Typical Applications

EPM9560RC208-19 is suitable for 6 applications: Microprocessor Bus Interface and Glue Logic, State Machine and Control Logic Replacement, Peripheral Control and I/O Expansion, Legacy System Maintenance and Aftermarket, Industrial Automation and Process Control, Telecommunications Backplane and Protocol Bridging.

🖥️

Microprocessor Bus Interface and Glue Logic

The EPM9560RC208-19's 149 user I/O pins and 560 macrocells make it ideal for microprocessor bus interfacing, address decoding, and chip-select generation in 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Its 19 ns tPD comfortably supports ISA bus timing (8 MHz) and most PCI applications up to 33 MHz when used for decode-only paths. The deterministic PIA routing guarantees consistent timing regardless of logic placement, eliminating the timing closure iterations common with FPGAs.

🏭

State Machine and Control Logic Replacement

With 772 flip-flops and 560 macrocells, the EPM9560RC208-19 can consolidate dozens of discrete 74-series logic ICs into a single device, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM cost. The 19 ns propagation delay supports state-machine clock rates up to approximately 50 MHz, suitable for industrial control sequencers, peripheral controllers, and protocol bridges. The EEPROM-based configuration means instant-on behavior with no boot loader required.

🔧

Peripheral Control and I/O Expansion

The wide 149-I/O count of the EPM9560RC208-19 in the 208-pin RQFP package is well-suited for I/O expansion in embedded systems where a microcontroller lacks sufficient pins. Designers can implement custom peripheral interfaces such as LCD controllers, key-scan matrices, and parallel-port extenders. The 3.3-V/5-V tolerant I/O enables interfacing with mixed-voltage subsystems without external level shifters.

✈️

Legacy System Maintenance and Aftermarket

The EPM9560RC208-19 is widely used in legacy industrial, telecommunications, and military systems where PCB redesign is not feasible. Its deterministic timing and proven EEPROM-based reliability make it a trusted component for sustaining field-deployed equipment. Sourcing from authorized distributors and verified brokers is essential due to the part's obsolete lifecycle status.

🏭

Industrial Automation and Process Control

In industrial automation systems, the EPM9560RC208-19 provides reliable, deterministic logic for PLC I/O modules, motor-control interfaces, and sensor-signal conditioning. Its CMOS EEPROM technology offers excellent noise immunity and stable operation across industrial temperature ranges when ordered with the appropriate -N or -C temperature grade suffix. The JTAG ISP interface enables in-field firmware updates for deployed automation equipment.

🌐

Telecommunications Backplane and Protocol Bridging

Telecommunications backplanes benefit from the EPM9560RC208-19's deterministic 19 ns timing for protocol bridging between legacy buses such as VME, ISA, and proprietary interfaces. The 149 user I/O pins accommodate wide parallel data paths and control signals. The JTAG ISP enables remote provisioning and field upgrades, valuable for telecom infrastructure with long deployment lifetimes.

What is the propagation delay of the EPM9560RC208-19?
The EPM9560RC208-19 has a pin-to-pin propagation delay (tPD) of 19 ns as indicated by the -19 speed grade suffix. According to Altera MAX 9000 datasheet documentation, this timing is deterministic across all paths because the device uses a Programmable Interconnect Array (PIA) that provides uniform routing delays independent of signal placement.
How many macrocells does the EPM9560RC208-19 have?
The EPM9560RC208-19 contains 560 macrocells and 772 flip-flops within its MAX 9000 architecture. Each macrocell combines a programmable AND/OR array with a configurable flip-flop, giving the device approximately 12,000 usable gates for glue-logic integration.
Does the EPM9560RC208-19 support in-system programming via JTAG?
Yes, the EPM9560RC208-19 supports 5.0-V in-system programmability through its built-in IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG interface. This allows boundary-scan testing, on-board programming, and design iteration without removing the device from the PCB, simplifying prototyping and field upgrades.
What is the difference between EPM9560RC208-19 and EPM9560RC208-20?
The EPM9560RC208-19 has a 19 ns propagation delay (tPD), while the EPM9560RC208-20 has a slower 20 ns tPD. Both share the same MAX 9000 architecture, 560 macrocells, 12,000 gates, and 208-pin RQFP package, making the -19 the higher-speed, premium-priced bin.
Is the EPM9560RC208-19 still in production?
The EPM9560RC208-19 is classified as obsolete. Altera (now part of Intel) has discontinued the MAX 9000 family, and remaining inventory is sourced from authorized distributors or the secondary market. Engineers designing new products should consider MAX II, MAX V, or MAX 10 CPLD families as modern equivalents.
Where can I buy the EPM9560RC208-19 online?
The EPM9560RC208-19 is available through authorized Altera/Intel distributors and secondary-market brokers. Distributors historically carrying this part include DigiKey, Mouser, and Avnet, though stock is limited due to its obsolete lifecycle status as of 2026-09-13.
What is the price of the EPM9560RC208-19?
The EPM9560RC208-19 unit price at quantity 1 is approximately $28.50 as of 2026-09-13, based on distributor listings for remaining stock. Pricing varies with quantity break, demand, and lot date code; obsolete parts typically command premium pricing in the secondary market.
What is the lead time for EPM9560RC208-19 orders?
Lead time for the obsolete EPM9560RC208-19 typically ranges from stock to 8-12 weeks depending on the supplier. Authorized distributors may quote 6-10 weeks from factory allocation, while brokers can often ship from immediate inventory at higher unit prices.
EPM9560RC208-19 vs EPM9560ARC240-10 - which is better for new designs?
For new designs the EPM9560ARC240-10 is generally the better choice because it uses the same MAX 9000 die but in a 240-pin RQFP package and -10 speed grade, providing additional I/O and faster timing. However, if your PCB footprint is locked to the 208-pin RQFP, the EPM9560RC208-19 is the only pin-compatible option within the same speed-grading range.
When should I choose EPM9560RC208-19 over a newer CPLD like MAX V?
Choose the EPM9560RC208-19 only when maintaining compatibility with an existing 208-pin RQFP PCB layout is mandatory, or when matching legacy timing characteristics is critical. For new designs, the MAX V family (5M240ZE64, 5M570ZE100, etc.) offers lower power, smaller packages, and active lifecycle support.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPM9560RC208-19?
The best drop-in replacement for the EPM9560RC208-19 is the EPM9560RC208-15, which shares the same 208-pin RQFP package, 560 macrocells, and MAX 9000 die with a faster 15 ns tPD. Other in-family options include the EPM9560RC208-17 and EPM9560RC208-18 for different speed-grade trade-offs.
Can the EPM9480RC208-15 replace the EPM9560RC208-19?
The EPM9480RC208-15 cannot fully drop-in replace the EPM9560RC208-19 because the EPM9480 has 480 macrocells versus 560 in the EPM9560, a 14% reduction in logic capacity. However, both share the 208-pin RQFP package, so if your design uses fewer than 480 macrocells the EPM9480RC208-15 is pin-compatible at a smaller logic capacity.
Where to download EPM9560RC208-19 datasheet PDF?
The EPM9560RC208-19 datasheet can be downloaded from the Altera MAX 9000 device family datasheet, available through the Alldatasheet archive at the URL listed in our data sources, and from Intel's PSG (Programmable Solutions Group) legacy documentation portal. The MAX 9000 datasheet typically runs approximately 182 pages covering all package and speed-grade variants.
Where to find the EPM9560RC208-19 pinout?
The EPM9560RC208-19 pinout is documented in the MAX 9000 device family datasheet. The 208-pin RQFP package assigns JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO), dedicated inputs (INPUT/GCLK, INPUT/OE), power pins (VCCINT, VCCIO), and 149 user I/O pins numbered per the standard PQFP pinout convention.

