Typical Applications
5M160ZM100C5N is suitable for 7 applications: Microcontroller I/O Expansion and Bus Bridging, Multi-Rail Power-Up/Power-Down Sequencing, JTAG-Based Configuration Controller for Companion FPGAs, Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation, Discrete 74-Series Glue Logic Replacement, Industrial Control Logic and Interface Bridging, Portable Consumer Device Interface Controllers.
Microcontroller I/O Expansion and Bus Bridging
The 5M160ZM100C5N's 79 user I/Os in a 6 x 6 mm MBGA-100 package, combined with 160 logic elements and 1.2-3.3 V VCCIO bank support, make it a high-density bridge between low-pin-count microcontrollers and parallel peripherals. Placed between an MCU with limited GPIO and a 16-bit LCD, SRAM, or SD card interface, the CPLD decodes addresses and generates chip-select signals with 7.9 ns propagation delay - far faster than software bit-banging. Unlike microcontrollers, the CPLD boots instantly from internal flash with deterministic timing, so peripherals are ready at power-on without firmware intervention.
Recommended
Multi-Rail Power-Up/Power-Down Sequencing
The 5M160ZM100C5N is widely used as a deterministic power-sequencer in systems with 3-8 voltage rails that must come up in a strict order to prevent latch-up. Its internal flash configuration boots in microseconds - before any MCU firmware runs - allowing the CPLD to assert enable signals to DC-DC converters with 7.9 ns deterministic delay between stages. The 1.8 V core draws minimal quiescent current, and the multi-voltage VCCIO banks drive 3.3 V and 5 V enable inputs directly. Compared to discrete RC delay chains, the CPLD approach is reprogrammable and field-updatable.
Recommended
JTAG-Based Configuration Controller for Companion FPGAs
In systems pairing a MAX V CPLD with an SRAM-based FPGA (such as Cyclone IV/V or MAX 10), the 5M160ZM100C5N can serve as the configuration master, loading the FPGA's bitstream from SPI flash and driving the FPGA's nCONFIG, nSTATUS, and CONFIG_DONE pins. The CPLD's IEEE 1532 JTAG interface simplifies board-level test access, and the 79 user I/Os provide ample headroom for status LEDs, mode selects, and configuration handshake signals. This configuration-controller role eliminates the need for an external configuration PROM in low-cost FPGA designs.
Recommended
Address Decoding and Chip-Select Generation
The 5M160ZM100C5N's 160 logic elements and 7.9 ns propagation delay make it ideal for high-speed address decoding in memory subsystems where multiple peripherals share a parallel bus. Place the CPLD between the system bus and memory/peripheral chip-select lines; with 79 user I/Os it can decode up to a 24-bit address space and generate 8-12 independent chip-select outputs. Unlike discrete 74-series decoders, the CPLD allows any address map to be programmed via Quartus without rewiring.
Recommended
Discrete 74-Series Glue Logic Replacement
A single 5M160ZM100C5N can replace 20-40 discrete 74HC/74AHC logic gates (AND, OR, NAND, flip-flops, multiplexers, latches), shrinking BOM cost and PCB area. With 79 user I/Os in a 6 x 6 mm MBGA-100 package, the CPLD fits where a board would otherwise carry a dozen SOT-23 or SOIC gates. The internal flash allows late-stage design changes via JTAG without board rework, and the 1.8 V core with multi-voltage VCCIO banks allows the CPLD to interface seamlessly with legacy 5 V and modern 1.8 V logic.
Recommended
Industrial Control Logic and Interface Bridging
In industrial PLCs, motor controllers, and factory-automation I/O modules, the 5M160ZM100C5N bridges RS-485, RS-232, SPI, I2C, and parallel industrial buses while providing debouncing, edge detection, and protocol conversion. Its commercial 0-85C temperature range covers most indoor industrial enclosures, and the 100-ball MBGA package withstands typical factory vibration profiles when properly PCB-mounted. The 79 user I/Os allow direct connection to multiple optically-isolated industrial I/O channels.
Recommended
Portable Consumer Device Interface Controllers
The compact 6 x 6 mm MBGA-100 footprint and 1.8 V core voltage make the 5M160ZM100C5N suitable for handheld consumer devices where PCB real estate is at a premium. It handles display timing generation for small LCDs, keypad scanning, LED matrix driving, and battery-management handshaking - tasks that would otherwise burden the main application processor. The instant-on flash-based configuration means the CPLD is ready before the application CPU completes its boot sequence, enabling fast user-perceived power-on times.

Key Differentiators
- Largest user I/O count in 100-ball MAX V CPLD family (vs 5M160ZE64I5N)
- Highest speed grade (C5) in 160-LE MAX V CPLD family (vs 5M160ZM100C4N)
- Cross-brand drop-in path to higher LUT density (vs LCMXO2-256ZE-100MG132I)
Design Notes
The 5M160ZM100C5N operates from a single 1.8 V VCCINT supply plus one or more VCCIO bank supplies (1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V). All VCCINT and VCCIO pins must be connected; unused VCCIO banks can be tied to 1.8 V to minimize I/O leakage. Estimated core current at 184 MHz is ~25 mA for a fully-utilized design, so a 100 mA LDO is sufficient. Add 100 nF decoupling on each VCC pin placed within 5 mm of the ball.
The MBGA-100 package has 0.5 mm pitch balls on a 6 x 6 mm footprint, requiring 4-layer PCB with microvia-in-pad or via-in-pad construction for reliable assembly. Apply the manufacturer's recommended land pattern with non-solder-mask-defined (NSMD) pads and a solder mask dam between balls. Match the impedance of JTAG and clock traces to 50 ohms if longer than 25 mm, and keep JTAG signals away from switching power rails to avoid programming interference.
Do not mix VCCIO bank voltages above 3.3 V - the 5M160Z family I/Os are not 5 V tolerant unless explicitly documented for that bank. Do not leave VCCIO floating; floating bank supplies can cause unpredictable I/O behavior and inrush during power-up. When migrating from 5M160Z (1.8 V core) to MAX 10 or Cyclone FPGAs, do not assume JTAG pinout compatibility - verify with Quartus pin planner.
For high-speed outputs above 100 MHz, use the Quartus Slow Slew Rate and Current Strength settings to control edge rates and ground bounce. Series-terminate clock outputs with 22-33 ohm resistors if driving long traces (>50 mm) on the same layer. The 79 user I/Os are split across multiple banks; co-locate timing-critical signals within the same bank to minimize bank-to-bank skew.
