The -40°C to 100°C junction temperature rating qualifies it for outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor motor drives, and engine-bay electronics where commercial-grade parts would drift out of spec. In-system programmability via JTAG means firmware updates or logic revisions happen on the assembled board — no socket, no UV eraser.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
Is EPM1270F256I5N obsolete or end-of-life?
Yes, the EPM1270F256I5N is end-of-life (hot) — Intel has discontinued production and the last-time-buy window has closed. Sourcing is limited to the independent surplus market.
What is EPM1270F256I5N's pinout and package dimensions?
The EPM1270F256I5N comes in a 256-ball FBGA package with a 17x17 mm body. The pinout is defined in the MAX II device family datasheet; the 212 user I/O are mapped across the BGA ball grid. We recommend referencing the official Intel pinout file for your specific design.
What is a direct replacement for EPM1270F256I5N?
There is no official direct replacement from Intel for this exact speed and temperature grade. The commercial-grade EPM1270F256C5N (0°C to 85°C) is the same die but with a narrower temperature range — verify your board's thermal requirements before substituting.
Is EPM1270F256I5N compatible with 3.3V logic?
Yes, the EPM1270F256I5N supports a 2.5V or 3.3V internal supply, making it directly compatible with 3.3V logic families. I/O banks can be configured for 3.3V or 2.5V levels per the MAX II user guide.
What is the difference between EPM1270F256I5N and EPM1270F256C5N?
The EPM1270F256I5N is the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 100°C junction), while the EPM1270F256C5N is the commercial grade (0°C to 85°C). All other specs — logic density, I/O count, package, speed — are identical.
