EPM9560RC240-15N Visão geral

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPM9560RC240-15N is a high-performance CMOS EEPROM-based Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the third-generation MAX 9000 family, featuring 560 macrocells, 12,000 usable gates, and 216 maximum user I/O pins in a 240-pin RQFP package. The device operates at a 15 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay (tPD) and a 145 MHz internal counter frequency (fCNT), delivering deterministic logic integration for high-density glue-logic, bus-interface, and state-machine designs.

A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile, flash- or EEPROM-backed programmable logic device that sits hierarchically between simple SPLDs (e.g., GAL/PAL) and FPGAs. CPLDs are characterized by deterministic timing, instant-on behavior, high pin counts, and very low power consumption in standby, making them the preferred choice for system-level address decoding, bus arbitration, peripheral control, and power-sequencing logic. The MAX architecture walks up the taxonomy as: macrocell -> Logic Array Block (LAB) -> CPLD -> programmable logic -> semiconductor device.

Key features of the EPM9560RC240-15N include 35 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), 5.0 V in-system programmability (ISP) via IEEE 1532/JTAG, JTAG boundary-scan test support, open-drain or programmable I/O standards, and a commercial operating-temperature range of 0C to 70C. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration cell removes the need for external boot PROMs, enabling single-chip designs with instant-on functionality at system power-up.

Architecturally, the MAX 9000 device uses a continuous interconnect network called the Programmable Interconnect Array (PIA), which routes every LAB to every other LAB through a uniform, predictable switch matrix. Combined with the EEPROM process node, this delivers 100% interconnect utilization with no contention, predictable tPD regardless of design placement, and true pin-locking that survives design iterations without re-routing PCB traces.

Typical applications of the EPM9560RC240-15N include 32-bit/64-bit microprocessor peripheral decoding (PCI, VME, ISA), high-speed state-machine controllers, bus arbiters and protocol bridges, industrial PLC I/O expansion, and legacy glue-logic replacement. The wide I/O count (216 pins) supports designs requiring many chip-select, interrupt, or peripheral-control signals.

Designers should note that the EPM9560RC240-15N is an NRND/EOL-era part; production status should be confirmed with the manufacturer. For new designs, the MAX II or MAX V CPLD families are recommended; pin-compatible drop-in alternatives within the MAX 9000 family (same RQFP-240 footprint) include the speed-grade and temperature-grade variants EPM9560RC240-15, EPM9560RC240-12, and EPM9560RC240-10N.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in same-footprint alternatives from the Site MPN list, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone, providing engineers and procurement teams with a single consolidated reference.

Aplicações típicas

EPM9560RC240-15N é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: 32-bit Microprocessor Peripheral Decoding, High-Speed State-Machine Controllers, Bus Arbiters and Protocol Bridges, Industrial PLC I/O Expansion, Legacy Glue-Logic Replacement, Telecom Backplane Interface Logic.

🖥️

32-bit Microprocessor Peripheral Decoding

The EPM9560RC240-15N is well suited for 32-bit microprocessor peripheral-decoding tasks such as PCI, VME, and ISA bus chip-select generation. Its 560 macrocells and 216 user I/O pins can simultaneously decode dozens of address ranges, while the deterministic 15 ns tPD over the PIA interconnect ensures that chip-select signals arrive within the peripheral's access window. The 5.0 V I/O bank interfaces directly with 5 V peripherals and TTL decoder logic without level shifters, simplifying board design and reducing BOM cost in legacy 5 V microprocessor systems.

🏭

High-Speed State-Machine Controllers

With 560 macrocells organized into 35 Logic Array Blocks and a 145 MHz fCNT internal counter frequency, the EPM9560RC240-15N can implement multi-state FSMs running at tens of megahertz with deterministic one-clock-cycle state transitions. The EEPROM-based non-volatile configuration makes it ideal for mission-critical controllers that must wake up in a defined state at power-on, such as industrial machine-tool sequencers and avionics interface controllers. The deterministic 15 ns tPD guarantees that outputs settle before the next clock edge, eliminating metastability risk in feedback paths.

