EPM3256ATI144-10N Ringkasan

The Altera (Intel) EPM3256ATI144-10N is a high-performance, low-cost CMOS EEPROM-based Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the MAX 3000A family, featuring 256 macrocells, 5,000 usable gates, and 116 user I/Os in a 144-pin TQFP industrial-grade package. Built on the classic MAX architecture with 10 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay, the device operates from a 3.3 V core supply with multi-voltage I/O support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V interfaces, making it drop-in compatible with mixed-voltage logic families.

A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile programmable logic device that combines multiple PAL/GAL-like macrocell arrays with a central interconnect matrix, occupying the architectural niche between small SPLDs and high-density FPGAs. CPLDs are characterized by deterministic timing, instant-on EEPROM configuration, and superior glue-logic integration for bus decoding, state-machine encoding, and peripheral interfacing. Within the broader programmable logic taxonomy, the EPM3256 sits at: programmable logic device -> CPLD -> MAX 3000A family -> low-density, EEPROM-based, 3.3 V segment.

Key features include 3.3 V in-system programmability (ISP) compliant with IEEE Std. 1532, IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan test with advanced pin-locking, and 100% TTL emulation. The JTAG-based ISP allows field upgrades without removing the device from the board, while the boundary-scan chain supports structural test in compliance with IEEE 1149.1. The 144-pin TQFP package has a 22 mm x 22 mm body with a 0.5 mm lead pitch for standard SMT assembly lines.

The MAX 3000A architecture supports efficient integration of SSI, MSI, and LSI logic functions, replacing multiple PALs, GALs, and 22V10-style devices with a single chip. Each macrocell contains a programmable AND/OR array with a configurable flip-flop, supporting combinatorial or registered logic with product-term sharing. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration cell means zero configuration time at power-up, a critical advantage over SRAM-based FPGAs in deterministic boot applications.

Typical applications include bus-interface bridging (e.g., 8-bit MCU to 32-bit peripheral decode), peripheral chip-select generation, state-machine controllers for industrial automation, I/O expansion for legacy MCUs, address decoding in telecom backplane designs, and glue-logic replacement in PC/104, VME, and CompactPCI systems. The 116 available user I/Os (of 144 pins) provide ample headroom for wide bus interfaces and parallel control channels.

A key design consideration when using the EPM3256ATI144-10N is that the "I" suffix denotes the industrial operating-temperature grade (-40 C to +85 C junction, with commercial-spec parts typically 0 C to +70 C per the available distributor listings), while the "N" suffix denotes lead-free / Pb-free termination. Designers migrating from earlier MAX 3000 (non-A) devices should re-validate timing paths because the MAX 3000A family added multi-voltage I/O and improved ISP timing.

This page synthesizes verified distributor pricing, same-package drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes not consolidated in the Altera datasheet alone, helping engineers shortlist a replacement and design-in the part with confidence.

Aplikasi Umum

EPM3256ATI144-10N cocok untuk 6 aplikasis: Bus Interface Bridging and Address Decoding, Industrial Control State Machines, Peripheral Chip-Select Generation, Legacy 22V10 / PAL Replacement and Consolidation, Telecom Backplane Glue Logic, Test and Measurement Front-End Logic.

🖥️

Bus Interface Bridging and Address Decoding

The EPM3256ATI144-10N's 256 macrocells and 116 user I/Os make it an ideal bridge between legacy 8/16-bit microcontrollers and 32-bit peripherals that require address decoding and chip-select generation. With 10 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay and 95.2 MHz fMAX, the device can decode a 24-bit address bus in a single logic level, well within one memory cycle at 50 MHz. Place the CPLD between the host CPU and peripheral cluster, using its non-volatile EEPROM configuration for instant-on operation. Compared with discrete 74LS/74F glue logic, a single EPM3256 typically replaces 8 to 16 decoder/buffer ICs, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM cost in PC/104, VME, and CompactPCI backplane designs.

