EPM7256AEFC100-7 Обзор

The Intel EPM7256AEFC100-7 is a high-density, in-system-programmable CPLD from the MAX 7000A family, integrating 256 macro cells (5,000 usable gates) in a 100-pin FineLine BGA (FBGA) package. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply (3.0 V – 3.6 V) and supports pin-to-pin propagation delays of 7.5 ns, with internal toggle rates up to 250 MHz and a maximum operating frequency of 126.6 MHz. The device exposes 84 user I/Os for high-density glue-logic, bus-interface, and state-machine integration.

A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile, instantly-on programmable logic device that sits between discrete 74-series glue logic and larger FPGAs. It is typically used to implement boot-time-immune decode logic, I/O expander bridges, bus-arbitration state machines, and address-latching interfaces, and it boots in milliseconds because configuration is stored in on-chip EEPROM rather than loaded from external flash.

Key features include in-system programmability via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG, 5 V tolerant I/O, programmable power management with pin-per-pin enable/disable, and four global clock networks with product-term or I/O-pin control. Each macro cell contains a programmable AND/OR array with a register that can be configured as D, T, JK, or SR flip-flop, and the 256 macro cells are partitioned into 16 Logic Array Blocks for efficient partitioning of wide decode and arithmetic functions.

The MAX 7000A architecture combines an EEPROM-based configuration memory (true non-volatility - no external boot PROM) with a MultiVolt core and MultiVolt I/O interface, allowing the core to operate at 3.3 V while the I/O banks interface directly to 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V devices. The 100-pin FBGA offers a compact footprint that suits high-density PCB designs where TQFP variants would be too large.

Typical applications span industrial control boards, telecom base-station glue logic, PCI/ISA bus decode in legacy industrial backplanes, address decoding in 32-bit embedded systems, and prototype ASIC replacement. Designers choose the MAX 7000A family for instant-on behavior, deterministic timing, and a known-silicon IP portfolio that has shipped for decades.

When designing with this part, observe the 3.3 V VCCINT supply (separate from VCCIO if MultiVolt is used), keep JTAG chain lengths short, and respect the 100-FBGA thermal pad layout recommended in the Intel MAX 7000A device handbook. Decoupling the eight VCCINT and four VCCIO balls with 0.1 uF X7R ceramics placed within 3 mm of each ball cluster is recommended for reliable in-system programming.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing as of 2026-09-13, MAX 7000A family drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes that complement (and do not duplicate) the official MAX 7000A device handbook.

Типичное применение

EPM7256AEFC100-7 подходит для 6 применениеs: PCI/ISA Bus Decode and Address Latching, Industrial Control Board Glue Logic, Telecom Base Station Backplane Logic, ASIC Prototype and Pre-Production Bridge, Legacy Embedded System Address Decoder, I/O Expander and Bus Bridge for Microcontroller Boards.

🏭

PCI/ISA Bus Decode and Address Latching

The EPM7256AEFC100-7's 256 macro cells, 7.5 ns propagation delay, and 84 user I/Os make it an ideal decoder for legacy 33 MHz PCI and ISA backplanes where deterministic timing and instant-on behavior are mandatory. The MAX 7000A family's 250 MHz internal toggle rate comfortably absorbs the 30 ns PCI bus decode budget, while 5 V MultiVolt I/O banks interface directly to 5 V peripheral chips without level shifters. Designers typically instantiate 8-16 deep address decoders plus 4-8 state-machine channels for arbitration. Quartus Prime legacy flow supports the design with bitstream programming via JTAG. Compared to discrete 74-series glue logic, the part reduces board area by 70-80% and improves EMC by collapsing long decode traces into a single chip.

🏭

Industrial Control Board Glue Logic

Factory automation PLCs and motor controllers use the EPM7256AEFC100-7 to consolidate 30-60 discrete 74HC/74LVC logic gates into a single instant-on programmable device. The part's 5 V-tolerant MultiVolt I/O bridges 3.3 V MCUs to 5 V driver ICs without external level shifters, while its in-system programmability allows last-minute BOM changes via JTAG without re-spinning the board. Industrial temperature variants (EPM7256AEFI100-7) extend operation to -40C to +85C for harsh environments. EEPROM-based configuration means no boot PROM, no FPGA bitstream load time, and predictable power-on state - all critical for IEC 61131-2 compliant PLCs.

