XCR3512XL-7PQG208C

Overview

The XCR3512XL-7PQG208C is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) from the AMD CoolRunner XPLA3 series. It features 512 macrocells, 12,000 gates, and 180 I/Os in a 208-pin PQFP package. The device operates at 3V to 3.6V with a maximum propagation delay of 7 ns. It utilizes EEPROM memory for non-volatile configuration and supports In-System Programming (ISP). The component is rated for industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C) and is moisture sensitive.

Feature Summary

• Supports In-System Programming via JTAG interface
• Non-volatile EEPROM configuration memory
• High-density logic architecture with 512 macrocells

Applications

• Industrial control system interface logic
• Communication equipment protocol conversion
• Consumer electronics functional control

Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Procurement requires verification of availability through authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers. Ensure that any sourced units are genuine AMD products and have been handled according to moisture sensitivity level requirements to prevent damage during storage and assembly.

Selection Notes

Engineers should consider this part only if legacy compatibility with the CoolRunner XPLA3 series is required. Due to its obsolete status, alternative modern CPLDs or FPGAs may offer better performance and supply chain stability. Verify pinout and voltage compatibility before replacing existing designs with newer generation devices.

Part Context

The XCR3512XL-7PQG208C belongs to the CoolRunner XPLA3 family, designed for low-power applications requiring moderate logic density. It bridges the gap between simple PLDs and high-end FPGAs, offering reprogrammability without the volatility of SRAM-based devices. This series was widely used in embedded systems prior to the transition to more advanced architectures.
