EPM9560WC208-20 نظرة عامة

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPM9560WC208-20 is a high-density electrically-erasable programmable logic device (EPLD) from the MAX 9000 family, delivering 560 macrocells organized in 35 logic array blocks (LABs) in a 208-pin power quad flat pack (PQFP/RQFP) package. The device is a CMOS, in-system-programmable complex PLD with a maximum propagation delay of approximately 23.6 ns (the “-20” speed grade) and supports operation with both 3.3 V and 5 V I/O signaling for flexible mixed-voltage system design.

A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile reconfigurable digital IC built from an array of AND/OR macrocell structures backed by EEPROM or flash memory; it occupies the design hierarchy between simple PLDs (PAL/GAL) and FPGAs, providing deterministic timing, fast I/O response, and instant-on behavior without external boot memory. Within Altera’s MAX 9000 family the EPM9560 sits at the top of the 9000 series density range, with 149 usable I/O pins and a programmable interconnect that makes it well suited to bus decoding, address mapping, glue-logic and state-machine replacement in industrial and telecom systems.

Key features of the EPM9560WC208-20 include 560 macrocells, 35 LABs, 149 user I/O pins, JTAG-based in-system programmability via the IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan test (BST) interface, dual 3.3 V/5 V I/O capability, and a programmable register/feedback architecture. The “W” suffix designates the power PQFP package with enhanced thermal characteristics for high-density designs, and the “-20” designator indicates a 23.6 ns pin-to-pin logic delay suitable for systems clocked up to roughly 40 MHz on combinational paths.

Architecturally the device uses an EEPROM-based macrocell with individually programmable product-term steering, D/T/JK flip-flops, and a global interconnect matrix that delivers predictable, deterministic timing independent of routing density. This makes timing closure straightforward for address decoding, interrupt steering, and synchronous state-machine designs where FPGAs would add unnecessary silicon cost and configuration overhead.

Typical applications include high-density bus and address decoding in microprocessor/microcontroller systems, peripheral interface glue logic (e.g., PCI/ISA bus bridges), state-machine and sequencer replacement, industrial control logic, telecom backplane glue logic, and JTAG-driven system monitoring. The 149 I/O pins allow large pin-count designs to be consolidated into a single PLD.

When designing with this device, always observe the maximum I/O count (149), respect the dual-voltage VCCIO/VCCINT power sequencing rules, and use the Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II toolchain for design entry, fitting, and JTAG programming. Decoupling caps (0.1 microfarad ceramic in parallel with 10 microfarad bulk) should be placed within 1 cm of each supply pin to maintain signal integrity during in-system programming cycles.

🖥️

Microprocessor Bus and Address Decoding

The EPM9560WC208-20’s 149 user I/O pins and 560 macrocells let it consolidate entire address and chip-select decode trees for 32-bit microprocessor systems into a single CPLD, replacing dozens of 74-series glue-logic ICs. With 23.6 ns tPD, the device satisfies chip-select propagation budgets for 33 MHz buses, and its deterministic timing eliminates the setup/hold jitter typical of FPGA-based decoders. Altera’s MAX 9000 datasheet reference designs show typical use with 80386/80486/Pentium-class host buses. The JTAG chain enables in-system reprogramming of decode maps without desoldering, ideal for industrial PC motherboards and embedded single-board computers.

🌐

Peripheral Interface Glue Logic

The EPM9560WC208-20 serves as a flexible bridge between microcontrollers, memory, and legacy peripherals (ISA bus, PCI, parallel ports, UARTs, FIFOs) where discrete logic would otherwise require many packages. Its 35 LABs and dual 3.3 V/5 V I/O capability let designers mix 5 V peripherals with a 3.3 V processor on the same board without level shifters. Altera reference designs document typical use in ISA-to-PCI bridges and multi-port memory controllers. The 149 I/O count comfortably handles wide data buses plus control signals, and the EEPROM-based non-volatile configuration means the glue logic is ready instantly at power-up.

