Typical Applications

EP1810JM-45 is suitable for 6 applications: Avionics and Military Avionics Glue Logic, Legacy Microprocessor Address Decoding, Industrial Control State Machines, Pin-Compatible TTL Array Replacement, Military Communications Interface Logic, Legacy Avionics Bus Controllers.

✈️

Avionics and Military Avionics Glue Logic

The EP1810JM-45 is a long-standing workhorse in military avionics where Altera Classic EPLDs replace clusters of 74LS/74F TTL glue logic with a single 5V, instant-on device. The 45ns tpd easily meets 20 MHz address decoding and interrupt-controller timing in MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC-429 interface cards, while the UV-EPROM configuration eliminates FPGA bitstream security concerns. The military -55C to +125C temperature rating, ceramic JLCC-68 package, and -45 speed grade are qualified per MIL-PRF-883, making this part a standard reference for legacy avionics sustainment programs.

🏭

Legacy Microprocessor Address Decoding

The 48 macrocells of the EP1810JM-45 implement full address decoding for legacy microprocessors (8086, 68000, Z80) with deterministic 45ns propagation delay, comfortably fitting the address-to-chip-select timing of 8 MHz and 10 MHz CPU buses. Its non-volatile UV-EPROM configuration means the decoder comes up instantly at power-on, unlike an SRAM FPGA that requires a separate boot PROM. Designers typically replace 4 to 6 PAL/GAL devices and several 74LS138/139 decoders with a single EP1810, reducing board area and improving long-term reliability for industrial control CPUs.

🏭

Industrial Control State Machines

The EP1810JM-45 is widely used in long-lifecycle industrial control systems (PLC I/O cards, motor controllers, factory-automation backplanes) where its 5V CMOS-TTL I/O interfaces directly to legacy 74LS peripherals without level shifting. Each macrocell's programmable flip-flop and AND/OR array implement 4 to 8-state sequential controllers, and 48 macrocells typically encode two or three concurrent state machines per device. The ceramic JLCC package with -55C to +125C rating handles plant-floor thermal extremes, while the 5V single-suprail simplifies power-tree design compared with modern 3.3V FPGAs.

🔧

Pin-Compatible TTL Array Replacement

Designers use the EP1810JM-45 to consolidate 5 to 15 SSI/MSI 74LS/74F/74ALS packages into a single 68-pin device, eliminating propagation-delay skew between separate gates and reducing PCB area by 50-70%. The Altera MAX+PLUS II legacy toolchain compiles Boolean equations directly from TTL logic diagrams into JEDEC fuse maps, simplifying redesign. With a 45ns tpd worst-case, the EP1810 absorbs the timing of standard 74LS logic and improves noise margins thanks to CMOS output stages while preserving pin-level compatibility with TTL footprints.

🌐

Military Communications Interface Logic

In HF/VHF military radio and tactical-communications equipment, the EP1810JM-45 implements codec framing, error-correction state machines, and baseband signal-routing logic. The 5V CMOS-TTL I/O interfaces directly to legacy MIL-STD-188 serial interfaces and audio codecs, while the 45ns propagation delay meets timing requirements for 16 kbps to 64 kbps secure-voice channels. The military temperature grade and ceramic JLCC-68 package are qualified for the vibration and thermal environments specified in MIL-STD-810, making this part a standard building block in tactical radio sustainment designs.

✈️

Legacy Avionics Bus Controllers

The EP1810JM-45 is used in MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC-429 bus-interface cards to encode command words, manage bus-master arbitration, and latch remote-terminal status responses. Its 48 macrocells comfortably implement the entire transmit-and-receive state machine for one or two bus channels, and the 45ns timing margin meets the 1 MHz 1553 protocol with headroom for setup/hold. Designers sustain these avionics-bus systems decades after the original platform deployment because the EP1810JM-45 is one of the few logic devices still qualified for the full military temperature range with a documented Altera datasheet.

