ALTEPM240T100C5N

Overview

The EPM240T100C5N is a non-volatile Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the MAX II family, featuring 240 logic elements and 192 macrocells. It utilizes a lookup table (LUT) based architecture that provides high pin-to-pin speeds and instant-on functionality, making it ideal for glue logic and power-up sequencing. The device is housed in a 100-pin TQFP package and supports both 2.5V and 3.3V internal voltage supplies.

Why Choose This Part

The MAX II architecture offers lower power consumption than previous CPLD generations, with a standby current of only 25 uA. Its instant-on, non-volatile nature eliminates the need for external configuration flash, reducing PCB footprint and system cost. With a maximum propagation delay of 4.7 ns, it handles high-speed timing-critical tasks effectively.

Applications

Getting Started

Design entry is typically performed using Intel Quartus Prime Lite Edition software, which supports VHDL and Verilog HDL. Hardware programming is achieved via the JTAG interface, compliant with IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1532 standards. To start, connect a USB-Blaster download cable to the 100-TQFP device to program the internal flash-based configuration memory.
