EPM570GF256C3

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The EPM570GF256C3 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX II family, manufactured by Altera. It features 570 logic elements and 440 macrocells within a 256-ball FineLine BGA package. The device supports system-in-programmability and operates with an internal supply voltage ranging from 1.71V to 1.89V. Maximum propagation delay is specified at 5.4 ns, with a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C. This component utilizes Flash memory technology for non-volatile configuration storage.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• Contains 570 logic elements and 440 macrocells for complex digital logic implementation.
• Supports System-In-Programmability (SIP) via JTAG interface.
• Operates on a single 1.8V core voltage (1.71V–1.89V range).
• Delivers maximum propagation delay of 5.4 ns in a 256-FBGA package.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• General-purpose digital logic replacement for legacy TTL/CMOS circuits.
• Address decoding and bus bridging in embedded systems.
• State machine implementation for control logic applications.
• Interface translation between different voltage domains or protocols.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status carefully, as source data indicates this specific suffix may not meet current RoHS standards compared to 'N' suffixed variants. Confirm package dimensions against the 256-FBGA (17x17 mm) specification during PCB footprint design. Check for Product Change Notices regarding label changes or manufacturing site updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this part when a 1.8V core voltage is required rather than the 2.5V/3.3V options found in other MAX II variants like the EPM570F series. Ensure the design requires no more than 440 macrocells and 160 I/O pins. Verify that the 0°C to 85°C commercial temperature range meets the application environment requirements.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the MAX II family, which succeeded earlier MAX 7000 series devices. It offers lower power consumption due to Flash technology compared to SRAM-based FPGAs. The 'G' suffix typically denotes specific packaging or material characteristics within the Altera ordering guide, distinguishing it from standard commercial or industrial temperature variants.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

EPM570GF256C3N is listed as a direct substitute. The 'N' suffix likely indicates RoHS-compliant manufacturing. Electrical parameters remain identical, but environmental compliance differs. No functional pin-out changes are expected between these variants.
