EPM570ZM144C6N

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM570ZM144C6N is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the MAX II family. It features 570 logic elements organized into 57 Logic Array Blocks and provides 440 macrocells with 116 I/O pins. The device utilizes non-volatile Flash memory for configuration, supporting system-in-system programming. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.71V to 1.89V, typically at 1.8V. The component is housed in a 144-pin BGA package and supports an industrial temperature range from 0°C to +70°C, with a maximum propagation delay of 9 ns.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• Non-volatile Flash memory architecture enabling instant-on operation and high endurance.
• In-system programmability via JTAG interface for flexible field updates.
• Integrated 8192-bit user flash memory available for data storage.
• Supports multiple I/O standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, and SSTL.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Address decoding and bus bridging in embedded systems.
• Translation between different voltage domains and logic families.
• State machine implementation for control logic applications.
• Replacement for legacy GAL or PAL devices in modern designs.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' indicates the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C) and BGA packaging variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current documentation, as environmental declarations may be updated via Product Change Notices. Ensure compatibility with the intended PCB footprint for the 144-ball BGA package during procurement planning.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when a low pin count CPLD with non-volatile configuration is required. Compare against the EPM570T144 series if an extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) or TQFP package is necessary instead of BGA. Verify that the 1.8V core voltage aligns with the system's power rails, as external level shifters may be needed for 3.3V interfaces.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the Intel (formerly Altera) MAX II family, designed to replace complex discrete logic gates. It serves as a cost-effective solution for moderate complexity digital logic functions where code density and low power consumption are priorities over high-speed processing capabilities found in FPGA families.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents include other MAX II devices such as EPM570T144C5N, though package and temperature differences exist. Cross-family migration to MAX 10 requires significant design re-verification due to architectural differences.
