EPM7192EGI160-20 Overview
A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile programmable logic device that combines multiple PAL/GAL-style macrocell blocks on a single die, providing deterministic, interconnect-rich logic replacement for dozens of SSI/MSI chips. Within the broader taxonomy, the EPM7192EGI160-20 belongs to: CPLD -> programmable logic device -> logic IC -> integrated circuit. MAX 7000 devices use second-generation, EEPROM-based architecture that retains the bitstream when power is removed, eliminating the need for external boot PROMs and enabling in-system programmability via the IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG interface.
Key features include 192 macrocells, 36 user I/O pins, 4 dedicated inputs, in-system programmability (ISP) through JTAG, and 5.0 V core operation. The device provides predictable timing with fixed propagation delays, multi-voltage I/O support for 3.3 V and 5 V interfaces, and a programmable power-saving mode that reduces individual macrocell power when logic is idle, while an enhanced security bit protects user designs from unauthorized read-back.
The MAX 7000 architecture implements each macrocell as a product-term array feeding a programmable register, with a shared programmable interconnect array (PIA) routing signals between LABs. The EEPROM process technology allows unlimited reconfiguration cycles via JTAG, supporting field upgrades and rapid prototyping. The 4-LAB organization enables wide logic integration for state machines, address decoding, and bus-interface glue logic.
Typical applications include bus-interface bridging, address decoding and wait-state generation, glue logic replacement around microprocessors and DSPs, peripheral control in industrial systems, and rapid prototyping of glue logic on 5 V legacy boards. The wide-gate count and JTAG ISP make it suitable for production designs that need flexibility without an FPGA.
When designing with this part, observe 5 V supply tolerance on inputs and use level shifters for 3.3 V logic interfaces; the JTAG chain can remain populated during in-circuit test for board-level diagnostics. Decouple the VCC pins with 0.1 uF ceramic capacitors placed close to the package, and consult the manufacturer datasheet for the full PGA pin assignment.

Typical Applications
EPM7192EGI160-20 is suitable for 6 applications: Bus-Interface Bridging and Address Decoding, Legacy 5 V Industrial Control Glue Logic, State-Machine and Peripheral Control Logic, Rapid Prototyping and Field Upgradable Designs, DSP and Microprocessor Peripheral Expansion, Test and Measurement Interface Logic.
Bus-Interface Bridging and Address Decoding
The EPM7192EGI160-20 fits bus-interface bridging because its 192 macrocells comfortably absorb address-latch, chip-select, and wait-state generation logic that legacy microprocessors and DSPs need on 5 V systems. With 36 user I/Os and 4 dedicated inputs, the device can decode a full 24-bit address bus while leaving headroom for handshake glue. Its 20 ns tpd keeps address-to-CS latency below one 33 MHz bus cycle, and the JTAG ISP lets engineers iterate the decode map without removing the chip from the board. Place the device between the CPU address bus and the peripheral chip-select decoder; use a 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling cap on each VCCINT pin.
Recommended
Legacy 5 V Industrial Control Glue Logic
The EPM7192EGI160-20 is purpose-built for 5 V industrial control because its 5.0 V VCCINT and 5 V-tolerant I/Os interface directly to TTL logic, opto-isolators, and 5 V sensors without level shifters. Industrial temperature grade (-40C to +85C) supports factory-floor enclosures, motor-control cabinets, and outdoor equipment. The 192 macrocells consolidate dozens of 74-series logic chips into one programmable device, simplifying BOM and reducing board area. Use it to replace a stack of 74HC/74F glue logic around a microcontroller; design power-saving mode into unused LABs to lower quiescent draw in battery-backed systems.
