General Description

MAX 7000A (including MAX 7000AE) devices are high-density, high-performance devices based on Altera’s second-generation MAX architecture.

Features...

■ High-performance 3.3-V EEPROM-based programmable logic

devices (PLDs) built on second-generation Multiple Array MatriX

(MAX®) architecture (see Table 1)

■ 3.3-V in-system programmability (ISP) through the built-in

IEEE Std. 1149.1 Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface with

advanced pin-locking capability

– MAX 7000AE device in-system programmability (ISP) circuitry

compliant with IEEE Std. 1532

– EPM7128A and EPM7256A device ISP circuitry compatible with

IEEE Std. 1532

■ Built-in boundary-scan test (BST) circuitry compliant with

IEEE Std. 1149.1

■ Supports JEDEC Jam Standard Test and Programming Language

(STAPL) JESD-71

■ Enhanced ISP features

– Enhanced ISP algorithm for faster programming (excluding

EPM7128A and EPM7256A devices)

– ISP_Done bit to ensure complete programming (excluding

EPM7128A and EPM7256A devices)

– Pull-up resistor on I/O pins during in-system programming

■ Pin-compatible with the popular 5.0-V MAX 7000S devices
