Product details
Overview
XC4013E-2BG225C from Xilinx is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 13,000 usable gates, 225-pin Ball Grid Array (BGA) package, -2 speed grade, and commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). It implements synchronous digital logic in embedded control, protocol bridging, and interface adaptation applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC4013E-2BG225C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include gate count, I/O count (196 user I/Os), speed grade (-2), BGA thermal and routing constraints, and legacy 5V CMOS compatibility.
Technical Context
The XC4013E-2BG225C belongs to the Xilinx XC4000E FPGA family, built on a 0.5 µm CMOS process. It features configurable logic blocks (CLBs), input/output blocks (IOBs), and programmable interconnect resources supporting synchronous design flows with dedicated carry and clock routing.
It supports in-system configuration via serial or parallel PROMs and includes boundary-scan test capability per IEEE 1149.1. The device operates at 5V supply and is compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic levels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gates | 13,000 usable system gates - determines maximum combinational logic density for custom digital functions |
| User I/Os | 196 - defines number of external signal connections available for interface, control, or data bus routing |
| Package | 225-pin BGA (23×23 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) - specifies board layout footprint, thermal dissipation, and high-density routing requirements |
| Speed Grade | -2 - indicates worst-case propagation delay (e.g., CLB-to-CLB delay ≤ 2.5 ns), critical for timing-closure in synchronous designs |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ± 5% - requires standard 5V power rail; not compatible with 3.3V or mixed-voltage systems without level translation |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - limits deployment to commercial environments; excludes industrial or extended temperature use |
Pinout & Package
XC4013E-2BG225C uses a 225-pin plastic ball grid array (PBGA) package with 23×23 array, 1.27 mm pitch, and thermal pad exposed on underside. Pinout follows Xilinx XC4000E family standard: balls labeled A1–U23, with dedicated power (VCC, GND), I/O (IO_Lxx, IO_Rxx, IO_Txx, IO_Bxx), and configuration (INIT, PROGRAM, DONE, CCLK, DIN, PGM) functions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Main core supply | 5V power input to internal logic; requires local decoupling near package corner balls |
| GND | Ground reference | Multiple dedicated ground balls distributed across perimeter and center for low-inductance return paths |
| DIN | Serial configuration data input | Accepts bitstream during master serial mode; driven by external PROM or processor |
| CCLK | Configuration clock | Drives internal shift register during configuration; frequency ≤ 25 MHz |
| DONE | Configuration status output | Open-drain signal pulled high when bitstream loading completes successfully |
| PROGRAM | Configuration reset input | Active-low signal that clears configuration memory and restarts loading sequence |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) | Each CLB contains two 3-input LUTs and flip-flops, enabling efficient implementation of registered logic and state machines |
| Input/Output Blocks (IOBs) | Support TTL/CMOS 5V input thresholds and drive strengths; configurable as input, output, or bidirectional with slew-rate control |
| Boundary-Scan Test (IEEE 1149.1) | Enables PCB-level interconnect testing without physical probe access; reduces manufacturing test cost and time |
| Master Serial Configuration | Allows single-PROM bootloading using CCLK/DIN interface; simplifies system initialization and field updates |
| Dedicated Carry Chain | Optimizes arithmetic functions (e.g., counters, adders) with predictable, low-delay propagation across CLBs |
Applications
| Industrial Control Interface | Legacy System Protocol Bridge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based logic replacement applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC4010E-2PQ208C | 10,000 gates, 208-pin PQFP package, same -2 speed grade and 5V supply | Lower I/O count (160) and no BGA thermal performance; limited to lower-density designs with less routing complexity | Choose when board space allows PQFP and gate count requirement is ≤10K |
| XC4013E-3BG225C | Same 13K-gate density and 225-pin BGA, but -3 speed grade (slower, higher timing margin) | Relaxed timing closure requirements; suitable for designs with longer clock periods or less critical path depth | Choose when design meets timing at -3 grade to improve yield or reduce power consumption |
Compared with XC4013E-2BG225C, the XC4010E-2PQ208C trades gate count and package type for ease of prototyping and rework, while the XC4013E-3BG225C retains identical form factor and logic capacity but offers relaxed timing margins-both require separate timing analysis and may impact system-level clock frequency targets.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XC4013E-2BG225C?
The XC4013E-2BG225C has a -2 speed grade specifying worst-case CLB-to-CLB delay of 2.5 ns, enabling system clock frequencies up to approximately 125 MHz in fully pipelined, carry-chain-optimized designs. Actual achievable frequency depends on routing congestion, logic depth, and I/O timing constraints-not guaranteed across all configurations. XC4013E-2BG225C timing must be verified per design using Xilinx Foundation or Alliance software tools.
Does XC4013E-2BG225C support in-system programming (ISP)?
No, XC4013E-2BG225C does not support true in-system programming. It requires external configuration PROM or processor-driven serial/parallel loading at power-up. Reprogramming necessitates a full reconfiguration cycle via DIN/CCLK or parallel mode-no partial reconfiguration or runtime logic update capability exists. XC4013E-2BG225C configuration is volatile and lost on power removal.
Can XC4013E-2BG225C operate at 3.3V?
No, XC4013E-2BG225C is specified only for 5.0 V ± 5% operation. Its I/O structure, internal voltage references, and CLB threshold voltages are designed for 5V TTL/CMOS compatibility. Applying 3.3V supply risks functional failure, timing violation, or damage. Level-shifting circuitry is required for interfacing with 3.3V systems. XC4013E-2BG225C must be powered from a regulated 5V rail.
What configuration modes does XC4013E-2BG225C support?
XC4013E-2BG225C supports Master Serial, Slave Serial, Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, and JTAG Boundary-Scan configuration modes. Master Serial (using external PROM) is most common for standalone operation. JTAG is used for programming and testing. All modes require proper INIT, PROGRAM, and DONE signal sequencing. XC4013E-2BG225C does not support slave parallel mode without external control logic.
Is XC4013E-2BG225C still in production?
No, XC4013E-2BG225C is obsolete and no longer manufactured by AMD/Xilinx. Aetrix Electronics supplies remaining authorized inventory and provides lifecycle management support-including cross-reference guidance, last-time-buy planning, and migration path evaluation-to sustain legacy designs dependent on XC4013E-2BG225C.
