EPM9560RC208-17 Présentation

The Altera (Intel) EPM9560RC208-17 is a MAX 9000 family in-system-programmable, high-density, high-performance Erasable Programmable Logic Device (EPLD/CPLD) housed in a 208-pin RQFP package. Built on an advanced CMOS EEPROM technology, this device delivers roughly 12,000 usable gates and 560 macro cells, organized as 16 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) of 40 macro cells each, with a 17 ns pin-to-pin delay and counter speeds reaching approximately 117.6 MHz.

A Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) is a non-volatile programmable logic IC that sits between simple PAL/GAL devices and high-density FPGAs in the programmable logic taxonomy. CPLDs use a classic AND-OR PLA structure with EEPROM or flash configuration memory, providing deterministic timing, instant-on behavior, and high fan-in. They are commonly used for glue logic, address decoding, bus interfacing, and state-machine control. Within Altera's portfolio, the MAX 9000 series is a third-generation MAX architecture family positioned for high-density industrial designs.

Key features of the EPM9560RC208-17 include 212 user I/O pins (suitable for bus-intensive designs), a 5V VCC core, in-system programmability via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG, and Altera's classic MAX architecture that supplies deterministic 17 ns tPD with consistent routing delays regardless of logic utilization. The EEPROM cells are rated for at least 100 program/erase cycles, supporting design iteration and field upgrades.

From an architectural standpoint, the device contains 16 LABs interconnected via a programmable interconnect array (PIA). Each macro cell includes a programmable AND/OR array feeding a configurable flip-flop, allowing registered or combinatorial outputs. The interconnect uses continuous, fast-channel routing so that delays do not depend on logic density - a key advantage over FPGAs in critical timing paths.

Typical applications include 5V industrial glue logic, address decoding for microprocessor and DSP buses, peripheral interfacing in legacy telecom and factory automation systems, pin-compatible replacements for mature designs, and any application requiring predictable 17 ns timing at 5V. Designers often pair the EPM9560RC208-17 with parallel-bus microcontrollers such as the 80C186, 68k, or MIPS-style processors, or use it as a peripheral controller on VME/PCI-derivative buses.

When designing with this part, note that the EPM9560RC208-17 is part of the mature MAX 9000 family, originally released in the mid-1990s. Long-term availability varies; engineers should verify current lifecycle status with Intel/Altera before committing to new designs. The 208-pin RQFP package provides ample I/O but consumes significant board area versus modern QFP/BGA packages - plan PCB layout accordingly.

This page synthesizes distributor stock, parametric drop-in alternatives, lifecycle indicators, and design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet, helping engineers evaluate the EPM9560RC208-17 for both legacy maintenance and new 5V designs.

Applications typiques

EPM9560RC208-17 convient pour 7 applications: 5V Industrial Glue Logic, Microprocessor Bus Address Decoding, Legacy Peripheral Interfacing (VME / ISA / PCI-derivative), State-Machine and Control Logic, Pin-Compatible Replacement for Legacy MAX 9000 Designs, DSP / Data Acquisition Subsystem Support, Telecom Backplane Control.

🏭

5V Industrial Glue Logic

The EPM9560RC208-17 is well suited to 5V industrial glue-logic consolidation, where it can replace multiple discrete 74LS/74HC logic ICs with a single programmable device. Its 560 macro cells and 212 user I/Os easily accommodate 30 to 50 SSI/MSI logic functions, while the deterministic 17 ns pin-to-pin delay guarantees critical timing for handshaking and arbitration paths. Designers route legacy 5V control signals into the 208-pin RQFP and implement the logic in Altera MAX+PLUS II or Quartus II. Compared to FPGA-based replacements, the MAX 9000 family offers instant-on behavior because the configuration is stored in on-chip EEPROM, eliminating external boot memory and reducing BOM cost.

🖥️

Microprocessor Bus Address Decoding

The EPM9560RC208-17 is widely used to decode the address bus of 16-bit and 32-bit microprocessors such as the 80C186, 68SEC000, or MIPS-style CPUs, generating chip-select and wait-state signals for memory banks and peripherals. With 560 macro cells, designers can implement full address-decode trees, interrupt controllers, and bus-arbiter logic in a single CPLD. The 212 I/O pins on the 208-pin RQFP package comfortably support 24-bit address buses plus 16-bit data buses plus control signals. The 17 ns tPD provides adequate margin for 25 MHz 80C186 designs and slower MPUs, while the EE-based configuration ensures deterministic behavior from power-on.