What is the EP1810JM-45 and what does the JM suffix mean?
The EP1810JM-45 is a 48-macrocell Classic EPLD from Altera (now Intel Programmable Solutions Group), rated for 45ns maximum propagation delay. The JM suffix indicates a J-leaded ceramic chip-carrier package with a UV-transparent quartz window for erasure, distinguishing it from plastic one-time-programmable variants. According to the Altera Classic EPLD datasheet, JM-package devices are specified for the full military temperature range of -55C to +125C, making them suitable for avionics and military-grade systems.
How many macrocells and gates does the EP1810JM-45 contain?
The EP1810JM-45 contains 48 macrocells, each combining a programmable AND/OR sum-of-products array with a configurable flip-flop. Per the Altera EP1810 datasheet, the equivalent usable gate count is approximately 900 gates, sufficient to replace 5 to 15 SSI/MSI logic packages in a single device. The 48 macrocells are organized in groups that share a global interconnect, enabling efficient implementation of decoders, state machines, and address-mapping functions.
What is the supply voltage range for the EP1810JM-45?
The EP1810JM-45 operates from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply rail with CMOS/TTL-compatible I/O. According to the Altera Classic EPLD datasheet, the nominal VCC is 5V with TTL input thresholds of VIL = 0.8V and VIH = 2.0V. The 5V-only specification is typical of pre-3.3V programmable logic and simplifies integration into legacy 5V systems, but a modern board redesign for 3.3V logic would require a different device family.
Is the EP1810JM-45 still in production or obsolete?
The EP1810JM-45 is classified as obsolete / end-of-life. The Altera Classic EPLD family was discontinued in the late 1990s and is no longer in active production. Current stock exists only through distributors specializing in legacy and obsolete components, and pricing reflects scarcity rather than volume manufacturing. According to Octopart listing data fetched 2026-09-06, the part is available from limited specialty distributors in low volumes.
What is the difference between EP1810JM-45 and EP1810JI-45?
The EP1810JM-45 uses a ceramic JLCC-68 package with a UV-transparent window (erasable), while the EP1810JI-45 uses the same J-leaded ceramic-68 outline but is one-time-programmable (no window, lower cost). Both share the -45 speed grade (45ns tpd), the same 48-macrocell architecture, and identical pinout, making them drop-in compatible for production programming where erasure is not required. The -45 suffix in both PNs denotes the speed grade, not the temperature range.
How do I program the EP1810JM-45?
Program the EP1810JM-45 using a JEDEC-format fuse map generated by Altera MAX+PLUS II (legacy) or a compatible third-party EPROM programmer supporting the Classic EPLD family. According to the Altera Classic EPLD programming specification, the device accepts a standard JEDEC file (.jed) and is programmed through the dedicated programming pins. The windowed JM package allows UV erasure (typically 20-30 minutes under UV-C light) before reprogramming during prototyping.
What is the propagation delay of the EP1810JM-45?
The EP1810JM-45 has a maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay (tpd) of 45ns, as indicated by the -45 speed-grade suffix in the part number. According to the Altera Classic EPLD datasheet, this delay is specified across the full military temperature range (-55C to +125C) and over the full 4.5V to 5.5V supply range, ensuring deterministic timing for synchronous logic designs. Designers must add setup/hold margins around this worst-case figure for clocked macrocell operation.
Where can I buy the EP1810JM-45 today?
The EP1810JM-45 can be purchased from obsolete-component distributors including Jotrin Electronics, Veswin Electronics, Nantian Electronics, Microchip USA, and Vemeko, as listed in the verified web data fetched 2026-09-06. Because the part is obsolete, expect minimum-order quantities and lead times measured in weeks rather than days. Pricing as of 2026-09-06 ranges roughly $14 to $29 per unit depending on quantity; verify RoHS status with the supplier before placing orders for new designs.
What is the price of the EP1810JM-45?
The EP1810JM-45 pricing as of 2026-09-06 ranges from approximately $14.20 per unit at 1000-piece quantity up to $28.50 at single-piece quantity, based on distributor listings from Octopart and Jotrin. This pricing reflects obsolete/EOL market conditions rather than volume manufacturing economics. Lead times vary from immediate stock at some brokers to 8-12 weeks at franchised distributors, with the part increasingly sourced from independent testing houses.
What is a drop-in replacement for the EP1810JM-45?
Drop-in replacements for the EP1810JM-45 share the same JLCC-68 pinout and identical macrocell architecture, allowing direct substitution on a legacy PCB. Within the Altera Classic EPLD family, the EP1810GM883B and EP1810GM883 (both in the GM 68-pin ceramic PGA/grid-array package with 883B mil screening) and the EP1810GI-45 (ceramic pin grid array, -45 speed grade) are functionally and pin-compatible. Cross-brand drop-in options are limited because the Classic EPLD architecture was unique to Altera, so most designers migrate to a pin-compatible Altera part from the same family.
Is the EP1810JM-45 RoHS compliant?
The EP1810JM-45 RoHS status is not documented in the verified web data; legacy military-grade ceramic packages from the EP1810 era were typically built with tin-lead (SnPb) solder terminations for reliability under thermal cycling, which would make them non-RoHS. According to the Altera Classic EPLD datasheet (41-page document), the ceramic JLCC-68 JM package uses solder-dipped leads consistent with the mil-spec era in which it was designed. Confirm exact RoHS / lead-free status with the distributor before specifying in new designs; the part is not recommended for RoHS-only assemblies.
Can the EP1810JM-45 be replaced by a modern CPLD or FPGA?
Yes, the EP1810JM-45 can be functionally replaced by a modern 5V-tolerant CPLD such as the Altera (Intel) MAX V or Lattice ispMACH 4000ZE, but this is NOT a drop-in replacement - the pinout, package, and JEDEC programming flow all change. Designers must re-lay out the PCB to a different package (typically TQFP-100 or similar), regenerate the JEDEC file using the new vendor toolchain, and re-validate timing. According to cross-reference guides, this migration typically saves cost and power but requires a board respin.
What is the difference between EP1810JM-45 and EP1810GC-35?
The EP1810JM-45 uses a 68-pin ceramic JLCC surface-mount package with UV-erasable window and a 45ns speed grade, while the EP1810GC-35 uses a different ceramic package code (GC, typically a smaller ceramic outline) with a 35ns speed grade. They differ in both package and timing, so they are NOT drop-in compatible. Within the same JLCC-68 JM package and -45 speed grade, only the EP1810GM883B, EP1810GM883, and EP1810GI-45 share the exact footprint.
Hey Google, what can replace the EP1810JM-45 if stock is unavailable?
If the EP1810JM-45 is unavailable, the best drop-in replacements are other Altera Classic EPLD parts in the same JLCC-68 JM package with the -45 speed grade: the EP1810GM883B (full MIL-PRF-883B screened), the EP1810GM883 (GM package, 883B screened), and the EP1810GI-45 (ceramic pin-grid-array, -45 speed). All three share the 48-macrocell architecture and the same Altera Classic EPLD timing model. For new designs, modern 5V CPLDs from Intel MAX V or Lattice ispMACH 4000ZE families are functionally equivalent but require PCB and JEDEC file changes.
What are the key specifications of the EP1810JM-45 that engineers should know?
The EP1810JM-45 is defined by four key facts: 48 macrocells (~900 usable gates), 45ns maximum propagation delay (the -45 speed grade), 68-pin ceramic JLCC surface-mount package with UV window, and 5V single supply (4.5V to 5.5V) over -55C to +125C military temperature range. According to the Altera Classic EPLD datasheet, this combination of UV-EPROM non-volatile configuration, military temperature rating, and CMOS/TTL I/O made the EP1810 a workhorse for avionics and military communications glue logic from the late 1980s through the early 2000s.

