Product details

What this MAX II CPLD brings to the board

The Intel EPM1270F256A5N is a MAX® II family CPLD packing 980 macrocells and 212 I/O in a 256-BGA. It's in-system programmable, runs on either 2.5 V or 3.3 V internal supply, and delivers a 6.2 ns pin-to-pin delay. That propagation delay is the headline number for timing-critical decode, address mapping, or bus bridging — it sets the window for signal settling before the next clock edge.

Lifecycle — active but keep an eye on the horizon

The product status is Active. The field flags eol_hot, indicating end-of-life planning is underway.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between EPM1270F256A5N and EPM1270F256C5N?

The A5N variant is rated for -40°C to 125°C (industrial/military temperature range), while the C5N variant is rated for 0°C to 85°C (commercial temperature range). All other specs — macrocells, I/O, speed, package — are identical.

Where can I find the datasheet for EPM1270F256A5N?

The datasheet is available from Intel's website under the MAX II family documentation. Search for 'MAX II Device Handbook' or the base product number EPM1270.

What are the drop-in replacements or equivalent parts for EPM1270F256A5N?

No official drop-in replacement is listed in the record. The EPM240F100C5N is a smaller MAX II CPLD (192 macrocells, 80 I/O, commercial temp) but is not a functional equivalent due to lower density and different temperature grade. For a true replacement, consider the EPM1270F256C5N if your application does not require the extended temperature range.
