Typical Applications

EPM5192AGC-15 is suitable for 6 applications: 32-Bit Microprocessor Bus Decoder, State-Machine and Sequencer Controller, Memory Address Decoder / Chip-Select Generator, TTL/CMOS Glue-Logic Consolidation, DMA Controller / Bus Arbiter, Legacy Industrial Control Logic.

🖥️

32-Bit Microprocessor Bus Decoder

The EPM5192AGC-15 fits 32-bit microprocessor bus decoding applications because its 192 macrocells and 72 inputs allow entire address/data/control signal decoding in a single device, while the 15 ns tPD matches 33 MHz bus timing with margin. In a typical 68030 or 80386 bus interface, the device replaces multiple 74F138/74F139 decoders, latches chip-select and DTACK generation logic, and produces clean RAS/CAS or memory-mapped selects. With 64 I/O pins, it supports wide address buses without external expansion, and the 5 V CMOS I/O is directly compatible with TTL peripheral logic of that era. The predictable timing also simplifies worst-case AC analysis in safety-critical decoder paths.

🔧

State-Machine and Sequencer Controller

The EPM5192AGC-15 is well suited to state-machine and sequencer controllers where multiple inputs must be polled in parallel and deterministic outputs produced with known latency. Its 192 macrocells can encode complex Moore/Mealy state machines with 16-32 states, while 64 I/O pins accommodate status inputs, control outputs, and handshake lines. The 15 ns tPD ensures state transitions complete within one 33 MHz clock cycle, enabling single-clock-step state machines without metastability risk. Compared with discrete 74LS/74F flip-flop chains, the integrated implementation improves noise immunity, reduces PCB area, and simplifies design changes via reprogramming rather than board rework.

💾

Memory Address Decoder / Chip-Select Generator

The EPM5192AGC-15 fits memory address decoder applications because its high input count supports full address-bus monitoring plus control signals (RD, WR, MREQ, CAS, RAS), and its macrocell density allows generation of 16-32 independent chip-select outputs. The 15 ns propagation delay ensures CS asserts within the same bus cycle as the address valid, which is critical for zero-wait-state memory interfaces at 25-33 MHz. Compared with cascaded 74LS138 decoders, the EPLD solution reduces package count, improves glitch immunity via registered outputs, and allows late-stage address-map changes via reprogramming rather than PCB rewire - ideal for prototype-to-production transitions.

🔌

TTL/CMOS Glue-Logic Consolidation

The EPM5192AGC-15 is an excellent glue-logic consolidation vehicle, replacing dozens of 74LS00, 74LS151, 74LS153, 74LS244, and 74LS373 packages with a single ceramic PGA device. Its 192 macrocells and 64 I/O pins can absorb a complete board's worth of AND/OR/registered logic, while the 5 V CMOS I/O is fully compatible with legacy 74LS/74AS/74F TTL families. The 15 ns tPD matches or beats typical 74LS propagation delays, so timing closure is rarely an issue. In retrofit and obsolescence-management projects, the EPM5192 series allows legacy boards to be modernized without a full PCB redesign, preserving mechanical form factor and connectors.

🌐

DMA Controller / Bus Arbiter

The EPM5192AGC-15 fits DMA controller and bus arbiter roles because its macrocell density handles multi-master arbitration trees (daisy-chain, priority, or rotating-priority) and its input count monitors HOLD/HLDA/REQ/ACK signals plus multiple bus-request lines. The 15 ns propagation delay ensures arbitration decisions complete within a single bus cycle, preventing deadlocks and bus contention. Registered outputs with programmable polarity simplify generation of grant signals, while the EPLD's deterministic timing allows precise worst-case latency calculation - important when the arbiter must guarantee bounded access latency to multiple masters.

🏭

Legacy Industrial Control Logic

The EPM5192AGC-15 is used in long-lifecycle industrial control systems (factory automation, test equipment, military/aerospace subsystems) where the original MAX 5000 design must be maintained for 20-30+ year service intervals. Its ceramic PGA package and 5 V CMOS operation suit industrial temperature ranges and high-reliability applications, while the UV-erasable window allows field reprogramming for design updates. For obsolescence management, the EPM5192 family is typically replaced on a like-for-like basis using verified surplus stock, with new designs migrating to MAX 7000AE in equivalent logic capacity. Source traceability and burn-in testing are recommended when qualifying replacement parts.

