Typical Applications

5M240ZM100A5N is suitable for 7 applications: Industrial I/O Expansion and Level Shifting, Power-Up Sequencing and Reset Distribution, Bus Bridging for Microcontroller Peripherals, JTAG-Controlled Board Test Access, Portable and Handheld Equipment Logic, Networking Line Card Glue Logic, Legacy Interface Replacement (TTL/CMOS Glue Logic).

🏭

Industrial I/O Expansion and Level Shifting

The 5M240ZM100A5N is a natural fit for industrial I/O expansion and voltage translation because it offers 79 user I/O pins distributed across four MultiVolt banks that each run from an independent VCCIO supply (1.2 V to 3.3 V). In a typical PLC backplane, the CPLD sits between a 3.3 V microcontroller and a mix of 1.8 V sensors, 2.5 V legacy logic, and 5 V-tolerant field I/O, translating levels without external resistor dividers. Its 192 macrocells are sufficient for input debouncing, output pulse-stretching, and protocol conversion (e.g., parallel-to-SPI) on a single instant-on device, removing the need for several discrete logic chips.

Power-Up Sequencing and Reset Distribution

Multi-rail systems (FPGAs, ASICs, RF transceivers) require rails to come up in a specific order with controlled rise times to avoid latch-up. The 5M240ZM100A5N's non-volatile flash configuration is available within microseconds of VCCINT reaching 1.8 V, so its outputs can drive external MOSFET gate-enable pins and PGOOD signals earlier than any FPGA with multi-millisecond configuration time. The device draws only ~25 µA standby current, so a supervisor IC can hold it in reset indefinitely without draining the system battery. With 192 macrocells and JTAG-driven register control, multi-rail sequencing for up to 8 rails fits in a single part.

🌐

Bus Bridging for Microcontroller Peripherals

Modern microcontrollers often lack the parallel bus or legacy peripheral interface required by older peripherals (NAND flash, character LCDs, SRAM, parallel ADCs). The 5M240ZM100A5N acts as a transparent bridge, converting an SPI or I2C port on the MCU side into a 16-bit or 32-bit parallel bus on the peripheral side, with programmable timing and chip-select generation. Up to 79 I/O pins handle the wide parallel data plus control signals, and the 8 Kbit on-chip user flash can store peripheral parameter tables. The instant-on flash configuration means the bridge is operational as soon as power is applied - no boot firmware is required to bring it up.

🧩

JTAG-Controlled Board Test Access

Boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) is the de facto standard for board-level interconnect test, and the 5M240ZM100A5N integrates the JTAG TAP controller with up to 79 boundary-scan-capable I/O pins. Designers route the 4-wire JTAG chain through the CPLD to gain free access to every I/O pin for interconnect tests, and can also use the JTAG port for in-system programming of the on-chip flash. The non-volatile storage means the test configuration is present at first power-on without any boot sequence - critical in production test where the unit under test may not yet be running its application firmware.

📱

Portable and Handheld Equipment Logic

Battery-powered designs - handheld scanners, portable medical instruments, field test gear - benefit from the MAX V family's 25 µA typical standby current and instant-on non-volatile flash, which together minimize both sleep-mode drain and time-to-useful-output. The 100-ball Micro FBGA package occupies only ~25 mm² of board area, leaving room for compact handheld form factors. The 1.8 V core supply is well matched to modern lithium-ion PMIC outputs, so the CPLD can be powered directly from a buck regulator without an additional LDO.

🌐

Networking Line Card Glue Logic

Networking line cards combine switch ASICs, PHYs, optical modules, and clock generators that must be configured, monitored, and reset through a mix of I2C, SPI, MDIO, and GPIO. The 5M240ZM100A5N provides 79 user I/Os, which is sufficient to manage 4-8 SFP/SFP+ module I2C channels, several PHY reset and interrupt lines, and front-panel LEDs, while the 8 Kbit user flash stores module inventory and board revision data accessible over MDIO. The CPLD's deterministic timing and instant-on behavior are valued in line cards where port LEDs and link-status signals must be live within the first 100 ms of boot.

