EPM9320ALC84-10N - 320-Macrocell MAX 9000 CPLD, 10ns, 84-PLCC
The Intel (formerly Altera) EPM9320ALC84-10N is a 320-macrocell, 6,000-gate CMOS Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the MAX 9000 family, housed in an 84-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package. The -10 speed grade corresponds to a 10 ns pin-to-pin delay, and the device supports an internal toggle frequency up to 144.9 MHz at 5 V operation. The MAX 9000A family combines high density, in-system programmability, and predictable interconnect timing for glue-logic, bus-interface, and state-machine consolidation designs.
A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile programmable logic device that sits hierarchically between simple PAL/GAL splds and high-density FPGAs. It provides predictable timing, instant-on operation, and high fan-in macrocell structures, making it ideal for deterministic control logic. CPLDs are typically used for address decoding, peripheral interfacing, bus bridging, and power-sequencing controllers where fixed, low-latency response is required. The MAX 9000 family extends classic EPLD architecture to higher logic densities while retaining the deterministic timing that made the MAX 5000 and MAX 7000 families popular in telecom, industrial, and embedded designs.
Key features of the EPM9320ALC84-10N include 320 macrocells distributed across 16 logic array blocks (LABs), 60 user I/O pins, 5 V core operation (5.0 V nominal VCC), in-system programmability via JTAG (IEEE 1149.1), and a commercial 0C to 70C operating temperature range. The device includes per-macrocell registers, programmable interconnect array (PIA), and dedicated input/output control blocks. The 84-pin PLCC package provides through-hole compatibility for legacy industrial backplanes, retrofit designs, and existing production assemblies where socket replacement is preferable to redesign.
From an architectural standpoint, the EPM9320A uses Altera's classic MAX architecture with EEPROM-based configuration cells, meaning the device retains its programmed logic without external boot memory. Configuration is loaded via JTAG using a ByteBlaster or compatible programmer, and the part can be reprogrammed thousands of times. The 10 ns tPD and 144.9 MHz fCNT make this part suitable for state machines running at moderate clock rates and for pipelined control logic.
Typical applications include legacy industrial control boards, telecom line-card glue logic, address-decoding and chip-select generation, peripheral bus interfacing (ISA, PCI, VME), motor-control state machines, and retrofit/repair scenarios where the original MAX 9000 part must be replaced. The part is also widely used in educational boards, prototype development, and military/aerospace systems where the MAX 9000 family has long design-cycle approval.
When designing with the EPM9320ALC84-10N, observe the recommended 5.0 V VCC tolerance (the A-suffix denotes 5 V operation, not the 3.3 V-compatible LC/RC/QI variants). Decouple each VCC/ground pair with a 0.1 F ceramic capacitor placed within 50 mils of the package pin, and adhere to the JTAG chain layout guidelines for multi-device boundary-scan configurations. The 84-PLCC socket should be a low-profile machine-pin or open-frame type rated for the operating temperature range.
