EPM7256AETC144-7N Genel Bakış

The Intel EPM7256AETC144-7N is a high-density, high-performance Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the MAX 7000A family, delivering 256 macrocells, 5,000 usable gates, and 120 user I/O pins in a 144-pin TQFP (20x20 mm) surface-mount package. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply (3.0 V to 3.6 V), supports in-system programmability (ISP) via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG, and offers a pin-to-pin propagation delay of 7.5 ns with a maximum counter frequency of 126.6 MHz.

A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile, flash- or EEPROM-based programmable logic device that sits between simple SPLDs/PLDs and FPGAs in the programmable-logic hierarchy. It contains multiple PAL-like logic array blocks (LABs) interconnected by a central programmable switch matrix. CPLDs are deterministic, boot in microseconds without external configuration memory, and are widely used for glue logic, bus interfacing, address decoding, state-machine control, and I/O expansion where predictable timing and instant-on behavior matter more than the very high logic density of an FPGA.

Key features include 16 logic array blocks (LABs), 256 macrocells distributed as 16 macrocells per LAB, JTAG-based in-system programmability, multi-voltage I/O support via JTAG-driven I/O standards, open-drain output option, programmable slew rate, and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C. The MAX 7000A architecture uses EEPROM configuration cells, so the device retains its logic when power is removed and requires no external boot PROM.

The device is fabricated on an advanced CMOS EEPROM process. Each macrocell contains a programmable AND/OR array, a flip-flop with selectable Clear/Preset/Clock, and an I/O control block with selectable registered or combinatorial output. The 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay (commercial grade) and 4.5 ns fast-option parts (MAX 7000AE) suit applications where deterministic, nanosecond-range timing replaces discrete 74-series glue logic and reduces board area and BOM count.

Typical applications include I/O expansion and glue logic for microcontrollers/MPUs, address decoding for memory-mapped buses, bus protocol bridging, peripheral control in industrial and telecom equipment, and state-machine-driven control logic in printers, routers, and test gear. The commercial 0 °C to 70 °C window suits indoor equipment; industrial designs requiring −40 °C to +85 °C should select the EPM7256AETI144-7N variant instead.

When designing with the EPM7256AETC144-7N, observe the 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply window carefully and reserve the four JTAG pins (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) plus a dedicated TRST/DEV_OE option. Inputs above 3.6 V will stress the EEPROM I/O cells; for 5 V-tolerant inputs consider the MAX 7000AE family or add external level shifters.

Tipik Uygulamalar

EPM7256AETC144-7N için uygundur 6 uygulamas: Microcontroller / MPU I/O Expansion, Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation, Industrial Control and Factory Automation, Legacy Bus Protocol Bridging, Telecom and Networking Line-Card Glue Logic, Test and Measurement Equipment.

🖥️

Microcontroller / MPU I/O Expansion

The EPM7256AETC144-7N is well suited to expanding the limited I/O of a microcontroller or microprocessor. With 120 user I/Os available on the 144-pin TQFP package and 256 macrocells, it adds parallel ports, keypad matrices, segment-LCD drive lines and sensor interfaces without burdening the host CPU. The 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay and 126.6 MHz counter frequency ensure deterministic timing for handshaking and interrupt generation. Power sequencing is straightforward because the MAX 7000A's EEPROM configuration boots in microseconds and needs no external boot PROM.

🔧

Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation

The EPM7256AETC144-7N consolidates wide address decoders that previously required multiple 74LS138/139 PLD packages into one 144-pin TQFP CPLD. Designers can map large memory regions for SRAM, DRAM, Flash and peripherals with sub-10 ns latency, freeing board area and shortening the BOM. The 5,000 usable gates are sufficient to implement several independent decode trees in one device, and JTAG-driven in-system programming makes late-stage address-map changes cheap. The 3.3 V I/O is compatible with most modern ARM and MIPS host buses.

🏭

Industrial Control and Factory Automation

For glue logic on PLC backplanes, motor-driver front-ends and sensor-conditioning boards, the EPM7256AETC144-7N delivers deterministic state-machine control, PWM generation and protocol bridging in a single CPLD. Designers should select the EPM7256AETI144-7N pin-compatible variant when the application operates in the −40 °C to +85 °C industrial window. The MAX 7000A's open-drain output option and programmable slew rate simplify interfacing to 24 V industrial buses through external level shifters, and JTAG boundary-scan speeds up board test on the production line.

🌐

Legacy Bus Protocol Bridging

The EPM7256AETC144-7N bridges legacy parallel buses (ISA, PC/104, VME) to modern processors without glue-logic sprawl. With 256 macrocells and 120 user I/Os it can implement full 16- or 32-bit bus transceivers, wait-state generators, interrupt controllers and DMA handshakes on one device. The 7.5 ns tpd keeps bus-cycle latency low and the JTAG port lets field engineers re-flash the bridge logic for new peripherals. Designers migrating from discrete 74FCT/74ABT logic packages find that one TQFP-144 CPLD replaces 8-15 discrete packages.

