The MAX 9000 family of in-system-programmable, high-density, highperformance EPLDs is based on Altera’s third-generation MAX architecture. Fabricated on an advanced CMOS technology, the EEPROMbased MAX 9000 family provides 6,000 to 12,000 usable gates, pin-to-pin delays as fast as 10 ns, and counter speeds of up to 144 MHz.
