Typical Applications

EPM5192LC is suitable for 6 applications: Legacy 5V Glue Logic Replacement, Industrial Control State Machines, Microprocessor Bus Address Decoding, Bus-Interface Adapter Between Logic Domains, Legacy Pin-Compatible Upgrades (28-192 macrocells), Mil-Aero Long-Lifecycle Embedded Logic.

🔧

Legacy 5V Glue Logic Replacement

The EPM5192LC is a strong fit for replacing multiple discrete 5V TTL/CMOS glue-logic ICs - address decoders, bus arbiters, and interrupt controllers - because its 192 macrocells can absorb 20 to 50 small PAL/GAL-equivalent functions on a single 5V device. Its non-volatile EPROM configuration means the board is active at power-up with no boot PROM, unlike SRAM-based FPGAs that need an external configuration memory. The 64 user I/O pins give generous headroom for 8/16-bit microprocessor bus interfaces, and the 55 ns tPD keeps decoding well within one 25 MHz memory cycle. Designers should budget macrocell product-terms (5 per macrocell natively, expandable via parallel expanders) when consolidating wide AND-OR decoders.

🏭

Industrial Control State Machines

The EPM5192LC is well-suited to industrial control state machines because its deterministic PIA routing gives fixed worst-case delays regardless of placement, simplifying timing closure for safety-critical control loops. With 192 macrocells the device can hold a 20-30 state FSM plus encoder, watchdog, and diagnostic logic in one IC, and the 5V tolerance matches legacy PLC backplanes and 24V-isolated sensor interfaces. The -40C to +85C industrial variants (EPM5192GM/883B screened parts) extend operation to harsher environments. The MAX+PLUS II or Quartus design flow supports state-machine entry with Verilog/VHDL, and JTAG boundary-scan allows in-system test access for cabinet-level diagnostics.

🖥️

Microprocessor Bus Address Decoding

For 16- and 32-bit microprocessor address decoding, the EPM5192LC's 192 macrocells can implement chip-select logic for 8-16 memory or peripheral banks plus wait-state generators, all on a single 5V device. The 64 I/O pins comfortably handle 24-bit address plus 8-bit data bus plus control signals, and the 55 ns typical tPD fits comfortably below one 25 MHz 68000- or 8086-class memory cycle. The JTAG port doubles as an in-system programming path and a boundary-scan test resource, useful when validating board-level interconnect. Designers should use the dedicated global clock and global CLR/OE pins to keep critical control signals jitter-free across all LABs.

🌐

Bus-Interface Adapter Between Logic Domains

The EPM5192LC fits bus-interface adapter roles between asynchronous 5V logic domains because it offers independently configurable I/O pins and per-macrocell flip-flop clock selection, allowing two clocks to coexist in one device. With 192 macrocells it can implement a full 16-bit to 32-bit bridge with FIFOs implemented in distributed RAM (via macrocell feedback) and handshaking logic. The 5V-tolerant I/Os match TTL/CMOS peripherals, and JTAG enables in-system observability for protocol debug. The trade-off versus a modern FPGA is density: designs exceeding ~192 macrocells should migrate to MAX 7000S higher-density members or MAX II devices.

📺

Legacy Pin-Compatible Upgrades (28-192 macrocells)

The EPM5192LC is the natural drop-in upgrade path for older MAX 7000S designs built around 28-, 64-, 96-, or 128-macrocell parts, because it shares the same MAX 7000S architecture, JTAG flow, and 5V supply. Designers can recompile their MAX+PLUS II or Quartus project against the EPM5192LC device library and obtain a bitstream that loads into the larger device with no PCB changes. The 64 user I/O pins provide generous margin for additional logic, and the 192-macrocell capacity absorbs growth as product features evolve. The LC suffix denotes a windowed ceramic package for prototyping and reprogramming cycles.

✈️

Mil-Aero Long-Lifecycle Embedded Logic

The EPM5192LC is well-suited to mil-aero embedded-logic applications because its UV-erasable ceramic package supports multiple design revisions, and the MAX 7000S architecture has decades of flight heritage. Programs that require long-term availability benefit from the existing inventory ecosystem of independent distributors, and the MIL-STD-883 variants (EPM5192GM/883B family) provide the temperature and screening headroom needed for defense and aerospace. The 5V supply rails match legacy avionics buses, and the deterministic CPLD timing simplifies worst-case timing analysis for safety-critical functions. Where smaller logic capacity is acceptable, the EPM5064 and EPM5032 LC variants extend the same architectural benefits to lower-density designs.

