Selection Guidance

When selecting the 5M160ZT100C5N, consider the logic capacity (160 LEs) for your design complexity. The 1.8V core requires appropriate power supply design. For higher I/O or logic density, other MAX V variants (e.g., 5M240 or 5M570) may be considered. Verify exact I/O count and memory size from the official datasheet before finalizing your design.
