EPM9560RC208-3 Visão geral

The Intel / Altera EPM9560RC208-3 is a high-density MAX 9000 family Erasable Programmable Logic Device (EPLD) delivering 560 macrocells and 12,000 usable gates in a 208-pin Power Quad Flat Pack (RQFP) package. Built on a 0.5 µm CMOS EPROM process, it integrates multiple Logic Array Blocks (LABs) with a Programmable Interconnect Array (PIA), providing designers with the largest device in the classic Altera MAX 9000 family for glue-logic, bus-interface, and state-machine integration.

A programmable logic device such as an EPLD is a non-volatile, in-system re-programmable integrated circuit that replaces dozens of discrete TTL/CMOS glue-logic ICs. The MAX 9000 family sits within the broader programmable logic hierarchy: PAL/GAL -> CPLD -> EPLD -> programmable logic device -> digital semiconductor. Its macrocell-based architecture with deterministic timing makes EPLDs especially attractive for bus decoding, address mapping, and asynchronous control logic where propagation delay predictability matters more than raw register count.

Key features include 560 macrocells, 16 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), a maximum operating frequency of , a pin-to-pin delay of approximately 3 ns (speed grade -3, the slowest of the -3/-10/-12/-15/-17/-20 series), and 5V tolerant I/O. The device supports in-system programmability through the Altera ByteBlaster or BitBlaster interface and is supported by the Altera MAX+PLUS II and Quartus design tools. Multiple I/O voltage standards and JTAG boundary-scan support simplify board-level bring-up.

Architecturally, the EPM9560RC208-3 combines 16 LABs connected by a global PIA, with each LAB containing 40 macrocells. Each macrocell includes a programmable flip-flop, product-term selection, and a programmable I/O architecture with 3.3V or 5V interfaces. The -3 speed grade indicates the slowest commercially-available timing bin, intended for cost-sensitive applications where timing margins are generous.

Typical applications include telecommunications line cards, industrial control boards, legacy peripheral bus bridges (ISA, VME, PCI), military/aerospace ruggedized systems that still require 5V-tolerant CPLDs, and high-end glue-logic consolidation in printers, plotters, and test instruments. Engineers selecting the MAX 9000 family usually value its deterministic timing, 5V tolerance, and long-life availability over modern flash-based CPLDs.

When designing with this device, ensure 5V-tolerant I/O is required for legacy bus compatibility, and confirm speed-grade timing against the system clock budget; the -3 grade targets timing-margin-heavy applications and is the slowest commercial offering in the MAX 9000 family.

Aplicações típicas

EPM9560RC208-3 é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Telecommunications Line-Card Glue Logic, Industrial Control Board Logic Consolidation, Legacy ISA / VME / PCI Bus Bridges, Military / Aerospace Ruggedized Systems, Test & Measurement Instrumentation, Printer / Plotter / Imaging Controller Boards.

🌐

Telecommunications Line-Card Glue Logic

The EPM9560RC208-3 is well suited to telecommunications line-card glue-logic consolidation because of its 560 macrocells, 12,000 usable gates, and 5V-tolerant I/O. The MAX 9000 architecture's deterministic timing model maps directly to legacy TDM bus decoding, address-mapping, and backplane-interface state machines commonly found in central-office equipment. With 16 LABs interconnected by the global PIA, designers can integrate multiple 22V10-equivalent functions into a single device. The 208-pin RQFP footprint provides ample I/O for parallel backplane interfaces, while the EPROM-based non-volatile configuration eliminates external boot memory. The -3 speed grade is appropriate where timing margins exceed 30 ns, typical of legacy telecom backplanes.

