EPM5128JI - 128-Macrocell MAX 5000 UV PLD | Intel / Altera
MPN： EPM5128JI ✗ 停產EPM5128JI 概覽
A UV-programmable Logic Device (PLD) is an early-generation programmable logic IC that uses floating-gate CMOS memory cells to store the user's logic. UV PLDs like the EPM5128JI are erased by exposing the die through a quartz window to ultraviolet light, then reprogrammed - which is why EPM5128JI is shipped in a ceramic windowed package. UV PLDs sit in the hierarchy: PLD -> programmable logic -> digital logic IC -> semiconductor. They preceded modern SRAM-based CPLDs and FPGAs and are still found in long-lifecycle industrial and military programs.
Key features include 128 macrocells, 55 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay (tPD), 40 MHz maximum internal operating frequency, CMOS technology with low standby current, JTAG-less in-system configuration support via the Altera MAX+plus II programming flow, and a 68-terminal ceramic CQCC (J-lead, windowed) package. The windowed ceramic carrier allows repeated erasure and reprogramming, which is why this package form factor remains common in legacy test, military, and avionics designs where code revisions are expected over a 20-30 year program lifetime.
The EPM5128JI uses Altera's classic MAX architecture: a global interconnect array feeding an AND/OR logic fabric followed by a configurable output macrocell with a programmable flip-flop. Because the device is pin-compatible with later MAX 5000 speed grades (-2, -1) and compatible with Altera's industry-standard MAX+plus II development flow, it remains a known quantity in maintenance and retrofit programs.
Typical applications include industrial control logic, legacy glue logic in military and avionics systems, custom state machines, address decoding, and bus-interface bridging. The wide operating temperature range and ceramic package make the EPM5128JI suitable for harsh-environment programs.
When designing with this device, note that 55 ns tPD is too slow for any high-speed synchronous interface - it is best used for control-plane logic, address decoding, and slow asynchronous glue. Programming requires a UV eraser and an Altera-compatible programmer, so for new designs consider the EPM5128JC (plastic PLCC) or a modern MAX II/MAX V CPLD instead.

典型應用
EPM5128JI 適用於 6 應用s: Military and Avionics Glue Logic, Industrial Control Logic, Custom State Machines, Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation, Legacy Bus-Interface Bridging, Test and Measurement Instrumentation.
Military and Avionics Glue Logic
The EPM5128JI's hermetic ceramic windowed CQCC package and industrial temperature grade make it ideal for military and avionics glue-logic designs that must survive 20-30 year program lifetimes. With 128 macrocells and 55 ns tPD, the device easily handles address decoding, custom state machines, and bus-interface bridging between legacy microprocessors (8086, 68000, MIL-STD-1750) and modern peripherals. Designers appreciate the UV-erasable window because it allows in-field code updates on deployed avionics LRUs without replacing the PCB. Pin-to-pin compatibility across the MAX 5000 family allows easy migration between speed grades (JI -> JC-1 -> JC-2) when timing margins need tightening.
推薦
Industrial Control Logic
Industrial control systems often integrate the EPM5128JI as custom glue logic between microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators. The 128-macrocell capacity is well-matched to PLC-style I/O expansion, encoder decoding, and protocol adaptation tasks, while the 55 ns tPD comfortably drives control-plane signals at industrial bus speeds. The CMOS process keeps standby current low, an important factor in always-on factory controllers, and the industrial temperature grade ("I" suffix) supports -40C to +85C operation typical of factory-floor enclosures. Designers can leverage existing Altera MAX+plus II toolchains still maintained in many long-running industrial programs.
推薦
Custom State Machines
The EPM5128JI's 128 macrocells provide ample capacity for sophisticated state machines used in protocol handling, sequencer logic, and test equipment. Each macrocell contains a flip-flop and configurable combinational logic, allowing designers to encode multi-state controllers with built-in registered outputs and asynchronous reset. The 40 MHz fMAX comfortably drives state machines clocked from common reference oscillators, and the 55 ns combinational tPD is fast enough to handle decoder logic feeding the registered outputs. The windowed ceramic package supports iterative development: state machines can be erased, refined, and reprogrammed during design bring-up.
