EPM9560ARC208-10N Présentation

The Altera EPM9560ARC208-10N is a MAX 9000 family Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) with 560 macrocells, 12,000 usable gates, 153 user I/O pins, and a 10 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay, housed in a 208-pin RQFP (PowerQuad II) package. It is a 5 V in-system-programmable EEPROM-based PLD built on Altera's third-generation MAX architecture.

A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a programmable logic IC that combines the architectural structure of a PAL with the density and flexibility of an FPGA. CPLDs sit between simple glue logic and full FPGAs in the programmable logic hierarchy: they offer non-volatile configuration, deterministic pin-to-pin timing, and low standby power, making them ideal for address decoding, bus bridging, state machines, and interface glue. The MAX 9000 family extends this concept to 6,000-12,000 usable gates with counter speeds up to 144 MHz.

Key features of the EPM9560ARC208-10N include 560 macrocells organized in 20 LABs, 153 user I/O pins, 10 ns pin-to-pin delay, 144.9 MHz internal counter frequency, and 5 V CMOS EEPROM technology that retains configuration without an external boot device. The EEPROM-based architecture allows in-system programming (ISP) via the JTAG interface, eliminating the need for a separate configuration PROM.

The MAX 9000 architecture uses a Multiple Array MatriX (MAX) structure with product-term logic, providing predictable timing independent of routing. This deterministic timing behavior is a key advantage over SRAM-based FPGAs for safety-critical and real-time control applications where worst-case delay must be guaranteed.

Typical applications include industrial control backplanes, telecommunications line cards, PCI/ISA bus interfaces, instrumentation front-ends, and legacy system replacement where 5 V logic compatibility is required. The 208-pin RQFP package provides 153 I/O pins for wide bus interfacing.

When designing with this device, note that it is a 5 V core part and requires 5 V supply rails; level shifting is needed when interfacing with 3.3 V or lower logic. The EEPROM configuration is retained for over 20 years, but the device is now obsolete and should be designed out for new projects.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet, providing engineers with a single reference for replacement and migration decisions.

Applications typiques

EPM9560ARC208-10N convient pour 6 applications: Industrial Control Backplane Glue Logic, Telecommunications Line Card Interface, PCI/ISA Bus Bridge and Legacy Replacement, Instrumentation Front-End Control, Military and Aerospace Legacy Systems, Industrial Motor and Motion Control.

🏭

Industrial Control Backplane Glue Logic

The EPM9560ARC208-10N fits industrial control backplanes because its 153 user I/O pins and 560 macrocells can implement wide address decoding, chip-select generation, and bus arbitration in a single device. With a 10 ns pin-to-pin delay, it meets the timing budget of 5 V backplane buses such as VME and ISA without adding wait states. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration means the logic is live immediately at power-up, which is essential for deterministic industrial startup. Designers typically place it between the host CPU and peripheral slots, using the 208-pin RQFP to route 32-bit address and data buses. The trade-off is that the 5 V core dissipates more power than modern 3.3 V CPLDs, so thermal relief on the RQFP pads is recommended.

🌐

Telecommunications Line Card Interface

In telecommunications line cards, the EPM9560ARC208-10N implements protocol glue between framers, DSPs, and backplane interfaces. Its 144.9 MHz internal counter frequency supports T1/E1 and SONET overhead processing, while the 153 I/O pins accommodate multiple serial and parallel interfaces. The deterministic 10 ns pin-to-pin delay is critical for jitter-sensitive clock and frame synchronization paths, where SRAM-based FPGAs would require careful timing closure. The EEPROM configuration also survives hot-swap events without reconfiguration, a requirement in redundant line-card architectures. Engineers typically use the device for HDLC controllers, timeslot interchange, and interrupt aggregation. The main limitation is the 5 V supply, which requires a dedicated rail on modern 3.3 V line cards.

