EPM7128EQC160-15MM

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7128EQC160-15 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 7000E family. It features 128 macrocells, 8 logic array blocks (LABs), and 100 user I/O pins within a 160-pin PQFP package. The device operates at a nominal 5.0 V supply voltage with a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns and a counter frequency of 125 MHz. It utilizes CMOS EEPROM technology for non-volatile configuration and includes enhanced architectural features such as programmable slew-rate control, fast input registers, and six global output enables.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or certified secondary market suppliers. Confirm RoHS compliance status as original specifications may vary by production batch. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to moisture sensitivity classification. Validate package integrity prior to installation to prevent pin damage.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 128 macrocells and 100 I/O pins are required in a 160-pin surface-mount package. Choose the -15 speed grade for designs requiring a 7.5 ns maximum delay. Consider the MAX 7000S variant if In-System Programming (ISP) via JTAG is necessary, as the standard MAX 7000E does not include ISP circuitry.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the Altera MAX 7000E series, which provides enhanced features over the base MAX 7000 family. These enhancements include additional global clocking, extra output enable signals, and improved interconnect resources. The EPM7128E represents a mid-range density option within the series, bridging the gap between lower-density devices like the EPM7096 and higher-density options like the EPM7160E.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same density class include other MAX 7000E variants with different speed grades or packages. For designs requiring In-System Programming, the EPM7128S series serves as the functional equivalent with added JTAG capabilities.
