EPM240T100C5NAC

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The EPM240T100C5NAC is a MAX II series Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) manufactured by Altera. It features 240 logic elements and 192 macrocells within a 100-pin TQFP package. The device utilizes non-volatile Flash technology for instant-on operation without external configuration memory. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns, an internal core voltage range of 2.375V to 2.625V, and support for I/O voltages between 3V and 3.6V. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 85°C TJ.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AC' against official datasheets to confirm if it denotes a specific packaging or testing variant distinct from the standard 'EPM240T100C5N'. Confirm lead times and availability directly with authorized distributors as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and REACH regulations for the specific manufacturing batch.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this component when instant-on capability is required without external configuration chips. Compare the 7.5 ns speed grade against faster variants like the C3N (4.7 ns) if timing constraints allow. Verify that the 100-TQFP package dimensions fit the PCB layout and that the commercial temperature range meets the application environment.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This part belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) MAX II family, designed for low-cost, low-power applications. It succeeds older MAX 7000 series devices with improved power efficiency. The MAX II line is notable for integrating Flash memory directly into the CPLD fabric, simplifying system design compared to SRAM-based FPGAs.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same speed grade are limited. Slower speed grades such as EPM240T100C3N may be compatible if timing margins permit. Higher performance options require re-evaluation of timing constraints. Always verify updated PCNs for label or packaging changes.
