EPM240T100C4N Descripción general

The Altera EPM240T100C4N is a member of the MAX II family of Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs), delivering 192 macro cells with a maximum propagation delay (tPD) of 4.7 ns in a 100-pin TQFP package. Built on a low-power 0.18 µm process, it combines non-volatile Flash configuration memory with instant-on capability and in-system programmability (ISP) via JTAG, removing the need for an external boot PROM.

A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile programmable logic device that sits between simple glue-logic chips and larger FPGAs. In the broader programmable logic hierarchy, CPLDs are widely used for I/O expansion, bus bridging, power-up sequencing, address decoding, and interface logic glue. Compared with SRAM-based FPGAs, CPLDs do not require a configuration download at every power-up, which makes them ideal for deterministic, instant-on control logic in industrial and consumer systems.

Key features of the EPM240T100C4N include 192 macro cells organized as 240 logic elements, 4.7 ns pin-to-pin logic delay, 247.5 MHz internal performance, 80 user I/O pins, 2.5 V / 3.3 V core operation, MultiVolt I/O support for 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V interfaces, JTAG boundary-scan test (IEEE 1149.1), and a low standby current typically below 100 µA. It supports vertical migration with other MAX II density points such as the EPM570 and EPM1270 in the same 100-pin TQFP.

The MAX II architecture uses a MultiCore interconnect that routes signals across Logic Array Blocks (LABs) with predictable timing, supporting hot-socketing, open-drain outputs, and bus-hold circuitry. Designers using Quartus II software can target the device through industry-standard VHDL or Verilog HDL with the IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG interface.

Typical applications include I/O expansion and bus bridging, address decoding and glue logic in microprocessor/microcontroller systems, LED display driving, industrial control boards, consumer electronics interface management, and protocol translation. Engineers choose this part for instant-on, non-volatile logic that does not need a boot PROM.

Designers should confirm that all VCCIO bank voltages match the connected logic levels and ensure the JTAG chain order is correct in multi-device boards. Decoupling capacitors (0.1 µF + 1 µF) close to each VCC pin are required for clean power-up. Use the Quartus II design software for synthesis, fitting, and programming.

Aplicaciones típicas

EPM240T100C4N es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Microcontroller I/O Expansion and Bus Bridging, Industrial Control Board Glue Logic, LED Display Driver and Refresh Controller, Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation, Protocol Translation and Interface Bridging, Power Sequencing and Reset Management.

🔧

Microcontroller I/O Expansion and Bus Bridging

The EPM240T100C4N is widely used to expand microcontroller I/O count and bridge between asynchronous buses in embedded designs. With 192 macro cells, 80 user I/O pins, and MultiVolt I/O support for 1.5 V to 3.3 V logic, it interfaces 8-bit or 32-bit MCUs to peripherals such as keypads, LCDs, and sensors. The 4.7 ns tPD handles fast SPI/UART bridges with deterministic timing, while non-volatile instant-on logic removes the boot latency of an FPGA. Place CPLD inputs on MCU-voltage bank (e.g., 3.3 V VCCIO) and outputs on the peripheral-voltage bank to mix logic levels on a single chip.

🏭

Industrial Control Board Glue Logic

In PLC and industrial automation boards, the EPM240T100C4N serves as glue logic between MCUs, motor drivers, and signal-conditioning ICs. Its 0.18 µm Flash-based architecture provides deterministic 4.7 ns propagation delay that supports real-time control loops. The 80 user I/O pins and bus-hold circuitry simplify address decoding and chip-select generation, while JTAG 1149.1 boundary-scan enables in-system test during board bring-up. Designers use Quartus II to implement state machines for stepper motor sequencing and safety interlocks, where the CPLD's instant-on behavior is critical at factory-reset events.