🌐

Bus Arbiters and Protocol Bridges

The EPM9560RC240-15N serves as a flexible bus arbiter and protocol bridge in mixed-bus systems, where it can map between PCI, VME, ISA, and proprietary backplane protocols. Its 216 I/O pins accommodate wide parallel data buses, while the 35 LABs allow multiple arbitration trees (round-robin, priority, daisy-chain) to coexist in a single device. JTAG boundary-scan support enables board-level interconnect testing of the bridge, a critical feature for high-reliability medical, aerospace, and industrial systems where protocol mismatch can cause silent data corruption.

🏭

Industrial PLC I/O Expansion

In industrial PLC and process-control systems, the EPM9560RC240-15N expands the I/O count of a CPU module by multiplexing digital inputs, conditioning signals, and generating isolated drive waveforms. The 216 user I/O pins support a high-channel-count PLC rack (typically 128-192 channels) with per-channel configuration stored in the non-volatile EEPROM. Industrial-grade noise immunity comes from the 5 V CMOS I/O with TTL thresholds and the inherent EMI robustness of deterministic CPLD timing, which avoids the spectral spreading seen in microprocessorbased I/O expanders.

🔧

Legacy Glue-Logic Replacement

The EPM9560RC240-15N consolidates dozens of 74-series TTL glue-logic chips (decoders, muxes, latches, flip-flops) into a single programmable device, reducing PCB area, power consumption, and BOM cost. With 560 macrocells it can replace up to 100+ discrete TTL packages, while the non-volatile EEPROM configuration preserves pin-locked functionality across design revisions. For legacy systems where the original TTL parts are end-of-life, this consolidation delivers a one-time redesign effort with a permanent roadmap of in-system reprogrammability.

📡

Telecom Backplane Interface Logic

The EPM9560RC240-15N is used in telecom backplanes for low-level line-card interface logic, including clock-distribution gating, frame-sync generation, and alarm-signal aggregation. Its 5 V I/O tolerance interfaces directly with legacy ECL/TTL line-interface units, and the 15 ns tPD provides adequate margin for 50 MHz backplane operation. The JTAG boundary-scan capability is critical for backplane manufacturing tests where bed-of-nails fixtures are impractical, and the deterministic PIA timing prevents the metastability issues common in microprocessorbased backplane controllers.

What is the EPM9560RC240-15N and how many macrocells does it have?
The EPM9560RC240-15N is a high-density Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from Intel/Altera's MAX 9000 family, featuring 560 macrocells, 35 Logic Array Blocks, 12,000 usable gates, and up to 216 user I/O pins.

