Typical Applications
EPM9560RI304-15 is suitable for 6 applications: 32/64-bit Microprocessor Bus Decoder, Telecom Backplane Glue Logic, Industrial Controller Peripheral Interface, Memory Address Mapping and Chip-Select Generation, High-Density State Machine Controllers, Legacy PCI/ISA Bridge Logic.
32/64-bit Microprocessor Bus Decoder
The EPM9560RI304-15 fits 32-bit and 64-bit bus decoder applications thanks to its 560 macrocells and 212 user I/Os, with 11.4 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay at the -15 speed grade. Placed between a CPU address bus and peripheral chip-select lines, the device decodes full address ranges with deterministic timing that does not require the long compilation iterations of an FPGA. The 304-pin RQFP package exposes sufficient I/O for the full 32-bit address bus plus 16-bit chip-select outputs, and the JTAG-based in-system programmability lets firmware engineers revise decode maps in the field without removing the IC.
Recommended
Telecom Backplane Glue Logic
The EPM9560RI304-15 is well matched to telecom backplane glue-logic functions where 5 V tolerance, industrial temperature grade and high I/O count are mandatory. With 212 user I/Os and 560 macrocells, it can implement multiple chip-select generators, interrupt controllers and bus-bridge state machines in a single device, replacing several discrete 74LS/74FCT logic packages. The -15 grade delivers 11.4 ns tpd, sufficient for 33 MHz PCI-style backplane timing, and the JTAG port supports boundary-scan testing of the assembled PCB for in-service diagnostics.
Recommended
Industrial Controller Peripheral Interface
In industrial PLC and process-controller peripheral interfaces, the EPM9560RI304-15 acts as the central glue-logic hub, aggregating motor-driver, ADC and sensor I/O onto the controller's local bus. The industrial temperature grade and 304-pin HFQFP package allow direct mounting next to power devices with proper thermal vias, while the 11.4 ns propagation delay accommodates deterministic handshake timing without metastability risk. In-system programming via JTAG enables post-assembly calibration of timing-critical registers.
Recommended
Memory Address Mapping and Chip-Select Generation
The EPM9560RI304-15 excels at memory-address mapping in systems with multiple banks of SRAM, DRAM and flash. The 560 macrocells can encode tens of chip-select equations with full address decoding, while the 212 user I/Os comfortably carry bank-enable, byte-enable and output-enable signals to a full memory array. The 11.4 ns tpd of the -15 speed grade adds minimal wait-state penalty, and the deterministic timing model lets the designer hand-calculate worst-case access paths without statistical simulation.
Recommended
High-Density State Machine Controllers
For state-machine controllers in instrumentation or test equipment, the EPM9560RI304-15 provides 772 flip-flops and 560 macrocells, supporting large Mealy/Moore machines with hundreds of states. The -15 grade's 145 MHz internal frequency allows tight control loops to run synchronously with the system clock, while the JTAG interface provides on-board state inspection through Altera MAX+PLUS II or Quartus signal-tap equivalents. The 304-pin package keeps state outputs and condition inputs on a single device, simplifying PCB routing.
Recommended
Legacy PCI/ISA Bridge Logic
The EPM9560RI304-15 is frequently specified in legacy PCI, ISA and VME bridge designs that require 5 V tolerance and deterministic timing. With 212 user I/Os, the device can implement address/data buffers, interrupt steering and bus arbitration in a single chip. The 11.4 ns tpd satisfies 33 MHz PCI timing budgets with margin, and the JTAG boundary-scan port is invaluable for production-test coverage on multi-layer backplanes. Designers should use the EPM9560RC304-10 variant when tighter timing is required.

Key Differentiators
- Highest macrocell density in the MAX 9000 family (vs EPM9480RC240-15)
- Industrial temperature grade for harsh environments (vs EPM9560RC304-15)
- 304-pin RQFP exposes the maximum I/O count (vs EPM9560RI240-20)
Design Notes
Estimated: the EPM9560RI304-15 draws up to ~600 mA from VCCINT (5 V) at full toggle and in-system programming, so each of the 304 package VCC pins must be decoupled with a 0.1 µF ceramic placed within 5 mm of the pin. Add a single 10 µF bulk tantalum or polymer cap near the device. Each VCCIO bank (typically banked in groups of ~50 pins) requires its own 0.1 µF + 10 µF pair; failure to isolate bank supplies causes ISP failure. Power sequencing is not required because the device is a single-rail CPLD with on-chip charge pumps.
Use a 4-layer PCB with continuous ground and power planes under the 304-pin RQFP footprint. Route high-speed signals (clocks, JTAG TCK) on the top layer over a continuous ground plane and keep trace lengths matched within 1 cm for differential pairs. Place the JTAG header within 5 cm of the device to avoid signal-integrity issues. Thermal vias under the exposed pad (if used) reduce junction temperature by 10-15 C at full load.
The MAX 9000 family uses TTL-compatible I/O with 5 ns rise/fall times at 50 pF loads; add 22 Ω series resistors on clock outputs driving long traces to dampen reflections. The 212 user I/Os can simultaneously switch, so distribute bulk decoupling around the package perimeter rather than concentrating it on one side. JTAG TCK must be pulled low and TMS/TDI pulled high through 10 kΩ resistors at power-up to ensure clean entry into the TAP controller.
Do not connect 5 V signals to a VCCIO bank powered at 3.3 V - this forward-biases the I/O ESD diodes and can latch-up the device. Always include a clear 'CPLD_PROGRAM_DONE' LED to verify ISP completion, because an incomplete JTAG programming session can leave the device in a half-configured state. Finally, ensure unused I/O pins are set to 'output enable off, logic low' in the MAX+PLUS II / Quartus settings to minimize quiescent current draw from 50 mA to 5-10 mA.
Compliance Information
RoHS and lead-free status not specified in the verified web data; the -15N and -15F variants in the Site MPN list are explicitly lead-free/RoHS. EPM9560RI304-15 itself is NRND and pre-dates widespread RoHS adoption, so most inventory is SnPb finish.
