XC9572XL-5TQ100C

Overview

The AMD XC9572XL-5TQ100C is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the XC9500XL family. It features 72 macrocells, 1600 usable gates, and four Logic Array Blocks (LABs). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V and supports surface-mount installation in a TQFP-100 package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 5 ns and a maximum operating frequency of 178 MHz. It functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C with a typical operating current of 20 mA.

Feature Summary

• Flash-based non-volatile memory technology for instant-on functionality without external configuration devices.
• High-speed performance with a maximum propagation delay of 5 ns and operating frequency up to 178 MHz.
• System In-Programmability (SIPI) capability allowing reprogramming over 10,000 times.
• Integrated 72 macrocells distributed across four Logic Array Blocks (LABs).

Applications

• High-density logic replacement in industrial control systems.
• Address decoding and bus buffering in embedded computing architectures.
• State machine implementation for communication protocol interfaces.
• Glue logic consolidation in mixed-signal circuit designs.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels due to potential availability from secondary markets. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older manufacturing lots may not meet current environmental regulations. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed, as the device exhibits moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL 3), requiring controlled storage conditions prior to soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 5 ns speed grade is required for 72-macrocell applications. Compare against the -7 speed grade variant if lower power consumption is prioritized over switching speed. Ensure the design accommodates the 3.0 V to 3.6 V I/O voltage requirements. Verify that the TQFP-100 footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This component is part of the XC9500XL series, an evolution of the original XC9500 line featuring Flash memory instead of EEPROM. The 'XL' designation indicates enhanced performance and density improvements. The suffix '5' denotes the 5 ns speed grade, while 'TQ100' specifies the 100-pin Thin Quad Flat Package. This family serves as a drop-in replacement for legacy CPLDs in many existing designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes within the same speed grade are limited. The XC9572XL-7TQ100C offers identical functionality but with a slower 7.5 ns delay. Cross-family replacements such as Lattice LC4000 or Microchip ATF16V8 require schematic redesign and firmware updates due to architectural differences.