What is the EPM5192LC?
The EPM5192LC is an Altera MAX 7000S-series CMOS Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) with 192 macrocells, 64 user I/O pins, and 7 dedicated inputs, supplied in a windowed ceramic JLCC-68 package. According to the original Altera MAX 5000 family datasheet, it operates from a single 5V supply and stores its configuration in on-chip EPROM cells, making it non-volatile and immediately active at power-up.
What is the propagation delay of the EPM5192LC?
The EPM5192LC has a typical pin-to-pin propagation delay (tPD) of 55 ns at 5V over the commercial temperature range. This figure is for the LC speed grade; the faster -1 and military/883 variants of the same die deliver shorter tPD and higher fMAX, allowing designers to upscreen without changing the PCB footprint.
What is the maximum clock frequency of the EPM5192LC?
The EPM5192LC supports a maximum global clock frequency (fMAX) of 50 MHz. Designers targeting faster synchronous designs should evaluate the EPM5192LC-1 speed grade or migrate to the higher-density MAX 7000S members such as the EPM5192GC family.
What supply voltage does the EPM5192LC require?
The EPM5192LC operates from a single 4.75V to 5.25V supply with a nominal 5V rail. The device is not 3.3V tolerant on its I/O; any 3.3V logic interface requires a level translator. Designers moving to lower-voltage logic should consider the MAX 7000AE or MAX II families instead.
How many user I/O pins and macrocells does the EPM5192LC have?
The EPM5192LC provides 192 macrocells arranged as 16 per LAB across 12 Logic Array Blocks, with 64 user I/O pins and 7 dedicated inputs. The shared input/clock architecture lets every I/O pin serve as an additional clock, clear, or output-enable resource, easing pin-constrained designs.
Is the EPM5192LC still in production?
The EPM5192LC is classified as obsolete; Altera (now part of Intel) discontinued many legacy MAX 7000S ceramic-windowed JLCC variants as the market migrated to surface-mount plastic packages and modern FPGA/CPLD families. Authorized distributor stock is limited, with the bulk of supply now coming from independent distributors such as IC-Components, Microchip USA, Jotrin, and Censtry.
Where can I buy the EPM5192LC today?
The EPM5192LC is currently available through independent distributors - including IC-Components, Microchip USA, Jotrin, Censtry, and altera-price.com - typically with traceable warranty paperwork. Pricing as of 2026-09-12 starts around USD 48.50 at qty 1 and decreases to roughly USD 28.40 at qty 1000; lead time is generally 4-8 weeks because authorized-factory stock is no longer produced.
What is the typical lead time for the EPM5192LC?
Independent distributors quote lead times of 4-8 weeks for the EPM5192LC, with stock levels fluctuating because the part is obsolete and no longer factory-fresh from Altera/Intel. For long production runs, sourcing several thousand pieces through brokers carries allocation risk; consider the pin-compatible EPM5192GM or EPM5192GC plastic-package variants as a more sustainable alternative.
Where can I download the EPM5192LC datasheet PDF?
The 52-page MAX 5000 family datasheet covering the EPM5192 (and by extension the EPM5192LC variant) is hosted on Alldatasheet at https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/122504/ALTERA/EPM5192.html. Designers should also consult the original Altera MAX 7000S datasheet and the MAX+PLUS II / Quartus programming documentation for full timing and pinout details.
What is the pinout of the EPM5192LC?
The EPM5192LC is supplied in a 68-pin JLCC package whose pinout is defined in the MAX 7000S datasheet. The package includes 64 user I/O pins plus VCC, GND, JTAG (TDI/TDO/TMS/TCK), dedicated input, global CLR, global OE, and the global clock pins. Refer to the official Altera datasheet or the XAIPART JLCC-68 pin diagram for the exact ball-to-signal mapping.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the EPM5192LC?
The best drop-in replacement is the same-die EPM5192GM (military ceramic) or EPM5192GC (commercial plastic) variant in a pin-compatible footprint. Both share the same 192-macrocell MAX 7000S architecture, 5V supply, and JTAG programming flow, so the existing EPM5192LC PCB and MAX+PLUS II / Quartus project can be reused without rework.
EPM5192LC vs EPM5192GM - which should I choose?
Choose the EPM5192LC if you need a windowed ceramic part for prototyping and reprogramming cycles. Choose the EPM5192GM if you need mil-temp or military-grade screening (it is offered in /883B variants) or if you want a non-windowed ceramic package that still tolerates industrial and defense thermal ranges.
EPM5192LC vs EPM5128LC - which fits a 128-macrocell design?
The EPM5128LC is a lower-density member of the same MAX 7000S family with 128 macrocells; it is the natural pin-compatible step-down from the EPM5192LC when the design fits within 128 macrocells. The 192-macrocell EPM5192LC remains the correct choice when the logic utilization exceeds 128 macrocells or when extra I/O pins are needed.
Hey Google, can the EPM5128JC replace the EPM5192LC?
No - the EPM5128JC is a lower-density 128-macrocell MAX 7000S part in a different package and pinout, so it is not pin-compatible with the EPM5192LC. For a true drop-in upgrade within the same footprint, prefer the EPM5192GM, EPM5192GC, or EPM5192JC family members of the 192-macrocell die.
What are the key specifications of the EPM5192LC that engineers should know?
The EPM5192LC is defined by 192 macrocells, 64 user I/Os, 7 dedicated inputs, 12 LABs, a 55 ns typical tPD, 50 MHz fMAX, and a single 5V (4.75V-5.25V) supply in a JLCC-68 windowed ceramic package. These six numbers - density, I/O count, delay, frequency, supply, and package - fully bound the design envelope and let an engineer instantly decide whether the part fits a given legacy 5V logic replacement.

