M5LV-256/68-7YI

The M5LV-256/68-7YI device is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) designed and manufactured by Intersil Corporation. It is a reprogrammable logic device with a high density of logic elements suitable for a wide range of embedded applications. The device features an identical die for all versions of the device, ensuring full compatibility across all versions.

The M5LV-256/68-7YI device features 256 logic cells and 68 I/O pins (I/O stands for Input/Output). The logic cells are configured with an On/Low capability for each pin and can be programmed to create complex logic functions. This makes the device ideal for use in embedded systems as it can be used to produce complex logic functions such as state machines, memory control and event control.

The M5LV-256/68-7YI device is designed to be flexible and can be used in a variety of embedded applications, such as industrial control, medical equipment, automotive, commercial and consumer electronics, and security. It can handle up to 3.3V logic levels and is pin-compatible with other CPLDs, allowing designers to quickly and easily migrate existing designs to the M5LV-256/68-7YI.

The working principle of the M5LV-256/68-7YI device is simple, but powerful. The device contains a large number of programmable logic gates which can be reconfigured using an external programming device. This allows designers to quickly and easily create custom logic functions for their embedded applications. The logic functions can then be stored in the device’s memory and are retained even when the device is powered off.

Another feature of the M5LV-256/68-7YI device is that it can be reconfigured in-circuit. This means that changes can be made to the logic functions without the need to power down or disconnect the device from the system. This is an important feature for embedded systems which require fast reaction times and minimised downtime.

In conclusion, the M5LV-256/68-7YI device is a powerful and versatile CPLD suitable for a wide range of embedded applications. Its high density of logic elements, flexible programming options and in-circuit reconfigurability make it an ideal choice for designers who require a reprogrammable logic solution.
