Typical Applications

EPM7128SQC100-6 is suitable for 6 applications: PCI/Local-Bus Interface Bridge, 5V Industrial Glue Logic, JTAG-Controlled Scan and Boundary Test, Address Decoding and Interrupt Management, Legacy 74-Series Logic Consolidation, Telecom Backplane Control Logic.

🖥️

PCI/Local-Bus Interface Bridge

The EPM7128SQC100-6's 6 ns tPD and 84 user I/Os make it a strong fit for PCI and local-bus interface bridging in legacy 5V motherboards and add-in cards. With 128 macrocells the device can hold bus-arbitration state machines, address decoders, and interrupt controllers in a single non-volatile CPLD. Its instant-on EEPROM configuration avoids the boot-time latency of SRAM-based FPGAs, which is critical for BIOS/POST logic that must be live at power-up. Used between the host chipset and peripheral slots, it reduces discrete 74LS glue-logic into a single re-programmable device that can be JTAG-upgraded in the field.

🏭

5V Industrial Glue Logic

The EPM7128SQC100-6 directly replaces racks of 74LS/74HC discrete glue logic in 5V industrial control systems. Its 5V CMOS EEPROM process and MultiVolt I/O make it tolerant of 3.3V peripherals without level shifters, while 128 macrocells consolidate decoders, muxes, and sequencers into a single device. The 100-pin PQFP package provides enough I/O for 16-bit or 32-bit bus aggregation. Compared to a discrete-logic implementation, the CPLD reduces PCB area, eliminates propagation skew between gates, and allows last-minute logic changes via JTAG without board respins.

🔧

JTAG-Controlled Scan and Boundary Test

The EPM7128SQC100-6's native IEEE 1149.1 JTAG port enables it to act as both a logic device and a JTAG controller/scan bridge in test fixtures and production ATE racks. Designers can daisy-chain multiple devices, implement custom JTAG instructions, and re-route test access without external multiplexer ICs. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration means the scan topology is live at power-up with no FPGA bitstream load delay. The 6 ns tPD ensures scan-clock and scan-data signals meet production-tester timing windows, while 84 user I/Os give plenty of test points for boundary-scan coverage.

🧩

Address Decoding and Interrupt Management

In embedded motherboards the EPM7128SQC100-6 consolidates address decoding, chip-select generation, and interrupt priority management into a single deterministic device. With 6 ns pin-to-pin delay it meets ISA and similar legacy bus timing without wait states, and the 128 macrocells hold complete decode trees for memory and peripheral maps. Non-volatile configuration means the decode map is correct from the first clock cycle, eliminating the boot-time holes of SRAM FPGAs. The 100-pin PQFP package provides 84 I/Os for chip-select fan-out to multiple peripherals.

Legacy 74-Series Logic Consolidation

Designers migrating racks of 74LS245, 74LS138, 74LS574, and similar glue-logic ICs onto a single programmable device commonly target the EPM7128SQC100-6 because it provides 128 macrocells and 84 I/Os in the same 5V electrical envelope. The 6 ns tPD matches or exceeds the propagation delay of the original discrete gates, while EEPROM non-volatility preserves the design even through power cycles. Compared to a discrete implementation, the CPLD reduces BOM count, simplifies PCB layout, and lets engineers re-route logic via JTAG without board re-spin.

🌐

Telecom Backplane Control Logic

The EPM7128SQC100-6 is widely used in 5V telecom backplanes for control-plane glue logic between line-card ASICs, framer ICs, and supervisory processors. Its 5V tolerance and MultiVolt I/O let it bridge legacy 5V ASICs with newer 3.3V logic, while 84 I/Os accommodate backplane signal fan-out. With 6 ns tPD the device meets common telecom control-bus timing margins without introducing wait states. Non-volatile EEPROM and JTAG ISP allow field firmware updates and in-service reprogramming on live backplanes.

