EPM240ZM100I8N

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM240ZM100I8N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX II family. It features 240 logic elements organized into 24 Logic Array Blocks and provides 192 macrocells with 80 available I/O pins. The device utilizes non-volatile Flash memory for configuration, supporting system-in-system programming capabilities. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.71V to 1.89V and offers a maximum propagation delay of 7.5 ns. The component is housed in a 100-pin TFBGA package and supports an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I8N' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact speed grade and temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with the Quartus Prime software version required for MAX II device support. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding packaging or labeling updates before finalizing procurement specifications.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when an industrial temperature range is required alongside non-volatile configuration. Compare the 7.5 ns delay against faster MAX II variants like the EPM240GM series if higher performance is needed. Confirm that the 100-TFBGA package footprint matches the target PCB design constraints and thermal requirements.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This part is a member of the Altera MAX II family, designed as a low-cost, low-power solution for simple to medium-complexity logic applications. It serves as a successor to older GAL and CPLD technologies, offering reprogrammability without the volatility of SRAM-based FPGAs. The Z suffix typically denotes specific package or pinout variations within the broader EPM240 product line.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements include other MAX II devices such as EPM240T100C5N or EPM240T100I5N, provided the package and speed grades are compatible. Cross-family migration to MAX V may be considered for enhanced features, though pinouts and toolchains will differ.