推薦
Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation
The EPM5128JI is widely deployed as a multi-output address decoder in legacy computer architectures. With 128 macrocells, designers can implement wide-input AND/OR decoder trees that generate 16 to 32 chip-select outputs from a 24- or 32-bit address bus, including partial-decoding and qualifier logic. The CMOS low-power design makes it well-suited to always-powered decoding, and the 55 ns tPD fits comfortably within the access-time budgets of most SRAM, ROM, and peripheral devices from the 1980s-1990s design era. Drop-in compatibility across the MAX 5000 family allows easy speed-grade migration if memory timing tightens.
推薦
Legacy Bus-Interface Bridging
Legacy bus systems (ISA, VME, STD, Multibus) often need custom glue logic to bridge between different bus widths, signaling standards, or timing domains. The EPM5128JI's 128 macrocells handle 8-to-32 bit data steering, parity generation, and wait-state insertion logic, while its 40 MHz fMAX comfortably drives Multibus and VME architectures. The CMOS low standby current and industrial temperature grade fit industrial and military bus-interface cards, and the ceramic windowed carrier supports field updates when protocol revisions are required. Pin-to-pin compatibility across MAX 5000 speed grades allows timing-margin optimization without PCB redesign.
推薦
Test and Measurement Instrumentation
Test and measurement instruments benefit from the EPM5128JI's combination of UV-erasable programmability, 128 macrocells of logic, and industrial temperature grade. The device is well-suited to custom timing generators, pulse-width modulators, and digital-pattern generators used in lab instrumentation, with the 55 ns tPD providing fine timing resolution. The windowed ceramic carrier allows iterative calibration logic updates as measurement algorithms evolve, and the 68-pin CQCC package supports the high-pin-count I/O required to drive parallel DACs, ADCs, and display interfaces. Long-term availability through industrial distribution channels supports 10-15 year instrument programs.

主要差異化特點
- UV-erasable ceramic windowed package (對比EPM5128JC)
- Hermetic ceramic CQCC package (對比EPM5128JC (plastic PLCC-68))
- Industrial temperature grade support (對比EPM5128GM883B (military 883B))
設計說明
Estimated: The ceramic CQCC package of the EPM5128JI provides excellent thermal conduction through the hermetic body to the PCB. At a typical CMOS standby current of a few mA and dynamic current dominated by I/O switching, self-heating is minimal (junction temperature rise well under 5C in most designs). Designers should still provide a ground-plane thermal bond directly under the ceramic body for maximum heat spreading in sealed aerospace enclosures where ambient temperatures can reach +85C.
Place the EPM5128JI on a continuous ground plane and route all VCC and GND pins directly to the plane with short, wide traces. Maintain at least 0.1uF decoupling capacitors within 5 mm of each VCC pin pair, with a bulk 10-33uF tantalum or ceramic capacitor on the board supply rail. Because the 68-pin CQCC has fine-pitch J-leads, follow IPC-7351 CQCC land-pattern recommendations and use NSMD pads with via-in-pad or micro-via fan-out to ensure reliable solder joint formation during rework.
Do not assume the EPM5128JI is RoHS compliant - the ceramic package uses tin-lead (SnPb) finish. Do not program the device without verifying the JEDEC file matches the silicon revision, and do not skip the post-programming UV erasure window - attempting to erase through the opaque plastic cap of the JI variant will damage the device. Always design with the 55 ns tPD as the slowest timing path, and verify fMAX against MAX+plus II timing reports for any design exceeding 30 MHz internal clocks.
Route the global clock and high-speed output nets first, then the I/O banks, with 50 ohm controlled impedance if the bus exceeds 25 MHz. Keep the JTAG/programming pins (or Altera proprietary programming interface for legacy MAX 5000) accessible at the board edge for in-system programming and verification. The 68-pin CQCC is pin-compatible with PLCC-68 sockets only when an adapter is used - never assume direct PCB land-pattern compatibility between CQCC and PLCC footprints.
