EPM9560RC208-15N Présentation

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPM9560RC208-15N is a high-density CMOS EEPROM-based Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the MAX 9000 family, offering 12,000 usable gates and 560 macrocells in a 208-pin RQFP package. It is built on the third-generation Multiple Array MatriX (MAX) architecture and supports 5.0-V in-system programmability (ISP) through a built-in IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG interface. The -15 speed grade corresponds to a 15 ns pin-to-pin logic delay, enabling a maximum internal operating frequency of approximately 117.6 MHz in pipelined designs.

A Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) is a non-volatile, instantly-on programmable logic IC that sits between small SPLDs/PLDs and large FPGAs in the programmable logic taxonomy (SPLD -> CPLD -> FPGA -> programmable logic -> semiconductor). CPLDs are characterized by deterministic timing (predictable, fixed propagation delays), low static power consumption, and flash/EEPROM-based configuration that retains the bitstream without an external boot memory, making them ideal for glue logic, bus interfacing, power-up sequencing, and high-speed control planes. The MAX architecture arranges macrocells in Logic Array Blocks (LABs) interconnected by a programmable switch matrix called the Programmable Interconnect Array (PIA), giving the EPM9560 family its signature combination of high I/O count and predictable timing.

Key features of the EPM9560RC208-15N include 560 macrocells, 212 user I/O pins (in this 208-RQFP variant), a 15 ns tPD (pin-to-pin delay), 117.6 MHz maximum internal frequency, 5.0 V core operation, and JTAG/IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan test support. The device is offered in a 208-pin Power Quad Flat Pack (RQFP/BQFP) package suitable for socketed or surface-mount legacy designs, with pin counts up to 304 available in the broader MAX 9560 family.

Architecturally, the EPM9560RC208-15N uses EEPROM configuration memory to retain the user logic across power cycles, removing the need for an external configuration PROM. Its deterministic timing model simplifies worst-case static timing analysis in safety-critical and industrial control applications. The 5.0-V tolerant I/O is directly compatible with TTL and CMOS logic families widely used in legacy industrial designs, telecom infrastructure, and military/aerospace subsystems.

Typical applications for the EPM9560RC208-15N include high-speed address decoding and bus interfacing, glue logic for microprocessor/DSP systems, peripheral controllers in industrial automation, telecom backplane bridging, and legacy ASIC/small-FPGA replacement. The 15 ns speed grade suits designs where predictable sub-20 ns timing closure is required without the complexity and boot time of an FPGA.

When designing with this device, confirm that your tool flow targets the legacy MAX+PLUS II or Quartus MAX 9000 device support library; the bitstream is incompatible with newer MAX II/MAX V CPLDs. JTAG programming via the ByteBlasterMV or USB-Blaster download cable is recommended for production programming. Note that the MAX 9000 family is mature/EOL - design for long-life-cycle availability before committing to a new design.

Applications typiques

EPM9560RC208-15N convient pour 6 applications: High-Speed Address Decoding and Bus Interfacing, Industrial Automation and Process Control, Telecom Backplane Bridging and Protocol Conversion, Legacy ASIC and Small-FPGA Replacement, Power-Up Sequencing and Reset Distribution, Military and Aerospace Legacy Avionics.

🔧

High-Speed Address Decoding and Bus Interfacing

The EPM9560RC208-15N's 15 ns pin-to-pin delay and 560 macrocells make it ideal for high-speed address decoding and bus-interfacing glue logic in microprocessor and DSP systems. With 212 user I/O pins in the 208-RQFP variant, the device can decode large memory address spaces and generate chip-select signals for multiple peripherals in parallel - for example, generating 8 chip-selects from a 24-bit address bus within a single clock cycle. Its deterministic timing model lets engineers close timing without false paths, which is critical in industrial control planes where the CPLD sits between a 50-80 MHz host CPU and legacy 5 V peripherals.

🏭

Industrial Automation and Process Control

In industrial automation and process control, the EPM9560RC208-15N serves as a deterministic logic controller for PLC backplanes, sensor aggregation, and motor-driver interfacing. Its 5.0 V I/O directly interfaces with 5 V industrial logic, removing the need for level shifters in 24 V PLC I/O modules. The 560-macrocell capacity is sufficient to implement complex state machines for conveyor sequencing, PID loop control, or safety interlocks. The EEPROM-based configuration retains the bitstream across power cycles, enabling instant-on behavior that is critical in factory-floor shutdown/recovery scenarios.

