EPM9560GC280-15N Présentation
A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile programmable logic device that combines multiple PAL/GAL-like logic blocks with a programmable interconnect matrix. Compared to simple SPLDs, CPLDs deliver higher logic density, deterministic timing, and predictable propagation delays — making them ideal for glue-logic, address decoding, bus interfacing, and state-machine implementation in digital systems.
Key features include a 117.6 MHz maximum clock frequency, JTAG boundary-scan test capability, 5.0-V in-system programmability, and a commercial-grade temperature rating. The MAX architecture provides predictable interconnect delays that are independent of routing, which simplifies static timing analysis and guarantees consistent performance across designs. The device is also reprogrammable, allowing iterative design changes without replacing hardware.
The EPM9560GC280-15N uses electrically erasable CMOS EEPROM configuration memory, retaining its programmed logic without external configuration storage. The MAX 9000 family integrates high-density logic, predictable timing, and ISP into a single package suitable for both prototyping and volume production.
Typical applications include high-density glue logic in telecommunications and networking equipment, peripheral and bus-interface controllers, address decoding in microprocessor systems, state-machine and sequencer logic, and industrial control systems. The 280-pin CPGA package supports through-hole PCB assembly commonly used in legacy telecom and industrial platforms.
When designing with this CPLD, account for the 5.0-V VCC requirement; modern 3.3-V systems need a level-shifting interface. The ceramic CPGA package requires a socket or through-hole footprint, and designers should refer to Altera's MAX 9000 datasheet for I/O banking and pinout details.

Microprocessor Address Decoding and Bank Switching
In legacy 5.0-V microprocessor systems, the EPM9560GC280-15N functions as a high-capacity address decoder and bank-selector. Its 560 macrocells easily handle 32-bit address decoding across multiple memory and I/O banks, with predictable propagation delay of 16.6 ns ensuring clean chip-select timing for the CPU read/write cycle. The JTAG ISP interface lets engineers iterate the decode map on assembled PCBs without replacing the device, which is invaluable during debug. The 280-pin CPGA package is well suited to through-hole backplanes of VME, Multibus, and STD-bus systems where the part still ships in production.

Notes de conception
The EPM9560GC280-15N requires a 5.0-V ±5% supply with a maximum rating of 5.25 V. Place a 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor as close as possible to every VCC pin, and add at least one bulk 10–47 µF tantalum or electrolytic capacitor near the package. The CPGA-280 package typically has 8–12 VCC/GND pairs distributed across the pin grid; failure to decouple all pairs results in logic errors at high clock rates. Verify power sequencing so that VCCIO tracks VCCINT within the datasheet specification to avoid latch-up.
The 280-pin ceramic PGA package requires a through-hole footprint with a PGA socket or pin-in-hole solder joints. Maintain a minimum pad diameter of 1.5 mm with 2.54 mm pitch and via-in-pad stitching for ground returns. Provide at least four PCB layers with a dedicated ground plane beneath the package to control return-path inductance. The ceramic package's CTE mismatch with FR-4 PCBs demands thermal-relief pad geometry — avoid solid thermal ties that stress the ceramic during soldering.
Do not assume the EPM9560GC280-15N is 3.3-V tolerant — its I/O and core both operate at 5.0 V. Driving inputs above 5.25 V or below -0.5 V permanently damages the device. The -N suffix indicates commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C); for industrial applications, request the -I suffix variant. Be aware that the -15 speed grade provides 16.6 ns tPD, which may not meet timing at 125 MHz; choose the -10 grade (10 ns tPD) if your design targets higher frequencies.
The MAX 9000 architecture guarantees fixed interconnect delays, but global clock pins (GCLK1, GCLK2) and JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) still require careful routing. Keep JTAG traces short (<50 mm) and isolate them from switching I/O lines; add a 10 kΩ pull-up on TCK and TMS per IEEE 1149.1 recommendations. For global clocks, route on a dedicated layer with controlled impedance (50 Ω typical) and avoid stubs. Use Altera's MAX+PLUS II timing analyzer to verify setup/hold margins before sign-off.
Informations de conformité
Ceramic PGA packages from the MAX 9000 era (1990s) were not always RoHS compliant; check manufacturer documentation for specific compliance status. AEC-Q100 not applicable — this is a commercial-grade programmable logic device, not an automotive-qualified IC.