What is the propagation delay of the EPM7128SQC100-6?
The EPM7128SQC100-6 has a maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay (tPD) of 6 ns, as indicated by the -6 speed-grade suffix in the part number. According to the MAX 7000S datasheet, this device delivers deterministic timing suitable for asynchronous glue logic and bus-interface replacement. Its internal counter frequency is specified at 147.1 MHz, while DigChip lists an internal reference frequency of 250 MHz for the family.
How many user I/O pins does the EPM7128SQC100-6 provide?
The EPM7128SQC100-6 provides 84 user I/O pins distributed across its 100-pin PQFP package, with the remaining pins allocated to power, ground, JTAG, and dedicated configuration pins. The MAX 7000S I/O architecture is 5V-tolerant and supports MultiVolt interfacing to 3.3V and 5V logic, so designers can mix voltage domains on the same device without external level shifters.
What CPLD family does the EPM7128SQC100-6 belong to?
The EPM7128SQC100-6 belongs to the Altera/Intel MAX 7000S family of 5V CMOS EEPROM-based CPLDs. The MAX 7000S series sits in the classic programmable logic hierarchy: PLD > CPLD > FPGA > programmable logic > semiconductor. The MAX 7000S family is non-volatile, instant-on, and offers in-system programmability via JTAG, distinguishing it from SRAM-based FPGAs that require external boot memory.

What is the difference between EPM7128SQC100-6 and EPM7128SQC100-10?
The EPM7128SQC100-6 and EPM7128SQC100-10 share the same 128-macrocell MAX 7000S die and the same 100-pin PQFP package, differing only in speed grade. The -6 speed grade delivers 6 ns pin-to-pin delay, while the -10 is slower at 10 ns tPD. Both are 5V parts and share identical pinouts, so the -10 is a drop-in lower-cost substitute when 6 ns timing is not required.
What is the difference between EPM7128SQC100-6 and EPM7128SQC100-15?
The EPM7128SQC100-6 is the -6 speed grade of the MAX 7000S family with 6 ns tPD and 147.1 MHz internal frequency, while the EPM7128SQC100-15 is the -15 speed grade with 15 ns tPD. Both devices use the identical 100-pin PQFP (SQC) package and 128-macrocell die, so the -15 is a fully pin-compatible drop-in replacement when slightly slower timing is acceptable in exchange for lower unit cost.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the EPM7128SQC100-6?
The best drop-in replacement for the EPM7128SQC100-6 is the EPM7128SQC100-7, which uses the same 128-macrocell MAX 7000S die and the same 100-pin PQFP package, with a 7 ns propagation delay that is within 1 ns of the original 6 ns. Other pin-compatible drop-ins on the same footprint include EPM7128SQC100-10, EPM7128SQC100-10N, EPM7128SQC100-10F, and EPM7128SQC100-15, all sharing the SQC100 100-pin PQFP land pattern.
When should I choose the EPM7128SQC100-6 over the -7 or -10 speed grade?
Choose the EPM7128SQC100-6 over the -7 or -10 when your design requires the fastest available propagation delay in the MAX 7000S family at 5V. The -6 delivers 6 ns tPD and 147.1 MHz internal frequency, whereas the -7 gives 7 ns tPD and the -10 gives 10 ns tPD. If your timing margin tolerates 1-4 ns of additional delay, the -7 and -10 are typically available at lower unit cost.
Is the EPM7128SQC100-6 suitable for 5V industrial systems?
Yes, the EPM7128SQC100-6 is purpose-built for 5V industrial and telecom systems. It is fabricated on a 5V CMOS EEPROM process with MultiVolt I/O support for 3.3V and 5V mixed-voltage interfacing. Unlike 3.3V-only FPGAs that require level shifters in legacy 5V designs, the EPM7128SQC100-6 directly interfaces to 5V TTL/CMOS logic, simplifying board design in industrial automation and telecom platforms.
Where can I download the EPM7128SQC100-6 datasheet PDF?
The EPM7128SQC100-6 datasheet PDF is available from the Intel (formerly Altera) MAX 7000 device family page at intel.com/programmable/products/cpld/max7000/overview.html, from datasheets.com mirrors, and from distributor pages such as DigiKey (763906) and Mouser. The datasheet covers electrical characteristics, JTAG programming, AC timing, and the 100-pin PQFP pinout for the MAX 7000S family.
Where can I find the EPM7128SQC100-6 pinout?
The EPM7128SQC100-6 pinout for the 100-pin PQFP (SQC) package is documented in the MAX 7000S family datasheet. Pin assignments include the JTAG chain (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO), dedicated inputs (INPUT/GCLK, INPUT/OE), 84 user I/O pins labeled IO0-IO83, multiple VCC (5V) and GND pins, and a thermal pad area underneath the package. Distributor listings on DigiKey, Mouser, and Arrow also reference the same pinout.
What are the key specifications of EPM7128SQC100-6 that engineers should know?
Engineers evaluating the EPM7128SQC100-6 should focus on: 128 macrocells, 2,500 usable gates, 84 user I/Os in a 100-pin PQFP, 6 ns pin-to-pin tPD, 147.1 MHz internal frequency, 5V VCC with MultiVolt I/O, non-volatile EEPROM configuration, JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) in-system programmability, and commercial 0C to +70C operating temperature. These parameters position the part as a deterministic glue-logic CPLD for 5V industrial and embedded designs.
What is the best cross-brand equivalent for the EPM7128SQC100-6?
The EPM7128SQC100-6 is an Intel/Altera MAX 7000S family part, and there is no true pin-compatible cross-brand drop-in in a 100-pin PQFP from another manufacturer. Cross-brand alternatives such as Xilinx XC9500XL CPLDs differ in pinout and JTAG chain, so they require PCB redesign. The most practical substitute strategy is to use same-brand Intel/Altera speed-grade variants (EPM7128SQC100-7, -10, -10N, -10F, -15) that share the identical 100-pin PQFP footprint and JTAG programming chain.

