5M160ZE64A5N

Overview

The Altera 5M160ZE64A5N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX V family. It features 160 logic elements organized into 16 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) and provides 128 macrocells with 54 available I/O pins. The device operates on a 1.8V supply voltage, supporting a maximum frequency of 152 MHz with a typical propagation delay of 7.5 ns. It utilizes non-volatile Flash memory for configuration and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• MAX V architecture with 160 logic elements and 128 macrocells
• Non-volatile Flash memory technology for instant-on operation
• High-speed performance up to 152 MHz with 7.5 ns propagation delay
• Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) in a 64-pin QFP package

Applications

• Interface bridging between different voltage domains
• Address decoding and control logic in embedded systems
• Replacement for legacy GALs and PALs
• Power-up sequencing and configuration management

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'A5N' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm specific commercial/industrial grade and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with standard JTAG programming interfaces and verify moisture sensitivity levels prior to surface mount assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile storage and low standby power are required. Compare the 160 logic element count against design complexity requirements. Confirm that the 1.8V core voltage aligns with system power rails and that the 64-pin QFP package fits the PCB footprint constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera MAX V series, designed as a low-power, cost-effective solution for simple programmable logic applications. It serves as a successor to older CPLD technologies, offering improved performance per milliwatt while maintaining ease of use through Flash-based configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same MAX V family include variants with different temperature grades or package options, such as the 5M160ZE64I5N. Verify electrical specifications and package dimensions before substituting.
