Product details
Overview
XC4013E-1HQ208C from Xilinx is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 13,000 usable gates, 208-pin PQFP package, -1 speed grade (10 ns CLB propagation delay), and embedded SRAM-based configuration memory. It serves as a reconfigurable logic fabric for digital system prototyping and low-volume production in industrial control and communications interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the XC4013E-1HQ208C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count, I/O count (160 user I/Os), speed grade (-1), configuration mode (master serial), and compatibility with Xilinx Foundation software tools.
Technical Context
The XC4013E-1HQ208C implements a hierarchical architecture with Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), Input/Output Blocks (IOBs), and interconnect resources. It supports synchronous design with global clock routing and three dedicated clock pins.
Configuration is performed via master serial mode using an external PROM or microprocessor. The device uses SRAM-based configuration cells, requiring external configuration on power-up.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA logic implementation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC4010E-1HQ208C | 10,000 usable gates; identical package, speed grade, and architecture | Lower gate count limits complexity of state machines and datapath width | Select when design fits within 10K gates to reduce cost and power |
| XC4013-1HQ208C | Same gate count but non-E series: lacks enhanced I/O features and boundary-scan support | Not IEEE 1149.1 compliant; unsuitable for JTAG-based production test or ISP | Choose only for legacy designs where boundary-scan is unused and cost is primary driver |
Compared with XC4013E-1HQ208C, the XC4010E-1HQ208C offers gate-count scalability downward while retaining full toolchain and pin compatibility, whereas the XC4013-1HQ208C sacrifices testability and I/O flexibility for marginal cost reduction in non-JTAG environments.

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by the XC4013E-1HQ208C?
The XC4013E-1HQ208C supports master serial configuration only. It requires an external 8-bit PROM or microprocessor to deliver the configuration bitstream via the DIN pin. No slave parallel or JTAG configuration is implemented in this device variant.
Does the XC4013E-1HQ208C support hot-swapping or live insertion?
No, the XC4013E-1HQ208C does not support hot-swapping. Its 5.0 V supply and lack of I/O bank isolation or power sequencing controls require full power-down before insertion or removal. Operating outside specified voltage and ramp-rate conditions may damage the device.
Can the XC4013E-1HQ208C be reconfigured while the system is running?
Yes, the XC4013E-1HQ208C supports in-system reconfiguration via its PROGRAM pin. Asserting PROGRAM low reloads the configuration memory from the external PROM, enabling functional updates without cycling power - provided the host system manages timing and signal integrity during the process.
What software tools are required to develop for the XC4013E-1HQ208C?
Xilinx Foundation Series software (v2.x–v3.x) or Alliance Series tools (v2.1+) are required to synthesize, place-and-route, and generate bitstreams for the XC4013E-1HQ208C. These tools provide architecture-specific libraries and timing analysis calibrated for the XC4000E family.
Is the XC4013E-1HQ208C RoHS compliant?
The XC4013E-1HQ208C was manufactured prior to RoHS Directive enforcement and contains leaded solder in its 208-pin PQFP package. It is not RoHS compliant; designers requiring compliance must select post-2006 Xilinx families such as Spartan-3 or later.