💡

LED Display Driver and Refresh Controller

LED matrix and seven-segment display systems benefit from the EPM240T100C4N's high-speed GPIO and predictable timing. The 247.5 MHz maximum internal frequency and 4.7 ns tPD handle multiplexed row/column scanning at refresh rates above 1 kHz without flicker. With 80 I/O pins, the device can drive up to 64-bit RGB matrices or multiple 7-segment digits through external drivers. Open-drain output mode supports common-anode displays, while bus-hold eliminates external pull-up resistors on high-impedance signal lines. Designers route display data through the CPLD, freeing the host MCU for higher-level tasks.

🖥️

Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation

The EPM240T100C4N excels at generating chip-select signals for memory and peripheral banks in 8/16/32-bit microprocessor systems. With 4.7 ns propagation delay and 240 logic elements, designers can decode large address spaces and assert multiple chip selects simultaneously with precise timing. This replaces discrete 74HC/HCT logic gates, saving PCB area and improving noise immunity. The CPLD's MultiVolt I/O (1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V) makes it compatible with modern MCUs and older 5 V-tolerant peripherals, while JTAG boundary-scan simplifies prototype debugging.

🌐

Protocol Translation and Interface Bridging

Designers use the EPM240T100C4N as a low-cost protocol bridge between SPI, I2C, UART, and parallel interfaces. The 192 macro cells fit multiple state machines and shift registers, while the 4.7 ns tPD handles SPI master-mode clock rates above 50 MHz. MultiVolt I/O banks allow 1.8 V sensors to interface with 3.3 V MCUs without external level shifters. The device's in-system programmability means firmware engineers can iterate on protocol logic without changing the PCB layout. This is ideal for legacy system migration and adapter boards.

⚡

Power Sequencing and Reset Management

The EPM240T100C4N provides deterministic, instant-on power-up sequencing for multi-rail systems. With Flash-based non-volatile storage, it powers up configured within microseconds, asserting reset signals in the correct order to FPGAs, MCUs, and DDR memory. The 4.7 ns tPD enables precise timing for voltage-monitors and watchdog timers. Designers implement multi-rail sequencing, glitch detection, and power-good signaling without a microcontroller boot dependency. The commercial 0 °C to +85 °C temperature range suits indoor consumer and IT equipment.

EPM240T100C4N vs EPM240T100C5N - which should I choose?
The EPM240T100C4N has a maximum tPD of 4.7 ns (speed grade 4), while the EPM240T100C5N has a tPD of approximately 5.4 ns (speed grade 5). For designs where every nanosecond of propagation delay matters, the EPM240T100C4N is the better choice. However, the C5N is often available at lower cost and with longer stock life. Both share the same 100-pin TQFP package and 192 macro cells, so PCB footprint is identical.
EPM240T100C4N vs EPM240T100I5N - what is the difference?
The EPM240T100C4N operates over the commercial temperature range 0 °C to +85 °C, while the EPM240T100I5N operates over the industrial temperature range -40 °C to +100 °C with a tPD of approximately 5.4 ns. For harsh-environment industrial, automotive, or outdoor applications, the I5N variant is required. The C4N is preferred for cost-sensitive consumer and indoor equipment where industrial temp range is unnecessary.
When should I choose EPM240T100C4N over an FPGA?
Choose the EPM240T100C4N when you need instant-on, non-volatile logic that powers up configured without an external boot PROM. CPLDs are ideal for I/O expansion, bus bridging, address decoding, and glue logic with predictable timing and zero configuration latency. FPGAs offer higher density and DSP/serial-transceiver capability but require boot memory and configuration time. For pure glue logic under 240 logic elements, the EPM240 wins on cost and determinism.
Can EPM240T100C4N replace EPM570T100C4N directly?
No, the EPM240T100C4N and EPM570T100C4N are not drop-in replacements. Although both are 100-pin TQFP MAX II devices, the EPM570 has 570 macro cells and a larger logic capacity. Migrating from EPM570 down to EPM240 requires re-fitting the design to fit within 192 macro cells. According to Altera's MAX II datasheet, vertical migration is supported within the same package, but only upward in density (EPM240 → EPM570 → EPM1270) when more logic is needed.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPM240T100C4N?
The best drop-in replacement is the EPM240T100C5N, which shares the same 100-pin TQFP footprint, 192 macro cells, and core voltage, with only the speed grade differing (5.4 ns vs 4.7 ns). For industrial temperature range, choose EPM240T100I5N. If a same-package speed upgrade is desired, the EPM240T100C3N offers a faster tPD in the same footprint. All three are pin-compatible with the EPM240T100C4N.
Where can I download the EPM240T100C4N datasheet PDF?
The EPM240T100C4N datasheet can be downloaded from Alldatasheet (PDF format, 120 Kbytes) or from Intel's web archive, since Altera was acquired by Intel in 2015. The reference and ordering information PDF is the primary ordering document, while the full MAX II Device Handbook contains architecture, DC characteristics, and JTAG programming details. Octopart also hosts a downloadable datasheet view with linked distributor pricing.
What software is needed to program the EPM240T100C4N?