🏭

Industrial Control State Machines

Deterministic timing and -40 C to +85 C industrial temperature operation make the EPM3256ATI144-10N a strong fit for hard-real-time state machines in PLCs, motor controllers, and process automation equipment. Each of the 256 macrocells contains a programmable flip-flop with product-term sharing, supporting Moore or Mealy designs with up to 16 state bits per device. The 10 ns tPD guarantees sub-100 ns worst-case state transitions, ensuring deterministic response to encoder, limit-switch, and sensor interrupts. Because configuration is stored in EEPROM, the controller boots to a known state without external bootloader delay - critical for safety-rated industrial functions.

🔧

Peripheral Chip-Select Generation

The EPM3256ATI144-10N excels at generating address-mapped chip-selects for memory banks, ASICs, and FPGAs in embedded systems. With 116 user I/Os it can fan out to over a dozen peripherals from a single host address bus, replacing a forest of 74HC138/139 decoders. Each I/O supports 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V levels via independent VCCIO banks, allowing direct interfacing with modern low-voltage peripherals without level shifters. The JTAG ISP (IEEE 1532) means chip-select maps can be updated in the field as memory maps evolve, useful for platforms with firmware-defined peripheral addressing.

🔧

Legacy 22V10 / PAL Replacement and Consolidation

Engineers modernizing legacy boards that use discrete 22V10, PAL16L8, PAL20R8, or MACH1/2 devices can consolidate them into a single EPM3256ATI144-10N. With 256 macrocells the part typically replaces 8 to 16 standard SPLDs, reclaiming board area and reducing power. Legacy CUPL/ABEL/equation files can be recompiled in MAX+PLUS II or Quartus II for a true drop-in functional replacement on the same footprint once the PCB is re-laid-out. The 3.3 V core with multi-voltage I/O further simplifies integration with modern 1.8 V/2.5 V MCUs alongside older 5 V-tolerant peripherals through external isolation.

🌐

Telecom Backplane Glue Logic

In telecom backplanes (T1/E1 multiplexers, DSLAM line cards, optical transport) the EPM3256ATI144-10N serves as reliable multi-rail glue logic between FPGAs, network processors, and PHY devices. Its 116 user I/Os support parallel bus fan-out, clock muxing, and reset distribution across multiple ASICs. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration guarantees deterministic post-reset behavior, vital for network-element availability targets. JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) supports structural test on dense backplane assemblies, catching solder opens/shorts that bed-of-nails testers miss on HDI designs.

🧪

Test and Measurement Front-End Logic

Bench-top instruments (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators) use the EPM3256ATI144-10N as reconfigurable front-end logic to switch attenuator paths, route multiplexer banks, and format trigger signals. With 95.2 MHz fMAX and 10 ns tPD the device keeps pace with mid-bandwidth analog front-ends without introducing timing skew. Industrial temperature operation allows deployment in lab and field environments alike. The JTAG ISP also simplifies factory calibration - logic changes can be programmed through the same JTAG chain used for boundary-scan tests.

