5M570ZM100C5N Overview
A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile programmable logic device that combines multiple PAL/GAL-like logic blocks on a single die with a central interconnect matrix. It sits in the broader programmable logic hierarchy as follows: CPLD -> programmable logic device (PLD) -> logic IC -> semiconductor. Compared to FPGAs, CPLDs offer deterministic timing, instant-on non-volatile configuration, lower static power, and superior suitability for glue-logic, I/O expansion, bus-interface bridging, and power-up control tasks. The MAX V family uses a flash-based configuration cell that retains bitstream without an external boot PROM, distinguishing it from SRAM-based FPGAs.
Key features include 440 macro cells distributed across 8 logic array blocks (LABs) with 57 per LAB, 440 flip-flops, 8 Kbits of user flash memory (UFM) for on-chip parameter storage, JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) and in-system programmability through Altera / Intel Quartus II or Quartus Prime, and 1.8 V core supply. The device supports multi-voltage I/O at 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V, providing flexible interfacing without external level shifters.
The 5M570ZM100C5N uses a low-k 6-metal-layer CMOS process on a flash-based configuration cell. The non-volatile flash cell array eliminates configuration time at power-up, delivering < 1 ms I/O readiness, which is critical for system control plane functions that must be active before any FPGA or processor completes its boot sequence. The 100-MBGA package exposes the full MAX V feature set with maximum user I/O count for its logic density tier.
Typical applications include I/O expansion and glue-logic in industrial controllers, bus-interface bridging (e.g., parallel-to-LVDS or SPI-to-parallel), power-sequencer and reset-distribution networks, FPGA configuration and boot logic, and PCI/PCI-X interface arbitration. The non-volatile instant-on behavior also makes it well suited to safety-critical and brownout-resilient control paths.
When designing with the 5M570ZM100C5N, route all four GND balls to a continuous ground plane directly under the package to minimize inductance on simultaneous-switching outputs. Use a 0.1 µF X7R bypass capacitor on every VCCIO bank plus a single 10 µF bulk capacitor on VCCINT; place these within 100 mils of their respective balls.

Typical Applications
5M570ZM100C5N is suitable for 6 applications: Industrial PLC I/O Expansion & Glue Logic, FPGA Configuration & Power-Sequencer Controller, Bus-Interface Bridging (Parallel to LVDS / SPI to Parallel), Consumer Electronics Display Control & Backplane Logic, Automotive Aftermarket ECU Customization & Brownout-Safe Logic, Telecom Line Card Glue Logic & Clock Distribution.
Industrial PLC I/O Expansion & Glue Logic
The 5M570ZM100C5N is well suited to industrial PLC I/O expansion where it provides 74 user I/O with multi-voltage 1.5 V to 3.3 V VCCIO support, enabling direct interface to 3.3 V logic sensors and 5 V tolerant legacy peripherals. Its non-volatile flash configuration boots in under 1 ms at power-up, so it is active before any downstream MCU or FPGA finishes initialization, making it ideal for pre-boot reset distribution and bus-isolation gating. The 440 macro cells and 118.3 MHz fMAX handle medium-complexity state machines such as encoder decoding, PWM generation, and interlock logic without consuming MCU cycles.
Recommended
FPGA Configuration & Power-Sequencer Controller
The 5M570ZM100C5N's instant-on non-volatile flash configuration makes it ideal for controlling FPGA power-up sequencing and configuration handshaking. The CPLD can assert the FPGA PROGn line, monitor the CONF_DONE signal, and switch clock mux sources before the FPGA finishes its SRAM-based configuration, eliminating the need for a separate microcontroller. With 9 ns tPD and 118.3 MHz fMAX, the part can implement complex state machines that satisfy multi-rail power-up order requirements (e.g., 0.8 V core before 1.8 V PHY before 3.3 V IO) with deterministic timing.
