EPM7256AQI208-10 Visão geral
A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile programmable logic IC that combines the instant-on behavior, deterministic timing, and single-chip simplicity of traditional PAL/GAL architectures with the density and macrocell richness of small FPGAs. It belongs to the broader taxonomy of programmable logic devices -> PLDs -> CPLDs -> EEPROM-based CPLDs -> MAX 7000A family. The "A" suffix denotes the second-generation MAX 7000A architecture with MultiVolt I/O, the "Q" in the device identifier denotes the PQFP package, "I" denotes the industrial temperature range, and the "-10" suffix specifies a 10ns worst-case pin-to-pin propagation delay with a 93.5 MHz maximum internal counter frequency.
Key features include MultiVolt I/O interfaces that allow the device core to operate at 3.3V while I/O banks remain compatible with 5.0V, 3.3V, and 2.5V logic levels; 4.5ns pin-to-pin logic delays on internal paths; counter frequencies up to 227.3 MHz; and pin counts ranging across thin quad flat pack (TQFP), PQFP, and ball-grid array (BGA) options for space-constrained designs. The EPM7256AQI208-10 specifically delivers the largest density and highest I/O count in the MAX 7000A PQFP-208 line, making it suitable for bus-interface glue logic and protocol-bridging functions.
Typical applications include industrial control glue logic, peripheral bus interfacing (PCI, ISA, VME bridge logic), address decoding and chip-select generation, microcontroller I/O expansion, state-machine implementation in motor-control boards, and legacy telecom backplane glue. Designers choose this part for its non-volatile instant-on configuration (no external boot PROM needed), deterministic 10ns timing, and 3.3V core with 5V-tolerant I/O that simplifies mixed-voltage system design.
A key design consideration is that the industrial-grade "I" suffix ensures operation from -40C to +85C ambient. Designers should budget adequate PQFP thermal dissipation - the plastic package can dissipate roughly 1W at typical 3.3V operating conditions with moderate toggle rates, so high-utilization designs may require airflow. The JTAG ISP interface allows in-field re-programming but requires the 3.3V VCCIO rail to be stable during ISP cycles.
This page synthesizes distributor stock levels, parametric cross-references to the MAX 7000A family, and design guidance beyond the manufacturer datasheet to help engineers validate the EPM7256AQI208-10 against modern CPLD alternatives.

Aplicações típicas
EPM7256AQI208-10 é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Industrial Control Glue Logic, Peripheral Bus Interface Bridging, Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation, Motor Control State Machines, Legacy Telecom Backplane Glue Logic, Microcontroller I/O Expansion.
Industrial Control Glue Logic
The EPM7256AQI208-10's 256 macrocells and 68 I/O pins make it ideal for industrial control boards where deterministic 10ns timing and instant-on EEPROM configuration are required. Its MultiVolt I/O lets it interface to legacy 5V sensors and 3.3V microcontrollers on the same PCB without level shifters. The industrial -40C to +85C temperature grade supports factory-floor deployment. With 227.3 MHz counter frequency, it can drive high-speed encoder and PWM control loops while the JTAG ISP interface enables in-field firmware updates during commissioning.
Recomendado
Peripheral Bus Interface Bridging
The 68 user I/O pins of the EPM7256AQI208-10 enable direct bridging between legacy peripheral buses (ISA, VME, PC/104) and modern 3.3V processor buses, eliminating the need for multiple discrete glue-logic chips. Its 10ns pin-to-pin delay ensures deterministic bus-arbitration and chip-select generation timing across the full industrial temperature range. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration means no boot-PROM is required, reducing BOM cost and board footprint in embedded computing designs.
Recomendado
Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation
The EPM7256AQI208-10 is well suited to generating chip-select signals for memory-mapped peripherals in 16-bit and 32-bit embedded systems, with 256 macrocells providing ample capacity for complex address maps. Its 10ns propagation delay matches the access-time budgets of most SRAM, Flash, and peripheral devices used in industrial controllers. The MultiVolt I/O permits direct interface to 5V memory banks from a 3.3V processor without external buffers, simplifying board layout.
