With 440 macrocells and 570 logic elements, this part sits above the 128-macrocell MAX 7000 peers (EPM7128BFC256-7, EPM7128ALC84-6, EPM7128BUC169-4) while staying in a 100-pin TQFP. The 5.4 ns tpd gives a tighter timing budget than the 7.5 ns of the EPM7128BFC256-7, which matters when the CPLD sits between a fast processor bus and multiple peripherals. If your design needs more than 76 I/O or a wider logic fabric, the same MAX II family offers higher-density packages; if you need less, the 128-macrocell parts save board area.
Programming and design flow
The device is in-system programmable via the JTAG interface, supported by Altera's Quartus II software. The MAX II family uses a flash-based configuration that retains the logic image on power-up without an external configuration memory. For a board rework or repair technician, the 100-TQFP (14x14 mm) is a standard fine-pitch package that reflows with typical lead-free profiles; store the reels in a dry cabinet per the moisture-sensitivity label.
