XC4013XL-3HT144C

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The XC4013XL-3HT144C is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Xilinx, now part of AMD. It belongs to the XL series and features 576 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), equivalent to approximately 10,000 logic gates. The device operates with a maximum clock frequency of 166 MHz and utilizes a 144-pin High Temperature Thin Quad Flatpack (HTQFP) package. Key electrical parameters include a CLB combinational delay of 1.3 ns, 192 inputs, and 192 outputs. The component is designed for high-density programmable logic applications requiring robust performance in industrial or commercial environments.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• High-density programmable logic architecture with 576 CLBs
• Industrial temperature range capability indicated by HT suffix
• Supports complex digital circuit prototyping and implementation
• Compatible with standard Xilinx design tools for configuration

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Digital signal processing implementations
• Prototyping of custom logic circuits
• Industrial control systems requiring reconfigurable logic
• Communication interface adapters

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as Xilinx was acquired by AMD. Ensure the specific suffix matches the required thermal and pinout specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your project. Check for obsolescence notices from the current manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 576 CLBs are sufficient for the target logic density. Compare against other XL series variants if different package sizes or speed grades are needed. Consider the 166 MHz speed grade relative to system timing requirements. Verify that the HTQFP-144 package fits the available PCB footprint constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component is part of the Xilinx Spartan-XL family, which succeeded the original Spartan series with enhanced performance and lower power consumption. The XL series was widely used in the late 1990s and early 2000s for cost-sensitive embedded logic applications. It represents a transitional technology between older CPLDs and modern high-performance FPGAs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may be limited due to age. Consider Xilinx Spartan-3 or Spartan-6 families for modern equivalents, though pinouts and toolchains will differ significantly. Verify functional compatibility through simulation before substitution.
