Product details

MAX II CPLD with 980 macrocells — what it fits

The Intel EPM1270F256I5 is a MAX® II CPLD packing 980 macrocells and 212 I/O in a 256-ball FBGA (17x17 mm). It is in-system programmable, instant-on, non-volatile — no external configuration memory needed. The 6.2 ns pin-to-pin delay (tpd1) is fast enough for address decoding, bus arbitration, or control signal steering in systems running at moderate clock rates.

980 vs 192 macrocells — the density gap

The EPM1270F256I5 has 980 macrocells and 212 I/O. The EPM240F100C5N has 192 macrocells and 80 I/O.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between EPM1270F256I5 and EPM1270F256C5?

The suffix 'I' vs 'C' indicates temperature grade. The EPM1270F256I5 is rated -40°C to 100°C (industrial), while the C5 variant is 0°C to 85°C (commercial). All other specs — 980 macrocells, 212 I/O, 6.2 ns, 256-BGA — are identical. The I-grade part is the one to specify for outdoor or factory-floor use.

Where can I buy EPM1270F256I5?

EPM1270F256I5 is sourced through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — stock is confirmed at quote time, no firm count is listed here.

Can I use EPM1270F256I5 as a replacement for EPM1270F256C5?

Yes, the I-grade (industrial temperature) is a drop-in replacement for the C-grade (commercial) in the same package. The pinout, macrocell count, and timing are identical. The only difference is the wider temperature range of the I-grade, which adds headroom in hot environments.

What is the operating temperature range of EPM1270F256I5?

The EPM1270F256I5 is rated for -40°C to 100°C junction temperature (TJ), making it suitable for industrial and automotive-adjacent environments.

What is EPM1270F256I5's listed series?

It belongs to the MAX® II series of CPLDs from Intel (formerly Altera).
