Typical Applications
EPM7192SQC160-7N is suitable for 6 applications: Address Decoding for 8/16/32-bit Microprocessor Buses, Glue Logic and Bus Arbitration in Industrial Control, Peripheral Interfacing (PCI, ISA, VME Bridges), Telecom Backplane Glue Logic, State-Machine Controllers for Embedded Systems, Legacy Computing Platform Replacement.
Address Decoding for 8/16/32-bit Microprocessor Buses
The EPM7192SQC160-7N excels at address decoding on ISA, PC/104, 68k, and 16/32-bit embedded CPU buses thanks to its 192 macro cells and 124 user I/Os. Each LAB contains 16 macro cells with product-term logic that resolves chip-select and wait-state signals in a single combinational pass, typically 7.5 ns from input to output. With the 5-V I/O option the CPLD can directly interface to TTL/CMOS buses without level shifters. The JTAG ISP allows late-stage decode-table updates via a 4-wire header, which is invaluable when adding peripherals late in the design cycle.
Recommended
Glue Logic and Bus Arbitration in Industrial Control
In PLC, motor-drive, and SCADA backplanes, the EPM7192SQC160-7N consolidates dozens of 74-series glue-logic ICs into a single non-volatile part. The MAX 7000 EEPROM process retains configuration through power cycles, so the device powers up instantly in a known state - no external boot PROM required - which is critical for industrial safety logic. The 7.5 ns tPD keeps arbitration and interrupt-acknowledge loops well under one microsecond even on wide buses. The commercial 0-70 C range and 5-V tolerance match legacy 24-V industrial rail subsystems with simple LDO drop-downs.
Recommended
Peripheral Interfacing (PCI, ISA, VME Bridges)
The EPM7192SQC160-7N's selectable 3.3 V / 5.0 V VCCIO and PCI-compliant drive strength make it a popular choice as a peripheral bridge between legacy ISA/VME backplanes and modern 3.3-V peripherals. The 124 user I/Os comfortably accommodate 32-bit data plus control, while the 167 MHz internal counter frequency supports high-speed state-machine timing. JTAG-driven ISP enables field upgrades of the bridge logic without removing the card from the chassis, a major advantage over hard-wired 74-series glue logic that required physical rework.
Recommended
Telecom Backplane Glue Logic
Legacy telecom backplanes (TDM, T1/E1, HDLC controllers) require deterministic, low-latency state machines - the EPM7192SQC160-7N delivers fixed 7.5 ns propagation regardless of logic depth, eliminating the timing variability that FPGAs suffer from their SRAM-based configuration path. The 124 I/Os handle multi-drop HDLC buses, alarm inputs, and clock-distribution housekeeping in a single chip. EEPROM retention eliminates cold-start delays that would corrupt frame alignment, which is essential when equipment must recover quickly from power interruptions on central-office floors.
Recommended
State-Machine Controllers for Embedded Systems
The EPM7192SQC160-7N hosts multi-state finite-state machines for motor controllers, scanner subsystems, and instrument front-ends where 192 macro cells provide plenty of headroom for complex sequencers with dozens of states. Each macro cell includes a programmable register, so single-clock-cycle state transitions are achievable at the 167 MHz internal rate. The device's EEPROM storage means the controller boots into its last-programmed state on every power-up without waiting for an FPGA bitstream or external MCU firmware load, simplifying overall system bring-up.
Recommended
Legacy Computing Platform Replacement
For sustaining engineering on VME, Multibus, or PC/104 platforms where the original PAL/GAL devices are long obsolete, the EPM7192SQC160-7N serves as a form-fit-function replacement that consolidates multiple legacy PLDs into one part. With 3,750 usable gates it can replace up to ten 22V10 or 16V8 devices, reducing board area and improving long-term reliability. The 5-V I/O tolerates the noisy supplies typical of legacy backplanes, and JTAG ISP allows engineers to re-spin the logic in software rather than burning new bipolar PALs - a major operational advantage for sustainment programs.

Key Differentiators
- Fastest 7.5 ns speed grade in the MAX 7000S EPM7192 PQFP-160 family (vs EPM7192SQC160-10N)
- Lead-free (Pb-free) terminal finish with full RoHS compliance (vs EPM7192SQC160-7)
- Highest macro-cell count (192) with 124 I/Os in a single MAX 7000S PQFP-160 device (vs EPM7128SQC160-10N)
Design Notes
The EPM7192SQC160-7N requires a stable 5.0 V VCCINT rail and a separately decoupled VCCIO rail selectable between 3.3 V and 5.0 V. Place a 0.1 uF ceramic bypass capacitor adjacent to every VCCINT/VCCIO pin and bulk-decouple each supply island with a 10-47 uF tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic capacitor. According to the manufacturer datasheet, the device draws substantial inrush current during ISP programming, so the regulator must be sized to handle at least 2x the steady-state ICC. Poor decoupling is the most common cause of JTAG programming failures.
The PQFP-160 package has gull-wing leads on a 0.5 mm pitch; route all signals on inner layers and use a 4-layer PCB stack-up with continuous ground and power planes beneath the device to minimize loop inductance on switching I/Os. Keep the JTAG signals (TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO) routed together with a 10K pull-up on TCK as recommended in the manufacturer datasheet to avoid spurious boundary-scan interrupts. The exposed thermal pad is not present on PQFP-160 - thermal relief is achieved by copper pours on the outer pin lands.
Do not confuse the EPM7192SQC160-7N (MAX 7000S, 7.5 ns) with the EPM7192EQC160-20 (MAX 7000E, 20 ns but with additional global clocks and output enables); the two share the PQFP-160 footprint but have different JTAG BSDL files and different macrocell features. Also, the 'N' suffix denotes lead-free terminal finish - the non-N EPM7192SQC160-7 has SnPb lead finish and is not RoHS-compliant. Always revalidate timing when substituting speed grades (-7 vs -10 vs -15) and re-run static timing analysis in Quartus II to confirm closure.
Compliance Information
Lead-free per N-suffix terminal finish (Pb-free). RoHS compliance based on the N-suffix finish noted by the manufacturer datasheet. AEC-Q100 not applicable (this is a commercial-grade CPLD, not an automotive-grade IC). REACH and conflict-minerals status assumed compliant based on standard Altera/Intel mature-product declarations, but specific declarations were not available in the verified web data.
