Altera EPM7128SQC160-6N High-Performance CPLD - 128 Macrocells, 6ns Speed
The Altera EPM7128SQC160-6N is a cutting-edge Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) designed for high-speed, low-power embedded applications. As part of Altera's MAX 7000S family, this EE PLD (Electrically Erasable Programmable Logic Device) delivers exceptional performance with a maximum propagation delay of just 6 nanoseconds, making it perfect for time-critical operations. With 128 macrocells and 2,500 gates, it provides ample logic capacity for complex digital designs while operating at a stable 5V supply voltage (4.75V 5.25V). The 160-PQFP package (28 28mm) ensures easy PCB integration, and its 100 I/O pins offer extensive connectivity options for peripheral interfacing.
Engineers will appreciate the EPM7128SQC160-6N's 8 logic blocks and industrial temperature range (0 C to 70 C), which guarantee reliability across diverse environments. Its in-system programmability allows for field upgrades, reducing development cycles. The device supports JTAG boundary-scan testing (IEEE Std. 1149.1) for enhanced system debugging. With a typical standby current of 50 A, it excels in power-sensitive applications. Altera's Quartus II software provides seamless design implementation, from schematic entry to JEDEC file generation.
This CPLD shines in telecommunication infrastructure, where its 6ns speed enables real-time signal processing in base stations and network switches. In industrial automation, it implements PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) with precise timing control. Consumer electronics leverage its I/O flexibility for display drivers and input interfaces. Medical devices benefit from its deterministic latency in diagnostic equipment. The EPM7128SQC160-6N also finds use in automotive systems, military avionics, and test/measurement instruments where reliable programmable logic is paramount.
