5M570ZT100C5N

Overview

The Altera 5M570ZT100C5N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX V family. It integrates 570 logic elements and 440 macrocells within a 100-pin TQFP package. The device supports System In-Programmability (SIP) via JTAG and utilizes non-volatile Flash technology for configuration retention without external memory. Key electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 9 ns, an internal supply voltage range of 1.71V to 1.89V, and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +100°C (junction).

Feature Summary

• MAX V architecture with 570 logic elements and 440 macrocells.
• Non-volatile Flash configuration enabling instant-on operation.
• Supports System In-Programmability (SIP) using JTAG interface.
• Operates at low voltage with internal supply range of 1.71V–1.89V.

Applications

• Replacement for legacy EEPROM-based CPLDs in industrial control systems.
• Interface bridging between microprocessors and peripheral devices.
• Address decoding and bus buffering in embedded designs.
• General-purpose logic implementation in cost-sensitive consumer electronics.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' or 'C' for temperature grade requirements, as the provided model indicates commercial grade but datasheets often distinguish between industrial (-40°C to +100°C) and commercial (0°C to +70°C) variants. Confirm package availability in 100-pin TQFP versus other pin counts like 144-pin TQFP which share the same core logic density. Check for RoHS compliance status and ensure the supplier provides valid JEDEC moisture sensitivity level data for surface mount assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, low-power CPLD with non-volatile configuration is required. Compare against the EPM570 series if higher speed (5.4 ns vs 9 ns) is needed, noting that EPM570 typically requires external voltage regulators for 2.5V/3.3V operation whereas MAX V uses lower internal voltages. Ensure the design fits within the 440 macrocell limit and verify I/O count requirements against the available pins in the 100-pin package.

Part Context

The 5M570ZT100C5N is part of the MAX V family, designed to replace older MAX II and EPM7000 series devices. It offers improved power efficiency and reduced board space due to integrated Flash configuration, eliminating the need for external configuration chips. This family is positioned for high-volume, cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate logic density.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may include the EPM570T100C5N, though electrical characteristics such as supply voltage and speed differ significantly. Verify compatibility with existing programming tools, as Quartus Prime software support is required for MAX V devices.
