General Description
The MAX 7000 family of high-density, high-performance PLDs is based on Altera’s second-generation MAX architecture. Fabricated with advanced CMOS technology, the EEPROM-based MAX 7000 family provides 600 to 5,000 usable gates, ISP, pin-to-pin delays as fast as 5 ns, and counter speeds of up to 175.4 MHz.

Features...
■ High-performance, EEPROM-based programmable logic devices
   (PLDs) based on second-generation MAX® architecture
■ 5.0-V in-system programmability (ISP) through the built-in
   IEEE Std. 1149.1 Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface available in
   MAX 7000S devices
   – ISP circuitry compatible with IEEE Std. 1532
■ Includes 5.0-V MAX 7000 devices and 5.0-V ISP-based MAX 7000S
   devices
■ Built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (BST) circuitry in MAX 7000S
   devices with 128 or more macrocells
■ Complete EPLD family with logic densities ranging from 600 to
   5,000 usable gates (see Tables 1 and 2)
■ 5-ns pin-to-pin logic delays with up to 175.4-MHz counter
   frequencies (including interconnect)
■ PCI-compliant devices available
■ Open-drain output option in MAX 7000S devices
■ Programmable macrocell flipflops with individual clear, preset,
   clock, and clock enable controls
■ Programmable power-saving mode for a reduction of over 50% in
   each macrocell
■ Configurable expander product-term distribution, allowing up to
   32 product terms per macrocell
■ 44 to 208 pins available in plastic J-lead chip carrier (PLCC), ceramic
   pin-grid array (PGA), plastic quad flat pack (PQFP), power quad flat
   pack (RQFP), and 1.0-mm thin quad flat pack (TQFP) packages
■ Programmable security bit for protection of proprietary designs
■ 3.3-V or 5.0-V operation
   – MultiVoltTM I/O interface operation, allowing devices to
      interface with 3.3-V or 5.0-V devices (MultiVolt I/O operation is
      not available in 44-pin packages)
   – Pin compatible with low-voltage MAX 7000A and MAX 7000B
      devices
■ Enhanced features available in MAX 7000E and MAX 7000S devices
   – Six pin- or logic-driven output enable signals
   – Two global clock signals with optional inversion
   – Enhanced interconnect resources for improved routability
   – Fast input setup times provided by a dedicated path from I/O
      pin to macrocell registers
   – Programmable output slew-rate control
■ Software design support and automatic place-and-route provided by
   Altera’s development system for Windows-based PCs and Sun
   SPARCstation, and HP 9000 Series 700/800 workstations
■ Additional design entry and simulation support provided by EDIF
   2 0 0 and 3 0 0 netlist files, library of parameterized modules (LPM),
   Verilog HDL, VHDL, and other interfaces to popular EDA tools from
   manufacturers such as Cadence, Exemplar Logic, Mentor Graphics,
   OrCAD, Synopsys, and VeriBest