According to the Altera datasheet, it provides 192 macrocells, 64 I/O pins plus 7 dedicated inputs (72 total inputs), and a 15 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay in a ceramic PGA package. It is designed for 5 V bus-interface, state-machine, and glue-logic applications.
How many macrocells and I/O pins does EPM5192AGC-15 have?
The EPM5192AGC-15 contains 192 macrocells organized in logic array blocks, with 64 user I/O pins and 7 dedicated input pins for 72 total inputs. Per the Altera datasheet (52 pages), this macrocell count places it at the top of the MAX 5000 family and makes it well suited to wide bus decoding and high-pin-count glue-logic consolidation.
What is the propagation delay of EPM5192AGC-15?
The EPM5192AGC-15 has a worst-case pin-to-pin propagation delay of 15 ns, indicated by the '-15' speed grade suffix. According to the Altera datasheet, the EPM5192 family is offered in three speed grades -15 (15 ns), -20 (20 ns), and -25 (25 ns); the -15 grade is the fastest and is used where timing margins are tightest, such as 33 MHz bus decoding.
What supply voltage does EPM5192AGC-15 require?
The EPM5192AGC-15 operates from a single 5 V VCC supply, typical of the MAX 5000 family. According to the Altera datasheet, the device is a pure 5 V CMOS EPLD; no 3.3 V or mixed-voltage I/O support is provided, and inputs must be 5 V TTL-level compatible. Decoupling with 0.1 uF ceramic capacitors placed close to each VCC pin is required.
Is the EPM5192AGC-15 still in production?
No, the EPM5192AGC-15 is obsolete. The MAX 5000 family has been superseded by Altera's (now Intel) MAX 7000, MAX II, MAX V, and MAX 10 CPLD families. According to the verified distributor data, the part is available only through aftermarket distributors such as 1-Source Components and VEKEMO FPGA, typically as factory surplus or refurbished stock.
Where can I buy the EPM5192AGC-15 today?
The EPM5192AGC-15 is available through aftermarket distributors including 1-Source Components and VEKEMO FPGA, with quotes available on request as of 2026-09-12. Because the part is obsolete, authorized-channel stock is generally unavailable; expect extended lead times, premium pricing (around $48 per unit at qty 1), and minimum order quantities. Always verify traceability and authenticity when sourcing obsolete EPLDs.
What is the price of the EPM5192AGC-15?
The EPM5192AGC-15 lists at approximately $48.50 per unit at qty 1, with tier pricing of $42.00 at qty 10, $36.50 at qty 100, $31.20 at qty 500, and $27.80 at qty 1000 (as of 2026-09-12). Pricing reflects the part's obsolete status and limited aftermarket availability; expect additional premiums for traceable, tested stock.
What is the typical lead time for EPM5192AGC-15?
Lead time for the EPM5192AGC-15 is typically 4 to 8 weeks because the part is obsolete and is sourced from aftermarket distributors rather than authorized channels. Per verified distributor data, 1-Source Components and VEKEMO FPGA provide real-time stock checks and quotation-based ordering. For new designs, Altera (Intel) recommends migrating to the MAX 7000AE or MAX II families for guaranteed long-term supply.
What is the difference between EPM5192AGC-15 and EPM5192AGC-20?
The EPM5192AGC-15 and EPM5192AGC-20 share identical 192-macrocell architecture, 72 inputs, and ceramic PGA package; they differ only in speed grade. The -15 variant has a 15 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay, while the -20 variant is rated at 20 ns. Both are pin-compatible drop-in replacements within the EPM5192 family; the -15 grade simply offers tighter timing margin at higher cost.
Can I replace the EPM5192AGC-15 with a MAX 7000 device?
Yes, with caveats. The MAX 7000AE (EPM7128AE, EPM7256AE) and MAX II (EPM240, EPM570) families offer more macrocells, lower power, and in-system programmability, but they use different packages (PLCC, QFP, BGA) and require PCB redesign. According to Altera migration notes, a software-level MAX 5000 to MAX 7000 design conversion is supported in Quartus MAX+legacy flows, but pinout mapping is not 1:1 and full re-layout is required.
What package does the EPM5192AGC-15 use?
The EPM5192AGC-15 is supplied in a ceramic Pin Grid Array (PGA) package, denoted by the 'GC' suffix in the part number. Per the Altera datasheet, the ceramic PGA is windowed for UV erasure during development; production systems typically use the equivalent plastic PGA or PLCC variants in the same family. The package is socket-compatible with standard PGA sockets of the appropriate pin count.
Is the EPM5192AGC-15 pin-compatible with the EPM5192AGC (no speed grade)?
The EPM5192AGC-15 and the EPM5192AGC share the same ceramic PGA pinout and are pin-to-pin compatible on the same PCB footprint. The only difference is the speed grade - the -15 variant is rated at 15 ns propagation delay, while the unmarked EPM5192AGC defaults to the standard commercial speed grade. Both are 192-macrocell, 72-input devices in the same package.
What is the EPM5192AGC-15 used for in legacy designs?
The EPM5192AGC-15 was widely used in 1990s-era designs for 32-bit microprocessor bus decoding, memory address decoding, DMA/state-machine controllers, and replacement of multiple 74LS/74F glue-logic packages. According to the Altera datasheet, its 72 inputs and 192 macrocells allowed consolidation of entire decoder banks into a single device, while the 15 ns delay matched 33 MHz bus timing. Modern equivalents with similar roles include MAX 7000AE and MAX II CPLDs.
Where can I download the EPM5192 datasheet PDF?
The EPM5192 datasheet PDF (52 pages) is available from AllDatasheet at https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/122504/ALTERA/EPM5192.html and from DigChip at https://www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/033/EPM5192.php. The datasheet covers the full EPM5192 family, including the -15, -20, and -25 speed grades, with functional descriptions, AC/DC characteristics, and programming specifications for the MAX 5000 architecture.
What is the best cross-brand equivalent for the EPM5192AGC-15?
There is no modern cross-brand drop-in equivalent for the EPM5192AGC-15 because the MAX 5000 family uses a unique ceramic PGA pinout that no current CPLD manufacturer replicates. Per the verified cross-reference data, the closest cross-brand alternatives are Xilinx XC9500 series CPLDs (e.g., XC95144 in PQ100 package), but these require PCB redesign and software migration to Xilinx ISE/WebPACK. For new designs, the recommended path is migration to a MAX 7000AE or MAX II device in a current package.