Recommended
Bus-Interface Bridging (Parallel to LVDS / SPI to Parallel)
The 5M570ZM100C5N's 74 user I/O and 440 macro cells are sufficient to implement common bus-bridge protocols such as parallel-to-LVDS conversion, SPI-to-parallel register expansion, or I2C-to-parallel GPIO extenders. Its multi-voltage VCCIO banks (1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V) eliminate external level shifters when bridging between legacy 3.3 V MCUs and modern 1.8 V SoCs. With 118.3 MHz internal fMAX, the CPLD can sustain aggregate data throughput above 200 Mbps on wide parallel interfaces.
Recommended
Consumer Electronics Display Control & Backplane Logic
In consumer displays and backplane controllers, the 5M570ZM100C5N handles LVDS signaling, backlight PWM, key-scan matrix decoding, and standby power gating. Its 1.8 V core plus 8 Kbits user flash memory (UFM) allow storage of device calibration constants and EDID-like parameter blocks without external EEPROM, reducing BOM. The 100-MBGA package is small enough for space-constrained TV and monitor mainboards while still exposing enough I/O for full HDMI-sideband or DisplayPort AUX channel management.
Recommended
Automotive Aftermarket ECU Customization & Brownout-Safe Logic
Brownout-resilient control paths in automotive aftermarket ECUs benefit from the 5M570ZM100C5N's non-volatile flash configuration: bitstream is retained across cold-crank and load-dump events that would otherwise corrupt SRAM-based logic. The CPLD can implement fuel-pump relay gating, watchdog reset distribution, and CAN-bus arbitration logic that must survive supply transients without reconfiguration latency. Its 9 ns tPD enables fast hardware interlocks that are safer than software-only watchdog approaches in 12 V automotive systems.
Recommended
Telecom Line Card Glue Logic & Clock Distribution
Telecom line-card designs use the 5M570ZM100C5N to implement TDM bus multiplexing, alarm-indicator aggregation, and clock-failover switchover between redundant PLLs. The CPLD's deterministic 9 ns tPD and 118.3 MHz fMAX meet telecom Stratum-3 timing margin requirements for hold-and-forward paths, while its multi-voltage I/O bridge cleanly between 1.8 V SERDES PHYs and 3.3 V backplane logic. The flash-based non-volatile configuration survives line-card hot-swap events without external boot logic.

Key Differentiators
- Non-volatile flash configuration eliminates external boot PROM (vs Xilinx XC2C512 (CoolRunner-II))
- Drop-in 100-MBGA variants across speed grades and temperature grades (vs 5M570ZT144I5N (144-TQFP))
- Multi-voltage I/O banks eliminate external level shifters (vs 5M40Z family (lower-density MAX V))
Design Notes
Route all four GND balls of the 100-MBGA package directly to a continuous, unbroken ground plane directly under the BGA. The MAX V datasheet recommends via-in-pad or micro-via fan-out for ground balls to minimize simultaneous-switching noise (SSN) on multi-bank outputs. A split or stitched ground plane degrades the CPLD's ability to return switching currents and can introduce timing skew and ground bounce above 50 MHz parallel-bus operation.
Per the MAX V Device Handbook, decouple every VCCIO bank with a 0.1 uF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 100 mils of the corresponding ball. Add a single 10 uF X5R bulk capacitor on VCCINT (1.8 V). The internal 3.3 V/2.5 V regulator eliminates the need for an external VCCIO rail when only the highest bank voltage is needed, but external rails are still required when driving 1.5 V or 1.8 V logic on a bank. Verify regulator current budget against the I/O bank load before relying on the internal LDO.
Do not assume the 5M570ZM100C5N, 5M570ZM100C4N, and 5M570ZM100I5N are interchangeable without re-running Quartus timing analysis. Although all three share the same 100-MBGA ballmap and 440 macro cells, their speed grades differ; a design that meets timing at C5 grade may fail timing closure at C4 or A5 grade. Also, the I-grade part adds an industrial temperature range that affects tCO and tSU timing parameters. Always verify the design's worst-case fMAX and tPD against the chosen speed-grade datasheet.
