5M80ZM68C5N

Overview

The Altera 5M80ZM68C5N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX V family. It features 68 macrocells, 8 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), and 80 logic elements. The device provides 54 I/O pins and operates on a single 1.8V supply voltage with a maximum frequency of 152 MHz and a propagation delay of 7.5 ns. It utilizes non-volatile Flash memory for configuration and supports System In-Programmability (SIP). The component is housed in a 64-pin QFP package and is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• 68 Macrocells with 8 LABs and 80 logic elements
• Single 1.8V power supply with low standby current
• Non-volatile Flash memory technology for instant-on operation
• Supports System In-Programmability (SIP)

Applications

• Low-power embedded control systems
• Interface bridging between different voltage domains
• Address/data bus expansion
• Simple state machine implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C5N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the MAX V family. Check for moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profile requirements during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a design requires moderate logic density (68 macrocells) with low static power consumption. The 1.8V-only supply requirement necessitates careful power rail planning. Compare against the 5M80ZE series if industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C) are required instead of the commercial range found in this part.

Part Context

This component is part of the Intel MAX V CPLD portfolio, designed as a successor to older GAL and EPM devices. It targets cost-sensitive applications requiring non-volatile programmability without the complexity of FPGA configuration. The MAX V architecture combines Flash memory with traditional macrocell logic structures.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package include other MAX V variants such as 5M80ZT68C5N or 5M80ZE68C5N, provided the pinout and electrical characteristics match the design constraints. Verify that alternative packages do not require PCB layout modifications.
