5M80ZM68C4N

Overview

The Altera 5M80ZM68C4N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX V family. It features 80 logic elements and 64 macrocells within an 8-Logic Array Block (LAB) architecture. The device provides 54 input/output pins and operates with a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns. It utilizes non-volatile Flash memory for configuration, supporting System In-Programmability (SIP). The component functions at a supply voltage range of 1.71V to 1.89V and is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. It is housed in a 64-pin QFP package.

Feature Summary

• MAX V series CPLD with 80 logic elements and 64 macrocells
• Non-volatile Flash memory technology enabling instant-on operation
• System In-Programmability (SIP) capability via JTAG
• Commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) with 7.5 ns max delay

Applications

• Low-power embedded control systems
• Interface bridging between different voltage domains
• Address decoding and simple state machine implementation
• Configuration management for peripheral devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' indicates the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C), distinct from the industrial grade 'I' variant. Confirm the package type is QFP-64. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the MAX V family. Check RoHS compliance status as per current manufacturer notices.

Selection Notes

Select this model when non-volatile storage is required to eliminate external configuration EEPROMs. Compare against the 5M80ZE64C4N if industrial temperature ratings (-40°C to +85°C) are necessary instead of commercial grades. Evaluate pin count requirements carefully as the 64-pin QFP offers 54 I/Os. Consider the 7.5 ns delay for timing closure in synchronous designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) MAX V family, designed for cost-sensitive, low-power applications. It serves as a successor to older EPM200/EPM7000 series devices, offering higher density and lower power consumption through Flash technology. The 5M80Z variant specifically denotes the 80 LE count within the Z-series lineup.

Replacement Considerations

The 5M80ZE64C4N is a direct functional substitute with identical logic resources but differs in operating temperature range (Industrial -40°C to +85°C vs. Commercial 0°C to +70°C). Verify thermal requirements before swapping. No other direct cross-model replacements with identical pinouts and logic counts are documented.
