AMD XC4005E-3PQ160I

Overview

XC4005E-3PQ160I from Xilinx is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 5,000 usable gates, 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP), -3 speed grade (12.5 ns CLB propagation delay), and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C). It implements synchronous digital logic in embedded control, protocol bridging, and glue-logic replacement applications.

For engineers reviewing the XC4005E-3PQ160I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count, I/O count (118 user I/Os), speed grade timing, PQFP thermal profile, and Spartan-compatible configuration interface support.

Technical Context

The XC4005E-3PQ160I belongs to the Xilinx XC4000E FPGA family, built on 0.5 µm CMOS technology. It contains 192 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), each with two 3-input LUTs and flip-flops, and supports SRAM-based configuration via JTAG or master serial mode.

It features dedicated carry logic for high-speed arithmetic, global clock routing with low skew, and configurable I/O standards including LVTTL and CMOS. Configuration bitstream is loaded externally and retained only while powered.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

XC4005E-3PQ160I is housed in a 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP) with 40 pins per side, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and 28 mm × 28 mm body size. Thermal pad is not present; power dissipation relies on PCB copper area and airflow.

Manufacturer

Xilinx, now part of AMD, pioneered commercial FPGA technology and developed programmable logic architectures for high-reliability embedded and communications systems.

The XC4000E family was designed for cost-sensitive, medium-complexity logic replacement and control applications where reconfigurability, predictable timing, and industrial temperature operation were critical.

FAQ

What is the configuration method supported by XC4005E-3PQ160I?

The XC4005E-3PQ160I supports master serial configuration via the DIN pin using an external PROM, as well as JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan programming. It does not support slave parallel or selectMAP modes. Configuration bitstream is loaded on power-up or after PROGRAM assertion, and the device operates immediately upon completion. XC4005E-3PQ160I requires external nonvolatile storage for persistent configuration.

Does XC4005E-3PQ160I support hot-swapping or live insertion?

No, XC4005E-3PQ160I does not support hot-swapping. Its I/O pins are not designed with hot-swap protection circuitry, and powering the device while VCCINT or VCCO is ramping risks configuration corruption or latch-up. The XC4005E-3PQ160I must be powered in strict sequence: VCCINT before VCCO, with controlled ramp rates per Xilinx DS005 specification. Always de-energize the board before insertion or removal.

What is the maximum operating frequency for synchronous logic in XC4005E-3PQ160I?

The XC4005E-3PQ160I -3 speed grade guarantees a CLB propagation delay (t_PD) of 12.5 ns, supporting register-to-register paths up to approximately 60 MHz. Actual system frequency depends on logic depth, routing congestion, and I/O timing constraints. Static timing analysis using Xilinx Foundation or Alliance tools is required to verify timing closure for a given design targeting XC4005E-3PQ160I.

Can XC4005E-3PQ160I interface directly with 3.3 V logic devices?

XC4005E-3PQ160I I/O banks operate at 5.0 V and are not 3.3 V tolerant. Direct connection to 3.3 V devices risks damaging the XC4005E-3PQ160I outputs or violating input thresholds. Level-shifting buffers or resistive dividers are required. The XC4005E-3PQ160I does not support mixed-voltage I/O; all VCCO pins must be tied to 5.0 V.

Is XC4005E-3PQ160I still in active production by AMD/Xilinx?

XC4005E-3PQ160I is discontinued by AMD/Xilinx and no longer in active production. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains verified legacy inventory with full traceability and extended lifecycle support. Datasheets, application notes, and configuration tools remain publicly available via the AMD Xilinx Archive site for design reuse and obsolescence mitigation of XC4005E-3PQ160I.
