EPM7160SQC160-10

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7160SQC160-10 is a MAX 7000S series Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) housed in a 160-pin PQFP package. It features 160 macrocells organized into 10 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), providing 3,200 usable gates and 104 user I/O pins. The device operates at 5.0 V with a maximum propagation delay of 6 ns and a counter frequency of 149.3 MHz. Key architectural features include In-System Programmability (ISP) via JTAG, built-in boundary-scan test circuitry, and MultiVolt I/O capability for mixed-voltage systems.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• Maximum propagation delay of 6 ns with 149.3 MHz counter frequency
• MultiVolt I/O interface supporting 3.3-V or 5.0-V operation

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• PCI-compliant logic interfacing
• Mixed-voltage system integration
• High-density SSI, MSI, and LSI logic replacement
• In-system programmable design prototyping

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be subject to obsolescence. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly. Ensure programming hardware compatibility with JTAG ISP requirements for the MAX 7000S family.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring 160 macrocells with high-speed performance (6 ns delay). Choose over non-S variants if In-System Programmability and JTAG boundary-scan testing are required. Verify that the 160-pin PQFP package fits the target PCB footprint and thermal constraints.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera MAX 7000S family, which enhances the standard MAX 7000 architecture with ISP capabilities. It shares architectural similarities with the EPM7160E but adds JTAG-based programming and open-drain output options. It is distinct from lower-density models like the EPM7128S and higher-density models like the EPM7192S.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same speed grade are limited due to the specific combination of ISP features and package type. Consider the EPM7160EQC160-10 for ceramic packages or EPM7160STC100-10N for TQFP packages if pin count allows reduction.
