The EPM7256AETI100-7 CPLD by Intel is a high-performance component belonging to the renowned MAX® 7000A series, recognized for its advanced logic capabilities and flexibility in design. This product comes packaged in a tray, featuring a 100-TQFP (14×14) package/case format that facilitates surface mount technology. With an impressive array of 84 I/O ports, it caters to complex digital logic designs, allowing for extensive interfacing and control options.

Designed to operate within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C (TA), the EPM7256AETI100-7 ensures reliability and robust performance in varied environmental conditions. The specified operating temperature range highlights its suitability for use in demanding applications across multiple industries, including telecommunications, automotive, and industrial control systems, where stability under thermal stress is crucial.

Notably, this complex programmable logic device (CPLD) is marked as obsolete, indicating a shift in market availability and potentially emphasizing the collector’s or legacy system maintainer’s value. As an obsolete component, it represents a critical resource for maintaining existing systems or creating specialized devices where newer generations of CPLDs may not be compatible or desired.

Intel’s MAX® 7000A series, including the EPM7256AETI100-7, is distinguished by its integration of the Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) technology, enabling the reprogramming of logic functions in the circuit without needing replacement, thereby offering enhanced design flexibility and reduced development times. This characteristic makes it an ideal choice for rapid prototyping and iterative design processes in electronics development.