🌐

Telecom and Networking Line-Card Glue Logic

Inside telecom line cards the EPM7256AETC144-7N handles time-slot switching, framer-to-DSP handshaking, alarm-collection and clock-distribution functions. Its 256 macrocells are well-matched to a multi-channel serial-agile interface, while the 126.6 MHz maximum counter frequency supports common 77.76 MHz and 155 MHz telecom clocks divided down. The non-volatile EEPROM boot avoids external configuration memory and gives instant-on behavior required by hot-swap line cards; the commercial temperature grade suits temperature-controlled central-office environments.

🔧

Test and Measurement Equipment

The EPM7256AETC144-7N is ideal for the digital-control backplane of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and bench-top instruments where deterministic timing is mandatory. The 256 macrocells can implement trigger sequencers, channel-multiplexer control, display-timing generators and front-panel scan matrices in one device, while the JTAG TAP supports built-in self-test routines. The 7.5 ns tpd aligns with sub-100 MHz sample-rate handshakes, and the commercial temperature grade is comfortable for indoor lab environments; field-deployable units should select the EPM7256AETI144-7N industrial variant instead.

What is the logic capacity of the EPM7256AETC144-7N?
The EPM7256AETC144-7N delivers 256 macrocells organized as 16 logic array blocks (LABs) of 16 macrocells each, with 5,000 usable gates and up to 120 user I/O pins. According to the MAX 7000A datasheet, the device is fabricated on an EEPROM CMOS process that retains its configuration without an external boot PROM, giving it deterministic, instant-on behavior for glue-logic and bus-interface applications.
What is the propagation delay and maximum counter frequency of EPM7256AETC144-7N?
The EPM7256AETC144-7N has a maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay (tpd(1)) of 7.5 ns at the commercial temperature range, with a maximum counter frequency of 126.6 MHz. The MAX 7000AE (high-speed) sub-family delivers the same logic density at 4.5 ns tpd when timing margins are tight. These specifications make the part suitable for replacing multiple 74-series logic packages.
What supply voltage does the EPM7256AETC144-7N require?
The EPM7256AETC144-7N operates from a single 3.3 V supply with an internal VCC range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V. Inputs above 3.6 V stress the EEPROM I/O cells and require external level shifters. Designs migrating from 5 V MAX 7000 (non-A) parts must verify the rails; the 7000A family is a 3.3 V core and I/O device and is not 5 V-tolerant on its inputs.
How is the EPM7256AETC144-7N programmed in-system?
The EPM7256AETC144-7N supports in-system programmability through the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface on pins TDI, TDO, TMS and TCK, allowing board-level programming, JTAG boundary-scan testing, and field upgrades without removing the part. The MAX 7000A EEPROM configuration is non-volatile, so the device powers up with the last programmed logic and does not require an external configuration memory.
Is the EPM7256AETC144-7N still in production?
As of 2026-09-13, the EPM7256AETC144-7N is reported as obsolete by distributor inventory feeds; Altera/Intel discontinued the MAX 7000A family, with remaining stock sold through authorized distributors and the secondary market. New designs should consider the MAX V CPLD family or the MAX II Z series for low-cost, 3.3 V-compatible logic integration.
What is the difference between EPM7256AETC144-7N and EPM7256AETI144-7N?
Both parts share the same MAX 7000A die, 144-pin TQFP package, 256 macrocells, and 7.5 ns speed grade. The C-suffix variant (EPM7256AETC144-7N) is rated for the commercial 0 °C to 70 °C range, while the I-suffix variant (EPM7256AETI144-7N) is rated for industrial −40 °C to +85 °C. They are pin-to-pin compatible, so designers can drop either part onto the same PCB layout.
What is the difference between EPM7256AETC144-7N and EPM7256AETC144-10N?
Both parts share the MAX 7000A 144-pin TQFP package and 256-macrocell architecture; the -7N speed grade gives a 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay and 126.6 MHz counter frequency, while the -10N grade is a 10 ns / 100 MHz part. The -7N is preferred when timing margins are tight; the -10N is usually 15-20% cheaper and is fully pin-to-pin compatible in the same TQFP-144 footprint.
Where can I buy the EPM7256AETC144-7N today?
As of 2026-09-13, the EPM7256AETC144-7N is listed in stock at LCSC (USD 50.62 each) and is also available from authorized distributors DigiKey, Mouser, Arrow and Avnet on a quote basis due to the obsolete lifecycle status. XAIPART also stocks the part; check the live listing for current pricing, lead time and reel availability before placing orders.
What is the lead time for EPM7256AETC144-7N orders?
Because the EPM7256AETC144-7N is marked obsolete by Intel, distributor lead times vary from same-day (LCSC, in stock) to 6-12 weeks on quote-only channels. Authorized distributors typically only ship from existing inventory; orders for higher volumes should be confirmed in writing because new factory production is not available. XAIPART provides real-time stock and lead-time quotes on the product page.
How much does the EPM7256AETC144-7N cost?
As of 2026-09-13, LCSC lists the EPM7256AETC144-7N at USD 50.62 each at quantity 1. Volume breaks on the part typically drop the unit price toward USD 28-32 at 500-piece orders through the secondary market. Because the part is obsolete, pricing fluctuates with available inventory; treat any online price as indicative and request a firm quote for production quantities.
What is a drop-in replacement for the EPM7256AETC144-7N?
The best drop-in replacement is the EPM7256AETI144-7N, which shares the same TQFP-144 footprint and 7.5 ns speed grade but extends the temperature range to industrial −40 °C to +85 °C. Slower drop-in alternatives include the EPM7256AETC144-10N (10 ns, same package) and EPM7256AETC144-5N (5 ns, faster). Cross-brand options from Lattice and Xilinx exist but require PCB rework and are not drop-in replacements.
EPM7256AETC144-7N vs EPM7256AETC144-5N - which should I choose?
Choose the EPM7256AETC144-5N (5 ns pin-to-pin delay) when your design needs the tightest timing margin, such as high-speed bus decoding or fast state-machine feedback paths. Choose the EPM7256AETC144-7N (7.5 ns) for general-purpose glue logic and decoding where a 7.5 ns window is comfortable; the -7N is typically 8-12% cheaper and more available on the secondary market. Both share the identical TQFP-144 footprint.
Can the EPM7256AETC144-7N be used to replace discrete 74-series glue logic?
Yes, the EPM7256AETC144-7N is designed specifically to consolidate 74-series glue logic, address decoders, bus arbiters and state machines into a single 144-pin TQFP device. With 256 macrocells, 120 user I/Os and 7.5 ns propagation delay, it replaces dozens of discrete logic packages, reduces board area, simplifies routing, and adds the flexibility of in-system re-programming via JTAG.
Where do I download the EPM7256AETC144-7N datasheet PDF?
The official Intel MAX 7000A family datasheet (document MAX7000A) is hosted on the Intel Programmable Solutions Group website at intel.com under the MAX 7000 product page. Third-party datasheet mirrors (PDF) are available on Datasheets.com, GlobalSpec and FPGAkey, but always cross-check the revision letter against the Intel original before committing a design to silicon.
Where do I find the EPM7256AETC144-7N pinout and TQFP-144 footprint?
The TQFP-144 (20x20 mm) pinout for the EPM7256AETC144-7N is documented in the MAX 7000A datasheet pin tables and the per-package pin-out file. Standard naming is TQ144, 0.5 mm pitch, gull-wing leads, with the four JTAG pins (TDI/TDO/TMS/TCK) and four GND/VCC pairs in fixed positions across the whole MAX 7000A family. Mechanical land-pattern dimensions are in JEDEC MS-026.

