Altera EPM7256EGC192-12EM Field Programmable Gate Array

Altera EPM7256EGC192-12EM is a MAX 7000 family EPLD/CPLD housed in a ceramic 192-pin PGA package with gold-plated leads, designed for speed grade -12 and a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 12 ns. It operates from a 4.5–5.5 V supply and ships in a 192-pin PGA footprint measuring about 44.7 × 44.7 mm, making it suitable for compact boards that require moderate logic density. As part of the MAX 7000 family, it supports traditional Altera design flows such as MAX+PLUS II for configuration and programming, aligning with applications that need deterministic glue logic, simple state machines, address decoding, and peripheral interfacing in embedded systems. The ceramic package and PGA form factor offer robust mechanical stability for both socketed and surface-mounted implementations in legacy hardware projects, while enabling reliable signal integrity in moderate-speed digital logic tasks.
