XC2C384-7TQ144C

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The XC2C384-7TQ144C is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the Xilinx CoolRunner-II family, manufactured by AMD. It features 384 macrocells and supports up to 50 I/O pins within a 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP). The device operates with a maximum system clock frequency of 166 MHz and includes on-chip SRAM for configuration retention. Key electrical characteristics include a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 3.6V and support for JTAG boundary-scan testing.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• 384 macrocells with non-volatile configuration retention via on-chip SRAM
• Supports up to 50 user I/O pins in a 144-pin TQFP package
• Maximum system clock frequency of 166 MHz
• Integrated JTAG boundary-scan capability for test and debug

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Interface bridging between different voltage domains or protocols
• Address decoding and control logic in embedded systems
• Simple state machine implementation for industrial control
• Replacement for legacy GALs or PALs in existing designs

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TQ144C' confirms the 144-pin TQFP package and commercial temperature grade. Ensure the part number matches the exact speed grade '-7' (166 MHz) required for timing closure. Confirm authenticity through authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components, as this is a mature product line.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this component when design requirements fit within 384 macrocells and 50 I/Os. The CoolRunner-II architecture offers lower power consumption compared to older CPLD families. Consider the TQFP package availability if surface-mount space allows; alternative packages like PQ208 or FGG324 may be needed for higher pin counts.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This part belongs to the Xilinx CoolRunner-II CPLD family, designed for low-power, high-performance logic applications. It serves as a successor to the CoolRunner series, offering improved performance and density while maintaining compatibility with existing design tools and methodologies.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same family include XC2C384 variants with different speed grades or packages, such as XC2C384-7PQ208C. Cross-family migration to newer AMD/Xilinx CPLDs requires re-evaluation of toolchain support and architectural differences.
