5M570ZM100I5N

Overview

The Altera 5M570ZM100I5N is a MAX V series Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) manufactured using 90 nm low-power nonvolatile Flash technology. It provides 570 system-in-system logic elements and 440 macrocells within a 100-pin MBGA package. The device supports flexible I/O configurations with multiple voltage domains, including 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 5.4 ns and an internal operating frequency up to 201.1 MHz. It features integrated user Flash memory for data storage and operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Nonvolatile Flash architecture eliminates the need for external configuration memory, enabling immediate operation upon power-up.
• Supports multiple I/O standards (LVCMOS/LVTTL) with independent voltage banks for versatile interface compatibility.
• Integrated 8 Kbit user Flash allows for persistent storage of calibration data or serial numbers without external EEPROMs.
• Low-power 90 nm process technology reduces dynamic and static power consumption compared to previous generations.

Applications

• Bus protocol conversion between different voltage levels in embedded systems.
• Address decoding and chip select generation in industrial control boards.
• Simple state machine implementation for sensor interfacing.
• Power-on reset sequencing and supervisor logic in consumer electronics.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' indicates the RoHS-compliant variant when sourcing. Confirm the package type is TFBGA-100 with a 6x6 mm footprint. Ensure the design toolchain supports the MAX V family, as newer Quartus Prime versions may have limited support for legacy MAX II/III/V devices depending on the version. Check for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements during storage and handling.

Selection Notes

Select this component when nonvolatile configuration is required to reduce bill-of-materials count by removing external Flash chips. Compare against EPM570T100I5N if higher pin counts or different package styles are needed. Consider the 5M570ZM series for lower power applications compared to older MAX II devices. Verify that the 570 LEs are sufficient for the target logic complexity before finalizing the part number.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) MAX V family, which succeeded the MAX II and MAX III families. It offers a balance of moderate logic density and low cost, targeting applications where FPGA complexity is unnecessary but CPLD reliability and ease of use are preferred. The '5M' prefix distinguishes it from the older 'EPM' prefixed MAX II parts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include other 5M570 variants with different speed grades or temperature ranges, such as 5M570ZM100A5N. Cross-family replacements like EPM570T100I5N require schematic redesign due to architectural differences and potential pinout mismatches.