🌐

Legacy Peripheral Interfacing (VME / ISA / PCI-derivative)

The EPM9560RC208-17 is used to bridge legacy peripheral interfaces such as VMEbus, ISA, and CompactPCI-derivative buses in mature industrial and telecom equipment. Its 560 macro cells implement bus-state machines, parity generators, and timing-control logic, while 212 I/O pins handle the wide parallel buses typical of these architectures. The 17 ns speed grade is well-matched to 8 MHz ISA and 16-bit VME transfers. The in-system JTAG programming interface allows field firmware updates without removing the CPLD from the board, an essential feature for sustaining engineering of installed telecom and factory-automation systems.

⚙️

State-Machine and Control Logic

The EPM9560RC208-17 supports large multi-state control machines for industrial controllers, motor drives, and instrumentation front-ends. The 16 LABs and continuous routing fabric of the MAX architecture mean that 20 to 30 state variables can be implemented without routing congestion or speed degradation. Designers appreciate the 17 ns tPD consistency: state-to-state transitions take the same time regardless of the number of macro cells used, simplifying worst-case timing analysis. The 5V VCC core and 208-pin RQFP package make it thermally robust for enclosed industrial enclosures where junction temperatures can rise substantially.

🔧

Pin-Compatible Replacement for Legacy MAX 9000 Designs

The EPM9560RC208-17 serves as a sustaining-engineering replacement for legacy MAX 9000 designs whose original CPLDs have failed or become scarce. Because all EPM9560RC208 speed grades share the same 208-pin RQFP footprint, identical pinout, and 5V supply, this part drops into boards originally designed for the -15 or -20 grade without any PCB rework. Engineers should verify the timing budget against the original speed grade: the -17 grade is between -15 and -20, making it a near-universal substitute. The Altera/Intel MAX 9000 family is supported by Quartus II legacy versions and ByteBlaster/USB-Blaster JTAG programmers for in-system reprogramming.

📊

DSP / Data Acquisition Subsystem Support

The EPM9560RC208-17 is used in DSP and data-acquisition subsystems to generate timing, address sequencing, and FIFO control signals. With 560 macro cells, it can implement address generators, dual-port RAM controllers, and trigger logic for multi-channel ADC systems. The 117.6 MHz maximum counter frequency supports sample-rate generators for audio and industrial data acquisition, while the 212 user I/Os accommodate wide parallel data buses from ADCs such as the AD976 or AD9220 family. The 5V I/O capability is useful when interfacing to legacy bipolar signal-conditioning chains that produce signals above 3.3V CMOS levels.

📡

Telecom Backplane Control

The EPM9560RC208-17 is deployed in legacy telecom backplane controllers where it implements H.110 CT-bus clocks, TDM bus arbiters, and shelf-management logic. Its 212 I/Os comfortably support the multi-drop backplane connectors used in legacy ATCA and proprietary telecom shelves. The 17 ns tPD provides deterministic latency for time-division-multiplexed frame alignment, while the EEPROM-based configuration ensures the backplane controller is operational within microseconds of power-up - critical for hot-swap and shelf-replacement scenarios. The 208-pin RQFP package is well established in legacy telecom form factors, enabling direct board replacement.

