EPM570GT100C3

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM570GT100C3N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX II family. It features 570 logic elements organized into 440 macrocells and 57 Logic Array Blocks (LABs). The device provides 76 I/O pins within a 100-TQFP package. It operates on a single 1.8V supply voltage, with an internal range of 1.71V to 1.89V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 5.4 ns and a maximum operating frequency of 304 MHz. The component utilizes non-volatile Flash memory for configuration and supports System In-Programmability (SIP).

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• Non-volatile Flash memory architecture enabling instant-on functionality without external configuration devices.
• Supports System In-Programmability (SIP) via JTAG interface for field updates.
• Single 1.8V power supply operation reduces system complexity and power consumption.
• High-performance logic with 5.4 ns max propagation delay and 304 MHz max frequency.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• General-purpose digital logic replacement in industrial control systems.
• Address decoding and bus bridging in embedded computer architectures.
• State machine implementation for consumer electronics and appliances.
• Interface translation between different voltage domains or protocols.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'C3' against official Intel/Altera documentation, as standard commercial temperature variants are typically designated 'C3N'. Confirm current availability status, as some MAX II series components may have End-of-Life notices or limited production runs. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 3) requirements for storage and handling during assembly.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when non-volatile configuration and low pin count are required. Compare with EPM570GT100I5N if an extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) is necessary instead of the commercial range (0°C to +70°C). Ensure the design fits within the 440 macrocell limit and that the 1.8V I/O levels match the connected peripherals.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the MAX II family, designed as a cost-effective alternative to older EPROM-based CPLDs like the EPM7000 series. It integrates Flash technology to eliminate the need for external configuration PROMs, simplifying PCB layout and reducing bill-of-materials costs for volume production applications.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include EPM570GT100I5N (industrial temperature grade). For higher performance or density, consider the MAX V or MAX 10 families, though these require software migration and potentially different pinouts.
