EPM7032BLC44-3 CPLD - High-Performance Programmable Logic Device | Intel (Altera)
The EPM7032BLC44-3 is a high-performance Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) originally developed by Altera (now Intel). This versatile IC integrates 32 macrocells and 600 gates, making it ideal for complex digital designs requiring rapid signal processing. With a propagation delay of just 3.5 ns and an operating voltage range of 2.375V to 2.625V, it delivers reliable performance for embedded systems. The device supports In-System Programmability (ISP), allowing engineers to reconfigure logic without removing the chip from the circuit board. Housed in a compact 44-PLCC package, it s designed for surface-mount assembly, saving space in industrial control, automotive, and communication applications.
This CPLD operates within a 0 C to 70 C temperature range, ensuring stability in moderate environments. Its 36 I/O pins provide extensive connectivity, while the J-lead 44-LCC package ensures mechanical durability. Although marked as obsolete, the EPM7032BLC44-3 remains a go-to solution for legacy systems due to its proven reliability and flexibility. Key parameters like its 2 logic blocks and low-power design further enhance its suitability for upgrades or replacements in aging electronics.
The EPM7032BLC44-3 excels in applications demanding real-time processing and custom logic integration. Its macrocell architecture supports state machines, counters, and data routing, while the ISP feature simplifies prototyping and field updates. Engineers appreciate its compatibility with Altera s development tools, enabling seamless integration into existing workflows. The device s 600-gate capacity and 3.5 ns response time make it a cost-effective alternative to FPGAs for mid-complexity designs.
Common uses include industrial automation (PLC interfaces, motor control), telecommunications (signal routing, protocol conversion), and consumer electronics (display drivers, input processing). Its robustness also suits automotive subsystems like dashboard controls and sensor interfaces. For medical devices, the CPLD s precision timing ensures accurate data acquisition. With competitive pricing and assured quality, the EPM7032BLC44-3 bridges the gap for projects requiring legacy component support without compromising performance.