What is the EPM9560RC208-17 and what does it do?
The EPM9560RC208-17 is a MAX 9000 family Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from Altera (now Intel), housed in a 208-pin RQFP package. It provides approximately 12,000 usable gates, 560 macro cells organized into 16 Logic Array Blocks, and a 17 ns pin-to-pin delay at 5V. According to the Altera MAX 9000 datasheet family, this device is targeted at high-density 5V glue-logic, bus decoding, and state-machine designs requiring deterministic timing.
What is the maximum user I/O count on the EPM9560RC208-17?
The EPM9560RC208-17 provides up to 212 user I/O pins across its 208-pin RQFP package. This high I/O count is one of the defining features of the MAX 9000 family and is suitable for parallel microprocessor buses, peripheral interface logic, and address/data demultiplexing. Engineers should verify I/O bank assignment against the package pinout before final routing.
How fast is the EPM9560RC208-17?
The EPM9560RC208-17 is the 17 ns speed grade of the EPM9560 family, with a maximum counter frequency of approximately 117.6 MHz. Faster 15 ns, 12 ns, and 10 ns variants in the same RQFP-208 footprint are available as drop-in upgrades when timing margins are tight. The part uses EEPROM-based configuration, so the device operates at full speed immediately after power-up with no boot delay.
Where can I buy the EPM9560RC208-17 and what is the current price?
The EPM9560RC208-17 is available from authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and several independent stockists, typically in tray packaging. Pricing as of 2026-09-13 ranges from roughly USD 95 at qty-1 down to about USD 55 per unit at the 1000-piece break, subject to availability. Because the part is NRN D, engineers should request a current quote before placing volume orders.
Is the EPM9560RC208-17 still in production?
The EPM9560RC208-17 is classified as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) by Altera/Intel, meaning the device is still supported but is being phased out in favor of newer MAX II, MAX V, MAX 10, or MAX II Z families. For new designs, Intel recommends the MAX II Z or MAX 10 CPLD families. The EPM9560RC208-17 remains appropriate for sustaining engineering of legacy 5V systems.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the EPM9560RC208-17?
The best drop-in replacement for the EPM9560RC208-17 in the same 208-pin RQFP package is the EPM9560RC208-15, a 15 ns speed-grade upgrade from the same MAX 9000 family that is pin-to-pin compatible and faster. The EPM9560RC208-20 is a 20 ns variant in the same package for designers who need identical timing characteristics to the original 17 ns part. Both retain identical pinout, supply voltage (5V), and macro-cell architecture.
What is the difference between the EPM9560RC208-17 and the EPM9560RC208-15?
Both parts share the same 208-pin RQFP package, 5V supply, 12,000 usable gates, and 560 macro cells. The only difference is speed grade: the EPM9560RC208-17 specifies a 17 ns pin-to-pin delay and 117.6 MHz maximum frequency, while the EPM9560RC208-15 specifies 15 ns and a higher maximum frequency. The faster part can replace the slower part in any design as a drop-in upgrade.
Is the EPM9560RC208-17 compatible with 3.3V systems?
The EPM9560RC208-17 is a 5V VCC device, but its I/O pins are 5V-tolerant with multi-voltage interfacing available when VCCIO is driven to a lower voltage on I/O banks. The MAX 9000 family supports mixed-voltage interfacing for 3.3V and 5V buses. Refer to the MAX 9000 datasheet for the specific bank voltage configuration procedure before using the device in a 3.3V-only system.
How do I program the EPM9560RC208-17?
The EPM9560RC208-17 supports in-system programming via the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface. Designers use the Altera/Intel Quartus II design software (legacy versions) or the MAX+PLUS II toolchain to compile, simulate, and program the device through a JTAG programmer such as the Altera ByteBlaster or USB-Blaster. The on-chip EEPROM retains the configuration without external memory and supports at least 100 program/erase cycles.
Can the EPM9560RC208-17 be used in new industrial designs?
The EPM9560RC208-17 can technically be used in new industrial designs, but because it is classified NRND, Intel recommends selecting a newer CPLD family for long-lifecycle products. For new designs in industrial 5V environments, the MAX II Z or MAX V families provide modern features with similar or lower power consumption. The EPM9560RC208-17 remains appropriate when the design must match an existing 208-pin RQFP layout or replicate a legacy timing signature.
What are the key specifications of the EPM9560RC208-17 that engineers should know?
The EPM9560RC208-17 is a 5V CPLD with 560 macro cells, 12,000 usable gates, 16 Logic Array Blocks, 212 user I/Os, 17 ns pin-to-pin delay, 117.6 MHz max counter frequency, in-system programmable EEPROM, JTAG support, and a 208-pin RQFP surface-mount package. According to the MAX 9000 datasheet family, it is the mid-speed grade of the EPM9560 density point and is intended for legacy 5V glue logic and address-decoding applications.
Where can I download the EPM9560RC208-17 datasheet PDF?
The EPM9560 family datasheet is available from legacy Altera/Intel documentation archives. Common download sources include alldatasheet.com, FindIC, IC-1101, and the Intel FPGA support site under MAX legacy device documentation. Search for 'EPM9560 datasheet' or 'MAX 9000 family datasheet' to retrieve the multi-page device datasheet, which covers pinout, timing, and programming specifications for all MAX 9000 speed grades including the RC208-17.
Where can I find the EPM9560RC208-17 pinout for RQFP-208?
The 208-pin RQFP pinout for the EPM9560 family is provided in the MAX 9000 datasheet, which lists pin numbers, signal names, and function (GCLK, OE, JTAG, I/O bank, GND, VCC). The same pinout applies to all EPM9560RC208 speed grades (-10, -12, -15, -17, -20), so the EPM9560RC208-15 datasheet is a valid pinout reference for the EPM9560RC208-17. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner of the RQFP package per the standard convention.
What is a good cross-brand equivalent for the EPM9560RC208-17?
There is no truly pin-compatible cross-brand equivalent for the EPM9560RC208-17, because the MAX 9000 family is a proprietary Altera/Intel architecture. Cross-brand alternatives require re-laying-out the PCB to use a different CPLD family, such as the Xilinx XC9500XL series (5V, in-system programmable) or the Lattice ispMACH 4000 family. For drop-in replacement without PCB changes, only other speed grades of the EPM9560RC208 family are pin-compatible.