As of 2026-09-13, the EPM9560RC240-15N is in limited stock at major distributors. Octopart aggregates real-time inventory across 23 distributors for the related EPM9560RC240-15 variant; stock for the -15N suffix varies daily and should be checked directly on DigiKey, Mouser, or TrustedParts. Back-order is common given the NRND lifecycle status.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPM9560RC240-15N?
The best drop-in replacements for the EPM9560RC240-15N are other MAX 9000 family members sharing the same RQFP-240 footprint: EPM9560RC240-15 (same speed grade, no N suffix), EPM9560RC240-12 (12 ns tPD, faster), and EPM9560RC240-10N (10 ns tPD, faster). All three are pin-to-pin compatible with the original part, allowing a direct PCB swap without re-routing.
What is the difference between EPM9560RC240-15N and EPM9560RC240-15?
The EPM9560RC240-15N has the 'N' suffix indicating lead-free / Pb-free assembly per Altera's ordering nomenclature, while the EPM9560RC240-15 is the standard leaded version. Both share identical silicon, timing, macrocell count, I/O count, and RQFP-240 footprint; the difference is only in terminal-finish composition, making them fully electrically interchangeable on existing PCBs.
EPM9560RC240-15N vs EPM9560ARC240-10 - which is better for new designs?
For new designs, the EPM9560ARC240-10 is generally the better choice because it offers a faster 10 ns tPD versus the 15 ns tPD of the EPM9560RC240-15N, has higher maximum user I/O count for ARC variants, and is the more recent Altera revision. However, the 'A' suffix denotes a different speed grade and may require timing re-validation; if pin-for-pin compatibility with an existing RQFP-240 layout is required, the -15N may still be the safer drop-in choice.
When should I choose EPM9560RC240-15N over a modern MAX II CPLD?
Choose the EPM9560RC240-15N over a MAX II CPLD only when you must maintain compatibility with an existing RQFP-240 PCB footprint that is already in production. For new designs, MAX II (EPM240, EPM570, EPM1270) and MAX V (5M40ZE64, 5M80ZE64) CPLDs offer lower power, smaller packages (TQFP, BGA), and active lifecycle status. The EPM9560RC240-15N remains preferred for legacy 5.0 V systems that cannot tolerate 3.3 V core voltages.
What package does the EPM9560RC240-15N use and how many pins?
The EPM9560RC240-15N is housed in a 240-pin RQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Pack) surface-mount package with gull-wing leads. The RQFP-240 package pinout supports up to 216 user I/O pins, with the remaining pins allocated to VCC, GND, JTAG (TDI/TDO/TMS/TCK), dedicated inputs, and no-connect (NC) pads. The exact pinout is documented in the MAX 9000 datasheet pin tables.
What is the operating voltage of EPM9560RC240-15N?
The EPM9560RC240-15N operates from a single 5.0 V supply (VCC = 5.0 V +/- 5%). Its I/O banks are 5.0 V tolerant and can directly interface with TTL and 5 V CMOS logic without level shifters. This 5 V native interface is one of the key reasons the MAX 9000 family remains in use in industrial and legacy embedded designs that have not migrated to 3.3 V cores.
Does EPM9560RC240-15N support JTAG and in-system programming?
Yes, the EPM9560RC240-15N supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan test and IEEE 1532 in-system programming (ISP). The four JTAG pins (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) allow the EEPROM configuration to be programmed, verified, and erased on the PCB without removing the device, and support BIST/board-level interconnect testing during manufacturing.

Notas de projeto

Estimated: The EPM9560RC240-15N draws approximately 200-400 mA from a 5.0 V supply in typical operation depending on switching activity and output loading; peak I/O current can rise to 1 A during simultaneous switching of all 216 outputs. Designers should provide a minimum of four 0.1 uF decoupling capacitors placed within 5 mm of each VCC pin group, plus a single 47 uF bulk tantalum capacitor at the board's CPLD power-entry point. The 5.0 V rail must be regulated to within +/-5%; a ferrite bead in series with the analog VCC is recommended for designs with sensitive analog circuitry sharing the same supply.

The RQFP-240 package uses gull-wing leads on a 0.5 mm pitch, which requires careful PCB land-pattern design and a reflow-profile compatible with the package's thermal mass. Estimated: keep all signal traces on inner layers to free the top/bottom layers for power planes and decoupling; route JTAG signals (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) together with a 10 kohm pull-up on TCK to prevent spurious configuration during power-up. A 4-layer PCB stackup with dedicated ground and power planes is strongly recommended to control impedance for the 35 LAB outputs switching simultaneously.

Critical pitfalls when designing with the EPM9560RC240-15N: (1) never apply 3.3 V signals directly to 5 V I/O pins without level translation; (2) configure unused I/O pins as outputs driving ground or as inputs with internal pull-ups enabled to minimize power and noise; (3) always assert the JTAG TRST pin at power-up to reset the TAP controller, otherwise the part may enter an indeterminate state during boundary-scan testing; (4) observe the VCC rise-time specification (typically <100 ms) to avoid partial programming of the EEPROM array; (5) check that the Quartus MAX+PLUS II toolchain supports your design before committing, since modern Quartus Prime has dropped MAX 9000 support.
