XCR3512XL-7FTG256C

Overview

The XCR3512XL-7FTG256C is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) belonging to the CoolRunner-XPLA3 family, manufactured by AMD. It features 512 macrocells and supports up to 212 I/Os within a 256-pin FineLine BGA package. The device operates on a single 2.7V to 3.6V supply voltage and offers a maximum propagation delay of 7 ns with a top frequency of 135 MHz. It utilizes non-volatile EEPROM technology for configuration storage, allowing for system-in-programmability capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Contains 512 macrocells and 12,000 usable gates across 2 logic array blocks.
• Supports up to 212 user I/Os for high-density interconnect applications.
• Features non-volatile EEPROM memory for instant-on configuration without external boot devices.
• Operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Applications

• System controller and glue logic replacement in embedded systems.
• Address decoding and bus bridging in industrial control equipment.
• Power management interface logic for server and networking hardware.
• Test and measurement instrument control interfaces.

Procurement Notes

This component has reached End-of-Life (EOL) status as per discontinuation notifications dated January 1, 2024. Procurement is restricted to remaining distributor stock or secondary market sources. Verify RoHS compliance status carefully, as older production runs may not meet current environmental regulations. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints when sourcing from alternative suppliers.

Selection Notes

Select this CPLD for designs requiring moderate logic density with fast propagation delays. The 7-speed grade provides a 7 ns max delay, suitable for mid-range clock frequencies. Compare against the XCR3512XL-12FT256I if an extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) is required instead of the commercial range. Consider pinout compatibility with legacy XCR3000 series designs if migrating existing architectures.

Part Context

The XCR3512XL-7FTG256C is part of the CoolRunner-XPLA3 series, which succeeded the XCR3000 line. This generation introduced improved performance and lower power consumption while maintaining backward compatibility with many Xilinx design tools. The 'FTG' suffix indicates the specific 256-pin FineLine BGA package variant used for this part number.
