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
5M240ZT144A5N is suitable for 6 applications: Bus Interface Bridging, Industrial I/O Expansion and Control, Power-Up Sequencing Logic, LED Display Driving and Control, Legacy Peripheral Emulation, Automotive Aftermarket Electronics.
Bus Interface Bridging
The 5M240ZT144A5N is well-suited for bus-interface bridging between processors and peripherals operating at different voltages. Its 192 macrocells and 114 user I/Os provide ample headroom for 8/16/32-bit data paths, address decoders, and FIFO control logic. The multi-voltage I/O bank architecture (1.2 V to 3.3 V) allows direct connection between, for example, a 1.8 V application processor and a 3.3 V legacy peripheral without external level shifters. Designers typically place the CPLD between the SoC memory bus and the downstream device, decoding chip selects and managing wait-state insertion. Compared with discrete 74-series glue logic, the MAX V integrates the equivalent of 30-50 SSI/MSI packages into a single 144-TQFP device, reducing PCB area and BOM cost.
Recommended
Industrial I/O Expansion and Control
With 114 user I/Os and industrial temperature grade (-40C to +100C), the 5M240ZT144A5N serves as an I/O expansion controller for industrial PLCs, motor drivers, and sensor aggregators. Its 1.8 V core and multi-voltage I/O bank support allow direct connection to 3.3 V digital sensors, 2.5 V logic, and legacy 5 V tolerant inputs (when VCCIO is set to 3.3 V). The flash-based non-volatile configuration ensures deterministic boot in safety-critical systems, eliminating the FPGA configuration delay. Typical designs use the 192 macrocells for PWM generation, encoder decoding (quadrature, SSI, BiSS), and isolated digital I/O control via SPI-to-parallel or shift-register interfaces. The 27 uA standby current supports battery-backed industrial sensor nodes.
Recommended
Power-Up Sequencing Logic
The instant-on, non-volatile configuration of the 5M240ZT144A5N makes it ideal for power-up sequencing controllers in multi-rail systems. Unlike SRAM FPGAs that require milliseconds to configure, the MAX V begins executing logic within microseconds of VCCINT reaching 1.8 V, enabling precise rail-by-rail enable sequencing for processors, FPGAs, and analog blocks. The 192 macrocells support 8-16 independent power-good trees with programmable delays and watchdog monitoring. Designers implement sequence state machines, fault latches, and margining control in the CPLD while delegating high-throughput DSP to downstream processors. The 1.2 V to 3.3 V I/O flexibility allows direct gate-drive of MOSFET enables without external level translation.
Recommended
LED Display Driving and Control
The 5M240ZT144A5N's 114 user I/Os and 192 macrocells handle multi-channel LED matrix driving for commercial signage, traffic displays, and architectural lighting. Each I/O can source/sink 4-8 mA directly, supporting multiplexed 8x8 to 16x16 RGB matrices with row-column decode logic in the CPLD. The 27 uA standby current supports always-on display controllers in battery-backed installations. Designers implement brightness PWM, gamma correction tables, and serial-to-parallel data expansion in the CPLD, freeing the main MCU for content management. The industrial temperature grade ensures operation in outdoor signage cabinets where ambient temperatures exceed +70C.
Recommended
Legacy Peripheral Emulation
The 5M240ZT144A5N is frequently used to emulate legacy peripherals (ISA bus, parallel port, PS/2, UART expansion) on modern systems where the original controller ICs are obsolete. With 192 macrocells, designers implement custom register maps, interrupt controllers, and timing-critical protocols that microcontrollers cannot reliably handle due to software latency. The non-volatile flash configuration provides field-upgradeable firmware without external boot memory. The 144-TQFP package offers 114 I/Os, sufficient for 16-bit ISA-style buses plus control signals. Industrial temperature grade and RoHS compliance make it suitable for long-lifecycle industrial retrofits where 10-15 year product support is required.
Recommended
Automotive Aftermarket Electronics
While the 5M240ZT144A5N is not AEC-Q100 qualified, it serves in automotive aftermarket products such as diagnostic tools, CAN-to-USB gateways, and gauge cluster replacements where industrial temperature grade suffices. The 192 macrocells implement CAN message filtering, custom gauge sweep algorithms, and OBD-II protocol decoding. The 114 user I/Os allow direct drive of segment LCDs and LED bar graphs without external drivers. Designers appreciate the Quartus Prime toolchain's deterministic timing closure for safety-related driver-information displays. For OEM automotive deployment requiring AEC-Q100, designers should select the AEC-Q100 qualified MAX V variants or migrate to Cyclone IV GX with automotive qualification.

Key Differentiators
- Highest macrocell count within the MAX V 144-TQFP family (vs 5M160ZT144A5N)
- MAX V architecture vs MAX II for newer toolchain support (vs 5M1270ZT144A5N (MAX II))
- Industrial temperature grade for harsh environments (vs 5M240ZT144C5N)
Design Notes
Estimated: At VCCINT = 1.8 V, the 5M240ZT144A5N core draws approximately 50-100 mA active depending on toggle rate, plus I/O bank current. Each VCCIO bank can draw 50-200 mA based on switching activity and load. Place a 100 nF decoupling capacitor within 5 mm of every VCCINT and VCCIO pin, plus a bulk 10-47 uF tantalum or ceramic capacitor near the package. Total worst-case power dissipation is estimated at 0.5-1.0 W, well within TQFP-144 thermal limits without external heatsinking.
The 144-pin TQFP package has 0.5 mm pitch leads. Use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated ground plane beneath the device to provide low-impedance return paths for switching I/Os. Keep all JTAG signals (TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO) less than 50 mm trace length and avoid routing them near high-speed switching signals to prevent programming errors. Unused I/O pins should be configured as tri-state inputs with weak pull-up enabled in the Quartus assignment editor to minimize power and noise.
Do not confuse the 5M240Z (MAX V, 240 logic elements) with the 5M1270Z (MAX II, 1270 logic elements) - they share the same package outline but the 5M1270Z has 5x the logic capacity and uses the older MAX II architecture. Also note that the 5M240Z uses flash configuration while the older MAX II 5M1270Z uses a similar flash scheme but with different programming files - Quartus Prime projects are NOT interchangeable between MAX II and MAX V without re-targeting. Verify the JTAG ID code matches the expected device family before programming.
Compliance Information
RoHS and REACH compliant per Intel product documentation. Not AEC-Q100 qualified - this part is intended for industrial and consumer applications, not automotive OEM. For AEC-Q100 automotive deployment, select MAX V variants with automotive qualification or migrate to Cyclone IV/MAX 10 automotive-qualified families.
