EPM570GF100C5N

EPM570GF100C5N is an Altera (now Intel) MAX II CPLD device. Key points:
- Family and type: MAX II CPLD, used for glue logic, simple state machines, and I/O interfacing.
- Capacity: about 570 logic elements (LEs).
- Package: FineLine BGA, 100-pin (GF100) with RoHS-compliant “N” suffix.
- I/O and voltage: multiple I/O banks; typically 2.0–3.3V I/O operation (I/O standards depend on bank).
- Configuration: non-volatile configuration memory and in-system/programming options (load from an external PROM or via programming hardware).
- Tools and languages: programmed with Intel/Altera software (Quartus Prime, and older MAX II tools); HDL options include VHDL/Verilog (and schematic entry on older flows).
- Typical use: small to mid-size glue logic, simple controllers, peripheral interfaces, timing-critical logic with low pin count.
- Documentation: refer to the official EPM570GF100C5N datasheet and user guides for exact pinout, timing, power, and configuration details.
Note: It’s an older CPLD family; verify current availability and specs in the datasheet.

FBGA (FineLine Ball Grid Array), 100-ball package.

Pin count: 100 pins (FBGA100).
Function: Altera MAX 7000S CPLD with ~570 logic elements (570 LE), used for glue logic and implementing combinational/sequential digital logic.

Manufacturer: Intel Corporation (formerly Altera). Intel acquired Altera in 2015; the EPM570GF100C5N is a MAX II CPLD from Altera’s line, now under Intel.
What kind of company: Intel is a multinational technology company that designs and manufactures semiconductor devices and related hardware/software, including CPUs, FPGAs/CPLDs, memory, and other integrated circuits.