🖥️

PCI/ISA Bus Bridge and Legacy Replacement

The EPM9560ARC208-10N is widely used as a PCI/ISA bus bridge in legacy industrial PCs and embedded controllers. Its 5 V I/O is directly compatible with the ISA bus, and the 560 macrocells can implement bus state machines, wait-state generation, and address translation without external glue. The 208-pin RQFP provides enough pins to interface a 32-bit PCI bus and a 16-bit ISA bus simultaneously. Because the configuration is stored in EEPROM, the bridge is operational within microseconds of power-up, avoiding the boot latency of SRAM FPGAs. Designers replacing obsolete discrete logic use this CPLD to consolidate dozens of 74-series devices. The trade-off is that the device is itself obsolete, so new designs should migrate to MAX V or MAX 10.

🔧

Instrumentation Front-End Control

In test and measurement instrumentation, the EPM9560ARC208-10N sequences ADCs, DACs, and analog switches with deterministic timing. The 10 ns pin-to-pin delay allows precise trigger generation and sample-clock distribution, while the 560 macrocells implement FIFO control, gain switching, and calibration state machines. The 153 I/O pins can drive a wide parallel data bus to a host processor or DSP. Non-volatile EEPROM configuration ensures the instrument boots into a known state without a configuration PROM, simplifying the bill of materials. Engineers often pair it with precision converters such as the CS5532-ASZ or CS5534-ASZ for data acquisition. The 5 V supply is compatible with legacy analog front-ends, but power dissipation must be managed in compact enclosures.

✈️

Military and Aerospace Legacy Systems

The EPM9560ARC208-10N is found in military and aerospace systems where 5 V logic and deterministic timing are mandatory. Its EEPROM configuration is immune to single-event upsets that can corrupt SRAM-based FPGA configuration, an important consideration in radiation environments. The 560 macrocells and 153 I/O pins support complex interface logic for MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, and discrete I/O. The 208-pin RQFP package is available in commercial temperature range only, so thermal management or screening is required for extended-temperature deployments. Because the device is obsolete, sustainment programs rely on broker stock and drop-in alternatives such as the EPM9560ARC208-10. Designers should plan for lifetime buys and consider form-fit-function replacement studies.

⚙️

Industrial Motor and Motion Control

The EPM9560ARC208-10N implements encoder interface, PWM generation, and commutation logic in industrial motor drives. The 144.9 MHz counter frequency supports high-resolution quadrature decoding, while the 10 ns pin-to-pin delay ensures low-latency fault response for overcurrent and position-limit inputs. The 560 macrocells can host multiple axis controllers in one device, reducing board space and component count. Non-volatile configuration means the drive is ready immediately at power-up, which is important for safety-rated machinery. Engineers typically interface the CPLD to a DSP or microcontroller and to gate drivers. The 5 V supply matches legacy gate-driver logic, but modern designs should consider 3.3 V CPLDs to reduce power and improve availability.

