EPM7192SQC160-15 Overview
A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile programmable logic device that combines the deterministic timing of PAL/GAL architectures with the density of multiple macrocell logic array blocks (LABs) interconnected via a programmable interconnect matrix (PIA). CPLDs sit between simple SPLDs/PLDs and FPGAs in the programmable logic hierarchy, offering fast, predictable input-to-output delays (suitable for glue logic and bus decoding) and instant-on configuration from on-chip EEPROM β without the external boot flash an FPGA usually requires.
Key features include 4 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) of 36 macrocells, programmable interconnect with 100% connectivity, programmable output slew rate, JTAG boundary-scan support, and macrocell registers with individual clear, preset, clock, and clock-enable controls. Operating frequency is specified at 76.9 MHz with a worst-case 15 ns tPD. The PQFP-160 package gives 124 usable I/O pins, suitable for high-fanout glue-logic designs.
The MAX 7000S architecture uses an EEPROM-based configuration cell array, so the device retains its logic pattern with no external boot memory and can be reprogrammed in-circuit up to 100 cycles. The 5.0-V ISP interface uses the standard 4-wire JTAG TAP, simplifying board-level bring-up. Each macrocell supports combinatorial or registered operation with separate sum-of-products terms for both output enable and registered feedback, giving flexible control over tri-state buses and registered outputs.
Typical applications include bus interface bridging, address decoding and glue logic for microprocessor systems, peripheral controller hubs, JTAG-controlled board-level configuration, and replacement of multiple discrete 74LS/74F/74HC TTL packages. It is also used in legacy industrial controllers and avionics subsystems where instant-on, non-volatile logic is mandatory.
When designing with this part, pay attention to the 5 V VCC requirement and observe the JTAG ISP programming voltage levels. Decoupling should follow the manufacturer guidance with 0.1 Β΅F caps close to each VCC/GND pair. For new designs, consider MAX II or MAX V devices unless EEPROM-based instant-on is required.

Typical Applications
EPM7192SQC160-15 is suitable for 6 applications: Microprocessor Bus Decoder / Glue Logic, Industrial Controller Interface Hub, Legacy Avionics Subsystem Replacement, TTL-to-CMOS Logic Replacement, Peripheral Controller and Interface Bridging, Board-Level JTAG Configuration Manager.
Microprocessor Bus Decoder / Glue Logic
The EPM7192SQC160-15 is widely used as a fast, deterministic address and control signal decoder for 8/16/32-bit microprocessor buses. Its 15 ns pin-to-pin delay and 76.9 MHz fMAX allow decoding of address ranges, generation of chip-select (CS) signals, and bus-arbitration logic in a single device. The 124 user I/Os and 192 macrocells provide ample capacity for multi-bank memory and peripheral decoding schemes, while the EEPROM-based non-volatile configuration means the design comes up in the correct state at every power-on without an external boot PROM. The 5 V VCCIO compatibility matches legacy 5 V microprocessor buses.
Recommended
Industrial Controller Interface Hub
In industrial PLC and motor-drive controllers, the EPM7192SQC160-15 acts as a programmable I/O expander and signal-conditioning hub between the main CPU and field-side optocouplers. With 124 user I/Os, 3,750 usable gates, and 4 LABs, the device can implement custom timing, pulse-train generation, quadrature decoding, and safety interlocks in a single chip. The 5 V tolerant I/O matches 5 V logic levels common in industrial control, and the JTAG ISP allows firmware updates in the field without removing the board β important for installed-base retrofits and long-life industrial equipment.
Recommended
Legacy Avionics Subsystem Replacement
The EPM7192SQC160-15 is a drop-in replacement for legacy MAX 7000S designs in avionics subsystems where deterministic timing and instant-on non-volatile configuration are mandatory. Its 15 ns tPD is fast enough to replace discrete 74F/74LS glue logic across MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, and other avionics databuses. Because the part is EEPROM-based, it boots into its programmed state at power-on without any external boot flash, which simplifies the bill of materials and eliminates boot-time uncertainty β critical in DO-254 design assurance contexts. The PQFP-160 footprint matches legacy PCB layouts.