🌐

Telecom Base Station Backplane Logic

The EPM7256AEFC100-7 is widely deployed in telecom backplanes for E1/T1 framer interface glue, HDLC channel aggregation, and timing-reference distribution. Its deterministic 7.5 ns tPD and 250 MHz toggle rate handle 8.192 MHz E1 and 1.544 MHz T1 streams with substantial timing margin, while the 100-FBGA package fits dense 6U cPCI/ATCA board layouts. The non-volatile EEPROM configuration survives board-level power cycles without external boot devices, and JTAG in-system programming enables firmware updates on deployed hardware. The 5 V MultiVolt I/O allows direct connection to legacy bus-interface ASICs that remain common in telecom infrastructure.

🔧

ASIC Prototype and Pre-Production Bridge

Design teams use the EPM7256AEFC100-7 as a stand-in for missing or in-development ASICs, prototyping board interfaces months before mask tape-out. The 256 macro cells comfortably implement medium-complexity glue (memory controllers, peripheral bridges, custom register blocks), and Quartus Prime synthesis preserves timing closure so the ASIC tape-out starts from a verified reference design. When the ASIC returns from the fab, the same JTAG programming flow accommodates a small CPLD-resident management block that survives the ASIC migration. This pattern saves 4-8 weeks of system bring-up time compared to waiting for the ASIC.

🖥️

Legacy Embedded System Address Decoder

The EPM7256AEFC100-7 integrates 32-bit address decoders for 68k, MIPS, ARM7, and PowerPC embedded hosts in single-chip form. Its 256 macro cells partition into independent decode regions (chip-select, wait-state generator, interrupt prioritization, bus-error handler) without resource contention. The 84 user I/Os expose enough pins for 16-24 chip-select outputs plus interrupt and DMA acknowledge signals. Designers benefit from the MAX 7000A family's deterministic tPD, which avoids the bus-cycle stretch issues common to FPGA-based decoders that route through LUT chains. Quartus legacy flow supports all classic embedded CPU glue patterns.

🧩

I/O Expander and Bus Bridge for Microcontroller Boards

8-bit and 16-bit microcontroller boards use the EPM7256AEFC100-7 as an SPI/I2C-to-parallel I/O expander, gaining 30-60 additional GPIO bits with bit-bangable direction and pull-up control. The MAX 7000A architecture's instant-on behavior means the I/O expander is ready before the MCU completes boot, avoiding the brown-out glitches seen with FPGA-based expanders. The 84 user I/Os can be partitioned into multiple virtual ports (8-bit, 16-bit, mixed) each with independent direction control. Designers program the part via JTAG during board bring-up, then lock the bitstream with the on-chip security bit to prevent field modification.

What is the macro cell count of the EPM7256AEFC100-7?
The EPM7256AEFC100-7 contains 256 macro cells organized into 16 Logic Array Blocks within the MAX 7000A family. According to the Intel MAX 7000A device handbook, each macro cell combines a programmable AND/OR array with a configurable D/T/JK/SR register, delivering approximately 5,000 usable gates for high-density glue logic. The 100-FBGA package exposes 84 user I/Os for board-level interfacing.
What is the propagation delay of EPM7256AEFC100-7?
The EPM7256AEFC100-7 has a maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay (tPD) of 7.5 ns. This places it in the -7 speed grade of the MAX 7000A family. Combined with an internal toggle rate of 250 MHz and a maximum counter frequency of 126.6 MHz, the part comfortably drives 33 MHz PCI and standard 50 MHz synchronous bus decode without timing closure work.
Is the EPM7256AEFC100-7 in stock and where can I buy it?
As of 2026-09-13, the EPM7256AEFC100-7 is in stock at authorized distributors. Heisener lists 5,328 pieces with immediate shipment and a unit price of $33.55. Octopart currently indexes 18 distributors carrying the part. Authorized Altera/Intel channels (DigiKey, Mouser) and authorized brokers (Rochester Electronics for obsolete-window stock) are the recommended sourcing paths.
What is the price of EPM7256AEFC100-7?
As of 2026-09-13, the EPM7256AEFC100-7 prices at $33.55 per unit at Heisener, with tier breaks around $28.50 at qty 10, $22.40 at qty 100, and $15.20 at qty 1000 on volume channels. Pricing fluctuates because the part is allocated through authorized channels; check Octopart for live distributor comparison and request formal quotes for production quantities.
What is the lead time for EPM7256AEFC100-7?
Heisener reports the EPM7256AEFC100-7 ships immediately with estimated delivery of Mar 1 - Mar 6 as of 2026-09-13. Authorized distributors typically hold 4-12 weeks of inventory.

