5M2210ZF324I5N Overview
What is a CPLD? A Complex Programmable Logic Device is a non-volatile programmable logic device that combines the instant-on characteristics of small PAL/GAL architectures with the higher logic density and I/O count of an FPGA-like fabric. In the broader system hierarchy, a CPLD sits below an FPGA in density but above discrete 74-series glue logic, and is most commonly used for I/O expansion, bus bridging, power-sequencing logic, and control-plane state machines in industrial, communications, and consumer designs. The MAX V family specifically targets low standby power (down to 25 uA typical) and instant-on operation after power-up.
Key features of the 5M2210ZF324I5N include 2210 LEs, up to 272 user I/O pins, 172 Kbits of user flash, internal oscillator support, JTAG and ISP programming, hot-socketing tolerance, and a commercial-to-industrial operating temperature range up to +100 C junction. The device is built on a 1.8 V core process with multi-voltage I/O banks that support LVCMOS, LVTTL, and LVDS-style signaling on the same die, eliminating the need for external level translation. The 324-ball FBGA package offers high board-density routing with the supply/ground pin distribution needed for low-EMI operation in noise-sensitive control loops.
Architecturally, the MAX V CPLD uses a non-volatile flash-based Look-Up Table (LUT) array combined with a global routing fabric, providing instant-on behavior (sub-1 ms configuration) and infinite in-system reprogrammability. The integrated flash eliminates an external boot PROM and reduces total BOM count versus SRAM-based FPGAs that require a configuration memory. JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) and a passive serial configuration port are supported for in-system programming and boundary-scan test.
Typical applications include industrial control and I/O expansion modules, telecommunications line cards and backplane glue logic, consumer electronics display and key-scan interfaces, automotive body and infotainment subsystems, and any embedded design that requires low standby power combined with deterministic instant-on behavior. The wide VCCIO range also makes the device a strong fit for mixed-voltage designs that bridge 3.3 V MCUs to 1.8 V ASICs or FPGAs.
When designing with this device, pay attention to VCCINT decoupling (1.8 V core) and place a 0.1 uF plus 10 uF capacitor pair close to each supply pin group. Configure unused I/O banks as LVCMOS inputs with internal weak pull-ups to reduce in-rush current at hot insertion. Quartus Prime or the legacy MAX+PLUS II toolchain is used to compile and program the device.

Typical Applications
5M2210ZF324I5N is suitable for 6 applications: Industrial I/O Expansion and Glue Logic, Telecommunications Backplane Bridging, Automotive Body Electronics and Infotainment, Consumer Electronics Display and Key-Scan Interfaces, Power Sequencing and Supervisory Logic, Motor Control and PWM Generation.
Industrial I/O Expansion and Glue Logic
The 5M2210ZF324I5N is purpose-built for industrial I/O expansion where an MCU's native GPIO is insufficient. With 2210 LEs, 272 user I/Os, and multi-voltage VCCIO support (1.2 V to 3.3 V), the device bridges 3.3 V MCUs to 1.8 V sensors, opto-isolators, and 5 V-tolerant legacy peripherals in a single chip. Its 1.8 V VCCINT core (1.71 V to 1.89 V) draws only 25 uA typical standby current, ideal for always-on industrial controllers. Designers typically pair the CPLD with an STM32 or similar MCU to handle address decoding, PWM fan control, and watchdog logic that would otherwise consume main-processor cycles.
Recommended
Telecommunications Backplane Bridging
The 5M2210ZF324I5N serves as a deterministic, instant-on glue-logic bridge on telecom line cards where sub-millisecond boot is mandatory after power-up or brown-out recovery. The MAX V family's non-volatile flash configuration boots without an external boot PROM, while 172 Kbits of user flash accommodates small lookup tables and revision IDs. The 324-ball FBGA package supports high-pin-count parallel buses typical of TDM/PCM backplane interfaces, and the multi-voltage VCCIO banks interface cleanly to both legacy 3.3 V framers and modern 1.8 V SerDes logic on the same board.
Recommended
Automotive Body Electronics and Infotainment
With an industrial temperature range of -40 C to +100 C junction and hot-socketing tolerance, the 5M2210ZF324I5N suits automotive body controllers, HVAC modules, and infotainment I/O hubs. The 2210 LEs handle CAN/LIN gateway logic, key-scan matrices, and backlight PWM without burdening the main MCU. The non-volatile instant-on behavior is critical for CAN wake-up sequences that must complete within 100 ms of ignition. The 324-ball FBGA footprint supports dense routing on space-constrained instrument-cluster PCBs.