Seçim Kılavuzu

Choose the EPM7256AETC144-7N when your design needs 200-256 macrocells of deterministic 3.3 V glue logic in a 144-pin TQFP and operates in the commercial 0 C to 70 C window. Pick the EPM7256AETI144-7N for industrial -40 C to +85 C deployments that need the same 7.5 ns timing on the same footprint. Choose the EPM7256AETC144-5N when timing margins are tight (5 ns tpd, sub-100 MHz decoder chains), or the EPM7256AETC144-10N when cost dominates and a 10 ns tpd is acceptable. Avoid cross-brand alternatives from Lattice (ispMACH 4000) and Xilinx (XC9500XL) because none share the TQFP-144 footprint with the MAX 7000A family - they require PCB rework and are not drop-in replacements.

Tasarım Notları

Estimated: with VCC = 3.3 V, all 120 I/O switching at 10 MHz, 15 pF load, ICC is approximately 60-90 mA (vendor datasheet typical). Place a 0.1 uF X7R ceramic decoupling capacitor within 3 mm of every VCC/GND pair on the TQFP-144 footprint and add a single 10 uF bulk capacitor on each side of the package. The MAX 7000A EEPROM draws a brief (<= 200 ms per datasheet) programming current during JTAG in-system programming, so reserve at least 150 mA of headroom in your 3.3 V rail budget to avoid droop during ISP.

Reserve the four JTAG pins (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) on a dedicated 4-pin 2.54 mm header or 1.27 mm Tag-Connect footprint so engineers can re-program or boundary-scan the part on the bench and in production. The DEV_CLRn and DEV_OE pins must each have a defined logic level (pull-up or pull-down) at power-up; leaving them floating can cause random macrocell reset or tri-state behavior during boot. Keep high-speed outputs (counter clocks, address strobes) short and route them on the top layer over a continuous ground plane to control crosstalk and EMI.

Do not apply inputs above 3.6 V to the EPM7256AETC144-7N; the MAX 7000A I/O cells are not 5 V-tolerant and an over-voltage input can permanently damage the EEPROM sense circuitry. For designs that need 5 V interfacing, either select a 5 V MAX 7000 (non-A) variant or add external resistor-divider / level-shifter networks. Also confirm that VCC ramps monotonically between 0 V and 3.3 V at power-up; a slow or bouncing supply rail can put the device into an indeterminate state and cause POR-related macrocell glitches on the first clock cycle.
