The Intel Altera EPM570GF256C5N is a MAX® II CPLD with 570 logic elements, 440 macrocells, and 160 I/O. It is in-system programmable via JTAG, operates from 1.71 V to 1.89 V, and is housed in a 256-ball FBGA (17x17 mm).
5.4 ns tpd — timing closure for the bus
The 5.4 ns maximum propagation delay (tpd1) sets the combinatorial path limit. The 440 macrocells handle medium-density state machines or address maps without cascading multiple smaller devices.
That means no last-time-buy window to plan around and no forced migration to a newer family for existing designs. The MAX® II series is a mature, widely socketed CPLD platform with broad distribution support.
For volume production or BOM-line commitment, the active lifecycle and wide distributor footprint mean supply risk is low — no single-source dependency and no LTB clock ticking.
