EPM1270F256C5 - MAX® II CPLD 1270 logic elements 5V-tolerant I/O CPLD
The EPM1270F256C5 is a high-density Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from Intel (formerly Altera), part of the MAX® II family. It features 1,270 logic elements (LEs), 8,128 usable gates, and 256-pin FineLine BGA packaging, making it ideal for glue logic, I/O expansion, and control applications. Operating at 5V-tolerant I/O with a 1.8V core voltage, this CPLD delivers low power consumption, fast propagation delays, and high reliability for industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics designs.
Key Features
The EPM1270F256C5 offers non-volatile flash memory for instant-on operation, eliminating the need for external configuration memory. It supports in-system programmability (ISP) via JTAG interface, enabling easy firmware updates. With 116 user I/O pins, 80 MHz maximum operating frequency, and 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V multi-voltage support, it provides flexible interfacing with various digital systems. Its fast pin-to-pin delays (4.5 ns typical) ensure high-speed logic processing, while low standby power (as low as 25 µA) makes it suitable for battery-powered applications.
Applications
This CPLD is widely used in system control logic, bus interfacing, protocol bridging (UART, SPI, I2C), and power sequencing in embedded systems. It is commonly found in industrial automation, automotive infotainment, medical devices, and telecom infrastructure, where real-time signal processing and I/O management are critical. Its high noise immunity and robust ESD protection make it suitable for harsh environments.
Reliability and Compliance
Intel ensures high manufacturing quality with strict testing for signal integrity, power efficiency, and long-term reliability. The device is RoHS compliant and meets industrial-grade ESD protection standards (2kV HBM). Its non-volatile flash technology ensures data retention for over 20 years, making it a dependable choice for mission-critical systems.