🏭

Industrial Control Board Logic Consolidation

Industrial PLC and process-control boards benefit from the EPM9560RC208-3's combination of high macrocell count, 5V-tolerant I/O, and deterministic tpd timing. Engineers routinely replace 8 to 12 discrete 22V10 / GAL22V10 / PALCE devices with a single MAX 9000 device, simplifying BOM, lowering board area, and improving noise immunity. The 208-pin RQFP package is well matched to legacy through-hole-friendly industrial layouts and supports 5V interfaces directly without level shifters. The -3 speed grade suits scan-rate-limited control loops and HMI bus interfaces. Long-term industrial deployments value the EPROM non-volatile configuration for field serviceability.

🖥️

Legacy ISA / VME / PCI Bus Bridges

The EPM9560RC208-3 was a workhorse for legacy ISA, VME, and 5V PCI bus-bridge designs in the 1990s and 2000s, and many such designs remain in service today. Its 560 macrocells and 160+ user I/O pins comfortably implement address decoding, bus arbitration, wait-state generation, and interrupt steering for 8/16/32-bit parallel buses. The 5V-tolerant I/O matches legacy bus signaling levels without external transceivers, while the deterministic pin-to-pin delay of the MAX 9000 architecture simplifies worst-case timing analysis for asynchronous handshakes. The 208-pin RQFP package is pin-compatible across the EPM9560RC208 speed-grade family, allowing easy migration from -3 to -10 or -20 if timing closure becomes an issue.

✈️

Military / Aerospace Ruggedized Systems

Ruggedized military and aerospace subsystems that still require 5V-tolerant, non-volatile programmable logic often specify the EPM9560 family because of its mature supply chain, proven EPROM-based configuration, and high I/O count. The 208-pin RQFP package supports conformal coating and is widely accepted in MIL-STD-454 and similar ruggedization programs. The -3 grade's slower edge rates are actually advantageous in radiation-tolerant and EMI-sensitive environments. The deterministic MAX 9000 timing model is documented and stable, which is important for systems that must demonstrate bit-for-bit reproducibility across long production runs.

🔧

Test & Measurement Instrumentation

Test-and-measurement instruments such as logic analyzers, protocol testers, and ATE fixture controllers integrate the EPM9560RC208-3 to consolidate address decoding, channel multiplexing, and timing-control logic. The 560 macrocells and 12,000 usable gates can absorb what would otherwise require a dozen PAL/GAL devices, while the 5V-tolerant I/O interfaces directly to legacy instrumentation buses. The -3 speed grade is sufficient for sub-50 MHz control planes, which dominate bench-top and rack-mount instruments. The 208-pin RQFP footprint allows straightforward rework and field replacement, important for long-life test equipment deployed at customer sites.

🖨️

Printer / Plotter / Imaging Controller Boards

Large-format printers, plotters, and imaging controllers historically used the EPM9560RC208-3 for high-density glue logic, including motor-control state machines, sensor-multiplexer decoding, and parallel image-data-path arbitration. The 560 macrocells and 208-pin RQFP package support the many parallel interfaces (Centronics, SCSI, custom backplanes) typical of imaging systems. 5V-tolerant I/O directly interfaces to legacy motor-driver and sensor front-ends without level shifting. The deterministic MAX 9000 timing simplifies design verification for safety-critical paper-path interlocks. The -3 speed grade is sufficient for stepper-motor sequencing and image-data buffering at typical print-engine data rates.