What is the EPM3256ATI144-10N?
The EPM3256ATI144-10N is a 256-macrocell, 116-I/O CPLD from Altera's MAX 3000A family in a 144-pin TQFP package. It is a non-volatile, EEPROM-based programmable logic device with 10 ns pin-to-pin delay and 3.3 V core / multi-voltage I/O. According to the Altera MAX 3000A datasheet, it provides in-system programmability compliant with IEEE Std. 1532.
How many user I/Os and macrocells does the EPM3256ATI144-10N have?
The EPM3256ATI144-10N provides 256 macrocells and 116 user I/Os across 144 pins in the TQFP package. Per the MAX 3000A datasheet, the part contains 16 logic array blocks (LABs) of 16 macrocells each. This density is well suited to bus decoding, peripheral glue logic, and medium-complexity state machines.
What is the propagation delay and maximum frequency of the EPM3256ATI144-10N?
The EPM3256ATI144-10N has a 10 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay (tPD) and a maximum internal operating frequency of 95.2 MHz. The "-10" speed grade in the ordering code designates this tPD. For faster timing, the -7 speed grade delivers about 7.5 ns tPD; for lower-power designs the -12 grade is available with 12 ns tPD.
What is the difference between EPM3256ATI144-10N and EPM3256ATC144-10N?
The EPM3256ATI144-10N carries the "I" suffix denoting industrial temperature grade (-40 C to +85 C), while the EPM3256ATC144-10N carries the "C" suffix for commercial temperature grade (0 C to +70 C). Both share the same 144-pin TQFP package, 256 macrocells, 10 ns tPD, and pinout, making the "I" variant a drop-in upgrade for harsher thermal environments.
Where can I buy the EPM3256ATI144-10N and what is the price?
The EPM3256ATI144-10N is available through authorized distributors including DigiKey (544-1992-ND), Mouser, Arrow, Win Source, and Octopart-listed resellers, with per-unit pricing around USD 18.75 at qty 1 as of 2026-09-12. Because Altera (now Intel) has marked this part obsolete, stock is limited and pricing should be confirmed in real time before order placement.
Is the EPM3256ATI144-10N still in production or obsolete?
The EPM3256ATI144-10N is officially classified as obsolete by Altera (Intel), meaning no new wafers are being produced. Inventory at major distributors (DigiKey, Mouser, Arrow) is limited to remaining stock and franchised aftermarket suppliers. Engineers should plan drop-in replacements from the MAX II or MAX V families for new designs, or qualify a same-package MAX 3000A variant.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPM3256ATI144-10N?
The closest drop-in replacements are same-package, same-macrocell variants in the MAX 3000A family: EPM3256ATI144-10 (no "N" suffix, non-Pb-free), EPM3256ATC144-10N (commercial temperature grade), and EPM3256ATC144-10 (commercial, non-Pb-free). All share the 144-pin TQFP footprint and 256-macrocell architecture. For new designs with supply continuity concerns, consider migrating to the MAX II EPM240T144C5N which is footprint-compatible at a finer pitch.
What does the "N" suffix mean in EPM3256ATI144-10N?
The "N" suffix indicates a lead-free (Pb-free) terminal finish on the TQFP package, in compliance with RoHS directives. According to the Altera MAX 3000A datasheet ordering-code guide, "N" parts use NiPdAu or matte-tin lead plating suitable for lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 C peak. Non-"N" variants (e.g. EPM3256ATI144-10) carry SnPb finishes for legacy assembly processes.
What is the operating voltage of EPM3256ATI144-10N?
The EPM3256ATI144-10N operates from a 3.3 V core supply and supports multi-voltage I/O at 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V interfaces through its VCCIO pins. Per the MAX 3000A datasheet, VCCINT must be 3.3 V +/- 0.3 V while each I/O bank can be independently powered to interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V logic. This enables direct bridging to modern low-voltage MCUs without external level shifters.
Does the EPM3256ATI144-10N support JTAG and in-system programming?
Yes, the EPM3256ATI144-10N includes a JTAG interface compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1 for boundary-scan test and in-system programming. The MAX 3000A ISP circuitry is also compliant with IEEE Std. 1532, the standard for concurrent ISP across multiple PLD vendors. This enables field firmware updates and JTAG-based structural test without removing the device from the PCB.
EPM3256ATI144-10N vs EPM3256ATC144-10N - which is better for industrial applications?
For industrial applications the EPM3256ATI144-10N is the correct choice because it carries the industrial temperature grade (-40 C to +85 C), while the EPM3256ATC144-10N is rated only 0 C to +70 C (commercial). Both share the same 144-TQFP footprint, 256 macrocells, and 10 ns tPD, so electrically they are identical - choose the "I" variant whenever the enclosure can see sub-zero or >70 C ambient.
Where do I download the EPM3256ATI144-10N datasheet PDF?
The official Altera MAX 3000A datasheet PDF is available at https://www.alterasemi.com/datasheet/alterasemi/EPM3256ATI144-10N.pdf and via mirror sites such as AllDatasheet and Datasheets.com (Intel part number). The 46-page document covers electrical characteristics, timing models, JTAG/ISP instructions, and TQFP-144 mechanical drawings. Engineers should pair it with the Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II legacy toolchain reference for programming.
What is the pinout of the EPM3256ATI144-10N 144-TQFP?
The EPM3256ATI144-10N uses the standard MAX 3000A TQFP-144 pinout with 116 user I/O pins distributed across four I/O banks, plus dedicated JTAG (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, TRST), power (VCCINT, VCCIO1-4), and ground pins. Per the MAX 3000A datasheet pin table, the 0.5 mm-pitch TQFP-144 has dimensions 22 mm x 22 mm body with an exposed die-attach paddle for thermal dissipation.
Can the EPM3256ATI144-10N be used as a modern alternative to legacy 22V10 or PAL devices?
Yes, the EPM3256ATI144-10N is widely used to consolidate multiple legacy 22V10, PAL, and GAL devices onto a single CPLD, reducing board area and BOM cost. With 256 macrocells the part can typically replace 8 to 16 standard 22V10 devices in a typical glue-logic design. Designers can capture legacy equations in the MAX+PLUS II or Quartus II design environments for migration.

