EPM2210F256C3N

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM2210F256C3N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX II family. It features 2210 logic elements organized into 221 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) and provides 1700 macrocells. The device supports up to 204 I/O pins and operates with internal supply voltages of 2.5V and 3.3V. It utilizes non-volatile Flash memory for configuration, allowing for system-in-programmability. The maximum propagation delay is specified at 7 ns, with a maximum operating frequency of 304 MHz. The component is housed in a 256-ball Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package, measuring 17x17 mm, and is rated for an industrial temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C3' against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm the exact temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with the Quartus Prime software version used for design compilation. Check for any Product Change Notices regarding labeling or packaging updates that may affect assembly processes.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, non-volatile CPLD solution is required. The MAX II family offers a balance of density and speed suitable for moderate complexity designs. Consider the 256-FBGA package constraints for PCB layout. Compare against other MAX II variants if higher I/O counts or different temperature ranges are needed.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

The EPM2210F256C3N is part of the broader Altera MAX II product line, which succeeded earlier EPMA/EPMS series. It is designed as a cost-effective alternative to SRAM-based FPGAs for applications where code retention without external memory is critical. Intel Corporation acquired Altera, and the product remains supported under the Intel FPGA portfolio.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package and electrical specifications should be sought from the MAX II family datasheet. Variants such as EPM2210F256C5N share similar logical resources but may differ in temperature rating or speed grade. Verify functional equivalence before substitution.
