EPM7160SLC84-7

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7160SLC84-7 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 7000S family. It features 160 macrocells, 3,200 usable gates, and 64 I/O pins housed in an 84-pin PLCC package. Operating at a 5.0 V supply voltage, it delivers a maximum propagation delay of 7 ns and supports clock frequencies up to 149.3 MHz. The device incorporates EEPROM technology for reprogrammability and includes built-in JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• In-system programmability via IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG interface
• Built-in JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry
• Configurable expander product-term distribution with up to 32 terms per macrocell
• Programmable power-saving mode reducing macrocell power by over 50%

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• PCI-compliant logic interfacing
• High-density SSI, MSI, and LSI logic integration
• TTL emulation systems

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be discontinued. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to procurement. Ensure programming hardware compatibility with JTAG-based ISP requirements for functional validation.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 160 macrocells and 64 I/Os are required within an 84-pin PLCC footprint. The -7 speed grade provides a 7 ns delay suitable for moderate-speed applications. Verify that the design utilizes 5.0 V logic levels, as this device does not support MultiVolt I/O operation in the 84-pin package configuration.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the MAX 7000S series, which enhances the standard MAX 7000 architecture with In-System Programmability (ISP) and JTAG BST capabilities. It shares architectural similarities with the EPM7160E but adds dedicated ISP circuitry compatible with IEEE Std. 1532.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other MAX 7000S devices such as the EPM7160SLC84-10 or EPM7160SLC84-6N, provided the timing specifications meet the design requirements.
