MAX V devices support 1.8 V on their VCCINT pins. This external supply powers the device core directly, providing functionality with low dynamic and low stand-by power. The MultiVolt I/O interface (VCCIO) provides flexible support for many I/O standards using 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V voltage levels.

Features
MAX V CPLDs offer features (see Table 4) that directly translate to designer benefits, including lower total cost, design ease of use, and system integration.
| Table 4. MAX V CPLD Features at a Glance | |
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Cost optimized | MAX V CPLDs are manufactured using a low-cost 0.18-µm fab process combined with the latest low-cost packaging technologies. |
| Low power | MAX V CPLDs offer up to 50 percent lower total power compared to equivalent density competitive CPLDs, generating less heat and saving battery power. |
| Internal oscillator | MAX V CPLDs offer an internal oscillator which can replace external discrete timing devices for use as a simple clocking source, saving BOM costs. |
| Fast power-on and reset | MAX V CPLDs power on and reset themselves quickly (500 µs or less), making them ideal for power management, power sequencing, and monitoring of other devices on the PCB. |
| Realtime in-system programmability (ISP) | MAX V CPLDs allow you to update a second configuration image while the CPLD is in operation. |
| I/O capabilities | MAX V I/Os are hot-socket compliant and support LVTTL, LVCMOS, PCITM, and LVDS output interface standards, along with other bus-friendly options (e.g. output enable per pin, Schmitt triggers, slew rate control, and others). |
| Green packages | All packages (EQFP, TQFP, MBGA, and FBGA) are available in restriction of hazardeous substances (RoHS)-compliant variants, meeting the "low-halogen" requirements per JEDEC document JED 709 (draft). Selected packages are available in leaded variants. (1), (2), (3), (4) |
| Parallel Flash Loader | MAX V CPLDs feature a JTAG block that can configure external non-JTAG-compliant devices such as discrete flash memory devices using the Parallel Flash Loader IP Megafunction. |
| Industrial temperature support | MAX V CPLDs support the industrial temperature range, -40°C to +100°C (junction), required for various industrial and other temperature-sensitive applications. |
