The EPM3256ATC144-7N is a high-performance, programmable logic device from Intel’s renowned MAX® 3000A series, a category dedicated to CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices). This component, now considered obsolete, comes packaged in a tray, with a 144-LQFP (Low Quad Flat Pack) encapsulation that ensures a compact footprint while providing robust functionality. Designed for surface mount technology, it perfectly fits the modern, high-density PCB design requirements, allowing for efficient utilization of board space.

This CPLD operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (TA), making it suitable for a wide range of applications across different thermal environments. With its 144-TQFP (20×20) supplier device package, it ensures seamless integration into diverse electronic assemblies, emphasizing the component’s flexibility in use.

Notably, the EPM3256ATC144-7N boasts a substantial number of I/O (Input/Output) ports, offering 116 options. This feature is a key highlight for systems requiring extensive connectivity and high-speed logic interfaces. The ample I/O capability makes this device particularly valuable in the development of complex digital systems, where flexibility and the ability to handle multiple signals simultaneously are indispensable.

Intel’s MAX® 3000A series, including the EPM3256ATC144-7N, is traditionally applied in sectors demanding high-level logic solutions and sophisticated digital integration. These sectors range from telecommunication infrastructure, automotive electronics, consumer electronics, and even into more specialized applications within industrial and medical device manufacturing. Despite its status as obsolete, this CPLD remains a testament to Intel’s legacy in pushing the boundaries of programmable logic technology.
