🏭

Industrial Control Logic

The 5M40ZM64C4's 32 macrocells, 7.5 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay, and instant-on non-volatile flash make it well suited for industrial control logic in PLCs, motor controllers, and sensor-interface modules. Its 30 user I/O pins comfortably support typical industrial buses (RS-485 transceivers, 24 V opto-isolated inputs, and encoder feedback lines) while the MAX V family's 27 µW static power dissipation enables fanless sealed enclosures.

Recommended

🧩

I/O Expansion for Microcontrollers

With 30 user I/O pins and JTAG re-programmability, the 5M40ZM64C4 acts as a low-cost I/O expander for resource-constrained microcontrollers (e.g., 8-bit PICs, low-end STM32s). It provides deterministic latency critical for time-sensitive peripheral control such as PWM generation, quadrature decoding, or LED multiplexing. The 1.2-3.3 V VCCIO banks can directly interface with 3.3 V MCUs or legacy 5 V-tolerant gates via external pull-ups.

What is the Altera 5M40ZM64C4?

The 5M40ZM64C4 is a MAX V family CPLD from Altera (now Intel) with 32 macrocells, 40 Logic Elements, 184.1 MHz fMAX, and 7.5 ns pin-to-pin delay in a 64-ball MBGA package. It runs on 1.8 V VCCINT and supports 1.2 V to 3.3 V VCCIO banks for flexible interfacing with modern low-voltage ASICs, FPGAs, and microcontrollers without external level shifters.

How many user I/O pins does the 5M40ZM64C4 provide?

The 5M40ZM64C4 exposes 30 usable user I/O pins out of a 52 device maximum, with the remainder allocated to dedicated JTAG, power, configuration, and ground balls. This I/O count comfortably supports 16-bit address/databus bridges, SPI/I2C/GPIO expansion, and LED matrix drivers on a single chip without external buffers.

What is the difference between 5M40ZM64C4 and 5M40ZE64C4N?

Both are 32-macrocell MAX V CPLDs, but the 5M40ZM64C4 ships in the 64-ball MBGA package while the 5M40ZE64C4N ships in the 64-pin EQFP (plastic quad flat pack). Electrically they share the same die, so logic and timing are identical, but PCB layout and rework differ - choose MBGA for compact high-vibration designs and EQFP for hand-rework prototyping.

Where can I buy the 5M40ZM64C4 online?

The 5M40ZM64C4 is in stock at authorized distributors including DigiKey (listing 4159351), Mouser, and Hotenda as of 2026-09-06. Octopart aggregates 2 distributors for live pricing and lead-time comparison. XAIPART also stocks factory-traced reels with full lot-trace documentation for aerospace and medical customers.

What is the unit price of 5M40ZM64C4 at 100 pieces?

At 100-piece quantity, the 5M40ZM64C4 unit price is approximately $4.92 USD as of 2026-09-06, per DigiKey distributor data. Pricing tiers drop to roughly $4.30 at 500 pieces and $3.85 at 1,000 pieces; volumes above 3,000 reels should be quoted via franchise distribution for OEM cost-down.

What is the lead time for 5M40ZM64C4 orders?

Factory-direct lead time for the 5M40ZM64C4 is typically 8-12 weeks from the date of purchase order. Distributor stock (DigiKey/Mouser) is generally available for immediate shipment with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 18:00 PT. Obsolete or last-time-buy windows are not currently announced for this part.

Is the 5M40ZM64C4 a drop-in replacement for 5M40ZE64C4N?

The 5M40ZM64C4 is NOT a drop-in replacement for 5M40ZE64C4N because the package differs: MBGA 64-ball vs EQFP 64-pin. Although the silicon die is identical and the JTAG interface is the same, the PCB footprint and rework procedure are different, so it cannot be soldered onto the same pads. Choose the MBGA variant only when the PCB was designed for BGA.

Where can I download the 5M40ZM64C4 datasheet PDF?

The 5M40ZM64C4 datasheet can be downloaded as a PDF from the Alldatasheet archive (5M40ZM64C4N listing, 72 pages, last updated 2026-09-06) or via the Intel/Altera MAX V Device Handbook hosted on Intel's FPGA documentation portal. The device handbook covers electrical characteristics, AC/DC specs, JTAG programming, and reference schematics.

Where can I find the 5M40ZM64C4 pinout diagram?

The 5M40ZM64C4 pinout is documented in the MAX V Device Handbook (Intel/Altera), specifically the MBGA-64 ball-grid diagram showing ball A1 origin, signal function per ball, and JTAG ball assignments. XAIPART also renders the pinout as a clickable SVG on this product page (top-down view, pin A1 marked with a dot indicator).

5M40ZM64C4 vs 5M40ZE64I5N - which is better for industrial control?

For industrial control applications requiring -40 °C to +100 °C extended temperature, choose the 5M40ZE64I5N (I-grade, EQFP package). The 5M40ZM64C4 is commercial-grade (0 °C to +85 °C) in MBGA - it is not suitable for outdoor, factory-floor, or extended-temperature cabinets. Both share identical logic density, so the I-grade is preferred for harsh environments.

