5M40ZE64C4N

Overview

The Altera 5M40ZE64C4N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX V family. It features 40 logic elements, 32 macrocells, and 54 I/Os housed in a 64-TQFP package with exposed pad. The device operates on a single 1.8V supply (1.71V–1.89V internal) and supports system-in-system programming via Flash memory technology. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns and a maximum operating frequency of 152 MHz. It is rated for commercial temperature ranges from 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• MAX V series architecture with non-volatile Flash configuration memory
• Single 1.8V power supply operation for low voltage applications
• System-in-system programmability allowing field updates
• High-density I/O capability with 54 user-accessible pins

Applications

• Configuration controller for FPGA devices
• Interface bridging between different voltage domains
• Simple state machine implementation in industrial control
• Address decoding and bus arbitration in embedded systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C4N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C) and package variant. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the MAX V family. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in current datasheets.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, low-power CPLD with Flash-based reprogrammability is required. Compare against the 5M40ZE64I5N if an extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) is necessary instead of the commercial grade offered by the C4N suffix.

Part Context

This part is part of the MAX V family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring small form factor and low power consumption. It serves as a successor to older MAX II devices, offering higher density and improved performance while maintaining pin-to-pin compatibility with certain legacy designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package and pinout include other MAX V devices with equal or greater macrocell counts, such as the 5M80ZE64 series. Verify thermal characteristics and I/O drive strengths when substituting.
