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
5M160ZT100I5 is suitable for 6 applications: Industrial Glue Logic and I/O Expansion, Communications Equipment Bus Arbitration, Test and Measurement Front-End Control, Legacy TTL/CMOS Logic Array Replacement, Automotive Subsystem Controllers, Power Sequencing and Supervisory Control.
Industrial Glue Logic and I/O Expansion
The 5M160ZT100I5's 160 Logic Elements, 79 I/O pins, and instant-on flash configuration make it ideal as glue logic on industrial control PCBs where it bridges a microcontroller to ASICs, sensors, or legacy parallel buses. Its 1.8 V core with MultiVolt I/O banks (1.2 V to 3.3 V) eliminates level shifters when interfacing mixed-voltage peripherals. Engineers typically use the part for address decoding, chip-select generation, and timing-critical handshakes where FPGAs would be over-spec and discrete TTL would consume too much board area. Quartus II design entry keeps the synthesis flow familiar for legacy MAX II/MAX V users.
Recommended
Communications Equipment Bus Arbitration
In routers, switches, and base-station controllers, the 5M160ZT100I5 is well-suited to bus arbitration, protocol bridging, and custom parallel interfaces that demand deterministic, low-latency response. The 118.3 MHz maximum internal frequency and flash-based instant-on boot are critical for line cards that must come up in a defined state within milliseconds of power-rail stabilization. The 8 Kbits of on-chip user flash can store board-level serial numbers, MAC addresses, or calibration constants without external EEPROM. Industrial temperature grade supports outdoor and uncontrolled-cabinet deployments.
Recommended
Test and Measurement Front-End Control
The 5M160ZT100I5 functions as a flexible front-end controller in oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and bench instruments, where it sequences ADCs/DACs, manages trigger routing, and customizes parallel data paths. The MultiVolt I/O banks allow direct interface to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V ADC/DAC logic without external translators. Designers leverage the predictable tCO/tSU timing of the CPLD fabric to meet strict acquisition-window budgets that software-driven microcontrollers cannot guarantee. The non-volatile configuration also lets instruments boot into a known calibration state on every power-up.
Recommended
Legacy TTL/CMOS Logic Array Replacement
The 5M160ZT100I5 is frequently used to consolidate aging discrete 74LS/74HC/CMOS logic arrays into a single programmable device, freeing board area, reducing power, and simplifying ECOs. With 160 LE the part can replace dozens of legacy gates while preserving the same 100-pin TQFP mechanical envelope used by many 1990s-era logic arrays. Designers can re-implement the original logic via schematic capture in Quartus II and re-program in-system via JTAG, eliminating rework when design changes arise. Instant-on flash boot is a key advantage over SRAM-based replacements that need boot PROMs.
Recommended
Automotive Subsystem Controllers
Automotive body controllers, instrument clusters, and sensor interface modules leverage the 5M160ZT100I5 family (A-grade variants) for deterministic glue logic that must boot within milliseconds of battery power-up. The -40C to +100C industrial temperature grade (and -40C to +125C on the A5N variant) covers under-hood and cabin environments. The 1.8 V core with 3.3 V-tolerant I/O interfaces directly to CAN/LIN transceivers and small microcontrollers. AEC-Q100 qualification on the automotive-grade MAX V members makes this a defensible choice for safety-related sub-functions.
Recommended
Power Sequencing and Supervisory Control
The 5M160ZT100I5 is widely deployed as a multi-rail power sequencer in servers, network switches, and FPGA-based boards where multiple voltage rails must come up and down in a specific order. The CPLD's programmable output pins drive discrete MOSFET gates or supervisor IC enables, while its inputs monitor power-good signals from each rail. Flash-based instant-on ensures the sequencer itself is ready before any of the rails it controls stabilize, eliminating the chicken-and-egg problem of MCU-based sequencers. The 79 I/O pins are ample for 6-10 rail sequencing with margin.

Key Differentiators
- Lowest-cost MAX V CPLD with industrial temp grade and I5 speed grade (vs 5M160ZT100A5N)
- TQFP-100 footprint with 79 user I/O pins, more than competing 64-pin alternatives (vs 5M160ZE64I5N)
- MultiVolt I/O banks (1.2 V to 3.3 V) on a single 1.8 V core (vs 5M1270ZT144I5N)
Design Notes
Estimated: based on typical MAX V datasheet figures, the 5M160ZT100I5 draws roughly 25-30 mA active (fMAX, all I/O toggling) and below 1 mA in standby. Place a 0.1 uF X7R ceramic decoupling capacitor adjacent to every VCCINT and VCCIO pin, plus a single 10 uF bulk capacitor on each supply rail. Keep the VCCINT decoupling loop area under 0.5 square inches to minimize switching noise coupling into the analog-style MultiVolt I/O structure.
Route JTAG signals (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) with 50 ohm controlled impedance and keep total chain length below 6 inches for reliable in-system programming at 10 MHz TCK. Provide a 4-layer PCB with continuous inner ground plane beneath the TQFP-100 footprint to control SSO (simultaneously-switching output) noise. The exposed thermal pad on TQFP packages in this family should be soldered to a copper pour connected to GND to reduce theta_JA by approximately 20%.
Do not leave unused I/O pins floating - the MAX V datasheet requires all unused pins be configured as outputs driving ground or as inputs with internal weak pull-up enabled, otherwise quiescent ICC can rise by 2-5 mA. Avoid mixing 3.3 V and 1.2 V signaling on the same I/O bank: each bank has a single VCCIO supply, so group pins by voltage level. Finally, do not attempt to program the device without first verifying the JTAG chain integrity with the Quartus programmer - chain mis-wiring is the #1 cause of ISP failure in production.
Compliance Information
The 5M160ZT100I5 (non-N) variant may pre-date full RoHS transition; verify with supplier datasheet. The 'N' suffix variants are explicitly lead-free and RoHS-compliant per Altera/Intel product page. Industrial temperature grade is -40C to +100C; AEC-Q100 qualification applies to the 5M160ZT100A5N automotive variant only.