🌐

Telecom Backplane Bridging and Protocol Conversion

The EPM9560RC208-15N is widely used in telecom backplanes for protocol bridging between legacy TDM buses (H.110, MVIP, SCSA) and newer packet-based fabrics. Its 15 ns tPD and 117.6 MHz internal frequency support sub-20 ns serial-to-parallel conversion and back, while the 212 I/O pins handle the wide parallel buses typical of telecom line cards. The JTAG/IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan interface simplifies in-system test of high-density backplane assemblies. Because MAX 9000 CPLDs have been deployed in telecom infrastructure for 20+ years, the -15N is a known-quantity part for long-life-cycle designs.

✈️

Legacy ASIC and Small-FPGA Replacement

The EPM9560RC208-15N is a popular drop-in replacement for obsolete ASICs and small FPGAs in long-life military, aerospace, and industrial programs. Its 208-RQFP package matches many 1990s-era ASIC footprints, allowing board-level redesign without changing the PCB. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration eliminates the boot PROM and configuration supervisor required by SRAM-based FPGAs, reducing BOM count and improving MTBF. Designers can convert legacy ASIC netlists to MAX+PLUS II HDL or schematic capture, then synthesize into the 560 macrocells to extend product life without re-spinning the board.

⚡

Power-Up Sequencing and Reset Distribution

The EPM9560RC208-15N is ideal for power-up sequencing and reset distribution in multi-rail systems where multiple voltage domains must come up in a specific order to prevent latch-up. Its 5.0 V core and I/O can directly interface with supervisory reset generators, and its deterministic timing ensures precise rail-to-rail sequencing delays. The 560 macrocells comfortably implement 8-16 sequencing channels with watchdog timers and brown-out detection logic. Because the configuration is non-volatile EEPROM, the sequencing logic is active the instant power is applied - critical for FPGAs and ASICs that need a clean reset before their configuration memory loads.

✈️

Military and Aerospace Legacy Avionics

The EPM9560RC208-15N is specified for military temperature ranges and is widely deployed in legacy avionics subsystems, radar signal processing backplanes, and weapons-system controllers. Its 560-macrocell density supports the complex state machines and bus arbiters required in MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, and other avionics data buses. The 208-RQFP package is compatible with the through-hole and socketed assembly methods common in military hardware. While the commercial-grade -15N variant (0C to +70C) is the most available, extended-temperature variants exist within the broader MAX 9560 family for harsh-environment applications.

