EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 סקירה

The Altera EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 is a high-density, 3.3-V CMOS EEPROM-based Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the MAX 3000A family, supplied in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP-208 / FQFP-208) with gull-wing leads. Per the manufacturer datasheet, the device integrates 512 macrocells, 10,000 usable gates, 32 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), and 172 programmable user I/O pins, making it one of the densest members of the legacy MAX 3000A lineup. It features a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns and a maximum internal operating frequency of 116.3 MHz, suitable for bus-interface glue logic, address decoding, and state-machine control in industrial and commercial systems.

A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile, instantly-on programmable logic device that sits between simple PAL/GAL devices and higher-density FPGAs in the programmable logic hierarchy: PAL/GAL -> CPLD -> FPGA -> SoC FPGA. CPLDs are built from non-volatile memory (EEPROM or flash) and provide deterministic, fixed propagation-delay timing that does not change with logic utilization, which is why MAX 3000A parts remain popular for latency-critical control paths and power-sequencing logic.

Key features of the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 include in-system programmability (ISP) via the IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG interface, IEEE Std. 1532 concurrent ISP compliance for multi-vendor programming, and built-in boundary-scan test (BST) circuitry. The device operates from a single 3.3 V supply (3.0 V to 3.6 V) and is offered in the commercial 0 C to 70 C temperature grade. MultiVolt I/O allows interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic without external level shifters.

Architecturally, the MAX 3000A family uses a classic MAX routing architecture with each LAB containing 16 macrocells connected via a Programmable Interconnect Array (PIA). The 512-macrocell density supports wide datapath and registered-state implementations. The 208-pin PQFP package places the 172 user I/Os across four I/O banks, giving designers flexible pin assignment for memory or peripheral interfaces.

Typical applications include glue logic for legacy microprocessor and DSP buses, address decoding and chip-select generation, peripheral interfacing (UART, FIFO, SRAM/DRAM controllers), industrial control boards, and printed-circuit-board power-up sequencing. The instant-on, non-volatile nature makes the EPM3512A particularly attractive for safety-critical or deterministic-boot designs.

When designing with the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20, ensure that the 208-pin PQFP land pattern is correctly dimensioned for the FQFP-208 (also labelled BFQFP-208 / PQFP-208 in distributor catalogues) footprint, allow clearance for the lead span, and observe the 3.3-V core supply decoupling scheme recommended in the MAX 3000A family datasheet.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, same-brand and cross-brand drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone, providing a one-stop reference for engineers evaluating, sourcing, or replacing the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20.

EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 מתאים עבור 6 יישוםs: Microprocessor / DSP Bus Glue Logic, Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation, Industrial Control Board Logic, Power-Sequencing and Reset Distribution, Peripheral Interface Bridging, Legacy Telecom Backplane Glue Logic.

🖥️

Microprocessor / DSP Bus Glue Logic

The EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 with 512 macrocells and 7.5 ns tPD serves as deterministic glue logic between legacy microprocessors, DSPs, and peripherals. It decodes address buses, generates chip-selects, and converts bus widths without the variable timing of an FPGA. Its non-volatile EEPROM cells boot in microseconds, eliminating FPGA configuration delays and making it ideal for cold-boot-critical systems. The 172 user I/Os comfortably route 32-bit address plus 32-bit data plus control signals, and the 116.3 MHz internal frequency supports up to ~66 MHz synchronous bus interfaces.

🧩

Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation

With 32 LABs and 512 macrocells, the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 can implement large address-decoding trees for memory maps spanning multiple banks of SRAM, DRAM, Flash, and peripherals. Each macrocell provides a programmable product term, register, and tri-state control, enabling registered chip-select outputs that meet 7.5 ns setup time for modern microprocessors. The deterministic tPD simplifies worst-case timing closure, and the 172 I/Os comfortably address 20+ peripheral chip-selects with margin for future expansion.

