EPM3256AT1144-10S Ringkasan

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPM3256AT1144-10S is a member of the MAX 3000A family of high-density, in-system programmable CMOS complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs). Housed in a 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) and offering 256 macrocells with a 10 ns pin-to-pin logic delay, this device targets glue-logic integration, bus interfacing, and state-machine consolidation in industrial, telecom, and embedded designs. The "AT" speed/power grade indicates a commercial temperature range with a moderate speed/power tradeoff suitable for general-purpose logic consolidation.

A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile programmable logic device that sits between simple PAL/GAL devices and FPGAs in the programmable logic hierarchy. It provides deterministic, instant-on logic (no external boot memory required), predictable timing (fixed pin-to-pin delays), and typically 1.8V-3.3V core operation with multi-voltage I/O support. In the broader taxonomy, the EPM3256AT1144-10S belongs to: CPLD -> programmable logic device -> programmable logic -> digital semiconductor -> integrated circuit. MAX 3000A devices use EEPROM-based configuration cells, so the bitstream is retained without a separate PROM and the device operates immediately on power-up.

Key features of the EPM3256AT1144-10S include 256 macrocells organized into 16 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), a maximum of 212 user I/O pins, 5V-tolerant I/O (with the A-suffix MAX 3000A variant supporting both 3.3V PCI and 5V interfacing in the same design), 10 ns tPD (pin-to-pin delay), and in-system programmability via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG. The TQFP-144 package provides a familiar PCB land pattern that is straightforward to route on 2-layer boards and that supports standard reflow soldering profiles.

The architecture pairs each macrocell with a programmable AND/OR array and a product-term allocator that distributes up to 32 product terms per macrocell, with extra product terms borrowable from neighbouring LABs. This design supports wide fan-in functions (decoders, comparators, multiplexers) and registered state machines in a single device. The MultiVolt I/O pins interface with 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5.0V buses without level shifters, simplifying mixed-voltage board designs.

Typical applications for the EPM3256AT1144-10S include bus-interface bridging, peripheral I/O expansion, address decoding, custom state-machine controllers, and distributed datapath glue logic in industrial controllers, telecom line cards, point-of-sale terminals, and test-and-measurement equipment.

When designing with the EPM3256AT1144-10S, ensure that the Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II design toolchain is available - the device predates the Quartus Prime MAX device support update. JTAG programming requires the TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI pins to be dedicated and the nSTATUS and CONF_DONE pins to be observed for proper in-system programming handshaking.

Aplikasi Umum

EPM3256AT1144-10S cocok untuk 6 aplikasis: Industrial Controller Glue Logic, Telecom Line-Card Interface Bridging, Point-of-Sale Terminal I/O Expansion, Test & Measurement Front-End Logic, Legacy 5V Peripheral Interfacing, State-Machine Controller.

🏭

Industrial Controller Glue Logic

The EPM3256AT1144-10S consolidates address decoding, bus arbitration, and peripheral-chip-enable generation into a single non-volatile device in industrial PLC and motor-controller boards. Its 256 macrocells comfortably absorb dozens of decoded selects, watchdog timers, and PWM synchronizers that would otherwise require multiple 74-series logic gates. The 10 ns tPD is sufficient for 16-bit ISA-style buses at 33 MHz, and the 3.3V core plus 5V-tolerant I/O let it bridge between legacy 5V sensors and modern 3.3V microcontrollers on the same board.

🌐

Telecom Line-Card Interface Bridging

In telecom line cards the EPM3256AT1144-10S bridges between backplane buses (e.g., H.110 or CompactPCI) and per-channel framer/serializer ASICs, providing bus-width conversion, parity generation, and interrupt steering. Its 212 available user I/Os in the TQFP-144 package handle 32-bit wide datapaths plus side-band control signals. EEPROM-based instant-on configuration eliminates the boot delay of SRAM-based FPGAs, making the device attractive for line cards that must respond to backplane polling within milliseconds of power-up.

📱

Point-of-Sale Terminal I/O Expansion

POS terminals integrate keypads, magnetic-stripe readers, thermal printers, displays, and Ethernet controllers - each with different bus widths and timing requirements. The EPM3256AT1144-10S acts as a multi-protocol bus arbiter and I/O expander, replacing 4-6 discrete PAL/GAL devices with a single 256-macrocell CPLD. The instant-on EEPROM configuration avoids the configuration-time delay of an SRAM FPGA at power-up, ensuring the terminal is ready for first-card insertion within milliseconds.

🔧

Test & Measurement Front-End Logic

Bench-top oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and data-acquisition front-ends use the EPM3256AT1144-10S to implement trigger-pattern matching, channel-to-channel skew correction, and front-panel knob/switch multiplexing. The deterministic 10 ns pin-to-pin delay simplifies timing-budget calculations across the analog front end. The MultiVolt I/O allows the same CPLD to interface with 5V analog ASICs and 3.3V FPGAs in the same signal chain, removing external level shifters.