What is the EPM9560RC208-15N?
The EPM9560RC208-15N is a 560-macrocell, 12,000-gate Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from Intel (formerly Altera) in the MAX 9000 family, housed in a 208-pin RQFP package. It uses CMOS EEPROM configuration memory and operates from a single 5.0 V supply, delivering 15 ns pin-to-pin delay (tPD) and up to 117.6 MHz internal frequency. The "N" suffix denotes a specific commercial temperature/lead-free variant - always verify against the device marking and ordering information in the MAX 9000 datasheet.
How many macrocells and gates does the EPM9560RC208-15N have?
The EPM9560RC208-15N contains 560 macrocells organized into 16 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), each LAB comprising 40 macrocells, plus a Programmable Interconnect Array (PIA) that routes signals between LABs. The MAX 9000 family quotes 12,000 usable gates, which is the typical 100% utilization metric used by Altera/Intel marketing; actual achievable gate count depends on logic depth and I/O usage.
What is the operating voltage of the EPM9560RC208-15N?
The EPM9560RC208-15N operates from a 5.0 V core supply (VCCINT) and supports 5.0 V TTL/CMOS-compatible I/O. This 5 V interface is one of the key reasons MAX 9000 CPLDs remain popular in legacy industrial, telecom, and military designs where 3.3 V-tolerant I/O on newer CPLD families would require level shifters. Do not apply 3.3 V-only signals to the I/O unless you have verified the VIH/VIL thresholds for your specific speed grade.
Where can I buy the EPM9560RC208-15N and what is the price?
The EPM9560RC208-15N is available from authorized distributors including DigiKey (stock code 4162049-ND family), Mouser, Octopart-listed brokers, and franchised aftermarket suppliers such as Ampheo, Jotrin, IC-1101, and FPGAkey. As of 2026-09-13, single-unit pricing is approximately $38.50 USD at quantity 1, dropping to around $19.85 USD per unit at 1000-piece breaks. Because the MAX 9000 family is in last-time-buy status, verify distributor stock and request a quote rather than relying on real-time web pricing.
What is the lead time and stock status for EPM9560RC208-15N?
The EPM9560RC208-15N is in last-time-buy status per Intel/Altera's MAX 9000 lifecycle plan, with limited distributor stock remaining and lead times ranging from immediate (in-stock at franchised distributors) to 8-12 weeks through brokers and aftermarket channels. Engineers designing new production systems should plan for obsolescence and qualify a modern alternative such as MAX V or Lattice MachXO2/3 in parallel. Contact Intel/Altera franchised distributors for the latest Last-Time-Buy (LTB) and Product Discontinuance Notice (PDN) dates.
EPM9560RC208-15N vs EPM9560ARC208-10N - which is faster?
The EPM9560ARC208-10N is a faster speed-grade variant of the same MAX 9560 family, offering a 10 ns pin-to-pin delay (tPD) versus the 15 ns tPD of the EPM9560RC208-15N. Both share the same 560-macrocell density and the 208-RQFP pinout in the same package, making them fully drop-in interchangeable at the board level - the difference is solely the timing speed grade. Choose the -10N if your timing budget requires sub-15 ns logic delay, but expect higher cost and tighter availability than the -15N.
EPM9560RC208-15N vs EPM9560ARC240-10N - which should I use?
The EPM9560RC208-15N (208-pin RQFP, 15 ns tPD) and the EPM9560ARC240-10N (240-pin RQFP, 10 ns tPD) are NOT drop-in compatible because they use different packages (208-RQFP vs 240-RQFP) and therefore different PCB footprints. The 240-pin package provides additional user I/O pins for designs that need more I/O than the 208-pin variant can supply. Choose the 208-pin RC for legacy boards that already have the 208-RQFP footprint; choose the 240-pin ARC for new designs needing more I/O and faster 10 ns timing.
When should I choose the EPM9560RC208-15N over the -10N speed grade?
Choose the EPM9560RC208-15N over the -10N speed grade when your design's critical path fits within the 15 ns tPD budget - typically address decoding, peripheral glue logic, and bus-interface state machines in the 50-80 MHz range. The -15N is usually more available and less expensive than the -10N in the MAX 9560 family because the -15 is the mainstream speed grade. Reserve the -10N for designs that genuinely need sub-15 ns timing closure and have verified static timing in Quartus or MAX+PLUS II.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the EPM9560RC208-15N?
The best drop-in replacement for the EPM9560RC208-15N is the EPM9560RC208-15 (without the -N suffix), which shares the identical 208-RQFP footprint, 560-macrocell density, and 15 ns tPD timing. The "-N" suffix typically denotes a lead-free or specific temperature/lead finish variant - confirm the exact datasheet ordering code with your distributor before substituting. For functional upgrades within the same footprint, the EPM9560ARC208-10N offers the same 208-RQFP pinout at a faster 10 ns speed grade.
Where can I download the EPM9560RC208-15N datasheet PDF?
The MAX 9000 family datasheet (covering the EPM9560RC208-15N along with all other MAX 9560 variants) can be downloaded from the Altera/Intel legacy documentation archive, third-party datasheet aggregators such as DigChip (digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/033/EPM9560RC208-15.php), and IC-1101/Semiconductors-IC distributor product pages. Because the MAX 9000 family is no longer actively marketed by Intel, the datasheet is also commonly available as scanned PDF from FPGAkey and Jotrin product listings.
Where do I find the pinout diagram for the EPM9560RC208-15N?
The 208-pin RQFP pinout for the EPM9560RC208-15N is published in the MAX 9000 datasheet pin tables (organized by pin number with signal name, type, and function). The 208-RQFP package is a Power Quad Flat Pack with pins on all four sides; pin 1 is identified by the indicator dot on the top surface. Cross-reference the signal name against your Quartus or MAX+PLUS II pin assignment file before PCB layout or rework.
Is the EPM9560RC208-15N RoHS compliant?
The RoHS compliance of the EPM9560RC208-15N depends on the exact part marking and date code - early MAX 9000 inventory uses SnPb (leaded) finish, while later "N" suffix variants are typically lead-free/RoHS-compliant. Confirm RoHS status against the specific lot's Certificate of Conformance (CoC) from your distributor, or specify the lead-free "N" ordering code up front. The MAX 9000 family was not originally designed for full Pb-free assembly, so verify reflow profile compatibility with your manufacturing line.
Is the EPM9560RC208-15N the same as the EPM9560ARC208-10N?
No, the EPM9560RC208-15N and EPM9560ARC208-10N are different speed grades of the same MAX 9560 family. The RC suffix denotes the 15 ns speed grade, while the ARC suffix denotes the faster 10 ns speed grade. Both share the same 208-pin RQFP package and 560-macrocell density, so they are drop-in pin-compatible, but the timing model differs - place the appropriate MAX 9000 device library in your Quartus project before synthesis.
What is the equivalent Lattice or Xilinx part for the EPM9560RC208-15N?
There is no direct Lattice or Xilinx drop-in replacement for the EPM9560RC208-15N in the same 208-RQFP footprint because competing CPLD families (Lattice MachXO2/3, Xilinx CoolRunner-II) use different packages and pinouts. For functional migration, consider the Lattice ispMACH 4000ZE/ZE family (similar density, 5 V-tolerant variants available in 208-TQFP) or the Xilinx XC9500XL series (3.3 V supply, requiring a small power-rail change). All such migrations require PCB rework and full re-qualification - they are functional equivalents, not drop-in parts.
What are the key specifications of the EPM9560RC208-15N that engineers should know?
Engineers evaluating the EPM9560RC208-15N should focus on four key parameters: 560 macrocells of logic capacity, 15 ns pin-to-pin delay (tPD) suitable for ~67 MHz synchronous designs, 117.6 MHz maximum internal frequency for pipelined datapaths, and 212 user I/O pins (in the 208-RQFP variant of the MAX 9560 family). The device uses 5.0 V core and I/O supply, in-system programmable via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG, and stores its configuration in non-volatile CMOS EEPROM - no external boot PROM is required. Lifecycle status is last-time-buy, so plan for obsolescence.

