Typical Applications
EPM7192EGC160-12 is suitable for 6 applications: Industrial Glue Logic and Bus Interface, PCI Bus Interface and Address Decoding, Legacy Embedded Control and Motor Drive I/O Expansion, Telecom Backplane Control and TDM Switching, ASIC Prototyping and Design Verification, Legacy Avionics and Defense Bus Interfaces.
Industrial Glue Logic and Bus Interface
The EPM7192EGC160-12 fits industrial glue-logic and bus-interface designs because its 192 macrocells provide enough logic capacity for address decoding, chip-select generation, and bus protocol conversion across multi-board 5V backplanes. The 12 ns tPD delivers deterministic timing for ISA, VME, and PC/104-style interfaces, while the JTAG ISP interface enables in-system updates without removing the board. The 160-pin PGA socket footprint is well-suited to legacy through-hole backplanes that require socketed CPLDs for field serviceability. Designers typically pair it with bus transceivers to bridge between 5 V and 3.3 V logic domains on hybrid boards.
Recommended
PCI Bus Interface and Address Decoding
The EPM7192EGC160-12 is widely used as a PCI bus interface device because the MAX 7000 family supports PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2 timing in the -10, -7, -6, -5, and -4 speed grades, and the -12 grade supports PCI for designs that do not require 33 MHz. The 124 user I/Os accommodate the full 32-bit PCI address/data bus plus control signals (FRAME#, IRDY#, TRDY#, DEVSEL#), and the 12 ns tPD satisfies PCI setup/hold requirements at lower bus frequencies. Designers use it to implement address decoding, parity generation, and bus arbitration for custom PCI add-in cards.
Recommended
Legacy Embedded Control and Motor Drive I/O Expansion
The EPM7192EGC160-12 serves as a deterministic, instantly-on I/O expander and state-machine controller in legacy embedded motor-control designs. Its non-volatile EEPROM configuration means the CPLD is operational within nanoseconds of power-up, which is critical for safety-critical motor-drive systems that cannot tolerate the FPGA configuration delay. The 192 macrocells handle PWM timing, quadrature decoding, and fault-handling state machines, while the 124 I/Os drive encoder inputs, gate-driver enables, and current-sense comparators. The 160-pin ceramic PGA package is rated for industrial temperature ranges typical of motor-drive environments.
Recommended
Telecom Backplane Control and TDM Switching
The EPM7192EGC160-12 functions as a backplane controller in telecom TDM (time-division multiplexing) systems, where it performs per-slot address decoding, interrupt aggregation, and clock-distribution fan-out across multi-shelf chassis. The deterministic 12 ns propagation delay is essential for maintaining bit-aligned TDM frame boundaries, and the JTAG ISP chain allows in-service firmware updates on populated backplanes. The 124 I/Os span the backplane connector pin budget for typical T1/E1 and H.110 CT-bus interfaces. Designers often combine multiple EPM7192EGC160-12 devices, one per slot, with shared JTAG daisy-chaining.
Recommended
ASIC Prototyping and Design Verification
The EPM7192EGC160-12 is frequently used to emulate and prototype custom ASIC designs because its deterministic timing allows engineers to validate RTL behavior in real-time hardware before committing to mask costs. The 192-macrocell capacity is sufficient for moderate-complexity glue ASICs (bus controllers, peripheral bridges, custom state machines), and the JTAG ISP interface lets designers iterate on the prototype within minutes. The socketed 160-pin PGA package allows rapid board swap-out between prototype revisions. The 5.0 V core matches typical ASIC target supply rails, simplifying I/O voltage translation.
Recommended
Legacy Avionics and Defense Bus Interfaces
The EPM7192EGC160-12 is deployed in legacy avionics and defense electronics where MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, and custom backplane interfaces require deterministic, non-volatile programmable logic. The ceramic PGA package provides the mechanical robustness and hermeticity required for avionics environments, while the 5.0 V core matches legacy defense supply rails. The 192 macrocells and 124 I/Os accommodate full bus-protocol transcoding between MIL-STD-1553 transceivers and onboard processors. Designers value the JTAG boundary-scan for board-test fault isolation during depot-level maintenance.

Key Differentiators
- Highest macrocell count available in the MAX 7000E 160-pin PGA family (vs EPM7160EQC160-12 (160 macrocells))
- Faster 12 ns tPD speed grade over the 15 ns baseline (vs EPM7192EGC160-15 (15 ns tPD))
- Same 160-BPGA footprint as the larger MAX 7256 die (vs EPM7256EGC160-12 (256 macrocells))
Design Notes
Estimated: at 76.9 MHz toggle rate with 124 I/Os switching simultaneously, the EPM7192EGC160-12 may draw up to 500 mA from the 5.0 V supply. Place one 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling capacitor adjacent to every VCC / GND pin pair (the PGA package has VCC pins interleaved with I/O and GND pins across all four sides). Add four bulk 47 uF to 100 uF tantalum or aluminum capacitors near the package perimeter to support simultaneous switching output (SSO) transients. Designers using Quartus II power analyzer should confirm ICC against the manufacturer's ICC vs frequency curves before committing to a power budget.
The 160-pin ceramic PGA (39.6 x 39.6 mm) requires a socket or through-hole land pattern with plated-through holes on a 2.54 mm pitch grid. Use a machined-pin PGA socket (e.g. 3M Textool or similar) for prototypes and low-volume production to allow device swap-out during board bring-up. For high-volume production, hand-soldering or pin-in-paste reflow is possible but not recommended for first-time builds. Provide a 0.1-inch keep-out zone around the PGA perimeter to accommodate the socket body and allow access to the orientation marker for pin-1 identification.
Do NOT confuse the EPM7192EGC160-12 (160-pin ceramic PGA, through-hole) with the EPM7192SQC160-12 (160-pin PQFP, surface-mount) - they share the die but use incompatible footprints. Also note the -12 speed grade does not officially support 33 MHz PCI in the -4 to -10 grade list; for 33 MHz PCI designs, choose the EPM7192EGC160-10 (10 ns) or faster. Always program the device using JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) - the legacy Altera ByteBlaster parallel port programmer is obsolete and not supported on modern PCs.
Although the MAX 7000 architecture is non-volatile and 5V tolerant, the 124 I/Os can generate significant simultaneous switching noise on the 5V rail. Estimated: 124 outputs switching at 76.9 MHz with 25 pF loads produce a peak SSO current of approximately 480 mA. Use wide power planes (not traces) for VCCINT distribution, keep I/O traces short, and add 33 ohm series-termination resistors near the CPLD pins for high-speed outputs that drive long backplane traces. Place at least one 0.1 uF capacitor within 5 mm of every VCC pin to control local supply transients.
Estimated: at full I/O toggle (124 outputs at 76.9 MHz, 5.0 V) the EPM7192EGC160-12 ceramic PGA package dissipates approximately 2.5 W worst-case. The ceramic PGA has excellent thermal conductivity through its pin grid to the socket and PCB, but designers in enclosed / convection-limited enclosures should still verify junction temperature using the manufacturer theta_JA value. The commercial operating range is 0 C to 90 C - for industrial temperature grades, look for the EPM7192EGI160-12 variant (note the 'I' suffix in the order code).
Compliance Information
RoHS / REACH / lead-free status not stated in the provided web data. The ceramic PGA package historically used lead-bearing solder for hermeticity - check for an 'N' suffix variant or contact Intel PSG for RoHS-bonded alternatives. AEC-Q100 is not applicable for a commercial-grade programmable logic device.
