EPM5032DC-20
EPM5032DC-20 - 600-Gate, 32-Macrocell MAX 5000 CPLD DIP-20 | Intel
The Intel (formerly Altera) EPM5032DC-20 is a member of the classic MAX 5000 family of UV-erasable / one-time-programmable Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs), integrating 600 usable gates, 32 macrocells, and 71.4 MHz maximum toggle frequency at 5 V core operation in a 20-pin ceramic DIP (windowed) through-hole package with a 20 ns pin-to-pin delay. The MAX 5000 architecture combines a programmable AND/OR array with distributed expander product terms, allowing combinatorial and registered logic to be implemented in a single device, and is recognized in the industry as one of the original high-density programmable logic building blocks of the late-1980s/early-1990s era.
A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile programmable logic device that sits between simple SPLDs (PALs/GALs) and higher-density FPGAs in the programmable logic hierarchy (CPLD -> PLD -> programmable logic -> digital IC). It typically contains multiple PAL-like logic blocks interconnected by a central switch matrix, with on-chip EEPROM, EPROM, or flash memory to retain configuration without external boot memory. Compared with early discrete TTL/CMOS glue logic, a CPLD consolidates dozens of 74-series packages into one device, simplifying PCB routing and BOM management while preserving deterministic timing.
Key features of the EPM5032DC-20 include 600 usable gates, 32 macrocells, 71.4 MHz maximum internal frequency (fCNT), 20 ns tPD (pin-to-pin delay), 5 V VCC operation, in-system UV-erase capability (windowed ceramic DIP for development), and 20-pin DIP through-hole package with JEDEC-standard pinout. The part is industry-recognized as a low-density legacy CPLD intended for glue-logic, bus-interface, address decoding, and state-machine consolidation tasks in industrial, military, and aerospace systems.
Technically, the MAX 5000 family uses EPROM (UV-erasable) cells in the DC variant and uses an AND/OR array architecture where each macrocell can be configured as D/T/JK flip-flop or pure combinatorial output. The -20 speed grade corresponds to 20 ns pin-to-pin delay and 71.4 MHz maximum frequency, suitable for asynchronous glue logic and synchronous control paths up to roughly 30 MHz external clock rates. The 5 V supply aligns with the TTL-era interfaces common in MIL-STD-1553, ISA bus, VME, and parallel-port legacy systems.
Typical applications include bus-address decoding in VME/ISA/PCI bridge logic, glue-logic consolidation in industrial controllers, state-machine replacement in legacy military and aerospace systems, address mapping in microcontroller-based designs, I/O expansion for 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessors, and pin-compatible replacement of older 24-pin PAL/GAL devices.
When designing with the EPM5032DC-20, note that this is an EPROM-based (windowed) device, so erasure requires 20-30 minutes of UV exposure at the recommended wavelength - it is intended for engineering development and low-volume production rather than field reprogrammability. Designers targeting modern 3.3 V systems should migrate to MAX 7000AE, MAX II, or MAX V CPLDs; for new designs the EPM5032DC-20 is generally a legacy / last-time-buy component.
