EPM7128SQC160-15YY

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7128SQC160-15YY is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 7000S family. It features 128 macrocells, 2,500 usable gates, and 100 user I/O pins housed in a 160-pin PQFP package. The device operates at a supply voltage of 5.0 V with a maximum propagation delay of 6 ns and a counter frequency of 147.1 MHz. Key architectural elements include eight logic array blocks, EEPROM-based non-volatile storage, and support for in-system programming via a JTAG interface.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• In-system programmability (ISP) via IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG interface
• Built-in boundary-scan test (BST) circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1
• EEPROM technology allowing up to 100 program/erase cycles
• Programmable speed/power optimization with power-saving modes

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Digital signal processing control logic
• Bus bridging and protocol conversion
• Gate replacement for legacy PLDs and GALs
• System controller functions in embedded systems

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 notifications or obsolescence warnings prior to procurement. Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity levels specified in the package documentation.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 128 macrocells and 100 I/Os are required within a 160-pin PQFP footprint. The -15 speed grade provides a 6 ns delay suitable for moderate-speed applications. Consider MAX 7000A variants if 3.3 V operation is necessary, as this part is strictly 5.0 V. Verify that the design utilizes the JTAG interface for ISP requirements.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the MAX 7000S series, an enhancement of the original MAX 7000 family. It shares architectural similarities with the EPM7128E but adds JTAG-based ISP capabilities. The 'S' designation indicates in-system programmability, while 'QC160' specifies the ceramic or plastic quad flat pack package variant with 160 pins.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same density include other MAX 7000S devices like the EPM7128S with different speed grades (-5, -6, -7). For 3.3 V operation, the EPM7128AETC100 series offers similar logic density but requires voltage level translation or redesign.