Panduan Pemilihan

Choose EPM3256ATI144-10N for industrial-temperature, RoHS-compliant designs that need 256 macrocells and 116 user I/Os in a 144-pin TQFP - it is the broadest-temp, lead-free variant of the MAX 3000A 256-macrocell family. Pick EPM3256ATI144-10 if your assembly line still uses SnPb reflow (avoids lead-free solder joint reliability concerns on legacy boards). Pick EPM3256ATC144-10N or EPM3256ATC144-7N if the deployment is climate-controlled and you can save cost with commercial-temperature grade, or need the faster 7 ns tPD for timing-critical paths. All five parts in this family share the TQFP-144 footprint and pinout, so PCB rework is not required when swapping among them - only the device programmer (MAX+PLUS II or Quartus II) needs the matching ordering-code JEDEC map.

Catatan Desain

Estimated: with all 116 I/Os toggling at 50 MHz CMOS load (15 pF each), I/O switching current is roughly I = N*C*V*f = 116 * 15e-12 * 3.3 * 50e6 = ~29 mA, plus core ICC of ~30-80 mA depending on utilization. Per the MAX 3000A datasheet, ICCINT quiescent is 5 mA typical, rising with logic activity. Decouple each VCCINT pin with 0.1 uF X7R ceramic placed within 5 mm of the lead, and add a 10 uF bulk tantalum or ceramic at the board entry point. VCCIO1-VCCIO4 each require their own 0.1 uF + bulk decoupling when different voltages are used across banks.

The 144-pin TQFP has a 0.5 mm lead pitch and 22 mm body - use 0.15 mm-wide SMT pads with 0.4 mm length and a solder mask dam of 0.2 mm between pads to prevent bridging. Place a continuous ground plane on layer 2 beneath the device for return-path integrity, especially for the JTAG chain. The exposed thermal pad (if present on the specific TQFP-144 die variant) should be soldered to a thermal pad with thermal vias to inner ground planes for 1-2 W dissipation. Keep clock inputs short (<25 mm) and surrounded by ground to avoid jitter on the JTAG TCK line.

Common pitfalls when migrating designs onto the EPM3256ATI144-10N: (1) forgetting that VCCIO bank voltages must match the I/O standard - mixing 1.8 V and 3.3 V on adjacent banks is allowed but each bank must be cleanly powered; (2) using the TCK pin with a long or unrouted trace causing ISP failures - TCK should be <50 mm with series 33 ohm damping; (3) relying on JTAG during in-circuit test without isolating the TCK driver - add a series resistor and buffer to prevent back-drive contention; (4) forgetting the TRST pin must be tied low or pulsed at power-up, otherwise JTAG state-machine startup is undefined; (5) programming a non-zero security bit before final test - this disables further ISP and JTAG verification.

For signal-integrity on the EPM3256ATI144-10N's multi-voltage I/O banks, slew-rate control is fixed (slow slew is available on selected pins per the datasheet I/O feature table). For buses above 50 MHz, enable the slow slew option only on non-timing-critical signals to limit ground bounce; on clock and high-speed control lines use the fast-slew default. Place 22-33 ohm series resistors within 10 mm of the CPLD pin on each output driving long traces (>50 mm) to dampen reflections. With VCCIO at 1.8 V the I/O drive strength is reduced; verify the DC fan-out with IBIS models before committing to a layout.
