Typical Applications
EPM2210GF324I5N is suitable for 6 applications: Digital Design Glue Logic, Bus Interface Bridging, Power-Up Sequencing and Reset Control, State Machine Controllers, LED Display and Sign Drivers, Industrial Control Panel I/O Expansion.
Digital Design Glue Logic
The EPM2210GF324I5N consolidates multiple 74-series logic packages into a single non-volatile CPLD, reducing PCB area and BOM cost. Its 2210 logic elements (1700 macrocells) and 272 user I/O comfortably absorb address decoding, chip-select generation, and bus control functions across an entire system. With a 7 ns propagation delay, the device suits glue-logic paths running at 50 to 100 MHz, and the 1.8 V core plus MultiVolt I/O at 1.5 V / 1.8 V / 2.5 V / 3.3 V lets one part bridge 3.3 V MCUs to 1.8 V peripherals without external level shifters. Instant-on flash-based configuration removes the boot PROM typically needed by SRAM FPGAs.
Recommended
Bus Interface Bridging
The EPM2210GF324I5N excels at bridging mismatched buses (e.g., 8-bit to 32-bit, SPI to parallel, I2C to GPIO) thanks to its 272 user I/O and configurable MultiVolt I/O banks. Per the MAX II datasheet, the device supports multiple I/O standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, and PCI on the same die, eliminating external translator ICs. With 2210 logic elements and 7 ns tPD, it can run parallel-to-parallel width converters or custom serializer/deserializer blocks up to approximately 100 MHz, making it a strong fit for legacy-to-modern interface adaptation in industrial and embedded designs.
Recommended
Power-Up Sequencing and Reset Control
The EPM2210GF324I5N is widely used as a power-sequencing controller, generating accurate delays and watchdog resets for multi-rail systems. With 2210 logic elements, designers can implement sequenced enables for 3 to 8 voltage rails, configurable via JTAG, while the on-chip 8 Kbit User Flash Memory stores rail-by-rail timing parameters. The industrial -40 °C to +100 °C temperature range ensures reliable startup behavior in cold or hot environments. Compared to discrete RC-delay or timer-IC sequencing, the EPM2210GF324I5N offers reprogrammability, tighter timing accuracy, and consolidation of watchdog, brownout, and reset-stretch functions in one part.
Recommended
State Machine Controllers
The EPM2210GF324I5N implements complex state machines, parity generators, and custom shift registers in a single non-volatile device. Its 1700 macrocells with 4-input LUTs and product-term logic support both Mealy and Moore machines, while the 8 Kbit UFM can hold state-transition tables or calibration data. With 272 I/O, designers can monitor and control dozens of inputs and outputs simultaneously. Per the MAX II family datasheet, the device achieves 7 ns tPD allowing state transitions above 100 MHz, and JTAG-based in-system programmability enables field updates without removing the part from the board.
Recommended
LED Display and Sign Drivers
The EPM2210GF324I5N drives large LED matrices and seven-segment displays, leveraging 272 user I/O to control rows, columns, and brightness modulation. Per the MAX II datasheet, the device supports 3.3 V LVCMOS outputs at 24 mA drive strength, sufficient to sink or source LED segments directly without external transistors. The 2210 logic elements allow per-row PWM generation for dimming, while the 8 Kbit UFM stores lookup tables for character fonts or animation patterns. The -40 °C to +100 °C temperature range covers outdoor signage, transportation displays, and industrial indicator panels.
Recommended
Industrial Control Panel I/O Expansion
The EPM2210GF324I5N expands microcontroller GPIO by adding 272 reconfigurable I/O with custom logic in between, ideal for PLCs, HMI panels, and industrial controllers. The MultiVolt I/O supports direct connection to 24 V tolerant logic via external resistors, and the -40 °C to +100 °C industrial temperature rating meets IEC 61131-2 environmental requirements for factory floor equipment. Per the MAX II datasheet, the 7 ns tPD enables fast interrupt aggregation and encoder decoding, while the integrated 8 Kbit UFM can store device ID or calibration data per panel.

Design Notes
The EPM2210GF324I5N is housed in a 324-ball FineLine BGA at 19 x 19 mm with 1.0 mm pitch. Use NSMD (non-solder-mask-defined) pads with a 0.45 mm diameter and a 1.0 mm pitch to match the Altera footprint recommendation. PCB land pattern should follow IPC-7351 naming conventions for FineLine BGA, and the reflow profile must comply with JEDEC J-STD-020. Place at least one 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor within 5 mm of every VCCINT and VCCIO ball, plus one 10 µF bulk capacitor per supply rail.
The MAX II device supports MultiVolt I/O with banks that can be powered independently at 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. Group the I/O banks in Quartus Prime assignments to match the PCB power plane partitions. Route JTAG signals TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO away from high-speed switching traces, and add 4.7 kΩ pull-ups on TCK, TMS, TDI and a 4.7 kΩ pull-up on TDO as recommended in the MAX II handbook. Place the JTAG header within 50 mm of the device to minimize signal-integrity issues.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum VCCINT of 1.95 V or VCCIO of 4.0 V. Ensure all unused I/O pins are configured as outputs driving ground or as inputs with internal pull-ups enabled, per the MAX II datasheet. When migrating from EPM1270 to EPM2210 in the same 256/324-FBGA footprint, verify that the JTAG chain termination matches the new device's IDCODE; otherwise, JTAG programming will fail silently. Also confirm that the UFM block is not used simultaneously as a scratchpad and a bootloader source.
Estimated: the EPM2210GF324I5N at 1.8 V core and maximum toggle activity dissipates approximately 0.5 W typical and up to 1.0 W worst-case. With the 324-FBGA thermal pad design and the recommended PCB footprint, theta_JA is approximately 25 C/W on a 4-layer 2 oz copper PCB, resulting in a junction temperature rise of 25 C above ambient. The 100 C maximum junction temperature allows operation up to 75 C ambient without active cooling, but in enclosed industrial cabinets above 60 C, provide airflow or copper heatsink planes.
Compliance Information
RoHS compliance is indicated by the N suffix in the part number per Altera/Intel ordering information. AEC-Q100 automotive qualification is not applicable for MAX II CPLDs in this density range.
