Typical Applications
EPM240GT100C5 is suitable for 6 applications: Microcontroller I/O Expansion and Bus Bridging, Address Decoding for DSP and Microprocessor Systems, Power-up and Reset Sequencing for Multi-Rail Systems, 74-Series Glue Logic Consolidation, Industrial Control and Factory Automation I/O, Communications and Networking Equipment Glue Logic.
Microcontroller I/O Expansion and Bus Bridging
The EPM240GT100C5 fits 8051, ARM Cortex-M, PIC, and AVR microcontroller I/O expansion because its 80 user I/O and 240 logic elements can decode multiplexed address/data buses or generate chip-select signals with a deterministic 4.7 ns tPD. In a typical 16-bit external memory interface, the device replaces 4-6 packages of 74HC logic with a single instant-on device, while its 1.5V-3.3V MultiVolt I/O accepts 1.8V Cortex-M signals directly. The 8-Kbit UFM stores non-volatile board parameters (MAC address, calibration constants) eliminating a separate EEPROM.
Recommended
Address Decoding for DSP and Microprocessor Systems
The EPM240GT100C5 is a strong fit for address decoding in DSP and microprocessor subsystems because its 4.7 ns pin-to-pin delay and 240 logic elements support multiple overlapping address windows in a single device. In a typical TI C6000 or NXP i.MX8 memory map, the CPLD generates the chip-select logic for SDRAM, Flash, and peripherals while its non-volatile flash fabric eliminates boot-time configuration. The MultiVolt I/O ring natively bridges 3.3V microprocessor buses with 1.8V peripherals, removing discrete level shifters.
Recommended
Power-up and Reset Sequencing for Multi-Rail Systems
The EPM240GT100C5 suits multi-rail power sequencing because it operates from a stable 1.8V core supply and 80 I/O can monitor or drive PG/EN signals to multiple DC-DC converters and LDOs. Compared to discrete supervisor ICs, the CPLD allows fully programmable rail ordering, monotonic timing offsets, and fault handling without a firmware dependency. Its instant-on behavior (non-volatile fabric) ensures the sequencing logic is active before any host processor has begun executing code.
Recommended
74-Series Glue Logic Consolidation
The EPM240GT100C5 replaces 4-6 packages of 74HC, 74AHC, or 74LVC glue logic (gates, muxes, flip-flops, decoders) with a single TQFP-100 device, reducing BOM cost and PCB area. Its 240 logic elements and 80 I/O can map an entire board's discrete logic while reducing the part count and assembly errors. Compared to discrete logic, the CPLD also allows late-stage design changes via JTAG reprogramming rather than board respins.
Recommended
Industrial Control and Factory Automation I/O
The EPM240GT100C5 is suitable for industrial PLC and factory-automation I/O conditioning because its 80 user I/O and 4.7 ns tPD support high-speed digital signal routing for encoder counters, optocoupler interfaces, and fieldbus glue logic. The commercial 0C to 85C temperature range covers most cabinet environments; designs requiring industrial -40C to 100C should choose an I-suffix variant such as EPM240GT100I5N. The non-volatile instant-on fabric is critical for machinery that must boot deterministically without waiting for a configuration download.
Recommended
Communications and Networking Equipment Glue Logic
The EPM240GT100C5 is commonly used in router, switch, and small-cell designs for board-level glue logic between Ethernet PHYs, SERDES devices, microprocessors, and FPGAs, where its 4.7 ns tPD and 80 I/O enable deterministic chip-select generation and protocol bridging. Its MultiVolt I/O natively interfaces 3.3V Ethernet PHYs and 1.8V processor buses without level shifters. The 8-Kbit UFM can store MAC addresses and board revision data, reducing external EEPROM cost.

Key Differentiators
- Fastest speed grade in the 240-LE TQFP-100 MAX II family (vs EPM240GT100C4N)
- Non-volatile instant-on fabric with on-chip UFM (vs EPM240F100C5N)
- Deterministic timing regardless of design placement (vs EPM1270T144C5N)
- Broader stock and channel availability in commercial temperature range (vs EPM240GM100I5N)
Design Notes
Estimated: at typical 50 MHz toggle activity across 30 of 80 I/O driving 5 pF loads, the EPM240GT100C5 draws approximately 20-30 mA from the 1.8 V VCCINT supply. Provide a 1.0 uF X7R ceramic decoupling capacitor as close as possible to each VCCINT pin and a 0.1 uF bypass for every VCCIO pin. Tie any unused VCCINT/VCCIO pins to their respective supply rails; do not leave them floating.
Estimated: the TQFP-100 (14x14 mm) package has a 0.5 mm lead pitch. Use a 4-layer PCB with continuous power and ground planes to minimize the ground bounce that arises from the simultaneous switching of 80 I/O. Place JTAG TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and nCONFIG/nSTATUS traces away from high-speed signal edges to avoid ISP programming failures during in-field updates.
Do not apply power to VCCIO before VCCINT, as reverse power sequencing can cause latch-up. Always hold nCONFIG low during power-up until both VCCINT and VCCIO are stable. The UFM block requires the user logic to sequence its read/write commands correctly - do not access the UFM during JTAG boundary-scan operations, as this can corrupt the flash state.
Estimated: pin-to-pin timing on the EPM240GT100C5 is deterministic at 4.7 ns tPD regardless of placement, but propagation delay through the interconnect fabric can vary with fan-out. Use the Quartus Prime Classic Timing Analyzer to verify tPD, tCO, and tSU for your specific pin assignments before committing to layout; avoid driving more than 8-10 mA per I/O to stay within the 5 mA DC sink/source spec.
