XC9536XL-10VQG64C

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Overview

The XC9536XL-10VQG64C is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the AMD/Xilinx XC9500XL family. It features 36 macrocells and 800 usable gates within two Logic Array Blocks (LABs). The device operates with a maximum propagation delay of 10 ns and supports system frequencies up to 178 MHz. It utilizes Advanced CMOS 5V FastFLASH technology, allowing for in-system programming via IEEE Std 1149.1 JTAG interface. The component is housed in a 64-pin VQFP package and supports both 3.3 V and 5 V I/O levels.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Feature Summary

• 36 Macrocells with 800 usable gates across 2 LABs
• 10 ns maximum pin-to-pin logic delay
• In-System Programmability (ISP) via JTAG
• Supports 3.3 V and 5 V I/O voltage levels

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring real-time logic processing
• Address decoding and bus bridging in embedded designs
• Gate replacement for legacy TTL/CMOS logic circuits
• Power-on reset generation and clock management

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as the part may be listed under AMD or Xilinx branding depending on the supply chain history. Confirm the specific suffix 'C' indicates commercial temperature range operation. Ensure the package type matches the required 64-pin VQFP footprint for PCB layout compatibility.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements involve moderate logic density (up to 36 macrocells) with high-speed performance needs around 10 ns delays. It is suitable for applications requiring non-volatile configuration without external memory. Compare against the standard XC9536 if lower speed is acceptable, or the XC9536XV series if strictly low-voltage (2.5 V) operation is mandated.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Part Context

This component belongs to the XC9500XL series, an evolution of the original XC9500 CPLD line. The XL series offers improved power consumption and higher density compared to its predecessor while maintaining pin-compatible packages. It represents a mature technology platform widely used for general-purpose programmable logic in established industrial and consumer electronics products.

Complex Programmable Logic Devices Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include the XC9536XL-10VQG64T for extended temperature ranges. For functional equivalents with different packaging, consider the XC9536XL-10VQ44C in a 44-pin QFP package if I/O count permits reduction.
