EPM7512BFI256-7 - MAX 7000B CPLD, 512 Macrocells, 256-FBGA | Intel
The Intel (formerly Altera) EPM7512BFI256-7 is a high-performance, 2.5-V CMOS EEPROM-based Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the MAX 7000B family, packaged in a 256-ball FineLine BGA (FBGA-256) with 212 user I/Os. It integrates 512 macrocells (equivalent to 10,000 usable gates), runs at a maximum internal frequency of 164 MHz, and offers a pin-to-pin propagation delay of 7.5 ns (the "-7" speed grade). The device is built on Altera's second-generation Multiple Array Matrix (MAX) architecture, which provides predictable, deterministic timing and in-system programmability via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG.
A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile, flash- or EEPROM-based programmable logic IC that contains multiple PAL-like macrocell blocks interconnected by a central programmable interconnect matrix. The MAX 7000 family sits between small SPLDs (PAL/GAL) and large FPGAs: it offers fast, deterministic combinational and sequential logic with instant-on capability and zero-configuration boot time, making it ideal for glue logic, bus interfacing, and power-sequencing tasks where an FPGA would be over-specified and too expensive. The "B" suffix denotes the 2.5-V core generation with multi-volt I/O (1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V tolerant), and the "I" suffix in the part number indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40 °C to +105 °C).
Key features of the EPM7512BFI256-7 include 512 macrocells, 212 user I/Os, 5.5 ns–7.5 ns propagation delay (depending on grade), 164 MHz internal frequency, and JTAG-compliant in-system programming. The SameFrame pin-out feature shared by all 0.8-mm-pitch Ultra FineLine BGA devices in this family allows designers to migrate across densities (e.g., EPM7128 / EPM7160 / EPM7192 / EPM7256 / EPM7512) on the same PCB footprint. Per Altera's MAX 7000 datasheet, all members of this family share the same Quartus/MAX+PLUS II toolchain, JTAG programming interface, and I/O standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, PCI, and SSTL.
Architecturally, the EPM7512BFI256-7 contains 16 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) of 16 macrocells each, a programmable interconnect array (PIA), and four I/O pins per macrocell block. Each macrocell contains a programmable AND/OR array, a flip-flop, and product-term allocation logic, supporting up to 32 product terms per macrocell with expander terms. The EEPROM-based configuration cell provides non-volatile storage with 100+ program/erase cycles per the device datasheet.
Typical applications include bus-interface bridging (e.g., 8/16/32-bit address decoding), power-up sequencing for multi-rail systems, peripheral glue logic in telecom line cards, industrial PLC I/O expansion, and replacement of multiple 74-series TTL/CMOS logic gates in cost-down board designs. The 212 user I/Os also suit LED-driver multiplexing and high-density state-machine controllers.
When designing with the EPM7512BFI256-7, ensure the 0.8 mm-pitch BGA is mounted with appropriate PCB fabrication tolerances and that all unused I/Os are left floating or tied per the datasheet recommendation. Decoupling should follow Altera's reference design: 0.1 µF + 10 µF bulk capacitors placed within 100 mil of each supply pin. For migration, the SameFrame pin-out allows drop-in to EPM7256BFI256-7 (256 macrocells) and to EPM7192BFI256-7 (192 macrocells) on the same 256-ball footprint.