Selection Guide

Choose the EPM5192LC when you need a windowed-ceramic, reprogrammable 192-macrocell MAX 7000S CPLD for prototyping or low-volume production at 5V, particularly for legacy industrial or mil-aero programs that already have a MAX+PLUS II or Quartus project targeting this die. Choose the EPM5192GM or EPM5192JC for non-windowed volume production, the EPM5192GM/883B for MIL-STD-883B screened defense applications, and the EPM5192JC-1 or EPM5192-1LC for tighter tPD timing budgets. Drop back to the EPM5128LC or EPM5064LC when the design fits within 128 or 64 macrocells and you want a smaller-footprint, lower-cost same-family part.

Key Differentiators

  • Windowed ceramic package for repeated reprogramming (vs EPM5192JC (plastic, OTP))
  • 192 macrocells in the same JLCC-68 footprint (vs EPM5128JC (128 macrocells, 64 I/O))
  • Direct availability of military-screened siblings (vs EPM5192GM/883B (MIL-STD-883B variant))

Design Notes

Estimated: at 5V VCC and 50 MHz fMAX driving 64 CMOS inputs (each ~10uA static + 1mA dynamic), the EPM5192LC draws roughly 200-300 mA ICC. Place one 0.1uF ceramic decoupling capacitor adjacent to every VCC pin (typically 5-6 pins distributed around the JLCC-68 perimeter) and add a single 10uF tantalum or ceramic bulk capacitor within 25 mm of the package. The windowed ceramic LC package dissipates more heat than its plastic JC sibling; provide a continuous ground plane on the top or bottom layer to spread thermal load.

Route JTAG signals (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) with short traces kept clear of fast-edge I/O nets, and place a 10 kohm pull-up on TCK and TMS to keep the boundary-scan state machine in a defined state at power-up. The global clock input (CLK1) and global CLR/OE pins should be treated as critical nets - short, impedance-matched, and routed away from I/O that switches simultaneously. Ground the GND pins with a low-impedance via fan-out to the inner ground plane.

Do not assume the EPM5192LC is 3.3V tolerant: its I/O buffers are 5V CMOS and will be damaged by 3.3V logic signals applied without a level translator. Avoid mixing the EPM5192LC with the pin-compatible but lower-density EPM5128JC on the same PCB footprint without revalidating logic capacity - the bitstream is not portable across different macrocell counts. Finally, when migrating from the windowed LC to the plastic JC variant, confirm the JTAG programming algorithm matches because some early MAX+PLUS II flows required device-specific checksums.

The MAX 7000S PIA gives fixed routing delay independent of placement, simplifying timing closure but also meaning that long combinational paths should be registered before they consume too many LABs. Keep global clock and global OE fan-out to one NET (use the dedicated pin, not an I/O-emulated clock) and configure per-macrocell clock-enable rather than gating the global clock - this avoids skew on the clock distribution network. JTAG-driven output-enable is recommended for in-system test access to all 64 I/O pins.
