XC4036XL-09HQ208C

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The XC4036XL-09HQ208C is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the AMD Xilinx XL Family. It features 1296 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 22,000 system gates. The device operates at a maximum frequency of 179 MHz with a speed grade of -09. It utilizes CMOS technology and is housed in a 208-pin High-Performance Quad Flat Package (HQFP), specifically designated as HQG208.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Configurable logic architecture based on 1296 CLBs for flexible digital design implementation
• High-performance signal processing capabilities supported by 179 MHz operating frequency
• CMOS manufacturing process ensuring low power consumption relative to legacy technologies

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring programmable logic flexibility
• Test and measurement equipment utilizing high-speed data processing
• Telecommunications infrastructure components

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'HQG208' against official datasheets to confirm the package type matches the required footprint. Ensure the speed grade '-09' aligns with timing requirements. Confirm the manufacturer origin, as AMD acquired Xilinx, and check for RoHS compliance status relevant to the production batch.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when 1296 CLBs are sufficient for the logic density needs. Compare against the XC4028EX series if lower gate counts are acceptable for cost reduction. Verify that the 208-pin HQFP package fits the PCB layout constraints compared to BGAs or smaller QFPs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Xilinx XL Family, an enhanced version of the standard Spartan-3E or Virtex-4 derived architectures depending on specific lineage documentation. It serves as a mid-range FPGA solution balancing performance and resource availability within the broader AMD portfolio.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other parts in the XL family such as XC4036XL-2HQG208I, noting differences in speed grades (-2 vs -09). Cross-family migration to Spartan-3A or Artix-7 requires significant redesign due to architectural differences.