Can 5M40ZM64C4 replace a 5M80ZM64 CPLD?

No, the 5M40ZM64C4 cannot directly replace a 5M80ZM64 because the 5M80 family has 64 macrocells versus 32 macrocells on the 5M40 - the larger device has twice the logic capacity. Migration downward would force a redesign. Upgrading in the opposite direction (5M40 to 5M80 in the same MBGA-64 package) is feasible, but pin assignments must be re-validated against the new datasheet.

When should I choose 5M40ZM64C4 over a small FPGA?

Choose the 5M40ZM64C4 over a small FPGA when you need instant-on non-volatile boot (sub-millisecond), deterministic 7.5 ns pin-to-pin latency, ultra-low 27 µW static power, or single-chip glue-logic in the 30-I/O range. Choose a small FPGA (e.g., MAX 10) when you need more than 64 macrocells, soft-core CPUs, on-chip RAM blocks, or ADC functionality.

What JTAG programmer is required for 5M40ZM64C4?

The 5M40ZM64C4 is programmed via the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface using the Altera/Intel USB-Blaster, ByteBlasterMV, or compatible third-party JTAG programmers such as the Terasic Blaster and open-source clones. Altera Quartus II (or Quartus Prime) software generates the .pof programming file and drives the programmer; cable length should not exceed 30 cm for reliable in-system programming.

What is the best cross-brand equivalent for the 5M40ZM64C4?

The closest cross-brand equivalents to the 5M40ZM64C4 are Xilinx CoolRunner-II XC2C32A in the same BGA package and Lattice Semiconductor ispMACH 4032ZE in QFP-64 - both offer 32 macrocells at comparable 7.5 ns tPD. Note that pin-to-pin drop-in compatibility is NOT guaranteed across brands; PCB redesign is required to migrate to a different vendor.

Is the 5M40ZM64C4 still in production in 2026?

Yes, the 5M40ZM64C4 is in active production as of 2026-09-06 and is not on any Intel/Altera last-time-buy or PCN/EOL notice. DigiKey lists current stock and Mouser continues to franchise the part. The MAX V family has been in production since 2010 and remains a long-life-cycle product for industrial, automotive, and consumer customers requiring guaranteed multi-decade supply.

Selection Guide

Choose the 5M40ZM64C4 when your design needs an instant-on, non-volatile 32-macrocell CPLD in a compact 64-ball MBGA package for commercial-temperature (0-85 °C) applications. Migrate to 5M40ZM64I5N if the device must operate from -40 °C to +100 °C in industrial or outdoor enclosures. Step up to 5M80ZM64C4N (64 macrocells) when logic capacity is the bottleneck but the MBGA-64 footprint must stay the same. For lower-cost or lower-speed designs, the A-grade 5M40ZM64A5N offers identical density at reduced fMAX. Move to MAX 10 (5M10) family parts only when you need on-chip ADC, DSP blocks, or >240 logic elements - otherwise the MAX V family's 27 µW static power and instant-on flash beat the MAX 10's volatile SRAM in standby-sensitive applications.

Design Notes

Decoupling: Place one 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor as close as possible (≤2 mm trace) to each VCCINT and VCCIO ball, with a 10 µF bulk tantalum or ceramic capacitor within 10 mm of the device. The 1.8 V VCCINT is generated internally; do not drive it externally. Ensure a continuous ground plane on layer 2 directly under the BGA - this both supplies the return current and thermally couples the die to the PCB.

BGA layout: 64-ball MBGA at 0.5 mm pitch requires 0.4 mm laser-drilled micro-vias and a 4-layer PCB minimum (signal/ground/power/signal). Use a dog-bone or via-in-pad construction; via-in-pad with ENIG plating yields the best assembly results. Match trace lengths for JTAG TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO to within 10 mm to avoid signal-integrity issues at the maximum JTAG clock rate. Solder paste stencil: 4 mil (0.1 mm) thickness, aperture reduction 10% for ball-on-pad alignment.

JTAG chain integrity: When chaining multiple MAX V devices, set the nSTATUS and CONF_DONE signals to open-drain mode with 10 kΩ pull-ups to VCCIO of the respective bank. TCK should be series-terminated with a 33 Ω resistor near the driver if the chain exceeds 50 mm total length. Do not hot-swap the JTAG cable while VCCIO is off - back-powering the JTAG I/Os through ESD diodes can latch-up the device.

Common pitfalls: (1) Configuring unused I/O pins as outputs and driving them - configure as inputs with internal weak pull-up to avoid contention during configuration. (2) Exceeding the 3.3 V VCCIO maximum - applying 5 V to a 3.3 V-configured bank destroys the input buffers. (3) Skipping the bulk-decoupling capacitor - the internal 1.8 V regulator needs low-impedance bulk storage to handle simultaneous switching of multiple macrocells. (4) Forgetting to issue 'Beginner's Guide to MAX V CPLDs' power-on reset delay of ≥1 ms before JTAG access.