🔧

Legacy Interface Replacement (TTL/CMOS Glue Logic)

When discrete 74-series TTL or CMOS logic gates are reaching end-of-life or are no longer cost-effective, the 5M240ZM100A5N can replace a board-full of AND, OR, XOR, latch, and decoder functions in a single chip. With 192 macrocells, a designer can implement hundreds of equivalent gates in one BGA, eliminating BOM cost, board area, and assembly defects while gaining JTAG-driven observability and revision control. The instant-on flash is particularly attractive for replacement designs that must look identical to legacy logic at power-on, with no firmware boot or external configuration PROM required.

What is the 5M240ZM100A5N and what family does it belong to?
The 5M240ZM100A5N is a MAX V family Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from Intel (formerly Altera) that delivers 192 macrocells, 240 logic elements, 79 maximum user I/O pins, and 8 Kbits of user flash in a 100-ball Micro FBGA package. According to the Altera/Intel MAX V Device Handbook, MAX V CPLDs are non-volatile, flash-programmable, instant-on devices that target low-power glue-logic, bus-bridging, and I/O-expansion applications in industrial and consumer systems.
How many I/O pins and macrocells does the 5M240ZM100A5N provide?
The 5M240ZM100A5N provides 79 maximum user I/O pins and 192 macrocells organized into 192 logic array blocks. This density places it in the mid-range of the MAX V family, suiting designs that need more I/O than the smaller 5M160Z (68-pin) but do not require the larger 5M2210Z or 5M1270Z variants. The 8 Kbit on-chip user flash is shared between configuration storage and user data, with the split selected in Quartus.
What is the operating voltage range of the 5M240ZM100A5N?
The 5M240ZM100A5N core operates from a 1.8 V VCCINT supply, while every I/O bank is independently powered by VCCIO from 1.2 V up to 3.3 V. This MultiVolt I/O architecture lets the device bridge 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic on the same board. According to the MAX V datasheet DC chapter, all I/O pins are 5 V-tolerant only when the bank VCCIO is 3.3 V; below 3.3 V the input voltage must not exceed VCCIO.
What is the maximum operating frequency of the 5M240ZM100A5N?
The 5M240ZM100A5N is rated for a maximum internal performance of 184.1 MHz (per FindIC) and 118.3 MHz per other distributor listings - both figures come from the A5 speed-grade timing model in the MAX V datasheet. Actual performance depends on the logic-routing path and I/O standard selected in Quartus II / Quartus Prime; CPLD pin-to-pin delay is deterministic and typically 3-5 ns regardless of logic depth, which is the key advantage over SRAM FPGAs in timing-critical glue logic.
What is the difference between 5M240ZM100A5N and 5M240ZT100A5N?
Both parts belong to the MAX V family and share the same 192-macrocell density and 100-ball footprint; the 'M' suffix denotes the Micro FBGA package while the 'T' suffix denotes the EQFP-100 (plastic thin QFP) package. The Micro FBGA 'M' version offers smaller board area, whereas the EQFP 'T' version is easier to prototype and inspect. Both are pin-compatible at the JTAG/programming interface, but PCB layout and ball/lead footprints are NOT interchangeable; the two are NOT drop-in for each other on the same PCB.
Where can I buy the 5M240ZM100A5N and what does it cost?
The 5M240ZM100A5N is in stock at Heisener (28,824 pieces listed as of 2026-09-06) and at secondary-channel distributors including Partstack, Xecor, Richard Electronics, and Jotrin. Mouser and DigiKey list the part in their catalogs with pricing available on request. Typical unit pricing scales from roughly USD 6.20 at qty 1 to about USD 3.95 at qty 1000 (as of 2026-09-06), with lead time quoted as 'To be Confirmed' through Heisener.
Is the 5M240ZM100A5N in stock and what is the lead time?
Yes, the 5M240ZM100A5N is listed in stock with 28,824 pieces at Heisener and is available through independent franchised distributors including Mouser and Xecor as of 2026-09-06. Standard lead time for the part is approximately Jun 5 - Jun 10 (Heisener listing), with expedited shipping offered for engineering samples. Because Altera/Intel MAX V is a mature, multi-sourced product, lead times rarely exceed 8-12 weeks even at volume.
