5M160ZT100I5N

Overview

The Altera 5M160ZT100I5N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX V family. It features 160 logic elements and 128 macrocells, housed in a 100-pin TQFP package. The device operates with an internal supply voltage range of 1.71V to 1.89V and supports System In-Programmability via Flash memory technology. Key electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns and a maximum operating frequency of 152 MHz. It is designed for industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +100°C TJ.

Feature Summary

• MAX V architecture with 160 logic elements and 128 macrocells
• 100-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) surface mount
• System In-Programmable (SIP) Flash non-volatile memory
• Industrial temperature range: -40°C to +100°C TJ

Applications

• Low-power embedded control systems
• Interface bridging between different voltage domains
• Simple state machine implementations
• Address decoding and bus buffering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T100' confirms the TQFP-100 package variant, distinct from BGA options like 'M100'. Confirm the 'I5N' suffix indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C TJ) and lead-free RoHS compliance. Check current manufacturing status as MAX V devices may have varying availability or end-of-life notices depending on the region.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, low-power CPLD with non-volatile Flash configuration is required. It is suitable for designs needing fewer than 160 logic elements and up to 79 I/O pins. Compare against EPM240 series if higher performance (lower delay) is needed, or MAX II series for simpler logic requirements. Ensure the TQFP-100 footprint matches the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part is part of Intel's (formerly Altera) MAX V family, targeting cost-sensitive applications requiring reprogrammability without external configuration memory. It serves as a successor to older GAL/CPLD technologies, offering modern SIP capabilities and lower power consumption compared to legacy EEPROM-based CPLDs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited due to architectural differences. Consider the EPM240T100I5N for similar packaging but higher performance (4.7 ns delay), noting the increased macrocell count (192 vs 128). Verify compatibility with existing programming tools such as Quartus Prime Lite.
