XC4013XL-3PQ160I0630

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The XC4013XL-3PQ160I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Xilinx CoolRunner-II and Spartan-XL families, manufactured by AMD. It features 576 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 10,000 system gates. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 166 MHz and operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V, with a nominal rating of 3.3 V. It is housed in a 240-pin Plastic Quad Flatpack (PQFP) package with a 0.5 mm pin pitch. This component utilizes CMOS technology and is designed for general-purpose programmable logic applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Provides 576 CLBs for flexible digital logic implementation
• Supports high-speed operation up to 166 MHz
• Compatible with standard 3.3V power supplies

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• General-purpose digital logic prototyping
• Interface bridging between different voltage domains
• Simple state machine implementations

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' indicates industrial temperature range compliance. Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint. Check for end-of-life status as older FPGA models may be discontinued. Ensure compatibility with legacy design tools if migrating existing projects.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 576 CLBs are sufficient for the design complexity. Consider the PQFP240 package constraints for board space. Evaluate if the 166 MHz speed grade meets timing requirements. Compare against newer UltraScale+ devices for improved performance and lower power consumption if feasible.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Spartan-XL family, an evolution of the original Spartan architecture. It offers increased logic density compared to earlier Spartan devices while maintaining cost-effectiveness. The XL series was designed to bridge the gap between low-end CPLDs and higher-end FPGAs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are limited due to architectural differences. Consider AMD/Xilinx Spartan-6 or Artix-7 series for modern equivalents, though pinouts and I/O standards will differ significantly. Verify software toolchain compatibility when upgrading.
