What are its key features?
CPLD from the MAX® 7000 family, ~5,000 usable gates, 256 macrocells, EEPROM-based non-volatile logic, 5V operation, in-system programmability via JTAG, fast pin-to-pin delay (~5 ns), and 192-pin CPGA package.
What is it used for?
Used in industrial control, communication systems, interface logic, address decoding, and legacy system designs requiring stable and reprogrammable logic.
Are there alternative parts?
Yes, alternatives include other MAX 7000 series devices (such as EPM7128 or EPM7032), Intel (Altera) MAX II series, and CPLDs from Xilinx (XC9500 series) or Lattice with similar logic capacity and voltage requirements.
