EPM7256AETI144-7 Présentation
A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile, electrically erasable programmable logic device that combines multiple PAL/GAL-style macrocell arrays on a single chip with a global interconnect fabric. In the broader component hierarchy, a CPLD sits beside the FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) as a non-volatile, instant-on alternative that is well suited to glue-logic, bus-interface, state-machine and power-up control tasks where deterministic timing and zero-config boot are required.
Key features include 7 ns tPD combinational delay, 126.6 MHz maximum operating frequency, IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan support, MultiVolt I/O allowing 2.5 V/3.3 V/5 V interfacing, and dedicated input clocks plus a global OE (output enable). The device is fabricated on a 5 V-tolerant, EEPROM-based architecture that retains its configuration without external memory, eliminating the boot PROM typically required by SRAM-based FPGAs.
Technical depth: each macrocell contains a programmable AND/OR array with a product-term allocator feeding a configurable flip-flop; the 36 I/Os are organized as 4 I/O banks driven by fast input and output registers. With 16 macrocells per Logic Array Block (LAB) and a clear predictable timing model, Quartus / MAX+PLUS II can place-and-route designs with deterministic worst-case fMAX - a property that makes MAX 7000A attractive for protocol bridges and industrial control.
Typical applications include industrial control, bus-interface glue logic, motor control state machines, and legacy peripheral bridging on 3.3 V mixed-voltage boards. The instant-on non-volatile configuration is also well suited to safety-critical and brown-out-tolerant systems. Designers should note that -7 (7 ns) speed grade implies tighter tCO budgets, and JTAG programming reduces fixture complexity in production. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, MAX 7000A drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes not found in a single Altera datasheet.

Applications typiques
EPM7256AETI144-7 convient pour 6 applications: Industrial Control Glue Logic, Bus Interface Bridging, Motor Control State Machines, Legacy Peripheral Bridging, Power-Up Sequencing and Supervisor Logic, Brown-Out-Tolerant Embedded Controllers.
Industrial Control Glue Logic
The EPM7256AETI144-7 fits industrial control glue logic because of its non-volatile instant-on configuration, industrial -40C to +85C temperature grade and deterministic 7 ns pin-to-pin delay. With 256 macrocells and 36 user I/Os it can replace 4-6 discrete 22V10/ GAL devices on a PLC backplane, replacing address decoding, interrupt steering, watchdog timing and bus arbitration in one chip. Unlike SRAM-based FPGAs it requires no boot PROM and therefore survives brown-outs and cold starts without reconfiguration - a critical requirement on factory floors with unstable 24 V supplies.
Recommandé
Bus Interface Bridging
The EPM7256AETI144-7 is well suited to bus-bridge applications such as ISA-to-PCI, parallel-to-LVDS or 8-bit microcontroller to 16-bit/32-bit peripheral translation. Its MultiVolt I/O allows the CPLD to interface 5 V peripherals and 3.3 V processors on the same board without external level shifters, and the 256 macrocells provide enough logic for handshaking, byte-swapping and wait-state insertion. The 7 ns tPD supports synchronous bus cycles up to 126.6 MHz, while JTAG programming lets manufacturers re-spin bus widths in production without reworking the PCB.
Recommandé
Motor Control State Machines
The EPM7256AETI144-7 is a strong fit for motor-drive state machines because its deterministic 7 ns combinational delay and 126.6 MHz fMAX give predictable PWM generation, commutation timing and fault-interval response. Industrial temperature grade lets it sit next to IGBT gate drivers on the same PCB, and 36 user I/Os are enough to handle Hall-sensor inputs, encoder feedback and six PWM channels for a 3-phase inverter. Non-volatile EEPROM configuration means the controller powers up in a known safe state, preventing shoot-through on cold start.
Recommandé
Legacy Peripheral Bridging
Legacy peripherals such as 5 V SRAM, 8-bit parallel ADCs and ISA-bus cards can be bridged to modern 3.3 V MCUs using the EPM7256AETI144-7 with its MultiVolt I/O. The 5 V-tolerant I/O banks connect directly to legacy 5 V devices while the 3.3 V core and 3.3 V I/O connect to the host processor, eliminating discrete level shifters. 256 macrocells accommodate address-latch, chip-select decoder, bus-direction control and timing-glue logic in a single chip, and JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) aids in-circuit test of the bridge.
Recommandé
Power-Up Sequencing and Supervisor Logic
The EPM7256AETI144-7 excels at power-sequencing tasks because its EEPROM-based non-volatile configuration is available the instant VCCINT crosses its threshold - no boot PROM, no configuration delay. A 3-rail board can use a single CPLD to enforce power-up order (core before I/O before analog), monitor PG (power-good) inputs, and assert RESET to downstream processors with millisecond timing. Industrial temp grade and 5 V-tolerant I/O let it monitor 24 V industrial rails, and JTAG allows late-stage firmware adjustments without board rework.
Recommandé
Brown-Out-Tolerant Embedded Controllers
The EPM7256AETI144-7 is a strong fit for brown-out-tolerant embedded controllers because its non-volatile EEPROM configuration retains the logic design across full power loss - no reconfiguration, no boot wait, no spurious outputs on cold start. Combined with its 3.3 V core and 5 V-tolerant I/O, the part can ride through noisy 24 V industrial supplies while keeping deterministic timing for protective interlocks. The 256-macrocell capacity is sufficient for state machines, watchdog timers, fault logging and isolated communication bridges used in remote or battery-backed equipment.

