Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part is from a mature product line. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead content requirements against specific project standards, as datasheets indicate potential variations in environmental compliance for older manufacturing batches.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select the EPM7160ELC84-15 when 160 macrocells and 64 I/Os are required within an 84-pin PLCC footprint. Choose this -15 speed grade for designs requiring a 10 ns maximum propagation delay. Ensure the design leverages the enhanced interconnect resources and global clocking available in the MAX 7000E series.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the MAX 7000E series, which offers enhanced features over standard MAX 7000 devices, such as additional global clocks and output enables. It sits between the EPM7128E and EPM7192E in terms of logic density within the 5.0-V EEPROM-based CPLD portfolio.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible low-voltage alternatives include the MAX 7000A (3.3-V) and MAX 7000B (2.5-V) families. For in-system programming capabilities, consider the MAX 7000S series, which adds JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry.