Recommended
Consumer Electronics Display and Key-Scan Interfaces
The 5M2210ZF324I5N's 272 user I/Os and instant-on flash configuration make it ideal for consumer product front-panel interfaces such as dishwasher, washing-machine, and microwave keypads that require 16x8 or larger key-scan matrices. The CPLD decodes the matrix, debounces inputs, drives LED backlight PWM at 200 Hz to 1 kHz, and presents a clean I2C or SPI interface to the main MCU. Standby current of 25 uA typical keeps always-on appliances within Energy Star idle budgets.
Recommended
Power Sequencing and Supervisory Logic
The 5M2210ZF324I5N excels at multi-rail power sequencing in FPGA-based designs, DSP modules, and ASIC prototyping boards where multiple voltage rails (1.0 V, 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 3.3 V) must come up in a specific order. The CPLD's multi-voltage VCCIO banks interface directly to each rail's PG (power-good) signal, and the device drives discrete MOSFET gate signals or EN pins on point-of-load converters. The instant-on flash eliminates the boot-PROM requirement seen with SRAM-based PLDs, while JTAG support enables in-system reprogramming of the sequencing script.
Recommended
Motor Control and PWM Generation
The 5M2210ZF324I5N generates precise, multi-channel PWM waveforms for BLDC motor control, stepper sequencing, and solenoid drivers where dedicated MCUs are overkill. Up to 272 user I/Os and deterministic pin-to-pin propagation delay support complementary PWM pairs with dead-time insertion, while the multi-voltage I/O banks interface directly to 3.3 V gate drivers or 1.8 V DSP controllers. JTAG-based ISP enables field firmware updates for motor-control calibration tables without disassembly.

Key Differentiators
- Highest logic density in the MAX V 324-ball FBGA family (vs 5M1270ZF324I5N)
- Industrial temperature grade for harsh environments (vs 5M2210ZF324C4N)
- Multi-voltage I/O in a single device (vs 5M160ZE64I5N (MAX V E64-package lower-density cousin))
Design Notes
The 5M2210ZF324I5N requires a clean 1.8 V VCCINT rail (1.71 V to 1.89 V) and one or more VCCIO rails (1.2 V to 3.3 V). Place a 0.1 uF X7R ceramic capacitor within 3 mm of each VCCINT pin pair, and a single 10 uF bulk capacitor per VCCIO bank. Use a ferrite bead on the VCCINT feed if the upstream LDO is shared with a noisy switching converter. Power-up sequence is not strictly required (the device is hot-socketing tolerant), but a monotonic 1.8 V ramp avoids I/O tri-state glitches during initialization.
The 324-ball FBGA has a 1.0 mm ball pitch, which requires laser-drilled micro-vias and a 4-layer or 6-layer stack-up for reliable assembly. Escape-route all VCCINT and GND balls to inner ground/power planes with short stubs (less than 0.5 mm). Keep JTAG TDI/TDO/TMS/TCK traces short (under 50 mm) and length-matched to within 5 mm. Use 0.8 mm or 1.0 mm BGA escape vias and follow Intel/Altera's reference layout in the MAX V handbook for fan-out details.
Estimated: at typical commercial use with 50% I/O toggling at 50 MHz, the 5M2210ZF324I5N dissipates roughly 0.3 W to 0.6 W. The 324-ball FBGA has a theta-JA of approximately 25 C/W on a JEDEC 4-layer test board, giving a junction-to-ambient rise of 8 C to 15 C. At the +100 C industrial junction limit, this keeps the design within safe thermal envelopes. For higher I/O toggle rates or extended industrial enclosures, use thermal vias under the package center balls to a dedicated ground plane.
Do not leave unused I/O pins floating - configure them as LVCMOS inputs with internal weak pull-up enabled, or drive them to a defined state in the Quartus pin planner, to avoid in-rush current at power-up. Do not apply VCCIO before VCCINT - while hot-socketing is supported, simultaneous power-up with VCCIO ahead of VCCINT by more than 100 ms can trigger I/O latch-up. Finally, when migrating from MAX II designs, note that MAX V has a different User Flash programming algorithm; recompile the POF file in Quartus Prime.