Recommended
State-Machine and Peripheral Control Logic
The EPM7192EGI160-20 fits state-machine and peripheral-control roles because its macrocell architecture provides product-term-rich registered logic optimized for sequential control, freeing the host CPU from real-time bit-banging. With up to 192 macrocells, designers can implement complex multi-state controllers for sensors, motor drivers, or display subsystems. The 20 ns tpd supports real-time response at industrial control loop rates. Mount the CPLD close to the controlled peripherals to minimize trace delay; use the dedicated INPUT/GCLK pins for global clock distribution to all 4 LABs.
Recommended
Rapid Prototyping and Field Upgradable Designs
The EPM7192EGI160-20 is ideal for prototyping because JTAG-based in-system programmability lets designers iterate the design without removing the part from the board, while EEPROM configuration retains the bitstream across power cycles without a boot PROM. Field upgrades are simply a JTAG rewrite, enabling remote firmware updates on industrial controllers. The 192 macrocells accommodate full prototype revisions without resorting to a larger device. Plan for a 4-pin JTAG header (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI plus optional TRST) accessible at the board edge for production programming.
Recommended
DSP and Microprocessor Peripheral Expansion
The EPM7192EGI160-20 fits peripheral expansion around a DSP or microprocessor because its 192 macrocells and 36 I/Os can host multiple chip-select decoders, interrupt controllers, and FIFO flag logic simultaneously. The deterministic 20 ns tpd ensures predictable peripheral access timing for real-time DSP algorithms. The 5 V-tolerant I/Os interface directly to legacy DSP peripheral buses. Use the CPLD to expand peripheral count without redesigning the host board; synchronize CPLD outputs to the host clock via the GCLK pin to avoid metastability in interrupt paths.
Recommended
Test and Measurement Interface Logic
The EPM7192EGI160-20 suits test-and-measurement interfaces because its deterministic timing, JTAG chain integration, and 5 V I/O tolerance support bench instruments and ATE fixtures. The CPLD can route stimulus signals, gate triggers, and arbitrate bus contention inside a measurement chassis. The 160-pin CPGA package is socketable, simplifying rework in lab setups and easing board bring-up. Include the CPLD in the board-level JTAG scan chain so boundary-scan diagnostics cover its I/O pins along with the rest of the system; this aids in prototype fault isolation.

Key Differentiators
- Drop-in industrial-temp speed grade in the same 160-pin CPGA package (vs EPM7192EGI160-15)
- Industrial temperature grade in a 160-pin CPGA package (vs EPM7192EGC160-12)
- Pin-compatible upgrade path across the EPM7192 speed grade matrix (vs EPM7192EQC160-15)
Design Notes
Decouple every VCCINT pin with a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the pin, and add a bulk 10-47 uF tantalum or electrolytic capacitor at the supply entry point. The MAX 7000 family draws transient current during JTAG programming and global clock toggling; insufficient decoupling causes VCC droop that can corrupt ISP operations. On 160-pin CPGA, VCC pins are distributed across the array; verify each VCC position on the pinout before laying out the PCB.
Place a 4-pin JTAG header (TCK, TMS, TDO, TDI, plus optional TRST and GND) at the board edge for production programming. Include the CPLD in the board-level JTAG chain with TDI/TDO routed to maintain scan order. The dedicated INPUT/GCLK pins should connect to the global clock source through short, impedance-controlled traces; long traces cause clock skew across the 4 LABs and degrade fCNT performance at the 62.5 MHz ceiling.
Do not assume the EPM7192EGI160-20 is 3.3 V tolerant - inputs and I/Os are 5 V TTL/CMOS levels per the MAX 7000 datasheet. Connecting 3.3 V logic directly is safe but interfacing to 1.8 V or 2.5 V requires level shifters. Also avoid leaving JTAG pins floating; tie TMS and TDI high through 10 kohm pull-ups to keep the TAP controller in a known state during normal operation and prevent accidental ISP reconfiguration from board noise.
Compliance Information
Compliance status not stated in the verified web data; ceramic PGA packages are typically lead-bearing. Consult the manufacturer datasheet package marking for definitive RoHS/lead-free status.
