Typical Applications
5M240ZT100C4N is suitable for 6 applications: Microcontroller I/O Expansion and Bus Decode, Industrial PLC and Factory Automation Controllers, Board-Level JTAG Test and Boundary-Scan Infrastructure, Power-Up Sequencing and Reset Management, Legacy 5V Logic Replacement, Display and Touch-Panel Interface Bridging.
Microcontroller I/O Expansion and Bus Decode
The 5M240ZT100C4N is ideally suited as a glue-logic companion to mid-range microcontrollers that lack sufficient I/O pins or address-decoding capability. With 240 logic elements and 192 macro cells, it can decode up to ~24 address lines and generate chip-selects for multiple peripherals simultaneously. The MAX V's 7.5 ns propagation delay fits comfortably under most MCU memory-cycle timing budgets, and the four multi-volt I/O banks (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V) let the CPLD bridge directly between a 3.3 V MCU and 1.8 V DDR2 memory without external level shifters. Because the MAX V is flash-based, the design is active at power-on — critical for cold-boot peripheral bring-up.
Recommended
Industrial PLC and Factory Automation Controllers
In PLC and factory-automation designs, the 5M240ZT100C4N consolidates dozens of 74-series glue-logic ICs into a single device, reducing PCB area and improving reliability. Its deterministic 7.5 ns tPD and instant-on behaviour suit deterministic scan-cycle logic that must execute within a fixed time budget after power-up. The 8 Kbits of on-chip user flash stores calibration data and serial numbers, removing the need for an external EEPROM. Designers targeting -40 °C operation should drop in the pin-compatible 5M240ZT100I5N industrial sibling. The TQFP-100 footprint also supports hand-rework and prototyping on through-hole adapter boards.
Recommended
Board-Level JTAG Test and Boundary-Scan Infrastructure
The MAX V family's IEEE 1149.1 JTAG controller makes the 5M240ZT100C4N a natural choice for board-level boundary-scan test access. Designers can configure the CPLD as a JTAG-to-I2C/SPI bridge or as a passive scan-monitor observing inter-IC buses during production test. The 5M240Z's high I/O count and 4-bank multi-volt support let it sit alongside 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V devices on the same scan chain without level shifters. Note from the datasheet that the bank-1 JTAG pins do not support PCI or 1.2 V LVCMOS standards — set the VCCIO1 bank to 2.5 V or 3.3 V when using JTAG.
Recommended
Power-Up Sequencing and Reset Management
Power-up sequencing of multi-rail systems (FPGA + DDR + ASSP + analog) is a canonical CPLD application. The 5M240ZT100C4N's instant-on behaviour (flash-based, ready in microseconds) and 192 macro cells can implement up to a dozen independent sequencer channels with watchdog timers. The 1.8 V VCCINT rail and four VCCIO banks let the CPLD interface directly to all common rail voltages used in telecom and embedded designs. Compared with discrete reset supervisors, a single MAX V part replaces 3-5 timer/sequencer ICs, saving board area and BOM cost while improving timing accuracy.
Recommended
Legacy 5V Logic Replacement
The 5M240ZT100C4N is widely used to replace legacy 5 V 74LS/74HC/74F glue-logic arrays on industrial and military boards reaching end-of-life. Designers map the discrete gate functions (decoders, muxes, latches, counters) into the 240 logic elements, eliminating dozens of legacy SOIC parts and improving long-term availability. With 3.3 V VCCIO, the CPLD can directly interface to 3.3 V modern ASICs; external 5 V-tolerant buffers (such as SN74LVC4245) handle the legacy side. The TQFP-100 footprint and JEDEC-standard pin ordering simplify PCB drop-in when the original 5 V logic array used a similar pitch.
Recommended
Display and Touch-Panel Interface Bridging
Small-form-factor LCD and OLED panels typically expose parallel RGB or 8080/6800 interfaces that need glue logic to connect to host processors with limited parallel I/O. The 5M240ZT100C4N's 240 LE and 4 I/O banks accommodate a full 18-bit RGB-to-LVDS bridge, a touch-panel I2C/USB HID converter, or a backlight PWM controller in a single chip. The 7.5 ns tPD is fast enough for 800x600 panels at 60 Hz, and the 184 MHz internal fMAX leaves headroom for 1024x768 designs. Compared with an FPGA-plus-config-memory solution, the MAX V BOM is significantly cheaper and the boot time is essentially zero.

Key Differentiators
- Highest logic density in the MAX V CPLD family (vs 5M160ZT100C4N)
- Commercial-grade speed bin (C4) at the highest fMAX in the MAX V family (vs 5M240ZT100C5N)
- On-chip user flash (8 Kbits) eliminates external EEPROM (vs Discrete MCU + 74-series glue logic design)
Design Notes
The MAX V 5M240Z operates from a 1.8 V VCCINT rail with separate VCCIO rails per bank. Place a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic decoupling capacitor within 100 mils of every VCCINT and VCCIO pin, plus one 10 µF bulk capacitor per supply rail. The device draws approximately 30 mA of Icc in typical operation; peak current during in-system programming can transient up to ~80 mA, so size the 1.8 V regulator accordingly.
The TQFP-100 package has a 0.5 mm lead pitch and 14 x 14 mm body. Use 0.1 mm escape vias in a dog-bone pattern to fan out the inner leads; do not place signal traces under the package. Because the MAX V is non-volatile, no configuration memory footprint is required, saving significant board area compared with an SRAM FPGA of similar LE count. Reserve a 4-pin JTAG header (TMS/TDI/TDO/TCK plus GND/VCCIO1) on every board for in-system programmability.
JTAG pins (TMS, TDI, TDO, TCK) reside in bank 1 and do not support PCI or 1.2 V LVCMOS standards — always set VCCIO1 to 2.5 V or 3.3 V when using the JTAG interface. Do not leave unused I/O pins floating; configure them as outputs driving low or as inputs with weak pull-ups to minimize supply-current creep. When migrating from an FPGA, remember the MAX V has no PLLs, no block RAM, and no DSP blocks — keep glue-logic designs within 240 LE and a single global clock.
Compliance Information
