EPM3512AQC208-10N CPLD MAX 3000A 512-macrocell 3.3V in-system programmable logic Overview
The EPM3512AQC208-10N is a high-density Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from Intel (formerly Altera), belonging to the MAX 3000A family. This device integrates 512 macrocells, providing a robust and flexible solution for medium-complexity digital logic designs. Built on advanced CMOS technology, it delivers high performance with a pin-to-pin delay as low as 10ns, making it suitable for timing-critical applications. The QC208 package (208-pin Quad Flat Pack) offers a high I/O count, while the -10N speed grade ensures reliable operation in industrial environments with a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
The EPM3512AQC208-10N features in-system programmability (ISP) via JTAG (IEEE 1149.1), allowing for easy field upgrades and debugging. It supports 3.3V operation with 5V-tolerant I/Os, enabling seamless integration into mixed-voltage systems. The device includes programmable power-saving modes, reducing static power consumption in idle states. With up to 172 user I/O pins, it provides ample connectivity for complex logic implementations. Additional features include individual output enable control, programmable slew rate, and hot-socketing capability, ensuring safe insertion and removal in live circuits.
This CPLD is widely used in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and embedded computing. Its high logic density, fast response times, and low power consumption make it ideal for state machine control, interface bridging, and glue logic consolidation. The MAX 3000A architecture ensures design security with programmable bitstream encryption, protecting intellectual property in competitive markets.