What is the price of the 5M240ZM100A5N at 1, 100, and 1000 pieces?
Per current distributor data (as of 2026-09-06), the 5M240ZM100A5N breaks at approximately USD 6.20 at qty 1, USD 4.97 at qty 100, and USD 3.95 at qty 1000, with further breaks at qty 10 (USD 5.58) and qty 500 (USD 4.40). Volume pricing typically requires an RFQ through Mouser, DigiKey, or Heisener; pricing can vary +/- 15 % depending on distributor stock and reel integrity.
5M240ZM100A5N vs 5M2210ZF256A5N - which is better for a 79-I/O glue-logic design?
For a 79-I/O design that must remain in the 100-ball Micro FBGA footprint, the 5M240ZM100A5N is the correct choice; the 5M2210ZF256A5N uses a larger 256-ball FBGA and adds density (2210 LUTs equivalent and ~5x more logic) you may not need. However, if you anticipate growth past 240 LEs and want headroom on the same board layout family, the 5M2210ZF256A5N is the right scalability choice, provided your PCB can be re-laid out for the larger BGA footprint.
Can the 5M160ZM100A5N replace the 5M240ZM100A5N as a drop-in?
No, the 5M160ZM100A5N is not a drop-in replacement for the 5M240ZM100A5N even though both share the 100-ball Micro FBGA package. The 5M160Z family only provides 160 macrocells versus 192 macrocells and 240 LEs in the 5M240Z; designs that use more than 160 macrocells would not fit. The 5M160ZM100A5N is a footprint-compatible, density-reduced option only for designs that can tolerate lower logic capacity.
When should I choose the 5M240ZM100A5N over a small FPGA?
Choose the 5M240ZM100A5N over a small FPGA when your design needs non-volatile single-chip instant-on operation, deterministic pin-to-pin timing under 5 ns, very low standby current (~25 µA typical for this family), and a small package. FPGAs such as Cyclone IV/V are better for designs that need more than ~5K LEs, soft-core processors, or large embedded block RAM; the MAX V is the right choice for glue logic, power sequencing, and interface bridging.
Is the 5M240ZM100A5N suitable for industrial and automotive designs?
The 5M240ZM100A5N is rated for industrial temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C) per the 'A5N' suffix and is well suited to factory automation, industrial control, and ruggedized embedded designs. It is not, however, AEC-Q100 qualified; for AEC-Q100 automotive applications, designers should select an AEC-Q100-qualified CPLD or FPGA from the Intel MAX 10 / Cyclone V automotive families. Verify certification per project requirement in the supplier compliance documentation.
Where can I download the 5M240ZM100A5N datasheet PDF?
The official 5M240ZM100A5N datasheet is part of the MAX V Device Handbook published by Intel (formerly Altera), available at https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/lit-hb/max-v/lit_maxv.html. Third-party hosted PDFs also exist at alterasemi.com and various distributor portals. Always cross-check the document revision date against the Intel Programmable Solutions Group website before relying on parameters, as MAX V has had multiple datasheet revisions.
What software do I need to program the 5M240ZM100A5N?
The 5M240ZM100A5N is programmed using Quartus II (legacy) or Quartus Prime (current) design software from Intel, with the free Quartus Prime Lite edition supporting the MAX V family for synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and JTAG programming. Programming hardware includes the USB-Blaster, ByteBlaster II, or any compatible JTAG cable. The .pof (Programmer Object File) is loaded into the on-chip flash via JTAG and persists across power cycles.
What is the pinout and ball map of the 5M240ZM100A5N 100-ball Micro FBGA?
The 5M240ZM100A5N uses a 100-ball Micro FBGA arranged on a 0.5 mm pitch grid with JTAG balls (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) and dedicated clock, configuration, and I/O bank power balls distributed across the array. The exact ball map is published in the MAX V Device Handbook Chapter 2 'Pin Information' and depends on the package code (M100). Designers should use the Quartus Pin Planner with the 'MAX V 100-pin Micro FBGA' device package to assign pins and verify bank VCCIO compatibility.

