5M40ZM64C4N

Overview

The Altera 5M40ZM64C4N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX V family. It features 32 macrocells organized within a single Logic Array Block (LAB). The device provides 30 user I/O pins and utilizes a 64-pin MBGA package with dimensions of 4.5x4.5 mm. It operates on a core voltage range of 1.71V to 1.89V, ensuring low power consumption with an operating current of approximately 25 uA. The maximum propagation delay is 7.5 ns, supporting system frequencies up to 152 MHz. Configuration is stored in non-volatile Flash memory.

Feature Summary

• 32 Macrocells and 30 I/Os in a compact 64-TFBGA/MBGA package
• Non-volatile Flash configuration for immediate power-up operation
• System In-Programmability (SIP) capability via JTAG
• Low power consumption with 25 uA operating current

Applications

• Address decoding and control logic in embedded systems
• Level translation between different voltage domains
• Boot configuration management for other programmable devices
• General-purpose digital logic implementation in cost-sensitive designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C4N' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C) and package variant. Ensure that the design accounts for Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (MSL 3), which requires controlled storage and reflow soldering profiles to prevent damage during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small number of macrocells is sufficient for glue logic or protocol bridging. Compare the 32 macrocell capacity against the 5M40ZM64I5N if industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +100°C) are required instead of the commercial range offered by the C4N suffix.

Part Context

This part is part of the Intel (formerly Altera) MAX V series, designed for low-cost, low-power applications. It serves as a successor to older EPM/EPC families in simple logic roles. The MAX V architecture combines non-volatile Flash with high-speed I/O capabilities, making it suitable for replacing discrete logic gates in modern PCB designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package include the 5M40ZM64I5N (Industrial Temp) or 5M40ZE64 variants (different package). Verify logic density requirements; if more macrocells are needed, consider the 5M80Z series.
