XC9536XL-10PCG44C

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The XC9536XL-10PCG44C is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the Xilinx XC9500XL family, now under AMD. It features 36 macrocells and 800 usable logic gates within a 44-pin Plastic Chip Grid Array (PCGA) package. The device operates at a maximum system frequency of 100 MHz with a typical I/O delay of 10 ns. It supports a supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 3.6 V and includes in-system programmability via JTAG.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• 36 Macrocells with 800 usable gates for compact logic implementation
• In-System Programmability (ISP) via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface
• 5V tolerant inputs allowing mixed-voltage system integration
• CMOS Flash technology enabling non-volatile configuration without external memory

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Address decoding and bus bridging in embedded systems
• Power-on reset generation and supervisor circuits
• Clock buffering and distribution networks
• Simple state machine control in industrial automation

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer status as AMD acquired Xilinx; confirm the specific PCGA44 package availability from authorized distributors. Ensure the design toolchain supports legacy CPLD families if using older programming hardware. Check for RoHS compliance markings on the component marking code.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when 36 macrocells are sufficient for the logic density requirements. Compare against the standard XC9536 if higher speed grades are not needed. Consider the PCGA44 package only if the PCB layout specifically requires chip grid array termination rather than PLCC or VQFP alternatives.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component is part of the XC9500XL series, which introduced Flash-based non-volatile configuration to the established XC9500 line. It serves as a drop-in replacement for many XC9500 designs while offering lower power consumption and easier programming through JTAG, eliminating the need for dedicated programming cables during field updates.
