EPM7192EQC160-12

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7192EQC160-12 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 7000 family. It features 192 macrocells, 3,750 usable gates, and 124 user I/O pins housed in a PQFP-160 package. The device operates at a nominal 5.0 V supply voltage with a maximum propagation delay of 12 ns and a maximum counter frequency of 90.9 MHz. It utilizes EEPROM technology for non-volatile configuration and supports system-level programming via JTAG.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• MAX 7000 architecture with 192 macrocells organized into 12 logic array blocks
• EEPROM-based non-volatile storage allowing up to 100 program/erase cycles
• Fixed-delay programmable interconnect array for predictable timing performance
• Configurable output drivers supporting 3.3-V or 5.0-V operation

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Replacement for legacy standard logic circuits such as PALs, GALs, and pLSI devices
• Implementation of complex address decoding and bus interface logic
• State machine design and sequential control applications
• Prototyping digital logic functions prior to ASIC implementation

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

This component is identified as End-of-Life (EOL). Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or surplus market sources. Designers should confirm lead times and authenticity when sourcing from third-party vendors due to the discontinued status.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring moderate logic density (up to 3,750 gates) with fixed-function predictability. It is suitable for mixed-voltage systems due to configurable I/O levels. For designs requiring higher speed or larger capacity, consider the MAX 7000S series or newer Intel FPGA families.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

The EPM7192EQC160-12 is part of the MAX 7000 family, introduced by Altera Corporation. This family established high-performance, EEPROM-based CPLDs using second-generation MAX architecture. The specific -12 suffix denotes a 12 ns speed grade within the standard MAX 7000 product line.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements are not available due to the EOL status. Functional equivalents may be found in the MAX 7000A or MAX 7000B series, though voltage levels and pinouts differ. Modern FPGA alternatives from Intel or Lattice Semiconductor require significant redesign.