Recommended
TTL-to-CMOS Logic Replacement
The EPM7192SQC160-15 can replace dozens of discrete 74LS, 74F, and 74HC TTL packages on legacy boards, condensing wide-decode, multiplexer, counter, and shift-register networks into one 160-pin PQFP device. With 192 macrocells (equivalent to several hundred TTL gates) and programmable output slew-rate control, the CPLD also lets engineers clean up signal-integrity issues that plagued original TTL designs. JTAG ISP allows in-circuit updates for logic corrections without board rework, accelerating prototype iteration.
Recommended
Peripheral Controller and Interface Bridging
The EPM7192SQC160-15 is a strong fit for bridging legacy peripherals (UARTs, parallel ports, IDE/ATA, SCSI) to modern host controllers in industrial and embedded designs. Its 5 V I/O tolerance lets it talk directly to legacy 5 V peripherals without level shifters, while 124 user I/Os provide enough pins for multi-port bridging and DMA handshake logic. The non-volatile EEPROM means the bridge configuration is fixed at power-on, eliminating host-side bridge initialization that legacy operating systems may not support.
Recommended
Board-Level JTAG Configuration Manager
The EPM7192SQC160-15 can serve as a board-level JTAG controller, fanning out JTAG signals to multiple slaves, controlling TAP ordering, and providing optional built-in self-test (BIST) infrastructure. Its native IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface and 124 user I/Os make it ideal for production-test fixtures and board bring-up stations. The deterministic timing (15 ns tPD) ensures JTAG TCK fan-out and TMS routing remain within specification across all slaves, improving first-pass yield in manufacturing.

Key Differentiators
- 192-macrocell density in PQFP-160 with 124 user I/Os (vs EPM7160SQC160-10)
- EEPROM-based non-volatile configuration (vs MAX V CPLDs)
- 5.0 V native supply with 3.3 V VCCIO option (vs EPM7192SQC160-15N)
Design Notes
The EPM7192SQC160-15 requires a stable 5.0 V VCC supply, with multiple VCC pins distributed around the PQFP-160 package for each VCCIO bank. Place a 0.1 Β΅F decoupling capacitor as close as possible to every VCC/GND pin pair (typically 8-10 pairs across the package). Use a 10 Β΅F bulk decoupling capacitor at the supply entry point and a ferrite bead to isolate switching noise from upstream regulators, especially when the CPLD shares a 5 V rail with motors or relays.
For the PQFP-160 package, follow standard surface-mount layout guidelines: 0.5 mm pitch, 0.3 mm wide traces, ground plane on the layer immediately beneath the device to reduce EMI. Keep JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) routed as a group with controlled impedance and away from switching I/O lines to minimize crosstalk during in-system programming. Provide a JTAG header or test pad on the board for ISP access during prototype bring-up.
The MAX 7000S family supports programmable output slew-rate control; enable slow slew rate on outputs that drive long traces or cables to reduce EMI. Avoid using long (>50 mm) unterminated traces on high-frequency outputs and consider series damping resistors (22-33 Ξ©) on clock-distribution outputs. Because the CPLD can toggle up to 76.9 MHz, ensure the VCCIO bank supply is well-decoupled β switching noise on VCCIO directly degrades output signal integrity.
Do not exceed 5.0 V on VCC or VCCIO pins β the MAX 7000S is a 5 V part and not 3.3 V tolerant on supply rails. Ensure VCC rises monotonically during power-on to avoid incomplete EEPROM programming. When using 3.3 V VCCIO for mixed-voltage designs, expect a slightly increased tOD delay (tOD2 instead of tOD1) per the datasheet. Always verify JTAG ISP programming with a known-good BSDL file before production programming.