🏭

Industrial Control Board Logic

The 0 C to 70 C commercial temperature range and robust CMOS EEPROM technology of the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 suit it for industrial control boards requiring deterministic I/O timing. The device consolidates dozens of 74-series TTL/CMOS glue parts into a single IC, reducing PCB area, BOM count, and supply-chain risk on long-lifecycle industrial products. The JTAG-supported ISP allows in-field firmware updates without removing the board from the chassis, and the 208-pin PQFP package is friendly to through-hole-like rework on legacy manufacturing lines.

⚡

Power-Sequencing and Reset Distribution

The instant-on, non-volatile nature of the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 makes it well suited to power-rail sequencing in multi-voltage systems. It can monitor voltage-rail good signals from supervisors and assert enables to DC-DC converters and LDOs in a defined order with microsecond timing precision, eliminating the timing variability of discrete RC delay networks. Its 7.5 ns propagation delay supports tight sequencing of rails for processors requiring strict power-on order, and the 172 user I/Os comfortably handle 10+ independent power domains with margin.

🌐

Peripheral Interface Bridging

The EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 bridges between incompatible peripheral interfaces - for example, converting a parallel FIFO bus to an SPI-controlled GPIO expander, or translating an Intel-style bus to a Motorola-style bus for legacy peripherals. Its 116.3 MHz internal frequency supports up to 50 MHz state-machine operation, sufficient for UART, SPI, I2C, and parallel-port bridging at standard baud rates. MultiVolt I/O (1.8/2.5/3.3 V) lets it sit directly between modern SoCs and 5 V-tolerant legacy peripherals.

📱

Legacy Telecom Backplane Glue Logic

Telecom backplanes built around ATCA / CompactPCI architectures still rely on MAX 3000A CPLDs for hot-swap control, I2C management bus isolation, and interrupt routing. The EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20's 172 I/Os comfortably aggregate multiple board-management signals, and its 3.3 V core with 5 V-tolerant I/O is ideal for mixed-voltage backplane environments. The JTAG-supported ISP enables in-system firmware updates during board bring-up without removing line cards from service.

The official MAX 3000A family datasheet (covering the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20) can be downloaded from the alterasemi.com archive at https://www.alterasemi.com/datasheet/alterasemi/EPM3512AQC208-7N.pdf. Mirror copies are also indexed at alldatasheet.com and digchip.com.
What is the difference between EPM3512AQC208-7N and EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20?
The EPM3512AQC208-7N and EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 share the same 512-macrocell die, 208-pin PQFP package, and 7.5 ns speed grade. The '/I20' suffix is an internal lot/tray designation used by some distributors for industrial-grade supply-chain tracking; electrical specifications are identical to the standard -7N part.
How many user I/O pins does the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 expose?
The EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 exposes up to 172 user I/O pins, distributed across four MultiVolt-compatible I/O banks. The remaining 208-172=36 pins are reserved for supply (VCCINT, VCCIO), ground, JTAG (TDI/TDO/TMS/TCK), and dedicated inputs such as GCLK and OE.
Is there a drop-in replacement for the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20?
Yes - the most common drop-in choices are other speed-grade variants of the same EPM3512A die in the 208-pin PQFP package (EPM3512AQC208-10N at 10 ns, EPM3512AQC208-15N at 15 ns), or the larger-package EPM3512AFC256-7N in the 256-pin BGA. Cross-brand drop-in options are limited because the MAX 3000A JTAG/ISP architecture is Altera-proprietary.
EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 vs EPM3512AQC208-10N - which should I choose?
Choose EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 (7.5 ns tPD) when your design requires the maximum 116.3 MHz internal frequency or the tightest address-decoding setup margin. Choose EPM3512AQC208-10N (10 ns tPD, ~80 MHz) when 10 ns timing is sufficient, because the -10 speed grade is more widely stocked and typically 15-25% cheaper per unit.
What is the best cross-brand equivalent for EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20?
There is no true pin-to-pin cross-brand equivalent because the MAX 3000A architecture (including JTAG instruction set and ISP flow) is Altera/Intel proprietary. The closest functional alternatives are Lattice Semiconductor ispMACH 4000ZE series CPLDs of similar macrocell count, but they require board rework (different package, different JTAG pinout) and therefore are not drop-in compatible.
Can the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 be used in a 5 V system?
No. The EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 is a 3.3 V core device; the absolute maximum VCCINT is 4.0 V per the MAX 3000A datasheet. For legacy 5 V systems, use a 3.3 V LDO to power the CPLD and rely on its 5 V-tolerant I/O (the MAX 3000A I/O pins tolerate 5 V input when VCCIO is 3.3 V) for incoming signals.
What is the price of EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 as of 2026?
As of 2026-09-12, the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 lists at approximately 69.02 USD per unit at qty-1 on the open market, with distributor breaks at roughly 62.10 USD (qty 10), 48.50 USD (qty 100), 39.20 USD (qty 500), and 33.40 USD (qty 1000). Pricing is highly volatile because the part is obsolete and trades on availability rather than MSRP.
Is the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 RoHS compliant?
RoHS compliance status for the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 was not explicitly stated in the verified web data; Altera's PCN documents for the MAX 3000A family indicate that the commercial PQFP-208 variants were offered in both Pb-free and SnPb lead-finish options. Confirm with the distributor's Certificate of Conformance before placing a RoHS-required order.
What programming software supports the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20?
The EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 is supported by Altera/Intel Quartus II (legacy versions 9.0 through 13.1) using the MAX+PLUS II or Quartus II programmer with a ByteBlasterMV / USB-Blaster download cable over the JTAG pins. Modern Quartus Prime editions no longer support MAX 3000A, so legacy toolchains must be retained for production programming.