Recomendado
Motor Control State Machines
The EPM7256AQI208-10's deterministic timing and 227.3 MHz internal counter frequency enable precise PWM and stepper-motor state-machine implementation in industrial motor-control applications. Its 68 I/O pins easily accommodate multi-axis encoder inputs, Hall-sensor feedback, and PWM outputs for 3-phase inverter control. The industrial temperature range supports under-hood and factory-cabinet environments where ambient temperatures can exceed 70C during operation.
Recomendado
Legacy Telecom Backplane Glue Logic
Telecom backplanes often require 5V-tolerant I/O and deterministic timing for TDM bus arbitration and clock-distribution functions - exactly the role the EPM7256AQI208-10 was designed for. Its 256 macrocells handle full backplane address decoding while 68 I/O pins support multiple TDM framers and serializers. The JTAG ISP interface allows board-level diagnostics without removing the part, critical for high-availability telecom infrastructure.
Recomendado
Microcontroller I/O Expansion
The EPM7256AQI208-10 can serve as a high-density I/O expander for microcontrollers that lack sufficient GPIO pins, providing 68 additional user I/O with deterministic read/write timing. The JTAG interface allows firmware updates without reprogramming the host microcontroller, simplifying field maintenance. MultiVolt I/O enables direct interface to 5V microcontrollers or 3.3V ARM Cortex-M devices on the same board.

Notas de projeto
The EPM7256AQI208-10 requires a stable 3.3V core supply (VCC) and four independent I/O bank supplies (VCCIO1-VCCIO4) which may be set to 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5.0V depending on the logic family being interfaced. Decoupling: place one 0.1uF ceramic capacitor near each VCC and VCCIO pin, plus a bulk 10-100uF tantalum or polymer capacitor at the board's power entry. Estimated: with 68 I/O toggling at 10 MHz and 50% utilization, I/O current draw is approximately 100-200 mA on the VCCIO rails; budget the 3.3V regulator accordingly. During JTAG ISP, all VCCIO rails must remain stable to prevent programming errors.
The PQFP-208 plastic package has a typical theta-JA of approximately 25-35 C/W depending on PCB copper area. Estimated: at 100 mA I/O current with all banks driving 5V outputs into 50pF loads at 10 MHz, internal dissipation can reach 0.5-1.0W, producing a 12-35C junction-temperature rise above ambient at room temperature. For full industrial -40C to +85C operation, ensure the design includes at least 4 square inches of ground-plane copper under the PQFP to keep junction temperatures within spec. Avoid placing the CPLD near board-edge heat sinks or other high-power devices.
Place the EPM7256AQI208-10 close to its associated microcontrollers or bus devices to minimize signal-trace lengths; keep high-speed GCLK traces under 25mm to avoid reflections. Use controlled-impedance routing (typically 50-ohm microstrip or stripline) for GCLK1, GCLK2, and any clock-distribution outputs above 50 MHz. Separate analog and digital ground planes if mixing 5V analog signals into the I/O banks, joining them only at a single star-point near the CPLD's GND pins. Reserve JTAG pins (TDI, TMS, TCK, TDO) on a dedicated header or test pad for in-system programming access.
Do not exceed the absolute-maximum VCCIO voltage of 5.5V on any I/O bank or the part may suffer permanent damage. Note that the 10ns pin-to-pin delay is the worst-case over the full industrial temperature range; designs targeting the highest commercial-temperature timing margins should specify the 7ns -7 speed grade (EPM7256AQC208-7). When migrating from commercial-grade MAX 7000A parts, ensure the new device's MultiVolt I/O bank voltages match the legacy circuit - the 'E' suffix variants (e.g., EPM7256AEQC208-5N) have enhanced MultiVolt features that differ subtly from the non-'E' parts. Always confirm pinout compatibility before substituting between PQFP-208 and FineLine BGA packages.