🏭

Industrial Control and Sequencer Logic

The EPM9560WC208-20 is widely deployed in industrial PLCs, motor controllers, and machine automation where deterministic state-machine behavior and high noise immunity are mandatory. Its 560 macrocells can host multiple parallel state machines for sequencing I/O, interlocks, and safety logic; its 23.6 ns tPD supports sub-microsecond response times for fail-safe shutdown paths. The JTAG BST (IEEE 1149.1) interface supports boundary-scan board test in production, reducing manufacturing test cost. Altera industrial reference designs highlight use in stepper/servo controllers, conveyor sequencers, and process-control front-ends.

🌐

Telecom Backplane Glue Logic

The EPM9560WC208-20 is a workhorse in legacy telecom backplanes where it handles line-card interface logic, clock distribution, alarm steering, and HDB3/AMI encode-decode state machines. With 149 I/O pins the device can fan out to multiple line cards simultaneously, and its EEPROM-based configuration survives brown-outs and hot-swap events without reconfiguration overhead. The dual-voltage I/O makes it compatible with both 5 V legacy backplanes and 3.3 V newer ASICs. Altera application notes document typical use in T1/E1 framers, ATM switches, and SDH/SONET line cards.

🔧

State-Machine and Sequencer Replacement

Designers use the EPM9560WC208-20 to replace discrete MSI/LSI state machines, counters, and sequencers that would otherwise consume 5–10 standard-logic packages. Each macrocell hosts a programmable flip-flop with product-term steering, so 560 macrocells comfortably implement large multi-state controllers with 50+ states and complex branching. The EEPROM technology retains state across power cycles, which is critical for safety interlocks and recovery logic. Altera reference designs show typical use in disk-drive controllers, printer sequencers, and instrumentation state machines.

🖥️

Legacy Computing Platform Emulation

The EPM9560WC208-20 is used by hardware enthusiasts and industrial-repair channels to recreate or replace obsolete glue-logic on legacy 386/486/Pentium motherboards, VMEbus boards, and STD-bus cards. With 560 macrocells the device can host the full chipset decode of an entire AT/PCI platform, and its JTAG port enables field reconfiguration without removing the chip from the socket. The PQFP-208 footprint matches standard 1990s-era motherboard CPLD land patterns, making retrofit straightforward. According to FPGA enthusiast communities, this part is a popular drop-in for repairing industrial PCs that are still in service.

🎥

JTAG-Based System Monitoring and Test

The EPM9560WC208-20’s built-in JTAG BST (boundary-scan test) interface enables board-level interconnect test, cluster-pin diagnostics, and in-field logic reconfiguration without external programmers. Its 149 boundary-scan-capable I/O pins cover entire backplane interconnects, and the IEEE 1149.1 compliance lets it participate in multi-device scan chains with other JTAG devices on the board. Altera’s BSDL files describe the boundary-scan behavior for automatic test-pattern generation. This application is typical in aerospace, defense, and medical electronics where boundary-scan coverage is mandatory.

