5M240ZM68C4N

Overview

The Altera 5M240ZM68C4N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX V family. It integrates 192 macrocells and 240 logic elements, providing 52 I/O pins for system connectivity. The device operates with an internal supply voltage ranging from 1.71V to 1.89V and features a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns. Designed for surface-mount applications, it utilizes a 68-TFBGA package with dimensions of 5x5 mm. The component supports in-system programming and functions within a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• MAX V architecture with 192 macrocells and 240 logic blocks
• In-system programmability via JTAG or serial configuration
• High-speed performance with 7.5 ns maximum propagation delay
• Low power consumption enabled by 1.8V core voltage

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic replacement
• Address decoding and bus bridging
• Power-on reset and supervisor circuits
• Configuration memory for FPGAs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance. Confirm the package marking code matches the 68-MBGA (5x5) specification. Ensure the ordering part number aligns with the requested tape-and-reel or tray packaging options available from authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, non-volatile CPLD solution is required for moderate complexity logic designs. The MAX V series is suitable for replacing discrete logic gates. Consider the 52 I/O count and 192 macrocell capacity to ensure sufficient resources for the target design without excessive over-provisioning.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera MAX V family, which targets cost-sensitive embedded applications requiring small form factor solutions. The 5M240 variant represents a mid-range density option within the series, balancing pin count and logic capacity for compact PCB designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct cross-compatibility with other CPLD families requires verification of pinout and voltage levels. Check Altera documentation for recommended upgrades or legacy replacements within the MAX 10 or Cyclone IV families if higher performance is needed.