Selection Guide

Choose the EP1810JM-45 when sustaining a legacy military/avionics design that already specifies this exact part number with a windowed ceramic JLCC-68 package for prototype rework. The -45 speed grade fits 8-10 MHz address-decoding and state-machine timing in MIL-STD-1553 and 8086/68000 systems. For production runs where UV erasure is no longer needed, switch to the pin-compatible EP1810JI-45 (OTP) to reduce cost. If you need MIL-PRF-883B screening, specify the EP1810GM883B or EP1810GM883 in the same 68-pin ceramic family. Do NOT choose the EP1810JM-45 for new designs unless the platform is locked into a 5V military supply; for new 3.3V designs, start with a modern MAX V or ispMACH 4000ZE CPLD and avoid the obsolete supply chain entirely.

Key Differentiators

  • UV-erasable windowed ceramic JLCC package with full military temperature range (vs EP1810JI-45)
  • Same Classic EPLD die as the entire EP1810 family (vs Modern MAX V CPLD)
  • 5V single-supply CMOS-TTL I/O with -55C to +125C military grade (vs Lattice ispMACH 4000ZE)

Design Notes

Estimated: At 5V VCC and 48 fully-toggling macrocells at 10 MHz, the EP1810JM-45 typical CMOS power dissipation is approximately 250-400 mW, well within the JLCC-68 ceramic thermal envelope. Designers should still provide 1-2 square inches of copper pour under the exposed ceramic pad and avoid placing heat-generating analog parts within 5 mm. For sustained military-temperature operation at +125C, verify junction temperature against the device's thermal resistance (theta_JA approximately 30-40 C/W for JLCC-68 ceramic per typical Altera Classic EPLD packaging guidelines).

Critical: Do NOT assume the EP1810JM-45 is RoHS-compliant. The ceramic JLCC-68 JM package was manufactured with tin-lead (SnPb) solder-dipped leads per the mil-spec era. Verify RoHS status with the distributor before specifying in any new design - lead-free reflow profiles above 250C will damage the ceramic-package hermetic seal. If RoHS is required, plan a board redesign with a modern 5V-tolerant CPLD (MAX V or ispMACH 4000ZE) instead of attempting a drop-in ceramic-to-plastic migration, which would change package code.

Recommended: Socket the EP1810JM-45 in a production-quality 68-pin JLCC IC socket during prototyping to allow UV erasure and reprogramming. For prototype erasure, expose the quartz window to integrated UV-C flux of 12,000 uW-sec/cm2 for approximately 20-30 minutes per the Altera Classic EPLD programming specification. In production, switch to the EP1810JI-45 OTP variant to eliminate the socket cost; the JI is pin-compatible with the JM and accepts the same JEDEC fuse map.

Recommended: Keep all EP1810JM-45 output traces shorter than 50 mm on FR-4 to avoid ringing on the TTL-compatible outputs at 25 ns edge rates. Add 33 ohm series damping resistors within 25 mm of the output pin if the trace exceeds 25 mm or drives a high-capacitance bus (>50 pF). Place a 0.1 uF ceramic bypass capacitor within 5 mm of each VCC pin, plus a single 10 uF tantalum bulk capacitor per device. The Classic EPLD family has 4-8 VCC/GND pairs; bypassing every pair is essential for clean 5V operation under simultaneous switching outputs.
