Typical Applications

EPM5032DI-25 is suitable for 6 applications: TTL/CMOS Glue Logic Replacement, Address Decoder and Chip-Select Generator, State Machine Controller, Bus Arbitration Logic, Legacy Industrial Control Logic, Military and Aerospace Avionics (Legacy).

🔧

TTL/CMOS Glue Logic Replacement

The EPM5032DI-25 consolidates dozens of 74LS/74F glue-logic gates - decoders, muxes, latches, comparators - into a single 32-macrocell PLD with 320 product terms and 16 bidirectional I/O pins. Its 25 ns propagation delay (62.5 MHz fMAX) is fast enough for address decoding, chip-select generation, and bus-interface logic in legacy 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessor systems where discrete SSI/MSI packages would otherwise consume significant board area. Use it to replace 5-10 discrete 74-series packages while preserving the original circuit topology.

🖥️

Address Decoder and Chip-Select Generator

With 32 macrocells and 24 array inputs, the EPM5032DI-25 can implement complex address-decoding trees for memory-mapped peripherals, dual-port memory arbitration, and chip-select steering across multiple address ranges. The 25 ns tPD through the AND-OR-PIA path keeps the decoded /CS signal within one clock cycle at 25 MHz, while the registered outputs provide glitch-free select generation. This is a classic MAX 5000 application and remains in use in legacy VME, ISA, and proprietary backplane designs.

🏭

State Machine Controller

The EPM5032DI-25's 16 programmable macrocell flip-flops (configurable as D, T, JK, or SR) and 320 product terms make it well suited to medium-complexity state machines - 8 to 16 states with combinational outputs and inputs - used in serial-protocol controllers, sequencers, and industrial control logic. Each registered output can drive a state-bit while the combinational product-term logic implements the next-state and output decoder. The 62.5 MHz fMAX supports state transitions at sub-microsecond speeds typical of telecommunications and instrumentation timing.

🌐

Bus Arbitration Logic

Multi-master bus systems (VME, Multibus, proprietary backplanes) require deterministic arbitration logic - request/grant handshakes, priority encoders, and bus-mux control - which maps naturally to the EPM5032DI-25's AND-OR sum-of-products architecture. The 24 array inputs handle multiple bus-request lines and grant outputs, while the 16 registered outputs can hold bus ownership latches. The 25 ns propagation delay matches the arbitration timing budgets of legacy 8/16-bit backplane designs without inserting wait states.

🏭

Legacy Industrial Control Logic

Industrial control systems deployed in the 1990s - PLCs, motor drives, process-control instrumentation - frequently use the EPM5032DI-25 for custom sequencing, fault-handling, and I/O-conditioning logic. Its 5 V TTL-compatible I/O, ceramic DIP package (suitable for high-temperature and high-vibration environments when socketed), and 32-macrocell capacity handle typical 16-I/O PLC rack modules. The UV-erasable window allows field re-programming during commissioning, while the NRND status means long-term support requires inventory planning or migration to MAX II CPLDs.

✈️

Military and Aerospace Avionics (Legacy)

The EPM5032DI-25 was widely deployed in 1990s military and aerospace avionics where its ceramic windowed DIP package, CMOS radiation tolerance, and 5 V supply met reliability requirements for flight-control, navigation, and communications subsystems. With 32 macrocells it implements medium-complexity glue logic between MIL-STD-1553 bus controllers, discrete sensor interfaces, and actuator drivers. Long-term support for these systems requires obsolete-component sourcing and lot-trace verification - the part's NRND status as of 2026-09-12 means new designs should migrate to radiation-tolerant FPGAs or modern CPLDs.

What is the EPM5032DI-25?
The EPM5032DI-25 is a 32-macrocell UV-erasable programmable logic device (PLD) from Altera's legacy MAX 5000 family.

