EPM9560RC240-15YY

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM9560RC240-15YY is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 9000 family. It features 560 macrocells, 35 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), and up to 216 user I/O pins in a 240-pin RQFP package. The device operates at a maximum frequency of 118 MHz with a typical pin-to-pin propagation delay of 15 ns. It utilizes CMOS EEPROM technology for non-volatile storage and supports 5.0-V In-System Programmability (ISP) via an IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• High-performance CMOS EEPROM-based architecture with 10–15 ns delays
• Dual-output macrocells allowing independent combinatorial and registered logic
• MultiVolt I/O interface supporting 3.3-V and 5.0-V mixed-voltage systems
• Built-in JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• PCI Local Bus implementations compliant with Revision 2.2
• High-speed state machines and control logic
• Mixed-voltage system interfacing
• In-system programmable design iterations

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'YY' against official documentation, as standard datasheets typically list '-15' or '-15F'. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as older MAX 9000 variants may not meet current environmental standards. Ensure the 240-pin RQFP package matches the target PCB footprint.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring high-density logic with predictable interconnect delays via FastTrack routing. The -15 speed grade offers a balance between performance and power. Consider the EPM9560A variant if lower power consumption is required, or the -10 grade for stricter timing constraints.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the third-generation MAX architecture, designed to replace complex discrete logic and PAL/GAL devices. It bridges the gap between simple PLDs and FPGAs, offering reprogrammability with deterministic timing suitable for system-level integration.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

The EPM9560A series serves as a low-power alternative within the same family. For direct functional replacement, verify pin compatibility and timing requirements against the EPM9560-10 or EPM9560-20 speed grades.
