Typical Applications
EPM9560RC240-15W is suitable for 6 applications: Industrial Control Glue Logic, Bus Bridging and Protocol Conversion, Legacy System Replacement and Obsolescence Management, Test and Measurement Instrumentation, Telecommunications Line Cards, Military and Aerospace Legacy Systems.
Industrial Control Glue Logic
The EPM9560RC240-15W fits industrial control glue logic because its 560 macrocells and 191 user I/O pins can absorb the address decoding, chip-select generation, and handshake logic that would otherwise require dozens of discrete 74-series ICs. With a 15 ns pin-to-pin delay and 5.0 V operation, it interfaces directly with legacy 5 V microcontrollers, PLC backplanes, and industrial buses without level shifters. The EEPROM-based non-volatile configuration means the logic is live within microseconds of power-up, which is critical for safety interlocks and machine sequencing where boot latency is unacceptable. A typical implementation places the CPLD between a host CPU and peripheral ASICs, decoding bus transactions and generating wait states. The trade-off is higher static power than modern 1.8 V CPLDs, but the 5 V tolerance and instant-on behavior remain unmatched for retrofit designs.
Recommended
Bus Bridging and Protocol Conversion
The EPM9560RC240-15W is well suited to bus bridging because its 191 user I/O pins and 560 macrocells can implement wide parallel interfaces such as ISA-to-PCI, VME-to-local-bus, or custom backplane protocols. The 117.6 MHz internal frequency and 15 ns pin-to-pin delay support synchronous state machines that translate between dissimilar bus timing domains. Designers typically instantiate FIFO control, address translation, and interrupt steering logic inside the CPLD, replacing multiple discrete transceivers and PALs. Because the device is EEPROM-based, the bridge configuration survives power cycles without external configuration memory, simplifying board bring-up. The main consideration is that 5.0 V signaling limits compatibility with modern 3.3 V or 1.8 V buses, so level translators may be required at the boundaries. For legacy system upgrades, however, the EPM9560RC240-15W remains a practical single-chip bridge.
Recommended
Legacy System Replacement and Obsolescence Management
The EPM9560RC240-15W is frequently used to replace obsolete discrete logic and earlier PLDs in legacy systems where a full redesign is not economically viable. Its 12,000 usable gates and 560 macrocells can consolidate dozens of 74LS/74ALS devices, PALs, and GALs into one 240-pin RQFP package, reducing board area and improving reliability. Because the MAX 9000 family is itself obsolete, this application is typically a last-time-buy or aftermarket supply scenario. Engineers should capture the existing netlist, verify timing against the 15 ns pin-to-pin delay, and confirm that the 0C to +70C commercial rating matches the original environment. The EEPROM configuration allows field reprogramming if logic fixes are needed. The primary risk is counterfeit or re-marked parts, so sourcing through traceable channels is essential.
Recommended
Test and Measurement Instrumentation
The EPM9560RC240-15W suits test and measurement instrumentation because its deterministic 15 ns pin-to-pin timing and 117.6 MHz internal frequency enable precise trigger generation, pattern sequencing, and time-to-digital conversion logic. With 191 user I/O pins, it can drive wide parallel data buses to ADCs, DACs, and display controllers in oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and automated test equipment. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration ensures the instrument boots into a known state without a configuration FPGA, which simplifies calibration and reduces boot time. Designers often use the CPLD to implement custom trigger state machines that would be too slow in software. The 5.0 V supply is compatible with legacy instrument backplanes, though thermal management should be considered in densely packed chassis. The device's commercial temperature rating is adequate for benchtop instruments.
Recommended
Telecommunications Line Cards
The EPM9560RC240-15W has historically been used on telecommunications line cards for TDM switching, HDLC framing, and backplane interface logic. Its 560 macrocells can implement multiple channel controllers, while the 191 user I/O pins interface with framers, line interface units, and switch fabrics. The 15 ns pin-to-pin delay supports the timing requirements of E1/T1 and SONET/SDH tributary interfaces, and the 5.0 V operation matches legacy telecom backplanes. EEPROM configuration provides instant-on behavior required for line-card hot-swap and redundancy switching. In modern deployments, this device is found mainly in maintenance and spare-parts scenarios rather than new designs, since carriers are migrating to lower-voltage, higher-density CPLDs and FPGAs. Verify the commercial temperature rating against the central office environment before reuse.
Recommended
Military and Aerospace Legacy Systems
The EPM9560RC240-15W appears in military and aerospace legacy systems where long-term supply and non-volatile configuration are valued. Its EEPROM-based architecture eliminates the single-event-upset susceptibility of SRAM-based FPGAs in radiation environments, and the instant-on behavior supports mission-critical boot sequences. The 560 macrocells and 191 I/O pins handle sensor interfacing, bus arbitration, and discrete I/O expansion in avionics and ground support equipment. However, the commercial 0C to +70C rating limits direct use in extreme environments; military-grade variants or thermal management are required. Because the MAX 9000 family is obsolete, sustainment programs rely on aftermarket and last-time-buy inventory. Traceability and counterfeit mitigation are paramount. For new designs, migration to a qualified modern CPLD is recommended.

- 5.0 V direct interface capability (vs EPM9560RC240-10)
Design Notes
Decouple every VCC pin of the EPM9560RC240-15W with a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor placed as close to the pin as possible, plus at least one 10 uF bulk capacitor per power plane. The device draws significant transient current during logic switching at 117.6 MHz; inadequate decoupling causes ground bounce and unreliable operation. Keep the 5.0 V supply within 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Estimated: at 5.0 V and typical ICC of a few hundred milliamps, total power dissipation can exceed 1 W, so verify the thermal design in enclosed chassis.
Route the JTAG ISP signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) as short, matched traces with a solid ground return, and place 10 kOhm pull-up resistors on TCK, TMS, and TDI per the MAX 9000 programming guidelines. Keep the 10-pin ISP header within 15 cm of the device. Avoid routing high-speed I/O traces underneath the RQFP exposed pad; use the pad as a thermal and ground connection with a via array. Separate analog and digital ground returns if the CPLD interfaces with mixed-signal circuitry.
The EPM9560RC240-15W is obsolete; do not design it into new products. For legacy sustainment, verify that incoming parts are genuine by checking date codes, package markings, and programming success rate. Counterfeit MAX 9000 devices are common in the aftermarket. Also confirm the 0C to +70C commercial rating matches the target environment; industrial or automotive deployments require a different temperature grade. Always program and verify the EEPROM configuration before board assembly.
Compliance Information
Compliance data not available in the provided verified web data. The 'N' suffix variants (e.g., EPM9560RC240-15N) typically denote lead-free/RoHS-compliant versions; confirm with the manufacturer before assuming compliance.
