EPM570GT144C4

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM570GT144C4 is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX II family. It features 570 logic elements organized into 57 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) and provides 440 macrocells. The device offers 116 I/O pins and utilizes non-volatile Flash memory for configuration, supporting In-System Programmability (ISP). Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 5.4 ns and an operating frequency up to 304 MHz. It operates on a single 1.8V supply voltage with a range of 1.71V to 1.89V. The component is housed in a 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) suitable for surface-mount applications.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'C4' against official datasheets, as standard listings often use 'C4N'. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements during storage and handling. Check for specific package variations such as TQFP-144 dimensions. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions for programming.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 440 macrocells and 116 I/Os are required within a 144-pin footprint. Compare against EPM570T144 variants if industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C) are needed instead of commercial ranges. Consider the 1.8V core voltage requirement for power supply design. Verify that the 5.4 ns delay meets timing constraints for the target application frequency.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera MAX II family, designed for low-cost, low-power CPLD applications. It serves as a successor to older GAL and PAL devices, offering reprogrammability via Flash memory. The MAX II series is widely used for replacing discrete logic gates and small-scale programmable logic in consumer and industrial electronics.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other EPM570 variants with different speed grades or temperature ratings, such as EPM570T144C4N. Cross-family replacements require careful review of I/O counts, voltage levels, and logic capacity.
