EPM7128EQC160-15

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The EPM7128EQC160-15 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 7000E family, manufactured by Altera. It features 128 macrocells organized into 8 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), providing approximately 2,500 usable gates. The device operates at a supply voltage of 5.0 V and supports up to 100 user I/O pins in its PQFP-160 package. Key electrical specifications include 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.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• MAX 7000E architecture with 128 macrocells and 8 LABs
• 5.0 V operation with MultiVolt I/O capability
• 7.5 ns maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay
• 125 MHz maximum counter frequency

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• High-density logic integration replacing PALs, GALs, and standard PLDs
• Address decoding and bus interface control
• Timing control and state machine implementation
• Signal processing and data conversion logic

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in specific ordering information. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements prior to assembly. Ensure design compatibility with 5.0 V logic levels and verify package integrity for PQFP-160 footprint.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 128 macrocells and 100 I/O pins are required within a 160-pin QFP package. The -15 speed grade indicates a 7.5 ns delay, suitable for applications requiring moderate switching speeds. Consider the MAX 7000S variant if In-System Programming (ISP) via JTAG is necessary, as the E-series lacks built-in ISP circuitry.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the MAX 7000 family, representing Altera's second-generation CPLD architecture. The EPM7128E specifically denotes the enhanced feature set including fast input registers and programmable slew rate control, distinguishing it from the base MAX 7000 and ISP-capable MAX 7000S series.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same density may include other MAX 7000E variants with different speed grades or package options. For ISP functionality, consider the EPM7128S series. Cross-family migration to newer Altera families requires architectural redesign.
