EPM7128SQC160-15ES

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7128SQC160-15ES is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 7000S family. It features 128 macrocells organized into eight logic array blocks, providing 2,500 usable gates and 100 user I/O pins in a 160-pin PQFP package. The device supports 5.0-V operation with In-System Programmability (ISP) via an IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 6 ns, a maximum counter frequency of 147.1 MHz, and an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• In-System Programmability (ISP) via built-in JTAG interface compatible with IEEE Std. 1149.1 and IEEE Std. 1532.
• Built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (BST) circuitry for devices with 128 or more macrocells.
• Enhanced MAX 7000E features including six global output enables, two global clocks, fast input registers, and programmable slew-rate control.
• EEPROM-based architecture allowing reprogramming up to 100 times with non-volatile storage.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• PCI-compliant digital logic design.
• Mixed-voltage system interfacing using MultiVolt I/O capability.
• High-density integration of SSI, MSI, and LSI logic functions replacing PALs, GALs, and pLSI devices.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the 'ES' suffix against official documentation to confirm specific testing or screening conditions, as standard datasheets may not detail suffix variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as the MAX 7000S family includes both compliant and non-compliant variants. Ensure the 160-pin PQFP footprint matches the target PCB layout requirements.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring 128 macrocells and ISP capabilities within the 5.0-V domain. Compare the 6 ns speed grade (-15) against faster -5 or -6 grades if timing constraints are critical. Consider the MAX 7000A family for 3.3-V applications or higher density needs exceeding 5,000 gates.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the MAX 7000S series, which extends the MAX 7000E architecture by adding ISP and BST features. It is pin, function, and programming file compatible with existing MAX 7000 and MAX 7000E devices, facilitating migration from non-ISP CPLDs while retaining the same logical structure and LAB organization.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same family include EPM7128SQC160-10P or EPM7128SQC160-10. For lower speed requirements, EPM7128SQC160-20 is available. Verify package compatibility when substituting speed grades.