The EPM9560ARC208-10N is better for high-speed designs because its -10 speed grade provides a 10 ns pin-to-pin delay, while the EPM9560RC208-15 has a slower 15 ns delay. Both have 560 macrocells and the same 208-pin RQFP package, so the -10N is the drop-in choice when timing margin is critical.
When should I choose EPM9560ARC208-10N over EPM9480RC208-20?
Choose the EPM9560ARC208-10N when you need 560 macrocells and a 10 ns delay; choose the EPM9480RC208-20 only if 480 macrocells and a 20 ns delay are sufficient. The EPM9560ARC208-10N offers 17% more logic and twice the speed, but the EPM9480RC208-20 may be easier to source because it is a different obsolete MAX 9000 family member.
Is EPM9560ARC208-10N suitable for 3.3V logic interfaces?
No, the EPM9560ARC208-10N is a 5 V core and I/O device, so it is not directly compatible with 3.3 V logic without level shifting. According to the MAX 9000 datasheet, the device operates from a 5 V supply and its I/O thresholds are referenced to 5 V. Use a level translator or a 3.3 V CPLD for mixed-voltage designs.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPM9560ARC208-10N?
The best drop-in replacement for the EPM9560ARC208-10N is the EPM9560ARC208-10, which is identical except for lead-free (N) construction. Both share the 208-pin RQFP footprint, 560 macrocells, and 10 ns speed grade. If the -10N is unavailable, the EPM9560ARC208-10 is the closest pin-compatible substitute.
Can EPM9560ARC208-10 replace EPM9560ARC208-10N?
Yes, the EPM9560ARC208-10 can replace the EPM9560ARC208-10N because both are MAX 9000 CPLDs with 560 macrocells, 10 ns pin-to-pin delay, and the same 208-pin RQFP package. The only difference is that the -10N is RoHS-compliant lead-free while the -10 uses leaded solder. Verify your assembly process allows leaded parts before substituting.
Where to download EPM9560ARC208-10N datasheet PDF?
The EPM9560ARC208-10N datasheet PDF is available from the Altera datasheet mirror at alterasemi.com and from distributor pages such as DigiKey and Mouser. The MAX 9000 family datasheet covers the EPM9560 device specifications, including the 560-macrocell architecture, 10 ns timing, and 208-pin RQFP pinout.
Where to find EPM9560ARC208-10N pinout?
The EPM9560ARC208-10N pinout is documented in the MAX 9000 family datasheet, which lists all 208 pins of the RQFP package including 153 user I/O pins, dedicated clock inputs, JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO), and power/ground pins. Distributor pages such as DigiKey and Mouser also link to the pinout diagram.
What is the best Altera equivalent for EPM9560ARC208-10N?
The best Altera equivalent for the EPM9560ARC208-10N is the EPM9560ARC208-10, an identical MAX 9000 CPLD without the RoHS N suffix. Both have 560 macrocells, 12,000 usable gates, 153 I/O pins, and a 10 ns pin-to-pin delay in the 208-pin RQFP package. For new designs, Altera recommends migrating to a modern MAX V or MAX 10 CPLD.

Guide de sélection

Choose the EPM9560ARC208-10N when you need a 5 V, 560-macrocell CPLD with a 10 ns pin-to-pin delay and RoHS-compliant construction in the 208-pin RQFP footprint. If lead-free assembly is not required, the EPM9560ARC208-10 is an identical drop-in that may be easier to source. If your design can tolerate a 15 ns delay, the EPM9560RC208-15 offers the same 560 macrocells at a lower speed grade. When logic requirements are below 480 macrocells, the EPM9480RC208-20 or EPM9480RC208-15 can reduce cost, but verify I/O count and timing margin. Because all MAX 9000 devices are obsolete, plan a lifetime buy or migrate new designs to a modern MAX V or MAX 10 CPLD with a level shifter for 5 V interfaces.

  • Fastest speed grade in the 208-pin MAX 9000 family (vs EPM9560RC208-15)
  • Higher logic density than EPM9480 devices (vs EPM9480RC208-20)

Notes de conception

The EPM9560ARC208-10N requires a regulated 5 V supply for both VCCINT and VCCIO. Decouple every VCC pin with a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the pin, and add a 10 uF bulk capacitor per power plane. Estimated: at 5 V and a typical 150 mA operating current, the device dissipates about 0.75 W; ensure the RQFP thermal pads are connected to a copper plane to keep junction temperature within the commercial 0-70 C range.

The 208-pin RQFP (PowerQuad II) package uses a fine 0.5 mm lead pitch, so use a minimum 0.15 mm trace width and 0.15 mm clearance. Route all VCC and GND pins to dedicated planes rather than daisy-chaining. Place JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) on a short, controlled-impedance path and add a 10 kohm pull-up on TMS to keep the device in a defined state during power-up.

Do not drive the EPM9560ARC208-10N I/O pins above 5 V or below ground, as the CMOS EEPROM process has no overvoltage tolerance. Because the device is obsolete, verify date codes and authenticity from the distributor; counterfeit MAX 9000 parts have been reported. Also confirm that your programmer supports the MAX 9000 JTAG ISP chain, since modern tools may have dropped support for this family.