What is the difference between EPM7256AEFC100-7 and EPM7256AEFC100-10?
The EPM7256AEFC100-7 and EPM7256AEFC100-10 differ only in speed grade: -7 has a 7.5 ns propagation delay (faster), while -10 has a 10 ns propagation delay (slower, lower cost). Both share the same 100-FBGA package, same 256 macro cells, and identical pinout, making them true drop-in alternatives. Designers select -7 for 33 MHz PCI applications and -10 for cost-sensitive decode where 10 ns timing suffices.
Can I replace EPM7256AEFC100-7 with EPM7256AETC100-7?
Yes, the EPM7256AETC100-7 is a drop-in replacement for the EPM7256AEFC100-7 at the package level - both use the same 100-pin TQFP/FBGA style. The 'AE' prefix designates the 3.3 V VCCINT variant, while 'E' indicates the extended temperature range. Confirm the JTAG chain and MultiVolt I/O bank assignments against the MAX 7000A handbook before PCB swap.
Where can I download the EPM7256AEFC100-7 datasheet?
The official EPM7256AEFC100-7 datasheet is the Intel MAX 7000A Programmable Logic Device Family datasheet, downloadable from intel.com. Distributors such as DigiKey, Mouser, and Heisener also host the PDF on their product detail pages. Altera-era documents are still indexed at www.altera.com and remain valid for electrical characteristics.
What package does the EPM7256AEFC100-7 use and what is the pinout?
The EPM7256AEFC100-7 uses a 100-ball FineLine BGA (FBGA) measuring 11x11 mm. Per the MAX 7000A device handbook pinout, the device exposes 84 user I/O balls plus dedicated JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO), power (VCCINT, VCCIO), and ground balls in the central thermal region. Full ball-map coordinates appear in the device handbook chapter on FBGA packages.
What are the key specifications of EPM7256AEFC100-7 engineers should know?
The EPM7256AEFC100-7 integrates 256 macro cells (5,000 gates), 84 user I/Os, and a 7.5 ns tPD in a 100-FBGA. It operates from 3.0-3.6 V VCCINT, supports 2.5 V / 3.3 V / 5 V MultiVolt I/O, and is in-system programmable via JTAG. Source: Intel MAX 7000A device handbook. The 250 MHz internal toggle rate and 126.6 MHz fMAX make it well suited for PCI and synchronous bus decode.
EPM7256AEFC100-7 vs EPM7192SQC160-10 - which is better for glue logic?
For medium-density glue logic, the EPM7256AEFC100-7 (256 macro cells, 84 I/Os, 100-FBGA, 7.5 ns tPD) is the better choice when more logic is required; the EPM7192SQC160-10 (192 macro cells, 124 I/Os, 160-pin QFP, 10 ns tPD) is preferable when you need more I/O count with a more easily inspectable QFP package and accept slightly slower timing. Both share the MAX 7000A architecture and JTAG programming flow.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPM7256AEFC100-7?
The best same-brand drop-in replacements are the EPM7256AEFC100-10 (slower -10 speed grade, same 100-FBGA, lower cost) and the EPM7256AEFC100-7N (Pb-free version of the same die and package). Both share the 256 macro cells, 84 I/Os, and JTAG programming interface, enabling direct PCB substitution with no rework. Cross-brand equivalents are limited because MAX 7000A architecture is Altera/Intel proprietary.
Is the EPM7256AEFC100-7 suitable for 5V system design?
Yes, the EPM7256AEFC100-7 is suitable for 5 V system design through its MultiVolt I/O interface. The core VCCINT operates at 3.0-3.6 V while each VCCIO bank can be independently powered at 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V, allowing direct interface to legacy 5 V peripherals without level shifters. Source: Intel MAX 7000A device handbook, MultiVolt I/O chapter.
What is the difference between MAX 7000A and MAX II CPLDs?
The MAX 7000A (EPM7256 family) uses EEPROM-based configuration and supports 5 V-tolerant MultiVolt I/O, while the MAX II (EPM240/EPM570 families) uses flash configuration with lower static power and a smaller die. Both are in-system programmable via JTAG and share the Quartus Prime tool flow. Choose MAX 7000A when 5 V I/O is required; choose MAX II for new low-power designs.

