EPM570T100A5N - 570 LEs, 440 Macrocells, MAX II CPLD | Altera
The Altera EPM570T100A5N is a non-volatile, low-power MAX II Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) delivering 570 logic elements, 440 macrocells, and 76 user I/O pins in a 100-pin TQFP package. Built on a 0.18 µm flash-based process, the part operates across 1.5 V to 3.3 V core supply rails with user I/O bank support from 1.5 V to 5.0 V for flexible mixed-voltage system bridging. The 'A5' speed grade provides 5.4 ns pin-to-pin logic delay and a maximum internal operating frequency near 304 MHz, suitable for glue logic, bus interfacing, and control-plane state machines.
A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile programmable logic device that combines multiple PLA-style logic blocks (Logic Array Blocks, or LABs) on a single chip with a global interconnect matrix. CPLDs are positioned below FPGAs in cost and complexity but above simple PALs/GALs in density, and they retain their configuration without an external configuration memory. In the broader programmable logic taxonomy, CPLDs sit alongside FPGAs as programmable logic devices, both derived from programmable read-only memory technology, and serve as power-management companion logic, bus interfaces, and deterministic boot-time controllers.
Key features include instant-on (no boot PROM required thanks to on-chip flash), 1.8 V internal core voltage, MultiVolt™ I/O supporting 1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V interfaces, JTAG-based IEEE 1149.1 in-system programmability, and a 4-wire JTAG chain for boundary-scan testing. The device also offers 8 Kbits of user flash memory (UFM) for storing parameters, serial numbers, or small configuration tables, plus a built-in oscillator that supports common asynchronous tasks without external clocks.
Architecturally, the EPM570T100A5N combines a non-volatile flash configuration cell array with a deterministic logic fabric that delivers predictable, jitter-free timing well suited to control applications. Compared with SRAM-based FPGAs, MAX II CPLDs are immune to configuration-memory bit-flip events and require no external boot device, reducing BOM cost and PCB footprint.
Typical applications include I/O expansion and voltage translation between 3.3 V MCUs and 5.0 V peripherals, power-sequencing logic for multi-rail systems, LED display refresh and multiplexing controllers, industrial bus bridges (SPI, I2C, UART), and FPGA/CPLD configuration-memory replacement. Designers favor MAX II for designs that need deterministic boot, low standby power, and minimal board area.
When designing, allow sufficient decoupling on each VCCINT and VCCIO bank, and observe the I/O bank grouping rules from the Altera MAX II Device Handbook. Route JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) with short, parallel traces and a 4.7 kΩ pull-up on TCK. Avoid using the I/O banks above 3.3 V when the connected peripherals only need 3.3 V, to minimize EMI and simplify signal integrity.
