Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

This component is listed as End-of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted or discontinued through standard distributors. Verification of current stock status from authorized sources is required before procurement planning due to the discontinuation notice.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring moderate logic density with non-volatile configuration capabilities. Ensure the design fits within the 192 macrocell limit and 124 I/O constraint. Verify that the 5V operating voltage and commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) align with system requirements. Consider the PQFP-160 footprint for PCB layout compatibility.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

The EPM7192EQC160-20 is part of the Altera MAX 7000 CPLD series, which provides high-density programmable logic solutions. This specific variant distinguishes itself with the EQC suffix indicating the PQFP-160 package and the -20 speed grade corresponding to the 12 ns delay specification. It serves as a legacy solution for systems transitioning from discrete logic to programmable devices.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

As an End-of-Life product, direct replacements may require redesigning the PCB footprint if switching to different packages. Alternative MAX 7000 variants with similar macrocell counts should be evaluated for pin compatibility and electrical performance matching.
