The EPM7256BUC169-5 is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MAX 7000B family of programmable logic devices (PLD) manufactured by Intel (formerly Altera). It is a high-density, high-performance programmable logic device that can be programmed to perform a wide range of functions based on user-defined logic equations.
Key Features of the EPM7256BUC169-5:
1. Logic Capacity: The EPM7256BUC169-5 offers a maximum amount of 256 macrocells (logic elements). These macrocells can be customized and interconnected to implement complex logic functions required for specific applications.
2. Programmability: The IC is programmable using a hardware description language (HDL) such as VHDL or Verilog. After programming, the logic equations are stored in non-volatile memory cells within the IC, allowing for the retention of the custom logic configuration even without power.
3. Advanced Functionality: The EPM7256BUC169-5 supports various advanced features, including programmable interconnect arrays, which allow flexible routing of signals between different macrocells. It also incorporates global clock networks, dedicated input/output pins, and specialized circuits for efficient implementation of arithmetic functions.
4. Speed and Performance: With a maximum propagation delay of 5ns, the EPM7256BUC169-5 operates at high speeds, enabling the execution of complex logic functions rapidly
