PN EPM7160STI100-10 and EPM7256SRI208-10 EOL; Need Replacement

Part numbers EPM7160STI100-10 and EPM7256SRI208-10 have been discontinued. Can you provide alternate parts for these two parts?

    Are you looking for a drop in functional replacement, or a next generation solution that will require a new PCB design?

    If the former, you are out of luck. That series went EOL years ago. Microchip/Atmel offers a direct functional drop in
    replacement for some members of the EPM7xxx series, but only 128 macrocells or smaller, and not a 208p package.
    For reference it is the ATF1500 series of programmable CPLD parts. Functional clones of the Altera EPM7000 series.
    Current production, and they have tools to translate Altera .POF files to their .JED program file format.
    But as I mentioned above they don't support more than 128 macrocells nor do they have a 208p package option.

    If the latter, it depends on what package options you require, what I/O and system voltages you want, and how much
    redesign you are capable of doing. I would have to assume you have the source verilog/vhdl, else you are going to be
    in a bit of a pickle as is said.

    You might want to look at either the MaxII, MaxV, or Max10 series parts that are in production now and will be for years.

      Hi,

      Thank you for your informative response. I've tried searching other OEMs to see if 160 to 256 macrocells exist but could not find any. I just would like to confirm that you are saying that 160 to 256 macrocells will not exist anywhere including not with Intel/Altera correct? I have attached our preferences in attributes. Are you able to suggest any parts from the MaxII, MaxV, or Max10 series that are close to matching our preferred attributes?

      Hi, I've looked over the MaxV series and saw that 100-TQFP and 144-TQFP seem to be close options. Can you provide all of the available part numbers for this series?

      Thanks,

      Patricia
