Safe Operating Area (SOA) & Thermal Characteristics
No official SOA curve available for this digital IC. Always operate within absolute maximum ratings specified in the datasheet. Ensure adequate cooling and derate as needed.
Typical Applications
EPM570T100A5N is suitable for 6 applications: I/O Expansion and Voltage Translation, Power Sequencing Logic, Industrial Bus Bridging (SPI, I2C, UART), LED Display Refresh and Multiplexing, FPGA Configuration Memory Replacement, Glue Logic and Custom State Machines.
I/O Expansion and Voltage Translation
The EPM570T100A5N excels at I/O expansion for microcontrollers that lack sufficient pins or need to interface with peripherals at mismatched voltage rails. Its MultiVolt I/O banks natively support 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V, enabling direct bridging between a 3.3 V MCU and 1.8 V sensors without external level shifters. With 76 user I/O and 5.4 ns pin-to-pin delay, the CPLD can debounce, multiplex, and serialize signals in real time for industrial control panels and human-machine interfaces.
Recommended
Power Sequencing Logic
The EPM570T100A5N is well-suited to multi-rail power sequencing because of its instant-on flash configuration and deterministic 5.4 ns timing. The CPLD can monitor PG (power-good) signals from each DC-DC converter and assert the next enable only after the previous rail stabilizes, with sub-microsecond precision. Its non-volatile storage eliminates boot races that plague SRAM-based FPGAs. Use it to sequence 0.8 V core, 1.8 V DDR, 3.3 V analog, and 5.0 V driver rails in ATX, server, and embedded designs.
Recommended
Industrial Bus Bridging (SPI, I2C, UART)
With 570 logic elements, the EPM570T100A5N can host multiple protocol bridges simultaneously - for instance, converting SPI to parallel GPIO, I2C to UART, or UART to LVDS. The 76 user I/O and 5.4 ns delay support clock rates well above 100 MHz for SPI peripherals. Programmable logic outperforms microcontrollers in deterministic latency, which matters for real-time industrial buses like Modbus, PROFIBUS, and EtherCAT slave interfaces.
Recommended
LED Display Refresh and Multiplexing
The EPM570T100A5N's deterministic timing and 76 I/O pins make it an effective controller for multiplexed LED matrices, seven-segment displays, and signage panels. Each LAB can drive a row/column pair, and the 5.4 ns delay supports refresh rates above 1 kHz without flicker. The on-chip 8-Kbit UFM can store fonts, animation tables, or brightness curves, eliminating an external EEPROM.
Recommended
FPGA Configuration Memory Replacement
Designers use the EPM570T100A5N to replace dedicated configuration memory on small SRAM-based FPGAs, holding the FPGA bitstream in the on-chip flash and loading it over JTAG at boot. The CPLD's instant-on behavior means the FPGA is configured within milliseconds of power-up. This reduces BOM cost (no separate PROM) and PCB area, while the 8-Kbit UFM also stores board serial numbers and calibration data.
Recommended
Glue Logic and Custom State Machines
The EPM570T100A5N is the canonical 'glue logic' device: it replaces dozens of 74-series TTL chips with a single reprogrammable IC, which simplifies board layout, reduces cost, and accelerates prototyping. Its 440 macrocells can implement deep finite state machines for motor control, packet processing, or sensor-fusion pre-conditioning. The non-volatile configuration lets the design ship without external boot support.

Key Differentiators
- Higher density than XC9572XL in same TQFP-100 footprint (vs XC9572XL-100TQG)
- Industrial temperature grade with fastest speed bin (vs EPM570T100C5N)
- TQFP package is easier to rework than FBGA (vs EPM570F100A5N)
Design Notes
The EPM570T100A5N requires separate decoupling on VCCINT (1.8 V) and each VCCIO bank (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V). Place one 0.1 Β΅F ceramic plus one 10 Β΅F tantalum within 5 mm of each VCC pin. Per Altera MAX II guidelines, ramp VCCINT and VCCIO simultaneously or VCCINT first; reverse sequencing can trigger latch-up. Add a 4.7 kΞ© pull-up on TCK to keep the JTAG chain in a known state during power-up.
Route JTAG signals TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO in parallel with 50 Ξ© characteristic impedance, length-matched within 25 mm. Keep TCK away from switching signals by at least 3Γ the trace spacing to avoid coupling. For multi-device JTAG chains, place devices in order of TDIβTDO with the chain length under 150 mm total to stay within IEEE 1149.1 timing.
Do not assign signals to a pin that shares its VCCIO bank with a higher-voltage peripheral if your design operates the bank at lower voltage - the I/O will drive at the lower rail and fail to reach the peripheral's VIH. Always verify the VCCIO assignment for each bank in the Quartus Pin Planner before compiling. Also, ensure the JTAG chain is correctly terminated with the BSDL file for the device, otherwise Quartus Programmer will report 'unexpected TDO' errors.
Estimated: at industrial temperature extremes (-40 Β°C to +125 Β°C), the EPM570T100A5N in TQFP-100 (ΞΈJA β 50 Β°C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC board) will dissipate up to ~1.5 W when all 76 I/O toggle at 100 MHz. Junction temperature rise above ambient is roughly 50 Β°C/W Γ 1.5 W = 75 Β°C, well within the 125 Β°C limit. Reduce toggle frequency or limit I/O count for tight-thermal designs.
Compliance Information
RoHS and REACH compliant per Altera/Intel product page. The MAX II family uses Pb-free (lead-free) packaging and halogen-free mold compound. AEC-Q100 qualification is not applicable since the part is a programmable logic device, not an automotive-grade IC; check with the vendor for automotive-temperature variants.
