EPM7512BQC208-5 Présentation

The Altera EPM7512BQC208-5 is a MAX 7000B family Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) with 512 macrocells, 10,000 usable gates, 176 user I/O pins, and a 5 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay, housed in a 208-pin PQFP (28x28 mm) package and operating from a 2.5 V core supply. It is an EEPROM-based, in-system programmable (ISP) device built on the second-generation Multiple Array MatriX (MAX) architecture.

A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a programmable logic IC that combines multiple logic array blocks and macrocells with non-volatile configuration memory, allowing designers to implement glue logic, state machines, and bus interfaces without an external configuration device. In the logic IC hierarchy, a CPLD sits between simple PLDs (PAL/GAL) and FPGAs: CPLDs offer deterministic, single-cycle timing and instant-on operation, while FPGAs offer higher logic density. The MAX 7000B family is the 2.5 V evolution of the industry-standard MAX 7000 architecture.

Key features include 512 macrocells organized into 16 logic array blocks, 176 user I/O pins, a 163.9 MHz internal frequency (5 ns tPD), and EEPROM configuration that retains the design without power. The 2.5 V core reduces dynamic power versus 5 V MAX 7000S devices, and the device supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan for in-system programming and board-level test.

The MAX 7000B architecture uses a programmable interconnect array (PIA) to route all logic signals, giving fully deterministic pin-to-pin delays independent of routing. Each macrocell provides a flip-flop with individual clock, clear, and preset, plus programmable output slew-rate and open-drain options. The 208-pin PQFP package provides 176 I/O with a 0.5 mm lead pitch.

Typical applications include PCI/ISA bus glue logic, DSP and microcontroller interface logic, memory controllers, and industrial control state machines. The 5 ns delay and 163.9 MHz operation suit address decoding and handshake logic where predictable timing matters more than raw gate count.

When designing with this device, note that the -5 speed grade is the fastest MAX 7000B grade and that the 2.5 V core requires level-compatible I/O planning for 3.3 V or 5 V peripherals. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet.

Applications typiques

EPM7512BQC208-5 convient pour 6 applications: PCI/ISA Bus Glue Logic, DSP and Microcontroller Interface Logic, Industrial Control State Machines, Memory Controller and Address Decoding, Telecom and Networking Line Cards, Legacy Board Sustainment and Repair.

🖥️

PCI/ISA Bus Glue Logic

The EPM7512BQC208-5 fits PCI and ISA bus glue logic because its 5 ns pin-to-pin delay and 163.9 MHz internal frequency provide deterministic, single-cycle address decoding and handshake generation without the routing-dependent timing of an FPGA. With 176 user I/O and 512 macrocells, it can absorb bus transceivers, wait-state generators, and chip-select decoders in one device. The EEPROM configuration means the logic is live within microseconds of power-up, satisfying PCI's requirement that configuration logic be ready before the host releases reset. A typical implementation places the CPLD between the host bridge and peripheral devices, decoding address and command lines and driving chip selects; the trade-off is that the 2.5 V core requires level-compatible I/O planning for 3.3 V or 5 V bus signals.

🔧

DSP and Microcontroller Interface Logic

The EPM7512BQC208-5 is well suited to interfacing DSPs and microcontrollers to peripherals because its 512 macrocells can implement address decoding, wait-state generation, FIFO control, and interrupt aggregation while its 5 ns tPD keeps interface timing predictable. The 176 user I/O pins allow wide data and address buses to be routed directly, and the non-volatile EEPROM configuration removes the boot-time dependency that an SRAM-based FPGA would impose on the host processor. In a typical design the CPLD sits between a DSP's external memory interface and devices such as ADCs, DACs, or dual-port RAM, translating bus protocols and generating control strobes. The main trade-off is static power: the MAX 7000B architecture draws more quiescent current than modern MAX V or MAX 10 devices, which matters in always-on systems.

🏭

Industrial Control State Machines

The EPM7512BQC208-5 suits industrial control state machines because its 512 macrocells and 16 logic array blocks can implement multiple concurrent state machines with deterministic 5 ns response, and its EEPROM configuration survives power cycling without a battery or boot PROM. In factory automation equipment, the CPLD typically sequences actuators, debounces sensor inputs, and enforces safety interlocks, where a missed or jittery transition can cause mechanical damage. The 176 I/O pins allow direct connection to opto-isolated inputs and relay drivers, and the 0C to 70C commercial temperature range is adequate for cabinet-mounted controllers. The trade-off is that the commercial grade is not rated for the -40C to +85C industrial range, so designs exposed to wide ambient swings should use an industrial-grade MAX 7000B variant instead.

