The device supports system-in-system programmability via JTAG and offers non-volatile flash configuration. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 7 ns and operation with internal supply voltages of 2.5V and 3.3V. The component operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 85°C TJ.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• MAX II family architecture based on 0.18-µm 6-layer-metal-flash process
• 2210 logic elements with 1700 macrocells for high-density logic implementation
• Supports In-System Programmability (ISP) and JTAG boundary scan
• Integrated User Flash Memory (UFM) block for data storage

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Bus bridging applications requiring protocol translation
• I/O expansion for microprocessor systems
• Power-on reset (POR) and sequencing control circuits
• Device configuration control for peripheral management

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C3N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics. Confirm current lifecycle status as MAX II devices may have varying availability levels across distributors. Ensure design files are compatible with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the MAX II family.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 2210 logic elements and a 324-pin package are required. Compare against EPM2210F256C3N if a smaller 256-pin footprint is acceptable for space-constrained designs. Verify that the 7 ns delay meets timing requirements for the target clock frequencies. Ensure the design utilizes the MultiVolt core capabilities for mixed voltage I/O interfaces.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

The EPM2210F324C3N is part of the broader MAX II CPLD portfolio, which provides instant-on non-volatile functionality. This series is designed to replace older EPROM-based CPLDs by offering lower power consumption and higher density. It serves as a bridge between simple discrete logic and more complex FPGAs like Cyclone or Stratix families.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the MAX II family include other EPM2210 variants with different package options, such as the EPM2210F256C3N. Cross-family migration to MAX V or MAX 10 requires retiming and resource verification but offers enhanced features.