Selection Guide

Choose the 5M240ZM100A5N when you need 192 macrocells of non-volatile, instant-on glue logic in the smallest MAX V package (100-ball Micro FBGA) and operate over the industrial temperature range. If your design fits in 160 macrocells or has tight cost targets, step down to the 5M160ZM100A5N - it is the same 100-ball footprint, fewer logic resources, and a lower unit price. If you need the same 192-macrocell die in a leaded package for easier prototyping or hand-solder rework, choose the 5M240ZT100A5N (100-pin EQFP), but expect to re-layout the PCB because the lead and ball patterns are NOT interchangeable. For designs that anticipate scaling past 240 logic elements (5M240Z ceiling), move to the 5M2210ZF256A5N with 256-ball FBGA and 2210 LEs; this requires a board re-layout but reuses the same Quartus toolchain and JTAG chain. For commercial-temperature (0 to +85 °C) applications the 5M240ZM100C5N is the same die in a C5 speed grade at lower cost. Avoid MAX V altogether if you need more than ~5K LEs, soft-core processors, or large block RAM; in that case select a Cyclone IV/V or MAX 10 FPGA instead.

Key Differentiators

  • Highest macrocell density in MAX V family with industrial-grade speed grade A5 (vs 5M160ZM100A5N)
  • Smallest 100-ball Micro FBGA footprint option at 192 macrocells (vs 5M240ZT100A5N)
  • Drop-in 256-ball upgrade path to MAX V 5M2210 family (vs 5M2210ZF256A5N)
  • Non-volatile flash configuration eliminates external boot PROM (vs SRAM-based FPGAs (Cyclone, etc.))

Design Notes

Estimated: at VCCINT = 1.8 V drawing 25 µA typical standby + ~20 mA peak user-logic current, the 5M240ZM100A5N core consumes roughly 36 mW active and 45 µW standby. Use a low-noise LDO or buck regulator with 1.8 V output rated for at least 100 mA; pair with a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor within 3 mm of each VCCINT ball and a 10 µF bulk tantalum or ceramic on the supply rail. VCCIO banks must each have their own 0.1 µF + 10 µF decoupling pair and must not share a ferrite with VCCINT.

The 100-ball Micro FBGA uses a 0.5 mm pitch; route escape on a 4-layer or 6-layer stack-up with a solid ground plane on layer 2 directly under the BGA. Use micro-vias (laser-drilled, 0.1 mm pad / 0.05 mm hole) for inner-row breakout and avoid dog-bone fan-outs on outer rows where possible. Maintain a continuous ground return under the BGA and avoid routing signal traces under the package outline. Match all differential pairs (LVDS) within 0.5 mm of each other and within 100 µm length difference.

Assign I/O pins by I/O bank: place all 5 V-tolerant signals in the bank whose VCCIO = 3.3 V, all 1.8 V signals in the bank whose VCCIO = 1.8 V, etc. Never drive an input above its bank VCCIO; failure to group by bank will result in input leakage or latch-up. Reserve the dedicated JTAG balls (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) for JTAG only - these are not usable as user I/O. Place a 4.7 kΩ pull-up on TCK and TMS to keep the TAP in a known state during power-up.

Do not hot-swap or power-cycle the JTAG chain while the CPLD is in user mode without pausing the JTAG clock - excessive TCK toggling can confuse the on-chip TAP state machine and require a power cycle to recover. Always include a 10 kΩ pull-up on nCONFIG/nCE-equivalent pins if present in your board design, and place a 100 ms POR delay in any external supervisor before JTAG access. Avoid programming the device flash above 85 °C - erase/program operations are not guaranteed at industrial high-temperature limits.

For LVDS or RSDS outputs, route the complementary pair on the same layer with matched length (delta < 50 mil / 1.27 mm) and matched impedance (100 Ω differential). Keep SSTL or HSTL class outputs on inner layers and reference them to the VCCIO plane, not the ground plane. Add a 33 Ω series-termination resistor at the CPLD output pin if the trace length exceeds 25 mm or the receiver is more than 50 mm away.
