Product details

What this MAX II CPLD brings to the board

The Altera EPM1270GF256I5 is a MAX® II family CPLD packing 980 macrocells and 1270 logic elements in a 256-ball FBGA (17x17 mm). It gives you 212 user I/O, in-system programmability, and a 6.2 ns pin-to-pin delay — fast enough for address decoding, bus bridging, or state-machine consolidation without a separate configuration memory. Core supply runs 1.71 V to 1.89 V, and the -40°C to 100°C junction temperature range suits it for industrial control, motor-drive interface, or outdoor telecom line cards where the ambient can climb.

Sourcing reality — end-of-life and what to do

The EPM1270GF256I5 is end-of-life (EOL). Altera has stopped manufacturing it; we source it to order against an RFQ.

Surface-mount 256-ball FBGA, 17 mm square. Standard reflow profile for lead-free solder works; the package is RoHS-compliant.

Frequently asked questions

Is the EPM1270GF256I5 obsolete or end of life?

Yes, the EPM1270GF256I5 is end-of-life (EOL). Altera has discontinued production, so new inventory comes from the surplus and broker channel. We source it to order against an RFQ.

What is the difference between EPM1270GF256I5 and EPM1270F256C5?

The EPM1270GF256I5 is the industrial-temperature version (-40°C to 100°C), while the EPM1270F256C5 is the commercial-temperature version (0°C to 85°C). Both share the same 256-FBGA footprint, 980 macrocells, and 6.2 ns tpd.

What is the replacement for EPM1270GF256I5?

There is no official direct replacement from Altera. For a new design, Intel recommends the MAX 10 or MAX V families, but those require a board layout change. For an existing BOM, the best option is sourcing the EPM1270GF256I5 from the surplus channel.

Is EPM1270GF256I5 RoHS compliant?

Yes, the EPM1270GF256I5 is RoHS compliant per the original Altera material declaration.
