EPM570ZM144I8N

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The Altera EPM570ZM144I8N 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 input/output pins and utilizes a BGA-144 surface-mount package. It operates on a 1.8 V supply voltage with a maximum operating frequency of 152 MHz and a typical propagation delay of 9 ns. The internal memory capacity is 8192 bits, stored in non-volatile Flash technology. The component supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• Non-volatile Flash configuration for instant-on capability without external memory
• High-density architecture with 57 LABs and 440 macrocells in a compact BGA-144 package
• Supports In-System Programmability (ISP) via JTAG interface
• Low power consumption suitable for portable and battery-operated applications

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Portable systems and handheld devices requiring low power and small form factor
• Point-to-multipoint (PMP) communication systems
• Barcode scanners and PDA peripheral interfaces
• General-purpose digital logic replacement and glue logic

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I8N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and RoHS compliance status. Check for End-of-Life (EOL) notifications or Product Discontinuance Notifications (PDN) as older MAX II variants may have limited availability. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels (MSL) for proper handling during assembly.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 116 I/Os and 570 logic elements are required within a BGA-144 footprint. Compare against the EPM570ZM144C7N if a commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) suffices, as it shares similar electrical characteristics but differs in environmental rating. Ensure the design accommodates the 1.8 V core voltage requirements and associated I/O standards.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

The EPM570Z series represents a variant of the MAX II family optimized for specific packaging and performance tiers. The 'Z' designation typically indicates a specific pinout or package optimization within the broader MAX II portfolio. This part sits between lower-density models like the EPM240 and higher-density options like the EPM570GT, offering a balance of density and pin count for mid-range logic applications.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package and speed grade are limited due to the specificity of the 'Z' suffix. Verify cross-references with EPM570ZM144C7N for temperature range differences. For legacy support, consult Intel's migration guides for transitioning to newer MAX families such as MAX V or MAX 10 if supply constraints exist.
