Product details
Overview
XC2C256-7CPG132I from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a CoolRunner-II CPLD featuring 256 macrocells, 132-pin CP (Chip Scale Package), 7 ns propagation delay, and 1.8 V core voltage. It serves as a glue-logic replacement in legacy industrial control and telecom interface boards requiring low-power, non-volatile reprogrammability.
For engineers reviewing the XC2C256-7CPG132I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include macrocell count, I/O count (100 user I/Os), supply voltage tolerance (1.71–1.89 V), and JTAG boundary-scan compliance per IEEE 1149.1.
Technical Context
The XC2C256-7CPG132I implements a fully decoded PLA architecture with function block interconnect via a global routing pool. Each of its eight function blocks contains 32 macrocells with individually configurable product-term-based logic, registered or combinatorial outputs, and local feedback paths.
It supports in-system programmability via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface and includes advanced power management features such as DataGATE™ to disable unused logic blocks dynamically, reducing dynamic power consumption by up to 50% in partial-activity scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Macrocell Count | 256 macrocells - provides sufficient logic density for medium-complexity state machines and bus interface translation. |
| Propagation Delay | 7 ns - enables reliable operation in 100 MHz synchronous control paths with margin. |
| Core Voltage | 1.8 V ±5% - requires dedicated 1.8 V LDO regulation; not compatible with 3.3 V or 2.5 V core supplies. |
| User I/O Pins | 100 - supports wide parallel bus interfacing (e.g., 16-bit data + address + control signals). |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial temperature environments. |
| JTAG Support | IEEE 1149.1 compliant - enables boundary-scan testing and in-system programming without external programmers. |
Pinout & Package
XC2C256-7CPG132I uses a 132-ball fine-pitch CSP (Chip Scale Package) with 0.5 mm pitch and 8×8 array configuration. The package is lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCINT | Core power supply | Must be decoupled with ≥10 µF bulk + 100 nF ceramic capacitor near ball A1/A2. |
| VCCIO | I/O bank power | Each of four I/O banks has independent VCCIO; supports 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V levels per bank. |
| TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO | JTAG test interface | Required for programming and boundary-scan; TCK must be ≤10 MHz for reliable operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | 32 dedicated ground balls distributed across package for low-inductance return paths. |
| IO_Lx_y | Configurable I/O | 100 user-programmable pins supporting Schmitt-trigger, open-drain, or pull-up/pull-down options. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DataGATE™ Power Management | Dynamically disables unused function blocks during operation, cutting dynamic power by up to 50% without logic reconfiguration. |
| Advanced In-System Programming | Supports full device erase, program, and verify via JTAG at system voltage; no external VPP required. |
| Multi-Voltage I/O Banks | Four independent I/O banks allow mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 1.8 V core ↔ 3.3 V peripheral buses). |
| Non-Volatile Configuration Memory | Retains logic design after power cycle; no external configuration PROM needed for boot-up. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD-based glue-logic applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xilinx XC2C384-7FTG256I | 384 macrocells, 256-ball FTBGA package, same 1.8 V core but higher I/O count (192) and larger footprint. | Suitable for designs needing >256 macrocells and more I/Os; not drop-in due to different package and pinout. | Select when expanding logic density beyond XC2C256-7CPG132I capacity while retaining CoolRunner-II architecture and toolchain compatibility. |
| Lattice MachXO2-256HC-6TG144I | 256 LUTs (not macrocells), 144-pin TQFP, 1.2 V core, integrated flash, but lacks DataGATE™ and has different timing model. | Better suited for new designs prioritizing ultra-low static power and small TQFP footprint over legacy JTAG-only programming. | Choose for greenfield projects where migration from CoolRunner-II is acceptable and lower static power is critical. |
Compared with XC2C256-7CPG132I, the XC2C384-7FTG256I offers scalable logic density in the same family, while the MachXO2-256HC-6TG144I provides modern low-power architecture at the cost of toolchain and timing predictability changes.

Manufacturer
AMD acquired Xilinx in 2022 and now oversees the legacy CoolRunner-II CPLD portfolio. Xilinx originally developed these devices for low-power, non-volatile programmable logic in cost-sensitive, high-reliability applications.
The CoolRunner-II family was designed specifically for replacing obsolete PALs, GALs, and standard logic in industrial and telecom systems where reprogrammability, low static power, and JTAG accessibility are essential.
FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XC2C256-7CPG132I?
The XC2C256-7CPG132I guarantees 7 ns propagation delay, enabling reliable operation at up to 100 MHz in synchronous logic paths with appropriate timing closure. Actual maximum frequency depends on design topology, fan-out, and PCB routing; the device does not specify a hard upper clock limit but meets timing for 100 MHz control planes per Xilinx DS094 v2.5.
Does XC2C256-7CPG132I require an external configuration memory?
No. XC2C256-7CPG132I integrates non-volatile flash configuration memory and powers up fully operational without external PROM or configuration devices. Its configuration is retained across power cycles, making it ideal for single-chip boot solutions.
Can XC2C256-7CPG132I operate with mixed I/O voltages on the same device?
Yes. XC2C256-7CPG132I has four independently powered I/O banks (VCCIO), allowing simultaneous 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V signaling on different pin groups. Each bank's voltage must be stable and within ±5% tolerance; mixing voltages requires proper bank partitioning in the design.
Is XC2C256-7CPG132I still in active production?
XC2C256-7CPG132I is currently available through AMD's legacy product support channel and authorized distributors. While no new die revisions are planned, Aetrix Electronics maintains committed inventory and lifecycle coordination to support ongoing production requirements.
What programming tools are compatible with XC2C256-7CPG132I?
XC2C256-7CPG132I is supported by Xilinx ISE Design Suite (v14.7 and earlier) and AMD Vivado HL WebPACK (with legacy device support enabled). Programming is performed via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG using standard cables (e.g., Digilent HS3, Xilinx Platform Cable USB II).
