AMD XC4005XL-1PQ160C

Overview

XC4005XL-1PQ160C from Xilinx is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 5,000 usable gates, 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP), -1 speed grade (10 ns CLB propagation delay), and commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). It implements synchronous digital logic in embedded control, protocol bridging, and glue-logic replacement applications.

For engineers reviewing the XC4005XL-1PQ160C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count, I/O count (118 user I/Os), speed grade timing compliance, PQ160 package thermal and routing constraints, and legacy 5V CMOS interface compatibility.

Technical Context

The XC4005XL-1PQ160C belongs to the Xilinx XC4000XL family, built on a 0.5 µm CMOS process with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), input/output blocks (IOBs), and interconnect resources. It supports SRAM-based configuration via JTAG or serial PROM and operates at 5V supply voltage.

It features dedicated carry logic for high-speed arithmetic, global clock routing networks, and three-state bus-hold circuitry on all I/O pins. Configuration bitstream integrity is maintained through CRC checking during startup.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XC4005XL-1PQ160C?

The XC4005XL-1PQ160C has a -1 speed grade specifying 10 ns CLB propagation delay, enabling reliable operation up to 66 MHz for register-to-register paths in typical designs. Actual system frequency depends on routing congestion, logic depth, and I/O timing closure - verified per design using Xilinx Foundation or Alliance software timing analysis.

Does XC4005XL-1PQ160C support in-system programming (ISP)?

Yes, XC4005XL-1PQ160C supports in-system programming via its IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface (TMS, TDI, TDO, TCK pins). This allows configuration bitstream updates without removing the device from the PCB, provided the board implements proper JTAG chain termination and voltage-level compatibility.

Can XC4005XL-1PQ160C operate at 3.3V?

No, XC4005XL-1PQ160C requires a nominal 5.0 V ± 5% supply voltage and is not 3.3V-tolerant. Applying 3.3V will result in improper configuration, logic malfunction, or failure to initialize. Level-shifting circuitry is required when interfacing with 3.3V systems.

Is XC4005XL-1PQ160C RoHS compliant?

XC4005XL-1PQ160C was manufactured prior to full RoHS enforcement and contains leaded solder in its PQFP package. It is exempt under RoHS Category 7 (medical devices) and Category 8 (monitoring and control instruments) where applicable - verify exemption status against current EU Commission guidelines and end-equipment classification.

What configuration memory is required for XC4005XL-1PQ160C?

XC4005XL-1PQ160C requires external configuration memory, typically a serial PROM such as Xilinx XC18V02 or compatible 2-Mbit SPI EEPROM. The DIN pin accepts the bitstream serially upon power-up or PROGRAM assertion, and configuration occurs automatically without host processor intervention.
