XC2C512-10PQ208I

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The XC2C512-10PQ208I is a CoolRunner-II Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) manufactured by AMD. It features 512 macrocells and operates with a maximum propagation delay of 9.2 ns at a system frequency of 208 MHz. The device supports a core voltage range of 1.7 V to 1.9 V and utilizes FastZeroPower technology for low static power consumption. Packaged in a 208-pin PQFP, it offers non-volatile configuration without external memory requirements. The industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) ensures reliable operation in demanding environments.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'I' indicates the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm package integrity for the 208-PQFP form factor. Ensure compatibility with existing design tools for CoolRunner-II devices. Check for end-of-life status or alternative recommendations from AMD documentation.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring moderate logic density (512 macrocells) with low power constraints. Compare against higher-density CoolRunner-II variants if more I/O or logic resources are needed. Verify that the 3.3V I/O standards (LVTTL/LVCMOS) match the target system interface requirements.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component belongs to the AMD (formerly Xilinx) CoolRunner-II family of CPLDs. It serves as a successor to older GAL and PAL devices, offering reprogrammability and higher integration. The series is designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring flexible logic control with minimal power usage.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the CoolRunner-II family include XC2C512-10PQ208C (commercial grade) or XC2C512-7PQ208I (faster speed grade). Cross-family migration to newer CoolRunner-ZU or MachXO3 devices requires schematic and code adaptation.
