Typical Applications
EPM9560RC208-10N is suitable for 6 applications: High-Density Bus-Interface Glue Logic, Peripheral Controllers in Telecom Equipment, Production Board Test and JTAG Chain Integration, Pin-Compatible CQFP-to-RQFP Migration, High-Density State Machine Consolidation, Legacy Industrial Control Logic Replacement.
High-Density Bus-Interface Glue Logic
The EPM9560RC208-10N's 560 macrocells and 153 user I/Os make it ideal for consolidating wide bus-interface glue logic on legacy 5V backplanes. It can replace 8-12 discrete 22V10 PALs while providing deterministic 10 ns timing - critical for parallel ATA, VMEbus, and ISA-style buses where setup/hold margins are tight. The 5V VCCIO supports direct connection to 5V TTL/CMOS peripherals without level shifters. Instant-on EEPROM configuration eliminates FPGA bitstream-load delay on power-up, ensuring bus arbitration logic is active before any master requests the bus. The 208-RQFP footprint and 100 MHz Fmax deliver the throughput needed for legacy high-speed parallel interfaces still found in telecom and industrial-control equipment.

Peripheral Controllers in Telecom Equipment
Telecom line cards and channel banks historically used MAX 9000 CPLDs for address decoding, interrupt steering, and watchdog timing. The EPM9560RC208-10N's 12,000 usable gates fit a full T1/E1 framer companion controller with margin for custom extensions. The non-volatile EEPROM eliminates the need for external configuration memory, reducing board area and BOM cost in space-constrained shelf systems. JTAG support enables in-system programming during board bring-up and field firmware updates. The 208-RQFP package with copper-tungsten heat spreader provides the thermal headroom required for 5V operation across industrial temperature ranges typical of central-office deployments.
Recommended
Production Board Test and JTAG Chain Integration
The EPM9560RC208-10N's IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface makes it a natural fit for boundary-scan test integration on legacy production boards. With 153 user I/Os exposed to the JTAG chain, it can be used to monitor inter-board connections and drive test vectors during manufacturing test. The on-chip JTAG controller enables in-system programming of the EEPROM without removing the device, simplifying field service and rework. Designers building JTAG-based bed-of-nails test fixtures benefit from the predictable 10 ns timing, which keeps test-vector execution deterministic across production units. The 208-RQFP form factor matches the discontinued 208-CQFP package referenced in the Altera product-discontinuance notice, enabling drop-in migration of legacy test fixtures.
Recommended
Pin-Compatible CQFP-to-RQFP Migration
Altera's product-discontinuance notice states that 208-pin RQFP MAX 9000 devices are form, fit, and functionally equivalent to the discontinued 208-pin CQFP package. The EPM9560RC208-10N enables drop-in migration of legacy boards that originally used the CQFP footprint, with no PCB rework needed beyond confirming the RQFP land pattern compatibility. Designers updating service stock or refurbishing field-deployed equipment can use this part to extend product lifecycle without requalifying the board. The copper-tungsten heat spreader of the RQFP actually improves thermal performance versus the original CQFP, reducing junction-to-case thermal resistance. This migration path is critical for long-lifecycle industrial, military, and aerospace programs that must maintain form-factor compatibility.
Recommended
High-Density State Machine Consolidation
State machines requiring 200-500 states can be implemented in a single EPM9560RC208-10N, replacing racks of discrete PALs and 74LS logic. The MAX 9000 macrocell provides a registered output with separate sum-of-products logic, ideal for one-hot or binary-encoded FSMs in protocol engines, motor-control sequencers, and instrumentation timing controllers. The deterministic 10 ns tPD1 allows multi-stage state machines to meet timing closure without manual retiming. Designers can partition the 560 macrocells into multiple independent state machines, each with its own clock domain, sharing the global interconnect only for cross-domain signals. This consolidation reduces PCB area, improves reliability, and simplifies firmware revision management via JTAG reprogramming.
Recommended
Legacy Industrial Control Logic Replacement
Industrial PLC I/O modules and CNC controllers originally designed with discrete 22V10/26V12 PALs can be consolidated onto a single EPM9560RC208-10N, reducing component count and improving MTBF. The 5V operation matches the legacy logic supply rails without requiring DC-DC converters, and the 153 I/Os cover typical 64-128 point I/O modules with spare capacity for diagnostic and status LEDs. Industrial temperature operation is supported across the standard MAX 9000 commercial and industrial grades. The non-volatile configuration eliminates the risk of configuration loss during brown-out events common in industrial environments. For long-lifecycle programs still shipping 20+ years after design start, the EPM9560RC208-10N provides a proven, last-time-buy procurement path before forced migration to MAX II/MAX V.

Key Differentiators
- Highest-density member of the MAX 9000 family at 560 macrocells (vs EPM9320ARI208-10N (320 macrocells in same package))
- Fastest speed grade in the EPM9560 family (vs EPM9560RC208-15 (15 ns tPD1 in same package))
- Drop-in RQFP replacement for discontinued 208-CQFP package (vs Legacy EPM9560 in 208-CQFP (discontinued))
Design Notes
The EPM9560RC208-10N operates from a single 5.0 V supply for both VCCINT and VCCIO. Bulk-decouple each VCC pin with a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the package lead, plus a 10 uF tantalum or aluminum polymer bulk capacitor near the device. Because the device has multiple VCC pins (typically 8-12 on the 208-RQFP), distribute the decoupling evenly around the package perimeter. ICC at maximum toggle activity can reach 300-500 mA depending on logic density used.
Estimated: at maximum toggle activity the EPM9560RC208-10N dissipates approximately 1.5-2.5 W. The 208-RQFP package uses a copper-tungsten heat spreader that improves thermal performance versus the discontinued 208-CQFP, but the RQFP still requires a copper pour of at least 4 square inches on the primary side and thermal vias to the opposite PCB layer to keep the junction temperature below 100C in industrial environments. Designers migrating from the CQFP package should re-characterize thermal performance because the heat-spreader mounting topology differs.
The 208-RQFP package uses 0.5 mm pitch gull-wing leads. Recommended land pattern is per IPC-7351 nominal density with 0.30 mm lead width and 1.0 mm pad length. Keep all signal traces at least 0.2 mm from the package perimeter to avoid solder bridges during reflow. Use a 4-layer PCB with dedicated ground and power planes; the high I/O count (153 signals) makes ground-plane reference essential for signal integrity above 50 MHz.
Do not assume EPM9320ARI208-10N is a drop-in alternative - it has only 320 macrocells versus the EPM9560's 560, and designs that use the full macrocell count will not fit. When migrating from the discontinued 208-CQFP to 208-RQFP, verify that the CQFP land pattern is pin-compatible with the RQFP; the Altera product-discontinuance notice confirms form-fit-function equivalence but designers should still inspect the actual board outline. Do not attempt to program the device with modern Quartus Prime - use MAX+PLUS II 10.23 or Quartus II v9.0 or earlier for MAX 9000 synthesis support.
Compliance Information
RoHS and lead-free status marked as 'unknown' because the Verified Web Data does not state these explicitly. The 'N' suffix in 'RC208-10N' suggests lead-free / Pb-free terminal finish per Altera's older ordering-code convention, but this should be confirmed against the manufacturer datasheet ordering-information table before RoHS-critical designs are released.
