Safe Operating Area (SOA) & Thermal Characteristics
No official SOA curve available for this digital IC. Always operate within absolute maximum ratings specified in the datasheet. Ensure adequate cooling and derate as needed.
Typical Applications
EPM5192JC68 is suitable for 7 applications: Legacy Bus-Interface Glue Logic, Address Decoding & Chip Select Generation, State Machine Controllers, Pin-Compatible Upgrade Path, Industrial Process Control Logic, Telecom Backplane Glue Logic, Aerospace & Defense Legacy Support.
Legacy Bus-Interface Glue Logic
The EPM5192JC68 is widely deployed as glue logic between microprocessors, memory, and peripherals on legacy ISA, VME, and proprietary backplane buses. Its 192 macrocells can decode full 24-bit address spaces and generate chip-select and wait-state signals with deterministic 35 ns pin-to-pin delays, replacing dozens of 74LS logic devices. The 76 user I/O pins in the 68-pin PLCC provide ample interconnect for multi-bank bus designs, and the UV-erasable EPROM allows in-house prototyping without a one-time-programmable mask charge.
Recommended
Address Decoding & Chip Select Generation
The EPM5192JC68's 192 macrocells and 12 dedicated inputs make it ideal for multi-bank address decoding in microprocessor systems. With 16 expander product terms per macrocell, the device can implement complex decode trees and generate up to 16 individual chip-select outputs in a single package, eliminating the need for multiple 74LS138/139 decoder ICs. The PLCC-68 footprint is socket-compatible with standard 68-pin PLCC sockets for easy prototyping and field replacement.
Recommended
State Machine Controllers
The EPM5192JC68 implements large Moore and Mealy state machines for industrial and telecom control applications. Each macrocell contains a programmable flip-flop and sum-of-products array, allowing the device to host multiple independent controllers in parallel with deterministic timing. The 4 dedicated clock inputs support multi-clock domains, while the 76 user I/Os handle complex I/O protocols. Long-lifecycle programs in industrial automation rely on the MAX 5000 family for its proven reliability.
Recommended
Pin-Compatible Upgrade Path
The EPM5192JC68 in the 68-pin J-Lead PLCC shares its package footprint with the MAX 7000S family (e.g., EPM7128SLC68, EPM7160SLC68), enabling a hardware-compatible upgrade path to higher macrocell densities. Engineers maintaining legacy MAX 5000 designs can prototype the same PCB with a MAX 7000S device for higher logic capacity, lower power, and JTAG in-system programmability. The migration requires recompiling the design in MAX+PLUS II for the new target device.
Recommended
Industrial Process Control Logic
The EPM5192JC68 supports industrial process control applications including PLC I/O expansion, sensor signal conditioning control, and motor-drive interface logic. Its non-volatile EPROM configuration ensures deterministic behavior at power-up without external boot memory, while the 192 macrocells handle complex Boolean equations for safety interlocks and control sequences. The commercial 0C to 70C temperature range covers factory-floor environments; extended-temperature variants like the EPM5192GM serve harsher installations.
Recommended
Telecom Backplane Glue Logic
The EPM5192JC68 has been widely deployed in telecom backplane applications for protocol conversion, framing, and line-card interface logic. Its high I/O count (76 user I/Os) and 192 macrocells allow it to bridge multiple buses and serialize/deserialize control signals across backplane connectors. The deterministic pin-to-pin delays ensure reliable timing margin across long backplane runs. Legacy telecom infrastructure continues to use this part for proven reliability and long-term availability.
Recommended
Aerospace & Defense Legacy Support
The EPM5192JC68 supports long-lifecycle aerospace and defense programs where design re-validation costs are prohibitive. Military-temperature (-55C to +125C) variants like the EPM5192GM are specified for avionics and weapons-system electronics that have decades-long service requirements. The MAX 5000 family's proven reliability and Altera's long-term support make the EPM5192JC68 a known-good part for legacy defense electronics, even as commercial designs migrate to newer CPLD families.

Key Differentiators

- Commercial-grade in 68-pin J-Lead PLCC (vs EPM5192GM)
- Established long-lifecycle support (vs MAX V CPLDs)
Design Notes
The EPM5192JC68 requires a clean +5V supply with proper decoupling. Place a 0.1uF ceramic bypass capacitor as close as possible to each VCC/GND pair on the PLCC-68 package, plus a 10uF tantalum bulk capacitor at the device supply pin. The UV-EPROM configuration draws inrush current during programming; the supply must source at least 200 mA peak during programming cycles.
Use a standard 68-pin PLCC socket (e.g., 3M Textool or equivalent) for prototyping and field replacement. Maintain at least 0.1 inch spacing between PLCC sockets for easy insertion/extraction. For production, the J-Lead PLCC can be soldered directly to the PCB using standard surface-mount reflow profiles; verify the pad geometry matches JEDEC PLCC-68 land pattern guidelines.
Do not exceed the maximum I/O sink/source current per pin (typically 25 mA DC). Avoid hot-plugging the EPM5192JC68 into a live bus, since the UV-EPROM configuration is undefined until the device is properly programmed and powered up. Always erase and reprogram a reused part before reuse - UV-EPROM windows must be covered after erasure to prevent data corruption from ambient light.
Route dedicated clock inputs (CLK1-CLK4) with controlled impedance and short traces to minimize skew. Place ground fills under the PLCC-68 footprint to reduce EMI; the 5 GND pins distributed around the package should each be connected to a low-impedance ground plane. Keep high-speed I/O traces short and away from analog sections when mixing with analog circuitry on the same board.
Compliance Information
EPM5192JC68 is a legacy Altera MAX 5000 device. RoHS/REACH compliance not confirmed in current distributor listings - [DATA_NEEDED: official compliance certificate]. Not AEC-Q100 qualified; for automotive applications use AEC-Q100-qualified MAX II or MAX V CPLDs.
