It is in-system programmable (ISP) via JTAG, allowing programming after soldering. The core runs from 1.71 V to 1.89 V.
The package is a 256-ball Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) measuring 17 mm by 17 mm, providing 212 user I/O pins.
The EPM240F100C5N has 192 macrocells versus 980, 80 I/O versus 212, and a 4.7 ns tpd versus 6.2 ns. The EPM1270 is for medium-density logic integration.
No, the EPM1270GF256C3N is an Active product. Intel still manufactures it; there is no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window in effect.
There is no official successor part listed. The same EPM1270 die in a different package or speed grade (e.g., the C3 variant) is the only direct drop-in. For a smaller logic footprint, the EPM240F100C5N shares the MAX II architecture but has fewer macrocells and I/O.
The pinout is defined by the 256-ball FBGA footprint. The device has 212 user I/O pins plus dedicated JTAG, clock, and power balls. The exact ball-map is in the MAX II device handbook — the base product number EPM1270 shares the same pinout across speed grades in the same package.
This part is sourced through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ through this listing; availability and pricing are confirmed at quote time against current market inventory.
The suffix C3N versus C3 indicates a packaging or material-set change — typically lead-free / RoHS compliance. The C3N variant is the current, RoHS-compliant version. Electrically and functionally they are identical: same 980 macrocells, 6.2 ns tpd, and 212 I/O.