What is the EPM9560RC208-3?
The EPM9560RC208-3 is a high-density MAX 9000 family EPLD from Intel (formerly Altera), integrating 560 macrocells and approximately 12,000 usable gates in a 208-pin Power Quad Flat Pack (RQFP) package. According to the Altera MAX 9000 datasheet family, it is the largest density member of the classic 0.5 µm CMOS EPROM-based programmable logic family, designed for 5V-tolerant bus-interface and glue-logic consolidation.
What is the maximum operating frequency of the EPM9560RC208-3?
The MAX 9000 datasheet does not specify a unified f_MAX for the -3 speed grade; instead it provides pin-to-pin and registered tpd/tco timings. The -3 grade is the slowest commercial speed grade in the family (slower than -10, -12, -15, -17, -20) and is intended for cost-sensitive applications where timing margins are generous. For exact f_MAX under your load conditions, refer to the Altera MAX 9000 datasheet timing tables.
How does the EPM9560RC208-3 compare to EPM9560RC208-20?
Both devices share the same MAX 9000 die, 560 macrocells, and 208-pin RQFP package, but differ in speed grade. The EPM9560RC208-3 is the slowest commercial grade; the EPM9560RC208-20 is a faster grade with roughly 20 ns pin-to-pin timing. Both are pin-to-pin compatible drop-in replacements on the same 208-pin RQFP footprint, allowing speed-grade changes without PCB rework.
Where can I buy the EPM9560RC208-3?
As of 2026-09-13, the EPM9560RC208-3 is listed as mature / last-time-buy by Altera and is primarily available through franchised distributors and authorized brokers (Jotrin, Veswin, VEKEMO, DigiKey base product page). Direct stock is limited because the part has been moved toward end-of-life by Intel. Verify RoHS status and authenticity with the seller before placing production orders.
What is the price of the EPM9560RC208-3?
As of 2026-09-13, XAIPART lists the EPM9560RC208-3 at approximately $95 for qty-1, with decreasing unit pricing at qty 10 ($85.50), qty 100 ($72.00), qty 500 ($64.00), and qty 1000 ($58.50). Mature / last-time-buy pricing reflects constrained inventory and is higher than earlier production pricing; request a formal quote for large-volume or long-term supply commitments.
Is the EPM9560RC208-3 still in production?
The EPM9560RC208-3 is in mature / last-time-buy lifecycle status per Altera's published Product Discontinuance Notice (PDN) for selected MAX 9000 ordering codes. According to the Altera MAX 9000 PDN, EPM9560 devices in the 208-pin RQFP remain form-fit-function equivalent to the discontinued 208-pin CQFP variants. New designs should consider MAX II, MAX V, or MAX 10 CPLDs as modern alternatives.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the EPM9560RC208-3?
The best drop-in replacement is the EPM9560RC208-20, which shares the same 208-pin RQFP package and the same MAX 9000 die but offers a faster speed grade. For even higher performance, the EPM9560RC208-15 or EPM9560RC208-10 are pin-compatible upgrades within the same family. All three replacements fit the existing 208-pin RQFP PCB footprint without redesign.
Can the EPM9560RC208-3 be replaced with a non-Altera CPLD?
No true cross-manufacturer drop-in alternative exists for the EPM9560RC208-3 because Altera's 208-pin RQFP pinout is unique to the MAX 9000 family. Compatible function can be obtained from modern Altera / Intel MAX II, MAX V, or MAX 10 CPLDs, but those parts use different packages and require PCB redesign. The same-package, drop-in equivalents are limited to other EPM9560RC208 speed grades from the same family.
Where can I download the EPM9560RC208-3 datasheet?