Guide de sélection

Choose the EPM9560RC208-15N for legacy industrial, telecom, and military designs that need a non-volatile, deterministic 5.0 V CPLD with up to 560 macrocells, 212 user I/O, and 15 ns tPD timing - and where the existing PCB already has the 208-RQFP footprint. The -15N is the mainstream speed grade with the broadest distributor availability and the lowest price point in the MAX 9560 family. Choose the -10N speed-grade variant only if static timing analysis proves the design requires sub-15 ns logic delay; otherwise the -15N provides equivalent functionality at lower cost. Avoid using MAX 9000 for new high-volume production designs unless long-life-cycle supply is already secured - migrate to MAX V, MAX 10, or Lattice MachXO2/3 for new platforms. All 208-RQFP MAX 9560 variants share the same pinout and can be socketed or soldered interchangeably.

Principaux différenciateurs

  • Standard mainstream speed grade with best availability (vs EPM9560RC208-10N)
  • Lead-free / RoHS-compliant N-suffix finish (vs EPM9560RC208-15)
  • 208-pin RQFP footprint compatible across entire MAX 9560 family (vs EPM9560RC240-15)

Notes de conception

The EPM9560RC208-15N draws Icc from a single 5.0 V rail; consult the MAX 9000 datasheet DC characteristics for Icc vs frequency and vs output switching loading. Estimated: with 50% I/O toggling at 50 MHz into 50 pF loads, expect ICC in the 200-400 mA range. Provide at least four 0.1 uF decoupling capacitors placed adjacent to VCC/GND pin pairs around the 208-RQFP perimeter, plus a bulk 10-47 uF tantalum or ceramic capacitor at the supply entry point. Add a bulk reservoir to handle simultaneous-output-switching (SSO) current spikes that can exceed 1 A on densely-switching outputs.

The 208-RQFP package has 0.5 mm pin pitch with gull-wing leads on all four sides - use a 4-layer PCB with continuous ground and power planes to minimize ground bounce and SSO noise. Estimated: keep all signal traces shorter than 50 mm to avoid transmission-line effects above 50 MHz, and use 33 ohm series termination on clock outputs driving more than 25 mm of trace. Provide a solid ground plane directly under the device to reduce EMI; the RQFP package's exposed leads make excellent thermal vias when stitched to inner ground planes.

The MAX 9000 family is in last-time-buy status, so design for long-term obsolescence before committing to a new production design. Common pitfalls include: (1) using MAX+PLUS II instead of Quartus - both are supported but Quartus MAX 9000 device support requires the legacy device library installation; (2) assuming signal-soft or buffered feature compatibility with MAX 7000 - register all I/O configurations explicitly in the project; (3) forgetting the JTAG TCK pull-down and TMS pull-up resistors required for reliable in-system programming; (4) mating a -15N design with an -10N footprint without re-running static timing analysis.

Place JTAG pins TDI, TMS, TCK, and TDO on accessible board test points or a 2x5 pin header for in-system programming via ByteBlasterMV or USB-Blaster. Estimated: route JTAG signals with the same 50 mm trace-length guideline as other high-speed signals to avoid programming failures. Add a JTAG chain-include resistor network if multiple JTAG devices share the bus, and document the JTAG chain order in the design files. For production programming, the IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan interface also enables in-circuit test (ICT) for bed-of-nails fixtures.

RoHS/REACH/lead-free status depends on the specific part marking and date code. The -N suffix generally indicates lead-free/RoHS-compliant finish for newer manufacturing lots, but always verify against the Certificate of Conformance (CoC) from your franchised distributor. MAX 9000 family is not AEC-Q100 qualified - automotive applications require separate qualification.
