EPM9560RC240-15N - MAX 9000 CPLD, 560 Macrocells, 15ns, RQFP-240
The Intel (formerly Altera) EPM9560RC240-15N is a high-performance CMOS EEPROM-based Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the third-generation MAX 9000 family, featuring 560 macrocells, 12,000 usable gates, and 216 maximum user I/O pins in a 240-pin RQFP package. The device operates at a 15 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay (tPD) and a 145 MHz internal counter frequency (fCNT), delivering deterministic logic integration for high-density glue-logic, bus-interface, and state-machine designs.
A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile, flash- or EEPROM-backed programmable logic device that sits hierarchically between simple SPLDs (e.g., GAL/PAL) and FPGAs. CPLDs are characterized by deterministic timing, instant-on behavior, high pin counts, and very low power consumption in standby, making them the preferred choice for system-level address decoding, bus arbitration, peripheral control, and power-sequencing logic. The MAX architecture walks up the taxonomy as: macrocell -> Logic Array Block (LAB) -> CPLD -> programmable logic -> semiconductor device.
Key features of the EPM9560RC240-15N include 35 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), 5.0 V in-system programmability (ISP) via IEEE 1532/JTAG, JTAG boundary-scan test support, open-drain or programmable I/O standards, and a commercial operating-temperature range of 0C to 70C. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration cell removes the need for external boot PROMs, enabling single-chip designs with instant-on functionality at system power-up.
Architecturally, the MAX 9000 device uses a continuous interconnect network called the Programmable Interconnect Array (PIA), which routes every LAB to every other LAB through a uniform, predictable switch matrix. Combined with the EEPROM process node, this delivers 100% interconnect utilization with no contention, predictable tPD regardless of design placement, and true pin-locking that survives design iterations without re-routing PCB traces.
Typical applications of the EPM9560RC240-15N include 32-bit/64-bit microprocessor peripheral decoding (PCI, VME, ISA), high-speed state-machine controllers, bus arbiters and protocol bridges, industrial PLC I/O expansion, and legacy glue-logic replacement. The wide I/O count (216 pins) supports designs requiring many chip-select, interrupt, or peripheral-control signals.
Designers should note that the EPM9560RC240-15N is an NRND/EOL-era part; production status should be confirmed with the manufacturer. For new designs, the MAX II or MAX V CPLD families are recommended; pin-compatible drop-in alternatives within the MAX 9000 family (same RQFP-240 footprint) include the speed-grade and temperature-grade variants EPM9560RC240-15, EPM9560RC240-12, and EPM9560RC240-10N.
This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in same-footprint alternatives from the Site MPN list, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone, providing engineers and procurement teams with a single consolidated reference.
