Product details
Overview
XC4006E-1PQ160C from Xilinx is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 6,000 usable gates, 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP), 5V supply voltage, and -1 speed grade (10 ns propagation delay). It serves as a reconfigurable logic fabric for digital control, interface bridging, and custom state-machine implementation in industrial PLCs and legacy system upgrades.
For engineers reviewing the XC4006E-1PQ160C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include gate count scalability, 5V TTL-compatible I/O, PQFP thermal and routing constraints, and legacy Xilinx 4000E family toolchain support.
Technical Context
The XC4006E-1PQ160C implements configurable logic blocks (CLBs) with dual 3-input LUTs and flip-flops per CLB, distributed RAM capability up to 128 bits per CLB, and dedicated carry logic for high-speed arithmetic. Its I/O cells support TTL/CMOS 5V signaling with programmable slew rate and output drive strength.
Configuration is performed via serial mode using an external PROM or parallel mode through the CPU interface. The device lacks on-chip configuration memory and requires external bitstream loading at power-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gates | 6,000 usable system gates - defines maximum combinational logic density for logic synthesis mapping |
| Package | 160-pin PQFP (28 × 28 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) - supports standard surface-mount assembly and manual rework |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ± 5% - requires single-rail 5V regulator; not compatible with 3.3V or mixed-voltage I/O domains |
| Speed Grade | -1 (10 ns CLB propagation delay) - sets worst-case timing budget for synchronous logic paths |
| I/O Pins | 133 user I/O pins - provides parallel bus interfacing, address/data multiplexing, or multi-channel control signal routing |
| Configuration Mode | Serial or parallel master/slave - determines boot architecture and external PROM or microcontroller dependency |
Pinout & Package
XC4006E-1PQ160C uses 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 performance supports ≤70°C ambient operation with standard PCB copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCO (multiple) | I/O power supply | Each bank has dedicated VCCO pins; must be decoupled locally to maintain 5V noise margin |
| VCCINT | Core logic supply | Supplies internal CLBs and interconnect; requires low-noise 5V regulation and bulk + ceramic decoupling |
| GND (multiple) | Reference ground | Multiple ground pins per side reduce ground bounce; must connect to solid ground plane |
| PROGRAM | Configuration reset | Active-low signal that clears configuration memory and initiates reload sequence |
| DIN | Serial data input | Accepts configuration bitstream in master serial mode; driven by external PROM or microcontroller |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) | Each CLB contains two 3-input LUTs + flip-flop, enabling efficient small-state machine and glue-logic implementation |
| Distributed RAM | Up to 128 bits per CLB used as fast asynchronous lookup tables or small FIFO buffers without block RAM overhead |
| Carry Chain Logic | Fast ripple-carry path across CLBs supports adders, counters, and comparators with predictable timing |
| I/O Slew Rate Control | Programmable slow/fast edge rates reduce EMI and crosstalk on dense PCB traces |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for XC4006E-1PQ160C?
The XC4006E-1PQ160C is rated for commercial temperature range operation (0°C to +70°C ambient). Its PQFP package and 5V core logic require adequate PCB copper area and airflow to maintain junction temperature below 110°C under full utilization. Thermal derating applies above 50°C ambient.
Does XC4006E-1PQ160C support in-system programming (ISP)?
No, the XC4006E-1PQ160C does not support in-system programming. Configuration is loaded externally at power-up via serial PROM or parallel CPU interface. Reprogramming requires cycling power or asserting the PROGRAM pin, and no JTAG boundary-scan or ISP circuitry is integrated into the XC4006E-1PQ160C die.
What software tools are required to develop for XC4006E-1PQ160C?
Xilinx Foundation Series or Alliance Series software (v2.x–v3.x) is required to synthesize, place-and-route, and generate bitstreams for XC4006E-1PQ160C. These legacy tools support the 4000E architecture and produce configuration files compatible with standard PROM programmers and microcontroller loaders targeting the XC4006E-1PQ160C.
Is XC4006E-1PQ160C RoHS compliant?
The XC4006E-1PQ160C was manufactured prior to RoHS Directive enforcement and uses leaded solder in its PQFP package. It is not RoHS compliant. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consult AMD/Xilinx documentation for pin-compatible replacements or migration paths within newer FPGA families.
Can XC4006E-1PQ160C operate with 3.3V I/O levels?
No, XC4006E-1PQ160C is strictly a 5V device. Its I/O cells are designed for TTL/CMOS 5V logic thresholds and lack 3.3V tolerance. Interfacing with 3.3V systems requires level-shifting circuitry; direct connection risks damage or unreliable operation due to overvoltage on inputs or excessive current on outputs.