According to Altera ordering information, both parts share the same pinout, JTAG chain, and Quartus II/MAX+PLUS II programming flow, so they are interchangeable in the same PCB land pattern.
EPM9560WC208-20 vs EPM9560WC208-15: which is better for high-speed decoding?
For high-speed decoding, the EPM9560WC208-15 is the better choice because its 15 ns tPD is roughly 36% faster than the 23.6 ns of the EPM9560WC208-20. According to Altera datasheet timing tables, both share the same PQFP-208 pinout, so selecting the -15 variant on the same PCB delivers higher system clock headroom with zero PCB rework.
Can the EPM9560WC208-15C replace the EPM9560WC208-20 directly?
Yes, the EPM9560WC208-15C can directly replace the EPM9560WC208-20 on the same PCB: both use the identical PQFP-208 land pattern and 560-macrocell die. According to Altera ordering documentation, the only difference is speed grade (15 ns vs 23.6 ns tPD), so the -15C is a strictly superior drop-in replacement for new or repair stock.
Where can I download the EPM9560WC208-20 datasheet PDF?
The official Altera MAX 9000 family datasheet, which covers the EPM9560WC208-20, is available as a PDF from Altera (now Intel FPGA) and is mirrored on datasheet archive sites. According to web search results, datasheet archives host the canonical MAX 9000 datasheet that includes electrical characteristics, timing, and pinout for the EPM9560 in PQFP-208.
What is the pinout of the EPM9560WC208-20?
The EPM9560WC208-20 uses the standard Altera PQFP-208 pinout for the MAX 9000 family, with 149 user I/O pins arranged around the package perimeter plus dedicated JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI), VCCINT, VCCIO, and GND pins. According to the MAX 9000 datasheet, the exact pin assignment is identical to the EPM9560WC208-15/15C variants, enabling drop-in compatibility.
What software is used to program the EPM9560WC208-20?
The EPM9560WC208-20 is programmed using Altera’s MAX+PLUS II or Quartus II toolchain (legacy support), which provides VHDL/Verilog/Schematic design entry, fitting, simulation, and JTAG-based in-system programming via the Altera ByteBlaster or USB-Blaster download cable. According to Intel FPGA’s MAX device support list, Quartus II Service Pack releases maintain backward compatibility for legacy MAX 9000 designs.
Is the EPM9560WC208-20 RoHS compliant?
The EPM9560WC208-20 was originally released before RoHS restrictions and the legacy PQFP-208 variant is generally non-compliant due to lead-bearing termination finish. According to distributor listings and Altera product change notifications, some “R”-suffix variants (e.g., EPM9560RC208-20) are RoHS-compliant equivalents — verify the exact suffix before selecting for RoHS-restricted designs.

دليل الاختيار

Choose the EPM9560WC208-20 when you need a 560-macrocell MAX 9000 CPLD in a PQFP-208 package with 23.6 ns tPD for legacy 5 V designs where RoHS is not required. For higher-speed designs (33–40 MHz combinational paths), choose the EPM9560WC208-15 or EPM9560WC208-15C, which share the same PQFP-208 footprint but offer 15 ns tPD (36% faster). For RoHS-compliant or industrial-temperature designs, choose the EPM9560RC208-20/20C/20N variants — they have identical pinout and macrocell count but use lead-free termination and (in the -20N case) industrial -40C to +85C support. All six parts listed share the same PQFP-208 land pattern and Quartus II/MAX+PLUS II programming flow, enabling PCB reuse across speed, temperature, and compliance options.

ملاحظات التصميم

The EPM9560WC208-20 requires separate VCCINT (5 V internal logic) and VCCIO (3.3 V or 5 V I/O) rails. Per Altera MAX 9000 datasheet, place a 0.1 microfarad ceramic decoupling cap within 1 cm of every VCCINT/VCCIO pin pair, and add 10 microfarad bulk tantalum or ceramic caps at each supply island. Power sequencing is important: VCCINT must rise before or simultaneously with VCCIO to prevent I/O latch-up. Estimated Icc during in-system programming peaks at 200 mA; verify regulator headroom accordingly.

The PQFP-208 package has 0.5 mm lead pitch and gull-wing terminations suitable for standard SMT assembly. Use a land pattern that matches JEDEC MS-026 variation BBA. For high-density boards, escape all 149 I/O signals on inner layers using 0.15 mm vias-in-pad or dog-bone fan-outs; keep JTAG signals (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI) short and route them together to a 4-pin header for programming access.

Do not confuse the 208-pin ceramic CQFP variant (EPM9560WC208-20 — the original) with the 208-pin power PQFP variant (also EPM9560WC208-20 in this listing) — Altera’s product discontinuance notice states the ceramic CQFP was replaced by the power PQFP form-fit-function equivalent. Always verify the actual package markings (Altera logo, country of origin, date code) against the Altera datasheet before ordering. Using the wrong package variant on a board designed for the PQFP footprint will not solder correctly and may mechanically damage the ceramic part.

All 149 I/O pins can be configured as inputs, outputs, or bidirectional; high-speed outputs (>50 MHz) should be configured with controlled slew rate and series termination to limit ground bounce. According to MAX 9000 datasheet application notes, place a 33 ohm series resistor within 5 mm of the CPLD pin on each high-speed output that drives > 50 mm of trace. Use QUARTUS II fitter settings to enable slew-rate control on the relevant pins.
