5M240ZT100I5N

Overview

The Altera 5M240ZT100I5N is a MAX V series Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) featuring 240 logic elements and 192 equivalent macrocells. It utilizes non-volatile flash architecture for instant-on operation with configuration times of 0.5 ms or less. The device supports up to 79 user I/Os in a 100-pin Micro FineLine BGA package, operating within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns and a global clock frequency of 152 MHz. It integrates 8 Kbits of user flash memory and requires a single 1.8 V external supply.

Feature Summary

• Non-volatile Flash Architecture: Instant-on configuration (≤0.5 ms) without external configuration devices.
• Single Supply Operation: Powered by a single 1.8 V external supply for the device core.
• MultiVolt I/O Interface: Supports 3.3 V, 2.5 V, 1.8 V, 1.5 V, and 1.2 V logic levels.
• Integrated User Memory: Includes 8 Kbits of non-volatile user flash memory for data storage.

Applications

• I/O expansion for embedded systems
• Bus and protocol bridging
• FPGA configuration management
• Power monitoring and control circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'I5' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C) and speed grade 5. Confirm the 'T' suffix indicates the Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) package type, as the model number specifies a 100-pin TQFP variant. Ensure compatibility with Quartus II software versions supporting the MAX V family.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low power consumption and instant-on functionality. The MAX V family offers vertical migration capabilities within the same package footprint; verify if higher density devices like the 5M570Z fit the design constraints. Ensure the design accounts for the single 1.8 V core voltage requirement while accommodating the desired MultiVolt I/O standards.

Part Context

The 5M240Z belongs to the Altera MAX V family, which provides low-cost, low-power CPLD solutions. This family ranges from 40 to 2,210 logic elements. The MAX V architecture distinguishes itself through on-chip flash storage and an internal oscillator, reducing system complexity compared to SRAM-based FPGAs that require external configuration memory.

Replacement Considerations

Within the MAX V family, devices sharing the 100-pin MBGA package allow for vertical migration. Potential substitutes include the 5M160Z (lower density) or 5M570Z (higher density), provided they share compatible dedicated pins and JTAG interfaces. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution.
