What this CPLD is and where it fits
It runs on a 3V to 3.6V internal supply, so it mates directly to a 3.3V rail without a separate regulator. The industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) qualifies it for factory-floor controls, outdoor telecom cabinets, and other environments where the board sees thermal cycling.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The EPM7128ATI144-10 carries an Active product status, meaning Altera (now part of Intel) still lists it as a current production device. There is no last-time-buy or end-of-life notice on record. The part is RoHS non-compliant (lead-bearing solder balls), so if your assembly line is RoHS-only, you will need to verify reflow compatibility or look at the lead-free suffix variants. For BOM planning, this part is sourced to order through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ.
