AMD XC4010D-5PQ160C

Overview

XC4010D-5PQ160C from Xilinx is a third-generation Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 10,000 usable gates, 400 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), and 1,120 flip-flops. It features a 20×20 CLB matrix, 160 I/O pins in a 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP), and supports system clock rates up to 50 MHz. It is used in high-speed digital logic implementation, such as protocol bridging and real-time control in industrial embedded systems.

For engineers reviewing the XC4010D-5PQ160C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count, CLB count, I/O count, maximum toggle frequency, RAM availability (none for XC4010D), and PQFP package compatibility with legacy PCB footprints.

Technical Context

The XC4010D-5PQ160C implements a symmetric CLB architecture with two independent 4-input function generators (F' and G') plus a third 3-input H' generator combining F', G', and H1 - enabling single-block 5–9 variable logic functions. Each CLB contains two edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with programmable asynchronous set/reset, dual clock enable, and independent data routing from combinatorial or direct inputs.

Routing resources include eight global low-skew clock or signal networks, double-length and longline interconnects for minimal skew across the array, and four edge-mounted wide decoders (up to 60 inputs per side). Unlike XC4010, the XC4010D variant excludes on-chip RAM functionality - confirmed by footnote "*XC4010D and XC4013D have no RAM" - and uses sub-micron CMOS for 5 ns logic delay and 12 mA output sink capability.

Key Specifications

FAQ

What is the maximum guaranteed system clock frequency for XC4010D-5PQ160C?

The XC4010D-5PQ160C supports a maximum guaranteed synchronous system clock frequency of 50 MHz under worst-case operating conditions. This rating is derived from architectural improvements including faster CLB propagation (5.5 ns), enhanced carry logic, and abundant global routing resources. The -5 speed grade indicates 5 ns CLB delay, consistent with this 50 MHz timing target. Actual achievable clock rates depend on design topology and placement.

Does XC4010D-5PQ160C include on-chip RAM?

No, XC4010D-5PQ160C does not include on-chip RAM. The datasheet explicitly states "*XC4010D and XC4013D have no RAM". While standard XC4010 devices provide 12,800 bits of distributed RAM via CLB function generators, the 'D' suffix denotes the RAM-less variant. All 400 CLBs retain full logic and flip-flop functionality, but memory configuration modes are disabled in XC4010D-5PQ160C.

What package type and pin count does XC4010D-5PQ160C use?

XC4010D-5PQ160C uses a 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP) with 40 pins per side and 0.65 mm pitch, conforming to JEDEC MO-026AC. This package provides 160 user I/O pins, four global clock inputs, multiple VCCO/VCCINT/GND rails, and configuration control pins (INIT, PROGRAM, DONE). It is pin-compatible with other XC4000-family 160-pin PQFP variants like XC4010-5PQ160C.

How many Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) are in XC4010D-5PQ160C?

XC4010D-5PQ160C contains 400 Configurable Logic Blocks arranged in a 20×20 matrix. Each CLB includes two 4-input function generators (F' and G'), one 3-input function generator (H'), two edge-triggered D-type flip-flops, dedicated fast-carry logic, and flexible input/output routing. This CLB count directly supports the device's 10,000-gate logic density rating and enables complex synchronous logic implementation.

Is XC4010D-5PQ160C compatible with IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan testing?

Yes, XC4010D-5PQ160C includes full IEEE 1149.1-compatible boundary-scan logic integrated into its IOBs. This allows standardized board-level and system-level testing, including interconnect verification, pin fault detection, and in-system programming. Boundary-scan functionality is enabled during configuration and operates independently of user logic, making it suitable for production test and field diagnostics of systems using XC4010D-5PQ160C.
