XC4013XL-2PQ240I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The XC4013XL-2PQ240I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Xilinx, now part of AMD. It features 576 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 10,000 equivalent logic gates, with a maximum usable capacity of 13,000 gates. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 179 MHz and exhibits a CLB maximum combinatorial delay of 1.5 ns. It utilizes CMOS technology and is housed in a 240-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP), specifically identified as QFP-240 or S-PQFP-G240. The component has a length of 32 mm, contains 240 terminals, and carries a moisture sensitivity level of 3.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• High-density programmable logic architecture providing 576 CLBs for complex digital design implementation.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Digital signal processing systems requiring high-speed logic operations.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm lead times and availability directly with authorized distributors or AMD, as this legacy FPGA may have limited stock. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required for the specific revision. Check for end-of-life status before finalizing procurement plans.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 576 CLBs are sufficient for the target design. Compare the 179 MHz speed grade against system timing requirements. Consider the PQFP-240 package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate thermal management needs for the plastic QFP package. Verify compatibility with existing Xilinx development tools and programming cables.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Xilinx Spartan-XL family, an enhanced version of the original Spartan series offering higher performance and density. The 'XL' designation indicates extended speed grades and improved features compared to standard Spartan devices. It serves as a bridge between low-cost entry-level FPGAs and higher-end Virtex families, targeting cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate complexity.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly confirmed for this specific legacy part number. Consider upgrading to modern Xilinx/AMD Artix or Kintex families for new designs, noting significant architectural and pinout differences. Existing board designs may require complete redesigns rather than simple component swaps.
