EPM7256AETC144-10N 개요

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPM7256AETC144-10N is a high-density 3.3V CMOS Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the MAX 7000A family, delivering 5,000 usable gates, 256 macro cells, and a 10 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay in a 144-pin TQFP package. The device integrates non-volatile EEPROM configuration memory with in-system programmability (ISP) via JTAG, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs, and offers user I/O count of up to 120 pins per package for interface-heavy glue-logic roles.

A Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) is a non-volatile, instantly-on programmable logic IC that combines multiple PAL-like logic blocks on a single die, wired together by a programmable interconnect matrix. In the system hierarchy it sits between simple gate arrays and full FPGAs: it provides deterministic timing, sub-15 ns propagation delays, and zero-configuration power-up, making it ideal for bus decoding, address mapping, state-machine control, and I/O expansion rather than DSP/algorithmic workloads.

Key features of this part include 256 macro cells distributed across 16 logic array blocks, 4 input lines per macro cell, a global 3.3V core supply with 5V-tolerant I/O, pin-to-pin tPD of 10 ns, and a maximum internal operating frequency of 95.2 MHz. The device is pin-compatible with the 5.0V MAX 7000S family, allowing board-level migration. Extended industrial temperature range support and built-in IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan test complete the feature set.

Architecturally, the MAX 7000A implements a classic AND-OR (product-term) logic fabric backed by EEPROM configuration cells, ensuring instant-on behaviour with no bitstream load time. The 3.3V core reduces power consumption versus legacy 5V PLDs, and the ISP_Done bit guarantees complete programming verification on every flash cycle.

Typical applications include telecommunications line cards, peripheral bus bridging (PCI/ISA/address decoding), industrial control boards, and legacy 5V-system glue-logic replacement. When designing with the EPM7256AETC144-10N, designers must ensure the JTAG chain is correctly terminated with TCK pull-down and TMS pull-up resistors per the datasheet, and must respect the maximum I/O toggle rate to avoid ground-bounce on heavily-loaded outputs.

일반적인 애플리케이션

EPM7256AETC144-10N 적합 용도: 6 애플리케이션s: PCI/ISA Bus Address Decoding, Telecommunications Line Card Glue Logic, Industrial Control State Machine, Legacy 5V System Glue Logic Replacement, Peripheral Interface Bridging, Test Equipment Front Panel Logic.

🌐

PCI/ISA Bus Address Decoding

The EPM7256AETC144-10N fits PCI/ISA bus address decoding applications with its 256 macro cells and 10 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay. Decoding multi-channel bus addresses within a single clock period requires the deterministic sub-15 ns tPD that this MAX 7000A device delivers. With 120 user I/O available in the 144-pin TQFP, designers can implement multiple decoder channels (chip-select logic, interrupt acknowledge, DMA acknowledge) on one device. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration means the decoder is active at power-on without any boot delay - critical for ISA bus timing where the CPU asserts address lines within nanoseconds of reset de-assertion. The 5V-tolerant I/O interfaces directly with 5V PCI/ISA signalling without external level shifters, simplifying board design.

🌐

Telecommunications Line Card Glue Logic

The EPM7256AETC144-10N is well suited for telecommunications line card glue-logic applications where deterministic timing and high I/O density are required. Its 120 user I/O pins handle multi-channel TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) bus aggregation, while the 95.2 MHz maximum internal frequency supports clock rates up to OC-1/STM-0. The 3.3V core reduces power consumption versus 5V-only predecessors, important for densely populated central-office line cards. Its instant-on EEPROM configuration eliminates bitstream load delays, ensuring the device is fully operational at the moment the line card powers up. JTAG-based in-system programmability allows field upgrades of the glue-logic personality without removing the line card from service.

🏭

Industrial Control State Machine

Industrial control applications rely on the EPM7256AETC144-10N's combination of 256 macro cells, 16 logic array blocks, and deterministic 10 ns tPD to implement complex state machines for PLCs, motor controllers, and process automation. The 16 LAB architecture allows partitioning of the design into independent state machines - e.g. one per axis of a multi-axis motion controller. The extended industrial temperature range (-40C to +85C) ensures reliable operation in factory-floor environments. Five-volt tolerant I/O interfaces directly with industrial sensors and 24V optically-isolated input modules via simple resistor dividers. Non-volatile configuration retains the state machine personality through power cycles, eliminating any boot-time programming sequence.

🔧

Legacy 5V System Glue Logic Replacement

Replacing legacy 5V PAL/GAL glue logic with the EPM7256AETC144-10N is straightforward because the device is pin-compatible with the 5.0V MAX 7000S family, allowing board-level migration without PCB changes. Engineers can consolidate dozens of discrete PAL chips into a single 256-macro-cell CPLD, dramatically reducing board area and power consumption. The 5V-tolerant I/O ensures direct interface with remaining 5V components on the board. With 95.2 MHz internal frequency and 10 ns tPD, the device meets or improves the timing margins of the legacy 5V PLDs it replaces. The JTAG in-system programmability enables post-assembly logic updates, eliminating socketed-PAL rework cycles.

