EPM7160SLC84-10

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7160SLC84-10 is a MAX 7000S series Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) housed in an 84-pin PLCC package. It features 160 macrocells organized into 10 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), providing 3,200 usable gates and up to 104 user I/O pins. Operating at a nominal 5.0 V supply, the -10 speed grade offers a maximum propagation delay of 6 ns and a counter frequency of 149.3 MHz. The device supports In-System Programming (ISP) via a built-in IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface and includes boundary-scan test circuitry.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• MAX 7000S architecture with 160 macrocells and 10 LABs
• In-System Programming (ISP) via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface
• Built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (BST) circuitry
• EEPROM-based non-volatile storage allowing reprogramming

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• PCI-compliant logic interfacing
• Gate replacement for PALs, GALs, and standard logic
• Protocol conversion and signal buffering
• Embedded control logic in industrial systems

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for End-of-Life (EOL) notifications or Product Change Notifications (PCN). Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity levels specified in the datasheet.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring 5V operation with ISP capabilities. Compare against EPM7160E if JTAG/BST is unnecessary. Verify pin compatibility with target packages (PLCC-84) and ensure voltage levels match system requirements. Consider speed grades (-10 vs others) based on timing constraints.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

Part of the Altera MAX 7000 family, bridging simple PLDs and high-density FPGAs. The MAX 7000S variant specifically adds ISP and BST features over the standard MAX 7000E series. It serves as a drop-in replacement for legacy discrete logic in mixed-voltage environments.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible alternatives within the MAX 7000 family include EPM7160E variants (without ISP) or higher-density models like EPM7192S. Cross-family replacements require architectural review.