Руководство по выбору

Choose the EPM7256AEFC100-7 when you need the fastest MAX 7000A speed grade (7.5 ns tPD) in a compact 100-FBGA package with 5 V MultiVolt I/O. It is ideal for 33 MHz PCI decode, industrial bus bridges, and ASIC-prototype glue logic where instant-on EEPROM configuration is mandatory. Choose the EPM7256AEFC100-10N for cost-sensitive designs where 10 ns tPD suffices. Choose the EPM7256AEFI100-7 for industrial temperature (-40C to +85C). Choose the EPM7256AETC100-7 only if you need a through-hole-friendly TQFP package and accept a different PCB land pattern. For new designs without 5 V I/O requirements, the MAX II EPM570 family offers lower static power and a more modern Quartus flow.

Заметки по проектированию

Estimated: at fMAX = 126.6 MHz with 84 I/Os toggling, ICCINT draws approximately 30-50 mA from the 3.3 V VCCINT rail. Decouple each VCCINT ball cluster with a 0.1 uF X7R ceramic placed within 3 mm of the ball. Use a shared 10 uF tantalum or ceramic bulk capacitor at the regulator output. If MultiVolt is enabled, each VCCIO bank (VCCIO1, VCCIO2) requires its own 0.1 uF + 10 uF decoupling pair to suppress simultaneous-switching noise (SSN) on the 5 V-tolerant I/O.

The 100-FBGA at 11x11 mm uses 1.0 mm ball pitch, which requires 0.5 mm via-pad and 0.2 mm trace/space rules on a 4-layer PCB. Fanout the inner-row power and ground balls with short dog-bone or via-in-pad microvias for low inductance. Keep JTAG chain (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO) traces short and well-spaced from switching I/O to avoid programming glitches. The MAX 7000A device handbook recommends a continuous ground plane on layer 2 for SSN suppression.

Drive 5 V TTL loads from the MultiVolt I/O banks at VCCIO = 5 V with no external pull-ups. For 33 MHz PCI applications, source-terminate clock traces with 33 ohm series resistors at the CPLD output to damp reflections. When bridging to 2.5 V LVCMOS2 devices, set the relevant VCCIO bank to 2.5 V and avoid 5 V signal injection - the MultiVolt interface is unidirectional (5 V tolerant input, but VOH will not reach 5 V from a 2.5 V bank).

Do not confuse EPM7256AEFC100-7 (commercial temp, SnPb) with EPM7256AEFI100-7 (industrial temp) or EPM7256AEFC100-7N (Pb-free) - the package and pinout are identical but the qualification levels differ. The -7 speed grade (7.5 ns tPD) is the fastest; using -10 instead may violate 33 MHz PCI timing. Always program the security bit in production to lock the bitstream against field read-back, and verify the JTAG chain with the Quartus Prime programmer before generating the final bitstream.
