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.

🌐

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.

πŸ”§

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.

πŸ–₯️

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.

πŸš—

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.

⚑

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.

What is the 5M160ZT100I5 and what family does it belong to?
The 5M160ZT100I5 is a 160-Logic-Element member of the Altera MAX V CPLD family, housed in a 100-pin TQFP package with industrial -40C to +100C temperature grade. According to the Altera MAX V family datasheet, the MAX V series is a non-volatile, flash-based CPLD family offering instant-on configuration and low static power consumption for glue-logic and I/O-expansion roles.
How many macro cells and I/O pins does the 5M160ZT100I5 have?
The 5M160ZT100I5 contains 128 macro cells and exposes up to 79 usable I/O pins on its 100-pin TQFP package (the remaining pins are supply, ground, JTAG, and configuration). Per the MAX V device overview, the LE count of 160 is derived from the macrocell array plus the underlying logic-element fabric, giving designers roughly 160 look-up-table-equivalent functions for glue logic.
What is the maximum operating frequency of the 5M160ZT100I5?
The 5M160ZT100I5 supports a maximum internal operating frequency of 118.3 MHz as documented on the Arrow distributor product page and consistent with the MAX V datasheet. This figure applies to internal register-to-register paths and represents the design ceiling engineers should respect when budgeting tCO and tSU timing.
What is the difference between 5M160ZT100I5 and 5M160ZT100C5N?
The 5M160ZT100I5 is the industrial-grade variant (-40C to +100C operating temperature), while the 5M160ZT100C5N is the commercial-grade version (0C to +85C). Both share the identical 160-LE die, TQFP-100 footprint, and 1.8 V core, so they are pin-compatible drop-in replacements when the operating temperature window is acceptable. Source: Altera MAX V datasheet and Octopart listing.
Does the 5M160ZT100I5 require an external configuration memory?
No. The 5M160ZT100I5 uses on-chip non-volatile flash to store its configuration, providing instant-on behavior at power-up with no external boot PROM. This is a key advantage over SRAM-based FPGAs in safety-critical or deterministic-boot applications. The user flash block (8 Kbits) can additionally store application parameters without an external EEPROM.
What software is needed to program the 5M160ZT100I5?
The 5M160ZT100I5 is programmed using Altera / Intel Quartus II version 13.0 or earlier, or modern Quartus Prime with legacy MAX V device support. Programming can be performed in-system via JTAG (IEEE 1149.1 / 1532) using a USB-Blaster, ByteBlaster, or compatible JTAG cable. Per the Altera MAX V user guide, no external programmer is required once the JTAG chain is exposed on the PCB.
Where can I buy the 5M160ZT100I5 and what is the approximate price?
The 5M160ZT100I5 is available from authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, Arrow, and Win Source, with pricing as of 2026-09-06 starting around $14.50 USD at qty 1 and declining to roughly $8.75 USD at qty 1000. The 'N' suffix variants (5M160ZT100I5N) are the lead-free, RoHS-compliant shipping versions most commonly stocked. Lead times vary by distributor; check real-time inventory for current availability.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the 5M160ZT100I5?
The best drop-in replacement is the 5M160ZT100I5N, which uses the same die and TQFP-100 footprint but is offered in lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging. For design flexibility within the same family, the 5M160ZT100A5N (automotive temperature grade) is also a pin-compatible substitute when the wider temperature range is acceptable. Both preserve the 1.8 V core and MultiVolt I/O bank structure.
What is the lead time for the 5M160ZT100I5 today?
Lead time for the 5M160ZT100I5 varies by distributor as of 2026-09-06, with major authorized distributors (DigiKey, Mouser, Arrow) typically listing factory stock or 4-8 week lead times for production quantities. For legacy / N-version variants, smaller distributors such as Win Source and Vyrian often quote 6-12 weeks. Always confirm real-time stock and RoHS status before placing production orders.
Is the 5M160ZT100I5 the same as the 5M160ZT100I5N?
Functionally yes - the 5M160ZT100I5 and 5M160ZT100I5N share the identical silicon die and 100-pin TQFP package. The 'N' suffix designates the lead-free, RoHS-compliant shipping version, while the non-N variant may have older lead-finish options. Both are fully interchangeable in standard industrial designs; verify the RoHS requirement of your end product before selecting between them.
What is the key specification engineers should know about 5M160ZT100I5?
The 5M160ZT100I5 combines 160 Logic Elements, 128 macro cells, 79 user I/O pins, 8 Kbits of user flash, and 118.3 MHz maximum internal frequency in a TQFP-100 package operating from a single 1.8 V core supply with MultiVolt I/O support from 1.2 V to 3.3 V. This balance of density, I/O count, and instant-on flash configuration makes it the workhorse MAX V choice for industrial glue-logic designs. Source: Altera MAX V family datasheet.
Can I replace the 5M160ZT100I5 with an Xilinx CoolRunner-II device?
No direct pin-compatible Xilinx CoolRunner-II equivalent exists for the 5M160ZT100I5 in TQFP-100 because the two vendors use different pinouts, JTAG chains, and I/O bank architectures. A cross-vendor swap would require PCB rework (different land pattern) and re-synthesized HDL, so it is not a drop-in replacement. Use the Intel MAX V 5M160Z family as the drop-in path; consider Xilinx XC9500XL or CoolRunner-II only as new-design alternatives.
What is the operating voltage of the 5M160ZT100I5?
The 5M160ZT100I5 operates from a 1.8 V core supply (VCCINT) with MultiVolt I/O banks supporting 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V signaling on the same die. According to the MAX V datasheet, each I/O bank can be configured independently for its supply level, enabling mixed-voltage bus interfacing without external level shifters.
When should I choose the 5M160ZT100I5 over the larger 5M570Z or 5M1270Z MAX V devices?
Choose the 5M160ZT100I5 when your design fits within 160 Logic Elements and you want the smallest / lowest-cost MAX V package in TQFP-100. Step up to the 5M570Z (570 LE) when you need more macro cells for wider bus decoding or larger state machines, or to the 5M1270Z (1270 LE) for full 32-bit datapath glue logic. All three are pin-compatible within the same MAX V family and share the same Quartus toolchain.
Where can I download the 5M160ZT100I5 datasheet PDF?
The 5M160ZT100I5 datasheet PDF can be downloaded from the official Altera / Intel literature center at https://www.altera.com/literature/hb/max-v/mv51008.pdf, or mirrored on datasheet aggregators such as Octopart and Win Source.

Selection Guide

Choose the 5M160ZT100I5 when you need a non-volatile, flash-based CPLD with up to 160 Logic Elements and 79 user I/O pins in a 100-pin TQFP for industrial-grade glue logic, bus decoding, power sequencing, or TTL/CMOS array consolidation. It is the optimal MAX V member when your design fits within 160 LE and does not require the wider temperature or AEC-Q100 qualification of the A5N automotive variant. Step up to the 5M570Z (570 LE) or 5M1270Z (1270 LE) when more logic capacity is needed, and step down to the 5M160ZE64 (TQFP-64) when only 50-ish I/O are required. The instant-on flash configuration eliminates the boot PROM and POR latency of SRAM-based FPGAs, making it ideal for deterministic-boot industrial and communications systems.

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.
