5M160ZT100C4N

Overview

The Altera 5M160ZT100C4N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX V family. It features 160 logic elements and 128 macrocells, housed in a TQFP-100 surface-mount package. The device supports system-in-programmability via Flash memory technology, eliminating the need for external configuration devices. It operates with a supply voltage of 1.8V and offers a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns. The component is rated for an industrial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• MAX V family architecture with 160 logic elements and 128 macrocells
• Non-volatile Flash memory allows system-in-programmability without external configuration chips
• Single 1.8V power supply operation with low standby current
• 100-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP-100) suitable for space-constrained designs

Applications

• Replacement for complex discrete logic circuits
• Interface bridging between different voltage domains or protocols
• Address decoding and control logic in embedded systems
• Simple state machine implementation for consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates the TQFP-100 package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor certificates prior to procurement. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability records for the Altera/Intel product line.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring non-volatile programmability with low pin counts. Compare against the MAX II series if higher I/O density is needed, or MAX V variants with different package options like FBGA for smaller footprints. Verify that the 1.8V operating voltage aligns with the target system's power rails.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) MAX V family, designed as a low-cost, low-power solution for replacing fixed-function logic. It serves as a successor to older GAL and CPLD technologies, offering reprogrammability in a compact form factor suitable for mass-produced electronic equipment.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the MAX V family include other 100-pin variants such as 5M160ZT100A5N, though speed grades and temperature ranges may differ. Cross-family migration to MAX II requires schematic redesign due to architectural differences.