Selection Guide

Choose the EPM7128SQC100-6 when your design needs the fastest 5V MAX 7000S speed grade in a 100-pin PQFP package - particularly for PCI bus bridges, ISA-bus address decoders, and JTAG controllers where 6 ns tPD meets tight bus timing without wait states. Step down to the EPM7128SQC100-7 if you can tolerate 1 ns extra delay for a slight cost reduction, or to the EPM7128SQC100-10 / -10N / -10F when 4 ns additional tPD is acceptable and you want Pb-free compliance (N/F suffix variants). Choose the EPM7128SQC100-15 only for the most cost-sensitive, lowest-speed glue logic. All five devices share the identical 100-pin PQFP footprint and JTAG programming chain, so PCB layout and toolchain are interchangeable across the family.

Key Differentiators

  • Fastest speed grade in the MAX 7000S 100-pin PQFP family (vs EPM7128SQC100-7)
  • Same die and footprint as slower speed-grade variants (vs EPM7128SQC100-10)
  • RoHS/Pb-free alternatives available on the same footprint (vs EPM7128SQC100-10N / EPM7128SQC100-10F)

Design Notes

The EPM7128SQC100-6 operates from a single 5V VCC rail with MultiVolt I/O support. Decouple every VCC pin with a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the package, and add a bulk 10-47 uF tantalum or aluminum capacitor near the device. The 100-pin PQFP has multiple VCC and GND pins distributed around the package - connect all of them. Avoid routing high-speed switching signals (clocks, JTAG TCK) across VCC split planes to prevent power-plane noise coupling into the analog-style I/O cells.

Estimated: at 5V VCC and full 147.1 MHz operation across all 84 I/Os, the device consumes up to approximately 300-400 mW. The PQFP-100 package has a theta_JA around 50-60 C/W on a standard JEDEC test board, so junction temperature rise above ambient is roughly 15-25C. For sealed industrial enclosures without airflow, derate clock frequency or I/O toggling rate to keep junction below 125C. Provide copper area under and around the package to spread heat, and consider thermal vias to inner plane layers.

Use a 4-layer PCB with continuous ground plane beneath the PQFP-100 footprint to control impedance on JTAG and clock traces. Keep JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) short (<= 5 cm), series-terminated with 33 ohm resistors if TCK exceeds 10 MHz, and guarded by ground traces. Reserve a 4-pin JTAG header or boundary-scan connector footprint on every board that uses the EPM7128SQC100-6, even if you do not plan to use ISP immediately - it saves rework time when field updates are needed.

Do not confuse the EPM7128SQC100-6 with the MAX 7000A or MAX 3000A variants, which are 3.3V parts with different pinouts and JTAG chains. Always check the part marking for the 'S' suffix denoting the 5V MAX 7000S family and the -6 speed-grade suffix. Programming tools must target the MAX 7000S device ID in Quartus or MAX+PLUS II - selecting the wrong family will fail ID verification. Avoid mixing the SQC package with the PLCC-84 (SLC84) footprint, which is electrically similar but pin-incompatible at the board level.
