Overview

The 5M80ZE64C5N is a member of the Altera MAX V CPLD family, offering 64 macrocells in a compact 64-pin EQFP package. It features a non-volatile architecture that provides instant-on performance and integrates an internal oscillator, simplifying system design by eliminating the need for external configuration memory. This device operates on a single 1.8-V core supply and supports multiple I/O standards through its MultiVolt interface.

Why Choose This Part

The 5M80ZE64C5N offers significant power savings with a typical standby current of 25 uA and eliminates external configuration components via its integrated flash memory. It includes 8 Kbits of user flash memory for non-volatile data storage and features programmable Schmitt triggers on inputs for high noise immunity.

Applications

System Power Sequencing
Managing power-up and power-down timing for complex multi-rail PCB designs due to its instant-on capability.
I/O Level Shifting
Bridging communication between components operating at different logic levels from 1.2V to 3.3V using the MultiVolt I/O pins.
Interface Bridging
Converting between different interface protocols or emulating LVDS and RSDS outputs at rates up to 304 Mbps.
Simple Glue Logic
Replacing multiple discrete logic gates with a single programmable device to reduce board space and BOM count.

Getting Started

Development for the MAX V family is primarily performed using the Intel Quartus Prime Lite Edition software, which supports VHDL and Verilog entry. You will need a USB-Blaster II download cable to program the device via the JTAG interface. Hardware evaluation can be done using various third-party MAX V CPLD development boards that break out the 64-pin EQFP package.
