Typical Applications
EPM240T1OOC5N is suitable for 6 applications: I/O Expansion & Voltage Translation, Industrial Control & Glue Logic, Telecom & Networking Line Cards, Power Sequencing & Housekeeping, LED Control & Display Driving, Bus Interface Bridging.
I/O Expansion & Voltage Translation
The EPM240T100C5N's 80 user I/Os and MultiVolt I/O bank support (1.5 V / 1.8 V / 2.5 V / 3.3 V) make it ideal for I/O expansion and voltage translation between mixed-voltage peripherals and processors. Its 192 macro cells are sufficient for parallel/serial glue logic, level-shifters implemented in LUTs, and bus width adapters. Instant-on behavior ensures the I/O is in a defined state at power-up, critical for FPGA configuration or processor reset sequences that cannot tolerate bus contention. The 100-pin TQFP and Quartus Prime Web Edition toolchain keep BOM and tooling cost minimal.
Recommended
Industrial Control & Glue Logic
In industrial control boards (PLC backplanes, motor controllers, sensor aggregators), the EPM240T100C5N replaces dozens of discrete 74-series logic chips with a single programmable device, reducing board area and improving traceability. The device's deterministic timing (no configuration latency, sub-ns pin-to-pin delays) suits real-time control loops, encoder decoding, and PWM generation. 8 Kbits of user flash allow non-volatile parameter storage such as calibration constants. The commercial 0-85 Β°C grade fits most factory-floor enclosures.
Recommended
Telecom & Networking Line Cards
Telecom line cards, ATCA/ATX platforms, and Ethernet switch fabrics use the EPM240T100C5N for power-up/power-down sequencing, address decoding, and bus arbitration where deterministic, non-volatile behavior is mandatory. Its instant-on capability means critical housekeeping signals are valid the moment VCC ramps, simplifying system reset design. The MultiVolt I/O bank interoperates with 1.8 V and 2.5 V PHY devices from a single 3.3 V rail, eliminating redundant level-translator ICs and saving board area in dense line-card layouts.
Recommended
Power Sequencing & Housekeeping
The EPM240T100C5N's instant-on, non-volatile flash-based configuration makes it ideal for multi-rail power sequencing in ATCA, ATX, and custom processor boards. Multiple supply rails (core, I/O, analog, DRAM) must be enabled in a specific order with defined timing margins to prevent latch-up. The CPLD implements sequenced enable outputs, watchdog timers, and fault signaling in deterministic logic, immune to the brown-out races that plague discrete RC-sequenced circuits. Its 201.1 MHz fMAX easily supports fine-grained sequencing timing.
Recommended
LED Control & Display Driving
Commercial LED walls, RGBW lighting controllers, and architectural displays use the EPM240T100C5N to drive 80 PWM channels simultaneously for color mixing and brightness control. Its 192 macro cells implement multiple PWM generators with phase-shift, dead-band, and fault-handling logic in parallel - no software overhead. MultiVolt I/O banks drive 3.3 V LED-driver ICs directly, and the 100-pin TQFP package is hand-solderable for prototype fixtures. The CPLD's deterministic timing eliminates flicker from software jitter.
Recommended
Bus Interface Bridging
Legacy industrial and embedded systems use the EPM240T100C5N to bridge between incompatible bus interfaces (PCI to local bus, parallel to I2C/SPI, address decoding across memory maps). Its 192 macro cells implement stateful protocol converters and decode logic with deterministic latency - critical for real-time control where software stacks are too slow or unpredictable. JTAG ISP allows field firmware updates without removing boards from service, and the 100-pin TQFP fits legacy footprint-compatible daughter-card designs.

Key Differentiators
- Lowest-cost entry point in MAX II family with full 80-I/O support (vs EPM570T100C5N)
- Same-footprint temperature-grade flexibility (vs EPM240T100I5N)
- Cross-brand footprint compatibility via CoolRunner-II (vs XC2C64A-7VQG100C)
Design Notes
Estimated: The EPM240T100C5N's 3.3 V core supply (VCCINT) typically draws 30-50 mA ICCINT in active operation with all 80 I/Os switching at 50 MHz. Decouple VCCINT with at least one 0.1 Β΅F ceramic capacitor placed within 100 mils of pin 79 (VCCINT) and pin 80 (GND), plus a 10 Β΅F bulk capacitor on the supply rail. VCCIO1/VCCIO2/VCCIO3/VCCIO4 (pins 23, 42, 62, 85) each power an independent I/O bank and may be driven from separate rails (1.5 V / 1.8 V / 2.5 V / 3.3 V) - each requires its own 0.1 Β΅F decoupling cap to its bank GND.
Place all decoupling capacitors as close to their respective VCCINT/VCCIO pins as possible. Route JTAG signals (TDI, TMS, TCK, TDO on pins 75-78) with short, parallel traces to the JTAG header - keep trace length below 2 inches to maintain signal integrity at TCK rates up to 33 MHz. Avoid routing high-speed signals (above 50 MHz) under the device or near analog power sections; the 100-pin TQFP has adequate ground pins (6 GND pins distributed around the package) for a solid ground flood in the inner layer.
Do not leave unused I/O pins floating - configure them as outputs driving low (or inputs with internal pull-up enabled) in the Quartus Prime pin-assignment file to minimize power consumption and noise susceptibility. Avoid exceeding 3.6 V on any VCCIO pin; the absolute-maximum VCCIO is 3.6 V even though recommended operation is 3.3 V. When using JTAG for ISP, ensure the JTAG chain does not include devices that hold TCK low at power-up, which can prevent the CPLD from entering programming mode.
Estimated: The 100-pin TQFP package has a theta_JA of approximately 45 Β°C/W (with still-air, no heatsink) to 30 Β°C/W (with adequate PCB copper). At full-load operation (all 80 I/Os switching at maximum toggle rate) the device may dissipate up to 200 mW, resulting in a junction-temperature rise of ~9 Β°C above ambient - well within commercial-grade limits. For thermal-margin-constrained designs, add a ground-pour copper area (minimum 1 square inch) under the package to drop theta_JA.