🖥️

Peripheral Interface Bridging

The EPM7256AETC144-10N excels at peripheral interface bridging applications such as connecting microprocessors to memory banks, FIFOs, or peripheral ASICs through custom glue logic. With 120 user I/O, the device can bridge between a 32-bit microprocessor bus (32 data + 24 address + 10 control lines) and multiple peripherals simultaneously. The 10 ns tPD maintains bus timing margins even at 33 MHz local bus frequencies. Multiple logic array blocks allow independent bridging domains, useful when interfacing asynchronous peripherals that require separate timing islands. Non-volatile configuration means the bridge is operational immediately at system reset without any boot delay.

🔧

Test Equipment Front Panel Logic

Test and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal generators employ the EPM7256AETC144-10N for front-panel control logic - LED multiplexing, switch debouncing, rotary encoder decoding, and LCD segment driving. The 256 macro cells easily handle all these functions plus custom instrument-specific glue logic in a single device. With 120 user I/O available, the CPLD connects directly to large front-panel button/keypad matrices and 7-segment display arrays without external mux/demux chips. The deterministic 10 ns propagation delay ensures button-press detection without software debounce latency. Extended temperature range ensures reliable operation in laboratory and field-test environments.

EPM7256AETC144-10N vs EPM7256AETC100-10N - which is better?
The EPM7256AETC144-10N (144-pin TQFP) and EPM7256AETC100-10N (100-pin TQFP) share identical silicon die - 256 macro cells, 10 ns tPD, 95.2 MHz fMAX - but differ in pin count and available user I/O. The 144-pin package exposes 120 I/O, while the 100-pin package offers fewer I/O due to additional ground/power pin density. Choose the 144-pin version for I/O-rich designs (e.g. 32-bit bus decoding) and the 100-pin version for cost-constrained or compact layouts with lower I/O count requirements.
Is the EPM7256AETC144-10N pin-compatible with the MAX 7000S family?
Yes, the EPM7256AETC144-10N is pin-compatible with the 5.0V MAX 7000S family according to the MAX 7000A datasheet, allowing board-level migration. Both families share the same JTAG pinout (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO), power/ground distribution, and I/O pin assignments, so a PCB designed for MAX 7000S can accept a MAX 7000A device without layout changes. This compatibility enables upgrades from 5V to 3.3V operation with reduced power consumption.
When should I choose EPM7256AETC144-10N over MAX V CPLDs?
Choose the EPM7256AETC144-10N when maintaining pin-compatibility with an existing MAX 7000A or MAX 7000S design, when matching legacy 5V-tolerance is required, or when sourcing a long-established CPLD for repair/aftermarket use. Choose MAX V (e.g. 5M240ZT100) for new designs where active Intel lifecycle support, lower static power (under 100 uA), and modern Quartus Prime tool support are needed. Note that MAX V devices are not pin-compatible with MAX 7000A, so they require PCB rework.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPM7256AETC144-10N?
The best drop-in replacement for EPM7256AETC144-10N is EPM7256AETC144-10 (same die, leaded finish, 144-pin TQFP, identical 10 ns tPD) and EPM7256AETC100-10N (same die, different package pinout).

주요 차별점

  • Same silicon die as EPM7256AETC144-10, different lead finish (vs EPM7256AETC144-10)
  • Faster pin-to-pin delay than EPM7256AETC144-10 (vs EPM7256AEFI100-7)
  • Higher pin density than 100-pin TQFP variants (vs EPM7256AETC100-10N)

설계 노트

The 144-pin TQFP package requires careful PCB layout: provide a continuous ground plane beneath the device, use 0.1 uF decoupling capacitors on every VCCINT/VCCIO pin pair within 5 mm of the package, and route all JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) as a matched-length group with 10 kOhm pull-up on TMS and 1 kOhm pull-down on TCK per Altera MAX 7000A design guidelines. Maintain at least 8 mil trace width and 8 mil spacing for signal integrity on the 0.5 mm pitch TQFP land pattern.

Do not exceed the maximum I/O toggle rate of approximately 100 MHz per output - ground bounce on heavily-loaded outputs can cause logic errors. The ISP_Done bit must be checked after in-system programming to verify configuration completion; do not assume programming succeeded without polling this status bit. When migrating from MAX 7000S (5V) to MAX 7000A (3.3V), ensure all connected logic is 5V-tolerant; connecting 3.3V-only signals to non-tolerant 5V inputs will damage the device.

Estimated: at 95.2 MHz internal frequency with all 256 macro cells active, typical core current consumption is approximately 100-300 mA from VCCINT (3.3V). Bulk decoupling of 33 uF tantalum plus 0.1 uF ceramic on each VCCINT pin is recommended. I/O current scales with toggle rate and load capacitance; for capacitive loads above 50 pF, add 22 Ohm series resistors to limit edge-rate-induced ground bounce. Total board-level power budget should allocate at least 1.5W for the CPLD plus margin for switching transients.