מדריך בחירה

Choose the EPM3512AQC208-7N/I20 when you need the highest-density MAX 3000A device (512 macrocells) in a hand-reworkable PQFP-208 package for deterministic, instant-on glue logic, address decoding, or power-sequencing tasks. Select the -10N speed grade for cost-sensitive designs where 10 ns tPD suffices and 80 MHz internal frequency is acceptable. Choose the -3N variant when your application requires the tightest timing margin and >150 MHz operation. For new designs, prefer the MAX II EPM2210F256C5N or MAX V 5M240ZT100C5N, which offer non-volatile flash, lower core power, and modern Quartus Prime toolchain support - the EPM3512 is recommended only for sustaining legacy designs or matching existing PCB layouts.

הערות תכנון

Decouple each VCCINT pin with a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the pin, plus a single 10 uF bulk capacitor near the supply entry. Place 0.1 uF caps on every VCCIO bank supply as well. The 512-macrocell core draws up to ~300 mA during programming pulses, so the 3.3 V regulator must supply at least 500 mA peak with <100 mV transient excursion.

Estimated: at 116.3 MHz toggling all 172 I/Os with 10 pF loads, dynamic core power is ~0.7 W. Combined with ~50 mW static power, total dissipation is ~0.75 W; on a 4-layer PCB with PQFP-208 thermal pad of ~32 C/W theta_JA, junction rises ~24 C above ambient. No heatsink required, but provide continuous ground plane under the package for best thermal performance.

Route JTAG signals TDI, TMS, TCK, TDO as a 4-wire bus with 10 kohm pull-ups on TDI/TMS/TCK to VCCIO. Keep the JTAG chain under 150 mm and avoid stubs. The 208-pin PQFP has a 0.5 mm lead pitch and 30.6 mm body width; use 0.25 mm-wide traces with 0.20 mm spaces and micro-vias on inner escape layers to fan out cleanly.

Do not connect 5 V signals directly to I/O pins when VCCIO is 3.3 V unless the input is verified 5 V-tolerant (MAX 3000A inputs are 5 V-tolerant with 3.3 V VCCIO). Never apply 5 V to VCCINT - the absolute maximum is 4.0 V. Always include the JTAG IDCODE check in your BSDL file before in-system programming; the factory default IDCODE for the EPM3512A is 0x0120A0DD.