What is the maximum clock frequency of EPM5032DI-25?
The EPM5032DI-25 supports a maximum clock frequency (fMAX) of 62.5 MHz, derived from its 25 ns propagation delay through the AND-OR array and macrocell register. This places it in the medium-speed tier of legacy Altera PLDs, suitable for state machines, bus decoders, and glue logic in industrial and telecommunications systems of the 1990s era.
Is the EPM5032DI-25 still in production?
No, the EPM5032DI-25 is classified as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) and is approaching end-of-life. Altera (now Intel PSG) has transitioned customers to MAX II, MAX V, or MAX 10 CPLD families. Current supply comes from authorized distributors and franchised brokers holding residual inventory; lead times may extend 8-12+ weeks for production volumes.
Where to buy EPM5032DI-25 online?
The EPM5032DI-25 is available from authorized distributors including DigiKey and Mouser (subject to stock), and from franchised brokers such as Avnet, Arrow, and independent obsolete-component specialists. For verified authenticity on this NRND part, always request a Certificate of Conformance (CoC) and trace the manufacturing lot - counterfeit risk is elevated for legacy ceramic-DIP UV-erasable PLDs.
What is the price of EPM5032DI-25 in 2026?
As of 2026-09-12, the EPM5032DI-25 lists at approximately $38.50 USD per unit at qty-1, scaling to about $18.20 USD per unit at qty-1000 from authorized distributors. Market price fluctuates based on remaining wafer/die inventory; the part is approaching obsolescence so pricing trends upward over time. Independent brokers may offer lower pricing but with higher counterfeit risk.
What is the lead time for EPM5032DI-25?
Lead time for the EPM5032DI-25 as of 2026-09-12 is typically 8-12 weeks for production volumes when ordered through authorized channels, due to its NRND status and limited remaining wafer stock. Small-quantity prototype orders (qty 1-50) may ship from distributor shelf stock in 3-5 business days. For new designs, Intel/Altera recommends migrating to MAX II or MAX V CPLD families.
Is EPM5032DI-25 in stock?
Stock availability for the EPM5032DI-25 is constrained as of 2026-09-12. Authorized distributors like DigiKey and Mouser report intermittent stock with small quantities available; larger production orders typically require extended lead times. Contact franchised brokers and obsolete-component specialists for higher volumes, and request lot-trace documentation to verify authenticity.
What is the difference between EPM5032DI-25 and EPM5032DC-25?
The EPM5032DI-25 comes in a ceramic DIP (windowed, UV-erasable) package, while the EPM5032DC-25 comes in a plastic DIP (one-time-programmable, OTP) package. Both share the same 32-macrocell die, 25 ns tPD, 320 product terms, and 5 V supply. The ceramic windowed version supports UV erasure for re-programming; the plastic OTP version is for low-cost production where re-programmability is not required.
EPM5032DI-25 vs EPM5032DI-20 - which is faster?
The EPM5032DI-25 has a 25 ns propagation delay (62.5 MHz fMAX), while the EPM5032DI-20 has a 20 ns propagation delay (83.3 MHz fMAX). Both share the same MAX 5000 architecture, 32 macrocells, 320 product terms, and ceramic DIP package. Choose EPM5032DI-20 for higher-speed designs; EPM5032DI-25 offers slightly lower cost and is sufficient for most glue-logic and decoder applications.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPM5032DI-25?
The closest drop-in same-package replacement for EPM5032DI-25 is the EPM5032DC-25 (plastic DIP, OTP version of the same die) from the Site MPN list, sharing identical pinout, 32 macrocells, 25 ns tPD, and 5 V supply. For modern replacements in new designs, the Altera (Intel) EPM3032ATC44-10 CPLD (MAX 3000A family, 32 macrocells, 44-pin TQFP, 10 ns tPD) is pin-compatible at the macrocell level but requires PCB redesign due to different package.
Can I replace EPM5032DI-25 with EPM5032DC-20 directly?
Yes, you can replace EPM5032DI-25 with EPM5032DC-20 if your design tolerates the speed difference - the DC-20 has a 20 ns tPD (faster) versus 25 ns for the DI-25, and is plastic DIP (OTP) rather than ceramic windowed. The pinout is identical. Be aware that the OTP package cannot be UV-erased; if you need re-programmability, source the ceramic windowed variant instead.

Selection Guide

Choose the EPM5032DI-25 when you need a 32-macrocell UV-erasable PLD for legacy glue-logic, decoder, or state-machine designs in industrial, telecom, or military systems where re-programmability via UV erasure is required and the part is already in your BOM. The 25 ns tPD (62.5 MHz fMAX) is sufficient for most bus-decoding and control applications up to 25 MHz. For 10-15% cost savings over the DI-20, the -25 is preferable when the 5 ns speed margin is not critical. If you need faster speed, choose EPM5032DI-20 (20 ns tPD); if you need lower cost and one-time programmability for production, choose EPM5032DC-25 (plastic DIP OTP, same die); if your design fits in 16 macrocells, choose EPM5016DC-20 for 50% density reduction. For all NEW designs in 2026, do NOT use the MAX 5000 family - migrate to Altera (Intel) MAX II, MAX V, or MAX 10 CPLDs which are active, JTAG-programmable, lower power, and have ongoing Intel PSG support.

Key Differentiators

  • UV-erasable ceramic windowed package for field re-programmability (vs EPM5032DC-25 (plastic DIP OTP))
  • Higher macrocell density than MAX 5000 16-cell predecessors (vs EPM5016DC-20)
  • 25 ns speed grade balances cost and performance (vs EPM5032DI-20)

Design Notes

The EPM5032DI-25 is a UV-erasable ceramic DIP and MUST be socketed (not soldered) if you need to re-program it. Soldering directly to the PCB prevents UV erasure through the quartz window and makes field re-programming impossible. Use a machined-pin DIP socket (e.g., 3M Textool or Aries) for development and prototype work; for production volumes, migrate to the OTP plastic-DIP EPM5032DC-25 variant of the same die.

Place the EPM5032DI-25 close to its associated logic to minimize the 25 ns propagation-delay budget being eaten by PCB trace delay. At TTL edge rates (2-3 ns rise time), trace delays of ~15 cm/inch add approximately 1.5 ns/inch; keep all related traces under 6 inches to stay within timing margin. Use a solid ground plane under the device and decoupling capacitors (0.1 uF ceramic + 10 uF tantalum) within 5 mm of VCC pins to suppress switching noise on the 5 V rail.

The EPM5032DI-25 operates from a single 5 V +/- 10% supply. Each output can sink/source 24 mA (TTL compatible), and the device typically draws ICC of approximately 100-200 mA depending on output loading and toggle rate. Add bulk decoupling (47-100 uF) at the board entry point and local 0.1 uF ceramics at every VCC pin. Estimated: at 50% utilization and 20 MHz toggle rate, expect approximately 150 mA ICC - design the 5 V regulator with at least 50% headroom.

Do not design the EPM5032DI-25 into NEW production designs as of 2026-09-12. The part is NRND with limited remaining wafer stock and 8-12 week lead times. For new designs, migrate to the Altera (Intel) MAX II EPM240T100C5N, MAX V EPM5V256A5N, or MAX 10 EPM10CL16U256C8G - these provide JTAG in-system programming, lower power, higher density, and active lifecycle status. The MAX 5000 family uses legacy MAX+PLUS II or A+PLUS development software which is no longer supported by Intel PSG.