Selection Guide

Choose the EPM5192AGC-15 when maintaining a legacy 5 V MAX 5000 design that requires the fastest 15 ns timing grade and you have a ceramic PGA footprint in place. Choose the EPM5192AGC-20 (same die, 20 ns) for cost reduction in designs where 5-7 ns of timing margin can be relaxed. For new designs, migrate to MAX 7000AE (EPM7128AE, EPM7256AE) or MAX II (EPM240, EPM570) in plastic QFP packages - they offer higher density, lower power, 3.3 V/5 V tolerance, JTAG in-system programming, and long-term RoHS-compliant supply. The EPM5192 family is obsolete; source only from verified aftermarket distributors and validate traceability for safety-critical applications.

Key Differentiators

  • Fastest speed grade in the MAX 5000 family (vs EPM5192AGC-20)
  • High input count supports wide bus monitoring (vs EPM5064LC)
  • UV-erasable ceramic PGA supports development reuse (vs EPM5192AGC84-15)

Design Notes

Decouple the EPM5192AGC-15 with one 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor per VCC pin, placed as close to the package as the ceramic PGA socket allows. The MAX 5000 family draws transient currents during output switching that can exceed 200 mA per output bank; bulk decoupling with a 10-47 uF tantalum capacitor near the device improves rail stability. Estimated: total ICC at 25 MHz toggling on 32 outputs approaches 200-300 mA, so the 5 V supply must source at least 500 mA with adequate margin.

Mount the EPM5192AGC-15 in a low-profile PGA socket to allow UV erasure during development; production builds typically use a one-time-programmed (OTP) plastic PGA variant of the same family. Keep high-speed outputs (clock, chip-select, write strobes) short and impedance-controlled, and isolate TTL inputs with series termination if they exceed 6 inches. The ceramic PGA's thermal pad (if present) should be soldered to a ground pour to reduce junction temperature by 10-15 C under full I/O toggling load.

Do not assume modern CPLD development software (Quartus, Vivado, iCEcube2) supports the EPM5192 family; use Altera MAX+PLUS II version 10.x or older for design entry and fitting. When programming via the Altera programming hardware, ensure the device-erase cycle (UV exposure of 30-45 minutes at 12,000 uW/cm2 for windowed packages) is performed before re-programming, otherwise new patterns may overlap residual EPROM states. Note that ceramic PGA packages are not RoHS-compliant; for Pb-free manufacturing, plan a redesign to MAX 7000AE in PQFP/TQFP packages.
