• Operates on a single 1.8V power supply (1.7V–1.9V range).
• Provides 212 user-accessible I/O pins in a 256-pin FTBGA package.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Logic level translation between different voltage domains.
• Address decoding and chip select generation in embedded systems.
• Replacement for legacy PAL/GAL devices in industrial control applications.
• Simple state machine implementation for peripheral interfacing.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '10' confirms the 10 ns speed grade and 'FT256' denotes the 256-FTBGA package. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per current manufacturer declarations. Check for End-of-Life (EOL) notices or Product Change Notifications (PCN) from AMD/Xilinx, as older CPLD families may have limited long-term availability. Ensure design files match the exact package outline drawing for the 17x17mm footprint.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 512 macrocells are sufficient for the design logic requirements. The 10 ns speed grade is suitable for moderate-frequency interfaces. Compare against the XC2C384 if fewer macrocells are needed, or the XC2C512-7 if a faster 7 ns delay is required. Ensure the 256-pin FTBGA package fits the PCB space constraints. Verify that the 1.8V core voltage aligns with the system power architecture.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component belongs to the AMD CoolRunner-II CPLD family, which bridges the gap between simple discrete logic and complex FPGAs. It utilizes non-volatile Flash technology, allowing for instant-on functionality without external configuration memory. The family is known for low power consumption and high reliability in industrial environments. The XC2C512 represents a mid-range density option within this series.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package and speed grade should be verified against the official AMD Cross Reference Guide. Other members of the CoolRunner-II family with identical packaging may serve as functional substitutes if logic resources permit. No third-party cross-compatible parts are officially documented for this specific part number.
