EPM7512BQC208-6

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM7512BQC208-6 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 7000B family. It features 512 macrocells, 32 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), and approximately 10,000 usable gates. The device operates at a supply voltage of 2.5 V with a maximum frequency of 188.7 MHz and a propagation delay of 5 ns. It utilizes an EEPROM storage type for non-volatile configuration and supports In-System Programming (ISP) via the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface. The component is housed in a PQFP-208 surface-mount package.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity due to discontinued status. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements as indicated by Yes in humidity sensitivity data. Confirm RoHS compliance status varies by production batch; some listings indicate Non-RoHS. Ensure JTAG programming tools are compatible with MAX 7000B architecture before procurement.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 512 macrocells and 2.5 V operation are required. Compare against EPM7512AE series if 3.3 V compatibility is needed instead. Consider pin count and I/O availability relative to the 208-pin PQFP package constraints. Verify thermal management needs for the PQFP-208 form factor in dense PCB layouts.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

Part of the MAX 7000B family, designed as a high-density PLD. It offers pin-compatibility with earlier MAX 7000S and MAX 7000A families while providing improved performance at lower voltages. The EPM7512B variant specifically denotes the 2.5 V version within the broader EPM7512 product line.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other EPM7512B variants with different speed grades or packages, such as EPM7512BQC208-7. For 3.3 V applications, the EPM7512AE series may serve as a functional alternative, though voltage levels differ.