⚡

Legacy 5V Peripheral Interfacing

Modern 1.8V or 3.3V ASICs and microcontrollers often need to drive 5V legacy peripherals (industrial sensors, vacuum-fluorescent displays, older parallel-port chips). The EPM3256AT1144-10S's 5V-tolerant MultiVolt I/O provides a level-shifting bridge without external buffers, while its 3.3V core keeps power dissipation reasonable. This application exploits the unique 5V-tolerant I/O of the MAX 3000A family, a feature not available on most newer CPLD families.

🖥️

State-Machine Controller

The EPM3256AT1144-10S implements complex registered state machines in a single device - up to 16 LABs each containing 16 macrocells can encode deeply nested FSMs that would otherwise require multiple PLDs. Product-term borrowing across LABs allows wide fan-in states (16-20 inputs) for protocol encoders, sequencers, and multi-stage controllers. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration preserves state-machine logic through power cycles without external boot memory.

What is the EPM3256AT1144-10S and how many macrocells does it have?
The EPM3256AT1144-10S is a 256-macrocell MAX 3000A family CPLD from Intel (formerly Altera). According to the MAX 3000A datasheet, it is organized into 16 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), each containing 16 macrocells, and offers up to 212 user I/O pins in the TQFP-144 package. The "-10" suffix denotes the 10 ns pin-to-pin delay grade.
What is the operating voltage of EPM3256AT1144-10S?
The EPM3256AT1144-10S operates from a 3.3V core supply and supports 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5.0V I/O voltages on its MultiVolt pins. This allows the device to interface directly with 5V legacy peripherals, 3.3V PCI buses, and 2.5V ASICs in the same design without external level shifters, simplifying mixed-voltage board layouts.
Is the EPM3256AT1144-10S still in production?
The EPM3256AT1144-10S is in Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) status. According to Intel's product lifecycle notices, the MAX 3000A family is approaching end-of-life with last-time-buy windows announced periodically. Engineers designing new products should consider the MAX II or MAX V family for new designs, though EPM3256AT1144-10S remains available through authorized distributors for legacy and maintenance applications.
Where can I buy the EPM3256AT1144-10S and what is the unit price?
The EPM3256AT1144-10S is available through authorized distributors including YIC Electronics, Jotrin, IC-Components, Nantian, and Ariat-Tech (as of 2026-09-12). Unit pricing for qty-1 is approximately $38.50 USD, with volume pricing dropping to around $21.30 USD at qty-1000. Lead time is typically 4-8 weeks from franchised distributors.
What is the lead time for EPM3256AT1144-10S?
Lead time for the EPM3256AT1144-10S is typically 4-8 weeks from authorized distributors as of 2026-09-12, due to its NRND status and limited remaining stock. Some brokers quote shorter lead times but at premium pricing. Engineers should contact Intel directly for last-time-buy windows and lifetime-buy agreements if long-term supply is required for in-production designs.
Where can I download the EPM3256AT1144-10S datasheet PDF?
The official EPM3256AT1144-10S datasheet is available on the Intel Programmable Solutions Group website at the MAX 3000A product page. Third-party datasheet mirrors are also hosted by FPGAkey and various distributor sites. The datasheet includes the JTAG programming timing, DC characteristics, thermal data, and pinout for the TQFP-144 package.
What is the difference between EPM3256AT144-10 and EPM3256AT1144-10S?
The "T1144" portion refers to the TQFP-144 package, and "-10" denotes the 10 ns tPD speed grade. The trailing "S" typically indicates a specific revision, lead-free compliance, or reel-packaging suffix used by Intel/Altera distributors. Functionally, both parts share the same 256-macrocell architecture, same speed grade, and identical JTAG programming interface.
What is a drop-in replacement for EPM3256AT1144-10S?
Drop-in replacements for the EPM3256AT1144-10S in the same TQFP-144 footprint include EPM3256AFC256-10 and EPM3256AFI256-10 (256-ball FineLine BGA versions are different packages). Same-footprint TQFP-144 alternatives include other MAX 3000A speed grades such as the EPM3256ATC144-10N and EPM3256ATI144-10N, which share identical pinout and are pin-to-pin compatible on the same PCB.
Which software supports the EPM3256AT1144-10S?
The EPM3256AT1144-10S is supported by both MAX+PLUS II (legacy) and Quartus II design software, including Quartus II Web Edition. Later Quartus Prime versions also retain MAX 3000A support. Engineers should use the latest Quartus II service pack with the MAX 3000A device library installed, and program the device via a ByteBlasterMV or USB-Blaster JTAG cable.
Is EPM3256AT1144-10S RoHS compliant?
RoHS compliance status for the EPM3256AT1144-10S depends on the specific date code and reel suffix. Most recent production parts include the "S" suffix indicating lead-free/RoHS-compliant assembly per Intel's MAX 3000A datasheet. For mission-critical designs, request the latest RoHS CoC (Certificate of Conformance) from your authorized distributor to confirm compliance for your specific date code.
What is the difference between MAX 3000A and MAX II CPLDs?
The MAX 3000A family uses 0.30 µm EEPROM technology with 3.3V core and MultiVolt I/O, while the MAX II family uses 0.18 µm flash-based look-up table architecture with 1.8V core and lower static power. MAX II offers higher logic density (up to 2210 LE) and lower cost-per-macrocell, but MAX 3000A remains preferred for 5V-tolerance and instant-on non-volatile configuration without a bootloader.
Can EPM3256AT1144-10S replace an XC9500XL CPLD?
Yes, the EPM3256AT1144-10S can serve as a functional replacement for Xilinx XC9500XL CPLDs of similar macrocell count (e.g., XC95144XL with 144 macrocells), but is NOT pin-to-pin compatible because the TQFP-144 pinout differs between the two families. A PCB redesign is required for cross-vendor migration; only same-package, same-pinout MAX 3000A parts qualify as true drop-in replacements.
What are the JTAG pins on EPM3256AT1144-10S?
The EPM3256AT1144-10S JTAG interface uses the standard IEEE 1149.1 pins: TDI (Test Data In), TDO (Test Data Out), TMS (Test Mode Select), and TCK (Test Clock), plus the optional TRST pin. The nSTATUS and CONF_DONE pins report programming state and must be observed during in-system programming. Pin numbers for the TQFP-144 package are documented in the MAX 3000A datasheet pin tables.
How many user I/O pins does the EPM3256AT1144-10S provide?
The EPM3256AT1144-10S provides up to 212 user I/O pins in the TQFP-144 package, the highest I/O count available in the MAX 3000A family. Some pins are dedicated to JTAG, power, and configuration functions, but the high I/O count makes this device well suited for wide bus interfaces (32-bit parallel, address decoding, video sync generation, and chip-enable generation) on a single device.

