Product Overview

EPM7256EQC160-15 is a high-performance programmable logic device (PLD) in Altera's MAX 7000E family, based on the second-generation MAX architecture with EEPROM technology. It features 5,000 usable gates and 256 macrocells, designed for complex logic integration. With a 160-Pin QFP package (EQC160) and -15 speed grade, combined with enhanced global clocking and multi-voltage I/O interfaces, it is widely used in industrial control, communication equipment, and embedded systems, representing high logic density and reliability in the MAX 7000 series.

Key Features

• High Logic Density: 5,000 usable gates, 256 macrocells, and 16 logic array blocks (LABs) support integration of complex logic functions, meeting multi-module circuit design needs.
• Enhanced Performance: With -15 speed grade, it offers 15ns pin-to-pin delay (tPD) and a maximum internal global clock frequency (fCNT) of 76.9MHz, ensuring high-speed logic operations.
• Flexible Expansion: Supports shareable and parallel expanders, allowing each macrocell to extend up to 32 product terms for complex combinational and sequential logic.
• Multi-Voltage Compatibility: Features MultiVolt™ I/O interface (except 44-pin packages), enabling direct interconnection with 3.3V/5.0V systems for mixed-voltage environments.
• High Reliability: Includes a programmable security bit to protect proprietary designs, with EEPROM supporting 100 erase/program cycles and industrial-grade operating temperature range (-40 to 85°C).

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications
