Typical Applications
EPM7096QC100-7 is suitable for 6 applications: Legacy 5V Glue Logic Replacement, ISA/PCI Bus Address Decoder, Industrial PLC I/O Expansion, Test and Measurement Instrumentation, Military and Avionics Legacy Systems, Communication Protocol Bridge.
Legacy 5V Glue Logic Replacement
The EPM7096QC100-7 fits legacy 5 V glue-logic replacement because its 96 macrocells, 76 I/Os, and 7.5 ns tPD provide deterministic timing for board-level address decoding, chip-select generation, and interrupt steering in industrial PCs and embedded controllers. Unlike SRAM-based FPGAs that require an external boot PROM, the EEPROM fabric instantiates the design at power-on, eliminating boot latency. Placed between a microprocessor and peripheral bus, the part replaces dozens of discrete 74HC/74FCT logic gates, reducing board area by 60-80% while improving timing closure through centralized place-and-route control. The 5 V-tolerant I/Os interface directly to TTL logic families without level shifters, simplifying mixed-voltage designs.
Recommended
ISA/PCI Bus Address Decoder
The EPM7096QC100-7 is ideal for ISA and PCI bus address decoding applications because its 7.5 ns tPD and 125 MHz fMAX meet the PCI 33 MHz clock cycle budget with comfortable timing margin. With 76 user I/Os the part can decode up to 24 address lines plus control signals in a single device, replacing an entire bank of 74LS688/74FCT138 comparators. Designers use the macrocell flip-flops to latch address-phase signals and the AND/OR plane to implement multi-condition chip-select equations. The JTAG interface allows in-system reprogramming of the address map for board revisions without desoldering, a major advantage during OEM platform development.
Recommended
Industrial PLC I/O Expansion
The EPM7096QC100-7 supports industrial PLC I/O expansion by providing 5 V-tolerant I/Os, 96 macrocells for input debouncing and output sequencing logic, and 7.5 ns propagation delay for fast interrupt response. The 0C to +70C commercial temperature range covers indoor cabinet environments, while the EPM7096QI100-7 industrial variant extends coverage to -40C to +85C. The EEPROM fabric stores configuration permanently through power cycles, ensuring PLC behavior on cold start matches design intent. Engineers commonly use the device to multiplex encoder inputs, generate PWM timing for stepper motor control, and provide safety interlocks in machine-tool controllers.
Recommended
Test and Measurement Instrumentation
The EPM7096QC100-7 fits test and measurement instrumentation because its deterministic 7.5 ns tPD enables precise timing generation for pulse-pattern generators, frequency counters, and logic analyzers. With 96 macrocells the part can implement multi-channel timing sequencers, custom waveform decoders, and IEEE-488 bus state machines in a single chip. The JTAG programming chain supports in-system firmware updates during instrument calibration, and the 5 V I/Os interface directly to legacy analog front-end circuits without level translation. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration eliminates boot-time artifacts critical to repeatable measurement accuracy.
Recommended
Military and Avionics Legacy Systems
The EPM7096QC100-7 remains in long-life military and avionics programs because its 5 V supply and PQFP-100 footprint are qualified in legacy hardware baselines. The EEPROM fabric survives high-radiation and thermal-cycling environments typical of avionics bays better than SRAM-based FPGAs. With 96 macrocells the device implements ARINC 429 bus interfaces, MIL-STD-1553 transceivers' glue logic, and redundant control signal routing. The deterministic 7.5 ns tPD supports hard real-time scheduling required by flight-control algorithms. Engineers often specify this part as a Last Time Buy stock-up before transitioning to radiation-hardened FPGAs.
Recommended
Communication Protocol Bridge
The EPM7096QC100-7 serves as a communication protocol bridge by implementing UART, SPI, I2C, and parallel bus converters in a single device. With 96 macrocells and 76 I/Os, the part can host multiple protocol converters simultaneously, such as SPI-to-UART and I2C-to-parallel bridges on the same silicon. The 7.5 ns tPD provides sufficient speed for SPI masters at 10 MHz and I2C at 400 kHz Fast Mode. The JTAG interface simplifies field updates when adding new protocol stacks, and the 5 V I/Os interface to legacy RS-232/RS-485 transceivers without external level shifters. The non-volatile EEPROM ensures immediate availability after power-up, critical for headless communication gateways.

Key Differentiators
- Mid-speed 7.5 ns grade at typical 5 V CPLD price (vs EPM7096QC100-10)
- Industry-standard MAX 7000 EEPROM fabric (vs MAX II EPM570)
- Single 5 V supply simplifies legacy design (vs Xilinx XC9500XL series)
Design Notes
The EPM7096QC100-7 requires a regulated 5 V supply within 4.75-5.25 V per the MAX 7000 datasheet. Place 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling capacitors as close as possible to every VCC pin (typically 5-8 distributed around the PQFP-100 package). Add a bulk 10-47 uF tantalum or electrolytic capacitor near the device to handle switching transients when multiple outputs toggle simultaneously. The EEPROM fabric draws low standby current (typically <50 mA) but I/O switching can increase ICC by 5-10 mA per MHz of activity; use power-supply decoupling sized for the worst-case switching pattern of your design.
For 100-PQFP package layout, allocate at least 4 routing layers to break out the 0.65 mm pitch pins. Use 0.15 mm trace width with 0.15 mm clearance and 0.20 mm via pad to maintain manufacturability. Place the JTAG header (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) within 50 mm of the device to avoid signal integrity issues during in-system programming. Keep the GCLK1-3 and GCLRn traces short and well-shielded; these global signals feed all LABs and excessive skew can cause setup/hold violations in registered logic.
Do not confuse the EPM7096QC100-7 (commercial 0C to +70C, 7.5 ns) with the EPM7096QI100-7 (industrial -40C to +85C) - they share the same pinout but are qualified for different temperature ranges. Also avoid mixing MAX 7000 (5 V) with MAX II/MAX V (3.3 V or 1.8 V core) devices on the same board without level translation. Always verify timing with the Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II timing analyzer after compilation, since macrocell-to-pin delays depend on the actual logic mapping and may not match the headline 7.5 ns tPD specification.
The EPM7096QC100-7 outputs can drive 25 mA sink/source per pin in legacy mode, but fast edge rates (1-2 ns) combined with 5 V swing produce significant EMI on long PCB traces. Series-terminate outputs driving traces longer than 50 mm with 33-ohm resistors to dampen ringing. For clock distribution, use GCLK1-3 dedicated inputs which feed all macrocell flip-flops with controlled skew, rather than routing clocks through user I/O pins. Always enable slew-rate control in the design tool for non-critical-speed outputs to reduce EMI by 50-70%.
Compliance Information
Compliance status not explicitly stated in the provided distributor data. The PQFP-100 package is typically SnPb or lead-free depending on date code - request manufacturer datasheet for specific compliance claims. AEC-Q100 is not applicable for legacy 5 V CPLDs - this family targets industrial/commercial applications rather than automotive.
