EPM7128SQC100-15

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The EPM7128SQC100-15 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from Altera's MAX 7000S family, fabricated using CMOS EEPROM technology. It features 128 macrocells organized into 8 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), providing 2,500 usable gates and up to 100 user I/O pins in the QC100 package. Operating at a supply voltage of 3.3 V, it supports In-System Programming (ISP) via a JTAG interface compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1 and IEEE Std. 1532. The device offers a maximum propagation delay of 6 ns and a counter frequency of 147.1 MHz, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in specific datasheets. Check for End-of-Life (EOL) notifications or Product Change Notices (PCN) regarding availability. Ensure programming hardware supports the required JTAG standards for ISP functionality.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring high-density logic with in-system programmability. The -15 speed grade provides a 6 ns delay suitable for moderate-speed applications. Consider the QC100 FBGA package for space-constrained PCB layouts. Verify that the design toolchain supports the MAX 7000 architecture for compilation and simulation.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

Part of the MAX 7000S series, which extends the second-generation MAX architecture with ISP capabilities. It shares architectural similarities with MAX 7000E devices but adds JTAG-based programming and boundary-scan testing. The family bridges legacy PLD requirements with modern reprogrammability needs.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include other MAX 7000S variants with different gate counts. Cross-family replacements may require logic restructuring due to differences in macrocell architecture and I/O configurations.
