5M240ZM68I5N

Overview

The Altera 5M240ZM68I5N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX V family. It features 240 logic elements and 192 macrocells, providing 52 user I/O pins. The device operates with an internal supply voltage range of 1.71V to 1.89V and supports System In-Programmability (SIP). It utilizes a 68-TFBGA package with a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns. The component is designed for surface mount installation and functions within a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• MAX V architecture with 240 logic elements and 192 macrocells
• System In-Programmability (SIP) capability
• 68-TFBGA package with 52 I/Os
• Internal core voltage operation between 1.71V and 1.89V

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic replacement
• Interface bridging in embedded systems
• Address decoding and control logic

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'I5N' corresponds to the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) rather than commercial grade, as datasheet specifications vary by suffix. Confirm the specific package variant matches the 68-TFBGA footprint requirements for the design. Ensure the source document explicitly lists this exact part number to avoid confusion with similar MAX V devices.

Selection Notes

Select this component when 240 logic elements are sufficient for the design complexity. The MAX V family offers non-volatile configuration, eliminating the need for external configuration memory. Verify that the 1.8V core voltage aligns with the system power budget and that the SIP feature meets programming infrastructure requirements.

Part Context

This part is part of the Altera MAX V series, which targets low-power, cost-sensitive applications requiring non-volatile programmability. The 5M240Z base model provides entry-level density within the family. The specific suffix indicates package type, speed grade, and temperature rating variations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other MAX V devices such as 5M240ZM68C4N or 5M240ZT100 variants, provided pin counts and logic densities match. Cross-family migration to Cyclone IV may require significant redesign due to architectural differences.