Operating temperature is 0 °C to +85 °C (commercial). The device is non-volatile and instant-on with no boot PROM required.
What is the best Lattice or Xilinx equivalent to EPM240T100C4N?
Lattice Semiconductor's ispMACH 4000ZE family and Xilinx CoolRunner-II provide functionally similar non-volatile CPLDs in TQFP packages, but they are NOT pin-for-pin drop-in replacements for the EPM240T100C4N. A board redesign (new PCB layout, different JTAG programming tool) is required. If true drop-in replacement is critical, stay within the Altera/Intel MAX II family and choose EPM240T100C5N or EPM240T100C3N as discussed earlier.

Guía de selección

Choose the EPM240T100C4N when you need a RoHS-compliant, non-volatile programmable logic device with 4.7 ns tPD in a 100-pin TQFP for commercial-temperature applications. It is the right choice for instant-on glue logic, I/O expansion, and address decoding where deterministic timing matters more than absolute logic density. Choose EPM240T100C5N instead if your design is timing-tolerant and you want lower cost or better availability. Choose EPM240T100I5N for industrial-temperature (-40 to +100 C) products in the same footprint. Avoid the EPM240GT100C5N unless you specifically need the GPI fast-connect feature of MAX II G - it costs more with no benefit for plain glue logic. For designs needing more than 192 macro cells, vertically migrate to EPM570T100C4N in the same TQFP-100 footprint, but verify pin compatibility for unused macro cells in the lower-density part.

Notas de diseño

The EPM240T100C4N requires two supply rails: a core VCCINT at 2.5 V or 3.3 V, and up to four independent VCCIO bank supplies supporting 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V (MultiVolt). Decouple each VCCIO and VCCINT pin with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the pin, plus a 10 µF bulk capacitor per bank. Power-up sequencing is not required because the device holds I/O in tri-state until configured, but simultaneous ramp of all rails minimizes inrush current.

Use a 4-layer PCB with continuous ground plane under the TQFP-100 footprint for return-path integrity. Route all JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) as a matched-length bus with 33 Ω series-termination resistors at the CPLD end to suppress ringing. Keep configuration signals away from fast-switching outputs. The exposed thermal pad is not present on this TQFP package, but adequate copper pour around all 100 pins improves thermal performance for high-utilization designs.

Do not leave unused I/O pins floating - configure them as outputs driving ground or enable the internal weak pull-up via Quartus II. Floating inputs can draw excess current and inject noise into adjacent logic. Also note that the 'C4' speed grade (4.7 ns tPD) and 'C5' (5.4 ns) are NOT interchangeable in timing-critical paths without re-fitting the design - the fitter reports show different delays and may fail timing closure if swapped carelessly.

Group I/O by bank in the Quartus pin planner to match VCCIO domains on the PCB. Place high-speed outputs (clock, JTAG TDO) on dedicated pins away from sensitive analog signals. Maintain 3W spacing between parallel high-frequency traces (e.g., clock and high-speed counters) to reduce crosstalk below 5%. When migrating between MAX II density points (EPM240, EPM570, EPM1270) in the same TQFP-100, verify that the unused macro cells in lower-density parts are not assigned to reserved pin locations.
