Typical Applications
EPM570GM100C5N is suitable for 7 applications: I/O Expansion and Bus Bridging, FPGA / ASIC Power Sequencing, Industrial Control and PLC Logic, JTAG Chain Management and Configuration Control, Address Decoding Glue Logic, LED Display Refresh and Driver Logic, Communication Protocol Bridging (UART / SPI / I2C).
I/O Expansion and Bus Bridging
The EPM570GM100C5N's 440 macrocells and 76 user I/Os make it ideal for expanding a microcontroller's GPIO count and bridging between mismatched bus widths such as SPI to parallel or 8-bit to 16-bit. With 5.4 ns pin-to-pin delay and 201.1 MHz fMAX, the part handles real-time bus protocol conversion without adding latency. The MultiVolt I/O interface (1.5 V to 3.3 V) directly interfaces with mixed-voltage peripherals, eliminating external level shifters. Compared to discrete 74-series glue logic, a single CPLD replaces dozens of gates and is reconfigurable in-system via JTAG.
Recommended
FPGA / ASIC Power Sequencing
The EPM570GM100C5N is widely used to sequence multiple power rails for FPGA and ASIC bring-up. Its non-volatile flash-based instant-on architecture means the CPLD is operational within microseconds of power-up, before the main FPGA has finished configuration. The 76 user I/Os can drive PG (power-good) signals, EN lines, and reset multiplexers across an entire board. The 1.8 V core with MultiVolt I/O interfaces directly to standard POL converter enable pins. Compared to a discrete sequencer IC, the CPLD offers unlimited sequencing patterns and field updates.
Recommended
Industrial Control and PLC Logic
The EPM570GM100C5N's industrial -40C to +125C operating range and robust flash configuration make it suitable for industrial PLC, motor drive, and process-control logic. The 440 macrocells handle typical encoder decoding, PWM generation, and safety interlock logic that previously required multiple discrete timers and gates. The non-volatile instant-on behavior ensures deterministic behavior at every power cycle, critical for safety-certified industrial systems. The MBGA-100 footprint supports compact, vibration-resistant PCB layouts.
Recommended
JTAG Chain Management and Configuration Control
Designers use the EPM570GM100C5N as a JTAG controller or chain multiplexer to manage shared JTAG buses between FPGAs, flash memory, and processors. The CPLD's 76 I/Os can drive TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO signals with proper buffering, while the flash-backed configuration stores the JTAG topology non-volatilely. The 5.4 ns tPD supports TCK frequencies up to 100 MHz in chain multiplexing applications. Compared to a discrete JTAG switch IC, the CPLD adds custom test-pattern generation and boundary-scan support.
Recommended
Address Decoding Glue Logic
The EPM570GM100C5N's 440 macrocells and 76 user I/Os are well-suited for memory and peripheral address-decoding tasks in microprocessor systems. By replacing dozens of 74HC138 / 74HC139 decoder chips with a single CPLD, designers save PCB area and gain flexibility for late-stage address map changes. The 5.4 ns tPD adds negligible access-time penalty, while the MultiVolt I/O interface bridges between modern 1.8 V processors and legacy 3.3 V peripherals. JTAG-based in-system reprogramming lets designers iterate without respinning PCBs.
Recommended
LED Display Refresh and Driver Logic
The EPM570GM100C5N drives multiplexed LED matrix displays by generating row-select timing, PWM dimming waveforms, and refresh control. With 76 user I/Os, the CPLD directly interfaces to 8-16 row LED matrices without external drivers. The 201.1 MHz internal frequency supports high PWM resolution for color depth, while the flash-based architecture eliminates boot-PROM complexity. The MultiVolt I/O interfaces to both 3.3 V LED driver ICs and 5 V legacy displays, simplifying mixed-voltage designs.
Recommended
Communication Protocol Bridging (UART / SPI / I2C)
The EPM570GM100C5N bridges between UART, SPI, I2C, and custom serial protocols in embedded systems. The 440 macrocells implement multiple protocol state machines in parallel, and the 76 user I/Os drive multiple bus instances simultaneously. The 5.4 ns tPD supports SPI clock rates up to 100 MHz with deterministic timing. The MultiVolt I/O (1.5 V to 3.3 V) bridges between modern low-voltage MCUs and legacy 3.3 V peripherals, eliminating external level shifters. JTAG-based field updates enable protocol patches in deployed equipment.

Design Notes
The Micro FBGA-100 (6 x 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) requires careful PCB layout. Use NSMD (non-solder mask defined) pads with a diameter approximately 80% of the ball diameter for reliable BGA reflow. Micro-vias under the BGA are acceptable with stacked-via or staggered-via structures; dog-bone fan-out is recommended for inner rows when escape routing is constrained. Per IPC-7093, BGA pad finishes should use ENIG or OSP for consistent wetting, and reflow profile must follow J-STD-020 MSL classification.
The MultiVolt I/O interface (1.5 V to 3.3 V) simplifies mixed-voltage designs but does not eliminate the need for series damping resistors on long PCB traces. For signals routed longer than 50 mm (about 1.6 inches) on FR-4, add 22-33 ohm series resistors to dampen reflections. The 201.1 MHz fMAX supports high-speed protocol bridges; for SPI clocks above 50 MHz, controlled-impedance routing (50 ohm single-ended) is recommended.
Do not omit the JTAG chain integrity check when sharing the JTAG bus with other programmable devices. Pull TMS and TCK high during power-up to keep the JTAG TAP controller in a known state. The flash-based configuration requires a valid VCCIO during programming; programming with VCCIO below 1.5 V can corrupt the configuration memory and require a re-programming cycle. Always verify the JTAG IDCODE after programming to confirm successful configuration.
Estimated: at typical 1.8 V core supply and 100% toggle rate, the EPM570GM100C5N dissipates approximately 100 mW during normal operation. The MBGA-100 package has a theta-JA of approximately 35-40 C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC test board, yielding a junction temperature rise of 3-4 C above ambient. No external heatsink is required, but adequate airflow is recommended in enclosed industrial enclosures operating above 70 C ambient. De-rate maximum toggle rate by 10-15% above 100 C ambient.