For an existing design, the best replacements are same-family, same-package EPM9560 variants: EPM9560RC208-15 (faster tPD), EPM9560RC208-17 or EPM9560RC208-18 (intermediate speeds), and EPM9560RC208-20 (slower but more available). All share the 208-pin RQFP footprint, making them drop-in compatible on your existing PCB.
What are the key specifications of EPM9560RC208-19 that engineers should know?
The EPM9560RC208-19 key specifications are: 560 macrocells, 12,000 usable gates, 772 flip-flops, 149 user I/O pins, 19 ns pin-to-pin tPD, 5.0-V VCCINT, 3.3-V/5-V tolerant I/O, IEEE 1149.1 JTAG ISP, and 208-pin RQFP package. These parameters define its place in the MAX 9000 family and govern timing, logic capacity, and board-level integration.
What is the best Intel (Altera) equivalent for the EPM9560RC208-19?
Within Intel/Altera's portfolio, the closest modern equivalents to the EPM9560RC208-19 are MAX V CPLDs such as 5M240ZE64C5N or 5M570ZE100C5N, but these are not pin-compatible because they use TQFP-64 or EQFP-100 packages rather than RQFP-208. For a true Intel/Altera pin-compatible drop-in, choose EPM9560RC208-15 or EPM9560RC208-17 from the same MAX 9000 family.

Selection Guide

Choose the EPM9560RC208-19 when you need a 19 ns tPD, 560-macrocell MAX 9000 CPLD in the 208-pin RQFP package and your design timing budget accommodates the 19 ns propagation delay. Choose the EPM9560RC208-15 if you need a faster 15 ns tPD in the same package. Choose the EPM9560RC208-20 if your timing budget allows 20 ns and you want easier sourcing of the slower speed grade. For designs exceeding 480 macrocells, stay within the EPM9560 family; for smaller designs, consider the EPM9480 or EPM9400 families. For new designs, evaluate MAX V or MAX 10 CPLDs as modern, active-lifecycle alternatives with smaller packages and lower power.

Key Differentiators

  • Balanced speed-grade positioning within the MAX 9000 family (vs EPM9560RC208-15)
  • Same RQFP-208 footprint enables direct substitution (vs EPM9560ARC240-10)
  • Wide I/O count of 149 pins for system integration (vs EPM9480RC208-15)

Design Notes

Estimated: at 100 MHz toggle activity on 50% of I/O pins, the EPM9560RC208-19 draws approximately 200-400 mA from VCCINT (5.0 V). Provide at least four 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling capacitors placed adjacent to each VCCINT pin and bulk capacitance on each VCCIO bank. The eight I/O banks can be powered independently at 3.3 V or 5 V, but VCCINT must remain at 5.0 V ±5%.

Do not mix 3.3 V and 5 V signals on the same I/O bank when the bank is configured for 5-V operation - this can damage I/O structures through voltage stress. Ensure JTAG chain integrity by buffering TDI/TDO if multiple devices share the chain. Always issue a bulk erase before reprogramming an EEPROM-based MAX 9000 device to clear any residual configuration bits.

Route high-speed signals (clocks, JTAG) with controlled impedance and keep them short. The RQFP-208 package has lead inductance of approximately 5-7 nH; place decoupling capacitors within 100 mils of each supply pin. Provide a solid ground plane beneath the device for return-current paths and EMI suppression. Exposed-pad variants do not exist for this package - thermal dissipation is through the 208-pin leads.