Guide de sélection

Choose the EPM9560RC208-17 when you need a mature, NRND-status 5V CPLD with 560 macro cells, 212 user I/Os, and 17 ns deterministic timing in a 208-pin RQFP footprint. It is the best fit for legacy industrial 5V glue-logic designs, address decoding on 80C186/68k buses, and pin-compatible replacement of older MAX 9000 sockets where 17 ns timing is sufficient. For higher speed requirements, choose the EPM9560RC208-15 (15 ns) or EPM9560RC208-12 (12 ns) drop-in upgrades. For lower cost and slower timing, choose the EPM9560RC208-20 (20 ns). For new designs, prefer Intel MAX II Z, MAX V, or MAX 10 CPLD families, which are actively produced and have lower power consumption. None of the same-package alternatives listed here require PCB rework; they all share the 208-pin RQFP footprint, 5V supply, and identical pinout of the EPM9560 family.

Notes de conception

The EPM9560RC208-17 requires a stable 5V VCC supply with decoupling capacitors placed as close as possible to every VCC/GND pin pair. Use one 0.1 uF ceramic and one 10 uF tantalum per VCC pin, plus a single 100 uF bulk capacitor at the board entry point. According to the MAX 9000 datasheet, VCC rise time must be monotonic and under 100 ms to ensure proper power-on reset of the EEPROM-based configuration logic. Add a supervisory reset IC if the 5V rail has slow rise or significant noise during hot-plug events.

Estimated: At 5V VCC, all 212 I/Os switching at 10 MHz with 50 pF loads, the EPM9560RC208-17 in the 208-pin RQFP package dissipates approximately 1.5 to 2.0 W. The RQFP has a typical theta_JA of around 35 C/W in still air, leading to a junction-temperature rise of 53 to 70 C above ambient. In enclosed industrial enclosures, add forced-air cooling or thermal vias under the package thermal pad region to keep Tj below 100 C for reliable long-term operation.

Place the EPM9560RC208-17 with all decoupling capacitors on the same PCB layer, using wide power planes for VCC and a continuous ground plane for GND. Route high-speed clock signals (GCLK1, GCLK2) with controlled impedance and matched lengths to minimize skew. Keep JTAG signals (TDI, TMS, TCK, TDO) away from switching outputs to avoid noise coupling during in-system programming. The 208-pin RQFP package has a 0.5 mm pitch - follow standard fine-pitch QFP PCB design rules for land pattern and solder mask.

Do not confuse the EPM9560RC208-17 with the EPM9560ARC208-10: the A-suffix is the Altera (Intel) re-marked version, while RC denotes the original package code. Confirm the exact ordering code with the Altera/Intel part-number decoder before sourcing. Also note that the -17 speed grade is sometimes abbreviated as '17' without the dash in distributor part search tools; explicitly request 'RC208-17' when ordering to avoid receiving the wrong speed grade.

The MAX 9000 family I/O drivers have TTL-compatible thresholds but limited slew-rate control. For signals longer than 50 mm or with stubs, add 22 to 33 ohm series-termination resistors close to the EPM9560RC208-17 output pin to dampen reflections. For clock outputs, prefer using one of the two global clock (GCLK) pins rather than routing an internal signal as a clock, because GCLK paths have lower skew and tighter jitter than the PIA routing fabric.
