XCR3512XL-12PQG208C

Overview

The XCR3512XL-12PQG208C is a CoolRunner-II CPLD manufactured by AMD (formerly Xilinx). It features 512 macrocells and supports up to 180 I/O pins within a 208-pin PQFP package. The device operates at a maximum clock frequency of 88 MHz with a typical pin-to-pin propagation delay of 12 ns. It utilizes a 3.3V supply voltage and incorporates non-volatile EEPROM technology for in-system programmability, allowing for repeated reconfiguration without external memory components.

Feature Summary

• 512 Macrocells with 12 ns propagation delay
• 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP)
• In-System Programmable via JTAG
• 3.3V Operating Voltage

Applications

• Industrial control logic interfacing
• Protocol conversion in communication equipment
• Consumer electronics function control
• Automotive electronic logic control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' against official AMD documentation to confirm temperature range and commercial grade status. Ensure compatibility with legacy design tools such as Xilinx ISE if existing project files are utilized. Confirm lead-free compliance requirements against current environmental regulations.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring moderate logic density with low power consumption. The 12 ns speed grade suits applications where timing constraints are less critical than cost or ease of integration. Compare against higher-density XL series parts if additional macrocells are required for future scalability.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CoolRunner-II family, designed for low-power CPLD applications. It bridges the gap between simple GALs and complex FPGAs, offering deterministic timing and non-volatile configuration suitable for system management and glue logic replacement.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements may include other CoolRunner-II variants with matching pin counts. Verify electrical parameters such as VCCIO levels and drive strength before substituting with similar CPLDs from alternative manufacturers.