Panduan Pemilihan

Choose the EPM3256AT1144-10S when you need 256 macrocells and the highest user I/O count (up to 212) in the MAX 3000A family for a TQFP-144 board design, especially for industrial glue-logic, bus-interface bridging, or 5V-tolerant mixed-voltage designs. Choose the EPM3256ATC144-10N as a drop-in alternative when the design can use the same commercial-temperature rating and identical 10 ns speed grade. Choose the EPM3256ATI144-10N when you need industrial -40C to +85C operation. Choose the EPM3128ATC144-10N or EPM3128ATI144-10 when your design requires only 128 macrocells (a 50% logic-density reduction) - both share the TQFP-144 footprint and are pin-to-pin compatible on the same PCB. For new designs, consider MAX II or MAX V family successors with lower static power and 1.8V core operation.

Diferensiator Kunci

  • Highest user I/O count in the MAX 3000A TQFP-144 family (vsEPM3128ATC144-10N)
  • 256 macrocells in a single TQFP-144 device (vsEPM3128ATC144-10N)
  • 5V-tolerant MultiVolt I/O with 3.3V core (vsMAX II family (EPM240T100C5N))

Catatan Desain

The TQFP-144 package has a 0.5 mm pitch with thermal/exposed-pad requirements that demand careful PCB layout. Use at least 4-layer stack-up with a solid ground plane directly beneath the device to provide low-inductance return paths for the 212 high-speed I/O signals. JTAG traces (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE) should be kept short and length-matched for reliable in-system programming at higher TCK frequencies. Decoupling: place one 100 nF ceramic capacitor per VCCINT and VCCIO pin pair within 2 mm of the package, plus a 10 µF bulk capacitor near the device for low-frequency decoupling.

Although the MAX 3000A is not an SRAM-based FPGA and does not require special boot sequencing, simultaneous-switching output (SSO) noise can still corrupt adjacent analog signals when many I/O pins toggle together. Limit SSO count to 16-20 outputs per bank at full drive strength, or use the Quartus II slow-slew-rate option to reduce di/dt. For 5V-interfacing pins, observe the maximum source-current spec (per-pin and per-bank) from the datasheet; exceeding these limits can cause permanent device damage. Series-termination resistors (22-33 ohm) on clock outputs help control overshoot on long traces.

A common mistake is using Quartus Prime without installing the legacy MAX 3000A device support package - synthesis will fail with "device not supported" errors. Engineers should also note that the EPM3256AT1144-10S uses a non-volatile EEPROM configuration, so any logic change requires a JTAG re-programming cycle (typically 1-3 seconds with ByteBlasterMV or USB-Blaster cables). Mixing industrial-temperature and commercial-temperature MAX 3000A parts on the same JTAG chain is permitted only when the chain software is configured to match the lowest-temperature part in the chain.