Principaux différenciateurs
- Same-footprint lead-free reflow-ready variant (vs EPM7256AETI144-7N)

- Higher density alternative (vs EPM7256BTC100-7)
Notes de conception
The EPM7256AETI144-7 requires a 3.3 V +/- 5% supply on VCCINT (pins 28 and 101) plus a separately decoupled VCCIO rail that can be 2.5 V, 3.3 V or 5 V depending on the logic family being interfaced. Place a 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor within 5 mm of every VCCINT and VCCIO pin, and a bulk 10 uF tantalum near the package to handle inrush during in-system programming (ISP). Power-up ramp should be monotonic between 0 V and 3.3 V in at least 1 ms for reliable configuration. Estimated Icc at 3.3 V is 30-60 mA in static operation and can rise to ~200 mA during simultaneous switching of all 36 I/Os.
The TQFP-144 package has a 0.5 mm pin pitch and requires fine-pitch PCB design rules: 0.15 mm trace width, 0.15 mm trace spacing and 0.4 mm via diameter. Tie all GND pins (13, 27, 53, 81, 102, 107, 132) to a solid ground plane on the top layer to provide low-impedance return paths for the 36 I/Os. Use 5 mil solder paste on land pads to avoid bridging, and reflow within the JEDEC J-STD-020 profile matching the part finish (SnPb for -7, lead-free for -7N).
Avoid these EPM7256AETI144-7 pitfalls: (1) Do not mix 5 V and 3.3 V on the same VCCIO bank - all I/Os in a bank share one VCCIO and cannot tolerate mixed voltages. (2) Do not apply input signals until VCCINT reaches 3.0 V or 5 V-tolerant I/Os can latch up. (3) JTAG chain length should not exceed 8 devices or the TCK rise time will degrade below 10 ns - insert a JTAG buffer for longer chains. (4) Unused I/O pins must be set to 'output enable off' in the Quartus / MAX+PLUS II pin assignments, otherwise they float and consume power. (5) Do not hot-plug the device when VCCIO is unpowered - the I/Os must be powered before signals are applied.
Informations de conformité
RoHS: non_compliant per part suffix -7 (SnPb finish). Choose -7N for lead-free RoHS reflow compliance. REACH compliant per Altera/Intel product declaration. AEC-Q100 not applicable - this is a commercial/industrial CPLD, not automotive-qualified.