🖥️

Memory Controller and Address Decoding

The EPM7512BQC208-5 is used for memory controller and address-decoding logic because its 5 ns propagation delay allows chip-select and RAS/CAS generation to meet tight DRAM and SRAM timing windows, while 512 macrocells can hold refresh counters, wait-state logic, and bank decoders simultaneously. The 176 user I/O pins accommodate wide address and data buses, and the EEPROM configuration ensures the controller is active immediately at power-up, before the processor begins its first memory fetch. In a typical board the CPLD decodes the processor address bus into bank selects and generates the memory control strobes, replacing several discrete 74-series devices. The trade-off is that the 2.5 V core limits direct interfacing to 5 V memory buses, so level shifters or series resistors may be required.

🌐

Telecom and Networking Line Cards

The EPM7512BQC208-5 fits telecom and networking line cards because its 163.9 MHz internal frequency and 5 ns tPD support the handshake, framing, and backplane-interface logic used in T1/E1 and early Ethernet line cards, while 512 macrocells absorb glue logic that would otherwise require several discrete devices. The 176 user I/O pins allow direct connection to backplane connectors and PHY devices, and the non-volatile EEPROM configuration means the card's logic is ready immediately after hot-swap power-up, avoiding the configuration delay of an SRAM FPGA. In a typical design the CPLD implements the local bus interface, interrupt aggregation, and LED/status logic. The trade-off is that the MAX 7000B family is obsolete, so new line-card designs should migrate to an active CPLD or small FPGA family.

Legacy Board Sustainment and Repair

The EPM7512BQC208-5 is widely used for legacy board sustainment because it is the original MAX 7000B device found on many 1990s and 2000s industrial, medical, and telecom boards, and replacement units must match the original 208-pin PQFP footprint and 2.5 V core exactly. When a board fails, the CPLD is often the only programmable device that cannot be substituted without a layout change, so sourcing genuine EPM7512BQC208-5 stock with valid date codes is critical. The EEPROM configuration also means a replacement device must be reprogrammed with the original JEDEC or POF file before installation. The trade-off is obsolescence risk: because the family is no longer produced, sustainment engineers should qualify the EPM7512BQC208-10 as a slower drop-in and stock both grades.

What is the EPM7512BQC208-5?
The EPM7512BQC208-5 is an Altera MAX 7000B family CPLD with 512 macrocells, 10,000 usable gates, and 176 user I/O pins in a 208-pin PQFP package. It is an EEPROM-based in-system programmable logic device operating from a 2.5 V core supply with a 5 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay and 163.9 MHz internal frequency.
What are the key specifications of EPM7512BQC208-5 that engineers should know?
The EPM7512BQC208-5 offers 512 macrocells, 10,000 usable gates, 176 user I/O, 5 ns tPD, 163.9 MHz internal frequency, and 2.375 V to 2.625 V core supply in a 208-pin PQFP (28x28 mm) package. It is in-system programmable via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG and retains configuration in EEPROM without an external boot device.
What is the difference between EPM7512BQC208-5 and EPM7512BQC208-10?
The EPM7512BQC208-5 is the faster speed grade with 5 ns pin-to-pin delay and 163.9 MHz internal frequency, while the EPM7512BQC208-10 is the slower grade with 10 ns delay and approximately 125 MHz. Both share the same 512-macrocell MAX 7000B die and the identical 208-pin PQFP footprint, so they are drop-in interchangeable when timing margin permits.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPM7512BQC208-5?
The EPM7512BQC208-10 is the best drop-in replacement: it uses the same MAX 7000B die and the same 208-pin PQFP footprint, differing only in speed grade (10 ns vs 5 ns tPD). If the design has timing margin, it can be substituted without PCB changes. The EPM7512BFI256-7 is not drop-in because it uses a 256-pin FineLine BGA package.
Can EPM7512BQC208-10 replace EPM7512BQC208-5?
Yes, the EPM7512BQC208-10 can replace the EPM7512BQC208-5 in most designs because both are MAX 7000B devices with 512 macrocells and the same 208-pin PQFP pinout. The trade-off is slower timing: 10 ns tPD versus 5 ns. Verify that your critical path still meets setup and hold requirements at the reduced 125 MHz-class internal frequency before substituting.
Where to buy EPM7512BQC208-5 online?
The EPM7512BQC208-5 is available through authorized and independent distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and Rochester Electronics, with reference pricing starting at approximately $52.96 per unit as of 2026-09-13. Because the device is obsolete, availability is limited to remaining distributor and broker stock, so confirm inventory and date codes before ordering production quantities.
What is the price of EPM7512BQC208-5?
Reference pricing for the EPM7512BQC208-5 starts at approximately $52.96 for quantity 1 as of 2026-09-13, based on distributor listings. Volume pricing typically drops to roughly $38 to $45 per unit at 500 to 1000 pieces. As an obsolete MAX 7000B device, pricing is driven by remaining stock rather than current production, so quotes should be revalidated at order time.
What is the lead time for EPM7512BQC208-5?
Lead time for the EPM7512BQC208-5 depends entirely on distributor or broker stock because the MAX 7000B family is obsolete and no longer in production. In-stock quantities ship immediately, while larger volumes may require sourcing from the secondary market with lead times of several weeks. Always request a date-code and authenticity report before committing to a production build.
Is EPM7512BQC208-5 in stock?
Stock for the EPM7512BQC208-5 varies by distributor and is limited because the part is obsolete. Some listings show zero units on hand while others hold remaining inventory. Because availability changes daily, check DigiKey, Mouser, and Rochester Electronics listings directly and confirm quantity, date code, and packaging before placing an order.
Where to download EPM7512BQC208-5 datasheet PDF?
The EPM7512BQC208-5 datasheet is available from Intel (which acquired Altera) and from distributor pages such as DigiKey, Mouser, and FindIC. The MAX 7000B family datasheet covers the EPM7512B device, including the 208-pin PQFP pinout, DC and AC specifications, and JTAG programming details. Always download from the manufacturer or an authorized distributor to ensure the current revision.
Where to find EPM7512BQC208-5 pinout?
The EPM7512BQC208-5 pinout is documented in the MAX 7000B family datasheet and on distributor product pages such as DigiKey and LCSC, which publish pin diagrams and footprint drawings. The device uses a 208-pin PQFP with 176 user I/O, dedicated JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO), and multiple VCCINT and GND pins distributed around the package for power integrity.
What is the best Altera equivalent for EPM7512BQC208-5?
Within the Altera MAX 7000B family, the EPM7512BQC208-10 is the closest equivalent, sharing the same 512-macrocell die and 208-pin PQFP footprint with a slower 10 ns speed grade. The EPM7512BFI256-7 offers the same logic density in a 256-pin FineLine BGA, which requires a different PCB footprint and is therefore not a drop-in equivalent.
Is EPM7512BQC208-5 the same as EPM7512BQC208-10?
No, they are not identical: the EPM7512BQC208-5 is the 5 ns speed grade and the EPM7512BQC208-10 is the 10 ns speed grade. They are, however, the same MAX 7000B die in the same 208-pin PQFP package with identical pinouts, so they are functionally interchangeable when the design tolerates the slower timing.
Is EPM7512BQC208-5 suitable for new designs?
No, the EPM7512BQC208-5 is not recommended for new designs because the MAX 7000B family is obsolete and no longer manufactured. New designs should use an active CPLD family such as the Altera MAX V or MAX 10, or a small FPGA, which offer lower power, higher density, and long-term availability. The EPM7512BQC208-5 remains suitable only for sustaining existing boards.

