5M1270ZF324I5N

Overview

The Altera 5M1270ZF324I5N is a MAX V series Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) featuring 1,270 logic elements and 980 equivalent macrocells. It utilizes a non-volatile flash architecture for instant-on configuration with a delay of 0.5 ms or less. The device operates on a single 1.8-V core supply while supporting MultiVolt I/O levels including 3.3 V, 2.5 V, 1.8 V, 1.5 V, and 1.2 V. It offers up to 271 user I/Os in a 324-pin FineLine BGA package and includes an internal oscillator and 8 Kbits of user flash memory.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile Flash Architecture: Instant-on operation (≤0.5 ms) without external configuration memory.
• MultiVolt I/O Interface: Supports 3.3 V, 2.5 V, 1.8 V, 1.5 V, and 1.2 V logic levels with programmable drive strength and slew rate.
• High Density: Contains 1,270 LEs, 980 macrocells, and up to 271 user I/Os.
• Integrated Resources: Includes four global clocks, an internal oscillator, and 8 Kbits of user-accessible flash memory.

Applications

• I/O expansion and protocol bridging
• FPGA configuration and power monitoring control
• Analog IC interface and bus translation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'I5' corresponds to the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) and speed grade 5 as defined in the MAX V Device Handbook. Confirm that the 324-pin FBGA package dimensions match the PCB footprint requirements, noting the 1 mm pitch and 19 x 19 mm area.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low power consumption with a single 1.8 V supply and non-vatile storage capabilities. Ensure the design utilizes the Quartus II software for compilation, as newer versions may not support MAX V devices. Consider the vertical migration path within the 324-pin package if future density upgrades are anticipated.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera MAX V family, which provides low-cost, low-power CPLD solutions. The 'Z' indicates the device type within the MAX V lineup, 'F' denotes the FineLine BGA package, and '324' specifies the pin count. The 'I5' suffix identifies the industrial temperature grade and performance speed class.

Replacement Considerations

Devices such as the 5M2210ZF324I5N offer vertical migration within the same 324-pin FBGA package, providing higher density (2,210 LEs) with compatible dedicated and JTAG pins. Designers must ensure the PCB layout accommodates the power pin requirements of the target density.
