EPM570M256C5N

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The EPM570M256C5N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX II family, manufactured by Altera. It features 570 logic elements organized into 440 macrocells and provides 160 input/output ports. The device utilizes a 256-pin MBGA package with dimensions of 11x11 mm. It operates on a single 1.8V supply voltage, ranging from 1.71V to 1.89V, and supports system-in-programmability via Flash memory technology. The maximum propagation delay is specified at 9 ns, with a maximum operating frequency of 152 MHz.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• Contains 570 logic elements and 440 macrocells within 57 Logic Array Blocks (LABs).
• Offers 160 I/O pins in a 256-TFBGA/MBGA surface-mount package.
• Supports In-System Programming (ISP) using non-volatile Flash memory.
• Operates at a core voltage of 1.8V with a maximum propagation delay of 9 ns.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Bus bridging applications requiring protocol conversion.
• General-purpose I/O expansion for embedded systems.
• Power-on reset (POR) generation and sequencing control.
• Address decoding and simple state machine implementation.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number EPM570M256C5N against official Altera documentation to confirm specifications. Ensure compatibility with 1.8V power domains. Check for RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements during storage and handling. Confirm package type is 256-MBGA (11x11) before procurement.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this component when 440 macrocells and 160 I/Os are required in a compact BGA footprint. It is suitable for designs strictly operating at 1.8V. Compare against EPM570ZM256C6N if industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) is needed, as the C5N suffix indicates commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). Consider EPM570GF100C5N if fewer I/Os suffice.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This part is part of the MAX II family, which uses 0.18-micron 6-metal-layer Flash process technology. It serves as a low-cost, low-power alternative to older CPLD families. The 'M' suffix denotes the MBGA package, while 'C5' indicates the commercial temperature grade and speed bin. It is designed for instant-on applications due to its non-volatile architecture.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

EPM570ZM256C6N offers identical electrical characteristics but supports an extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). EPM570GM256C5N is a similar 256-pin variant but may differ in specific speed grading or package tolerance details; verify datasheet alignment.