Guide de sélection

Choose the EPM7512BQC208-5 when you are sustaining an existing board that already uses this exact 208-pin PQFP footprint and needs the full 5 ns timing of the fastest MAX 7000B grade. If your critical path has margin, choose the EPM7512BQC208-10 instead: it is the same die and pinout at a lower cost and better availability. If you need more I/O or a smaller board area and can accept a BGA footprint, the EPM7512BFC256-7 or EPM7512BFI256-7 offer 212 user I/O in a 256-pin FineLine BGA, with the FI variant adding the -40C to +85C industrial range. If your design runs from a 3.3 V rail, the EPM7512AEQC208-7 provides the same 512 macrocells and 208-pin PQFP footprint at 3.3 V. For any new design, do not select this obsolete family at all: migrate to an active Altera MAX V or MAX 10 CPLD, which offer lower power, higher density, and long-term availability.

Principaux différenciateurs

  • Fastest MAX 7000B speed grade (vs EPM7512BQC208-10)
  • 208-pin PQFP footprint with 176 I/O (vs EPM7512BFC256-7)
  • 2.5 V core for lower dynamic power (vs EPM7512AEQC208-7)
  • Commercial temperature grade at lowest cost (vs EPM7512BFI256-7)

Notes de conception

Decouple every VCCINT pin with a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the pin, plus at least one 10 uF bulk capacitor per power plane region. The MAX 7000B core draws transient current during macrocell switching, and inadequate decoupling causes ground bounce that can corrupt EEPROM configuration during ISP. Estimated: at 163.9 MHz with 512 macrocells toggling, dynamic current can exceed 100 mA, so size the 2.5 V regulator for at least 300 mA with good transient response.

Route the JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) as short, controlled-impedance traces and keep TCK away from high-speed user I/O to avoid clock injection during in-system programming. Terminate TDO with a pull-up and TCK with a pull-down per the MAX 7000B programming guidelines. Place the JTAG header close to the device so the programming cable does not add excessive stub length, which can cause ISP failures on marginal setups.

Do not assume the EPM7512BQC208-5 is a drop-in for 5 V MAX 7000S designs: the 2.5 V core requires level-compatible I/O planning for 3.3 V or 5 V peripherals, and direct 5 V drive into I/O pins can exceed absolute maximum ratings. Also verify that the -5 speed grade timing is actually required; substituting the EPM7512BQC208-10 (10 ns) reduces cost and improves availability if the critical path has margin. Estimated: a 10 ns tPD adds 5 ns to each combinational path, which at 50 MHz consumes 25% of a 20 ns period.