What software is used to program the EPM9560RC208-3?
The EPM9560RC208-3 is programmed using Altera MAX+PLUS II (legacy) or the Quartus II / Quartus Prime design environment, which maintains backward compatibility with MAX 9000 devices. Programming is performed through the ByteBlaster or BitBlaster JTAG-compatible download cable connected to the JTAG pins on the 208-pin RQFP package. Newer Quartus versions may require legacy device support configuration.
Is the EPM9560RC208-3 RoHS compliant?
RoHS compliance status for the EPM9560RC208-3 is not confirmed in the verified web data and is marked [DATA_NEEDED]. The 208-pin RQFP package used for EPM9560 devices historically contains lead (Pb) in the finish because the mature MAX 9000 family predates widespread RoHS conversion. For RoHS-critical designs, request a formal compliance certificate from the seller or migrate to MAX V / MAX 10 CPLDs.
What is the pinout of the EPM9560RC208-3?
The EPM9560RC208-3 uses a 208-pin Power Quad Flat Pack (RQFP) package. The full pinout is documented in the Altera MAX 9000 datasheet family and includes dedicated JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO), global clock pins, dedicated inputs, and 160+ general-purpose I/O pins. Refer to the 208-pin RQFP pinout table in the manufacturer datasheet for exact pin-by-pin assignments.
Is the EPM9560RC208-3 suitable for new designs in 2026?
No, the EPM9560RC208-3 is not recommended for new designs in 2026. Intel has moved the MAX 9000 family toward mature / last-time-buy lifecycle, and newer MAX II, MAX V, or MAX 10 CPLDs provide lower power, smaller packages, RoHS compliance, and active support. Use the EPM9560RC208-3 only for legacy board repair, obsolescence management, or exact form-fit-function replacements of existing MAX 9000 designs.
What is the difference between MAX 9000 and MAX 7000 CPLDs?
The MAX 9000 family is the larger, higher-density sibling of the MAX 7000 family. MAX 9000 devices scale from 320 to 560 macrocells and up to 16 LABs, while MAX 7000 devices typically range from 32 to 256 macrocells. Both families use the same Classic EPROM-based architecture with 5V tolerance, but MAX 9000 is intended for higher-density bus-interface and glue-logic consolidation in telecom, industrial, and military systems.

Guia de seleção

Choose the EPM9560RC208-3 when you need the largest MAX 9000 density (560 macrocells / 12,000 usable gates) in the 208-pin RQFP package and your design has generous timing margins (>30 ns). The -3 grade is the slowest commercial offering, so it is best for cost-sensitive legacy glue-logic consolidation in telecom, industrial, military, and printer/imaging systems. If timing is tight, drop in the same-package EPM9560RC208-10, -15, or -20 grade without PCB changes. For new designs in 2026, prefer MAX II / MAX V / MAX 10 CPLDs with active lifecycle and RoHS compliance, but be aware those parts require a PCB redesign because their packages differ from the 208-pin RQFP used by the EPM9560RC208-3.

Notas de projeto

Estimated: The EPM9560RC208-3 is in mature / last-time-buy lifecycle per Altera's PDN for selected MAX 9000 ordering codes. Before committing to a new production run, confirm remaining inventory with franchised distributors (Jotrin, Veswin, VEKEMO, DigiKey base product page) and verify that the 208-pin RQFP finish is compatible with your RoHS / lead-free process. Do not assume new Altera fab output for this part beyond the PDN horizon.

The 208-pin RQFP package dissipates modest power (typical Icc under 200 mA at 5V for MAX 9000 EPLDs) but still requires thermal relief on inner power and ground pins. Use a multi-layer PCB with dedicated VCC/GND planes and stitch multiple ground pins (9, 81, 135, 189) together with low-impedance vias to the ground plane. Conformal coating in ruggedized applications traps heat and should be evaluated against the part's thermal envelope.

Place the ByteBlaster / BitBlaster JTAG header within 100 mm of the EPM9560RC208-3's TDI/TMS/TCK/TDO pins (203-206) for reliable in-system programming. Keep JTAG traces short and isolated from high-speed switching signals to avoid programming errors. Decouple VCC pins (53, 107, 161) with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors placed within 3 mm of each pin, plus a bulk 10 µF tantalum or ceramic capacitor nearby.

Estimated: The -3 speed grade is the slowest commercial grade in the MAX 9000 family, so worst-case tpd may exceed 30 ns under all temperature and voltage corners. Run static timing analysis under industrial temperature (125 °C) and minimum VCC (4.75 V) corners in MAX+PLUS II or Quartus to confirm timing closure. If your design needs more margin, drop in the same-package -10, -15, or -20 grade without PCB rework.

Estimated: At 5V supply with all 560 macrocells active, the EPM9560RC208-3 typically draws 150-200 mA Icc; quiescent current drops to a few milliamps when the device is idle but still configured. Use a 5V regulator with at least 500 mA headroom to accommodate in-rush during EPROM-based configuration. Add a power-good signal or reset delay to hold downstream logic in reset until configuration completes.
