceptable, or consider the MAX 7000S series if enhanced ISP features are prioritized over raw speed.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This CPLD is part of the MAX 7000A series, which extends the second-generation MAX architecture with 3.3V capabilities. It serves as a high-density solution for replacing discrete logic components in systems requiring reprogrammability. The device integrates with Altera's MAX+plus II and Quartus II development environments for logic synthesis and programming.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package and voltage domain should be verified against current datasheets. Cross-reference with other MAX 7000A variants such as EPM7128AEFI100-7 for package differences (FBGA vs. FCBGA) or EPM7128BFC256-7 for higher I/O counts in larger packages.
