EPM2210F324C5N

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM2210F324C5N 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 for implementation. The device supports up to 272 I/O pins and is housed in a 324-pin FBGA package with dimensions of 20x20 mm. Key electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 7 ns, a maximum operating frequency of 304 MHz, and dual supply voltage support for 2.5V and 3.3V internal cores. The component utilizes non-volatile Flash memory for configuration storage.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• MAX II architecture with 221 LABs and 1700 macrocells
• High-density I/O capability with 272 available pins
• System-in-Programmable (SIP) functionality via Flash technology
• Supports both 2.5V and 3.3V core voltage operations

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Interface bridging between different voltage domains
• Address/data bus buffering and protocol conversion
• State machine implementation in industrial control systems
• Replacement for legacy GAL or PAL devices in existing designs

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C5N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the MAX II family. Check for any Product Change Notifications (PCNs) regarding package labeling or material composition updates prior to ordering.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 272 I/Os are required within the MAX II family constraints. Compare against the EPM2210F256C5N if board space is limited, noting the reduction from 272 to 204 I/Os. Verify that the 7 ns delay meets the timing requirements of the target clock frequencies. Confirm that the 324-pin FBGA footprint matches the PCB layout capabilities.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This part is part of the MAX II CPLD series, which succeeded earlier MAX families like MAX 7000. It represents a transition to Flash-based programmability, allowing for reprogramming without external configuration chips. The EPM2210 variant offers a mid-range density suitable for moderate complexity logic applications compared to lower-density MAX V or higher-density MAX 10 devices.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited within the MAX II family due to varying I/O counts. The EPM2210F256C5N shares the same logic architecture but has fewer I/Os. For functional equivalence with more I/Os, higher-density families like MAX 10 may be considered, though they require design migration.
