EPM9560RC304-15

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The EPM9560RC304-15 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX 9000 family, manufactured by Altera. It features 560 macrocells and 191 I/O pins housed in a QFP-304 package. The device operates at a maximum frequency of 144 MHz with a propagation delay of 10 ns. It utilizes EEPROM storage technology for non-volatile configuration and supports system-in-system programming. The component is designed for industrial temperature ranges, typically spanning from -40°C to +85°C, and functions with a 5V supply voltage.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• Contains 560 macrocells organized into 35 Logic Array Blocks (LABs).
• Supports up to 191 general-purpose I/O lines.
• Features EEPROM-based non-volatile memory for configuration retention.
• Operates within a standard industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• High-density logic replacement in industrial control systems.
• Protocol conversion and interface bridging in communication equipment.
• State machine implementation in embedded hardware designs.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '15' against official datasheets to confirm the speed grade corresponds to the 10 ns propagation delay. Confirm the package type is QFP-304 as indicated by the 'R' code. Check for End-of-Life (EOL) status or obsolescence notices from Intel/Altera before procurement planning.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this component when high pin count (191 I/O) and moderate speed (144 MHz) are required in a quad-flat package. Compare against the EPM9560BI356-15 if a BGA package is preferred for similar performance. Ensure design tools support the MAX 9000 architecture for compilation and programming.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX 9000 series, which succeeded the MAX 7000 family. It offers higher density and improved performance over previous generations while maintaining compatibility with existing development tools. The series is characterized by its fast I/O structure and flexible interconnect architecture.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may include other variants within the EPM9560 family, such as the EPM9560RI240-20, provided the package and I/O count requirements match. Verify electrical characteristics and timing constraints before substitution.
