Product details
Overview
XC4013E-3PQ208I from Xilinx is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 13,000 usable gates, 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP), -3 speed grade (12.5 ns CLB delay), and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C). It implements synchronous digital logic in embedded control, protocol bridging, and real-time signal conditioning systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC4013E-3PQ208I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include CLB count, I/O pin count, speed grade timing, configuration mode support, and industrial-grade thermal performance.
Technical Context
The XC4013E-3PQ208I uses Xilinx's second-generation FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), input/output blocks (IOBs), and interconnect resources. It supports in-system configuration via JTAG boundary-scan and serial PROM-based master/slave modes.
Each CLB contains two 3-input lookup tables (LUTs), flip-flops with synchronous reset/set, and carry logic for arithmetic functions. The device requires external configuration memory and operates from a single 5.0 V ±5% supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gates | 13,000 usable system gates - defines maximum combinational logic density for logic synthesis |
| CLBs | 600 configurable logic blocks - each provides dual LUTs, registers, and carry chain for arithmetic |
| I/O Pins | 160 user-programmable I/O pins - supports TTL/CMOS levels with programmable slew rate and pull-up |
| Speed Grade | -3 (12.5 ns CLB propagation delay) - guarantees worst-case path timing at industrial temperature |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±5% - requires single-rail operation; no internal voltage regulation |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +100°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
XC4013E-3PQ208I is housed in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP) with 0.5 mm lead pitch and 28 × 28 mm body size. Pin assignment follows Xilinx's standard PQ208 footprint for the XC4000E family.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GCK1–GCK4 | Global Clock Inputs | Dedicated low-skew clock routing to all CLBs; supports synchronous design timing closure |
| PROGRAM | Configuration Initiate | Active-low signal that clears configuration memory and resets internal state prior to reload |
| DIN | Serial Configuration Data In | Accepts bitstream from serial PROM during master serial configuration mode |
| TMS, TDI, TDO, TCK | JTAG Boundary-Scan Interface | Enables IEEE 1149.1-compliant testing, programming, and debug without external hardware |
| VCCO | I/O Power Supply | Separate 5 V supply per bank for output driver voltage setting and level translation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) | 600 CLBs with dual 3-LUTs, D-flip-flops, and fast carry chains enable efficient arithmetic and state-machine implementation |
| Programmable I/O | 160 I/Os with individual slew-rate control, weak pull-ups, and TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds reduce signal integrity risk |
| JTAG Boundary-Scan | Fully compliant IEEE 1149.1 interface allows board-level test, in-circuit programming, and debug without dedicated test fixtures |
| Configuration Flexibility | Supports master serial (PROM), slave serial, slave parallel, and JTAG modes - simplifies integration across production and field-update workflows |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based logic implementation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC4010E-3PQ208I | 10,000 gates, 500 CLBs - lower logic density and reduced I/O count (140 pins) | Suitable for less complex control tasks; insufficient for full-motion interpolation or multi-protocol bridging | Select when gate count and I/O requirements are ≤75% of XC4013E-3PQ208I specs and cost sensitivity dominates |
| XC4013E-4PQ208I | Same gate count and package, but -4 speed grade (10 ns CLB delay) - tighter timing margin | Required only for designs exceeding 12.5 ns path delays; higher power consumption under active use | Choose only if timing analysis shows critical paths violating -3 grade limits; otherwise XC4013E-3PQ208I meets spec |
Compared with XC4013E-4PQ208I, the XC4013E-3PQ208I trades 2.5 ns of speed margin for lower static current and broader voltage tolerance; versus XC4010E-3PQ208I, it delivers 3,000 additional gates and 20 more I/Os-enabling consolidation of multiple legacy logic devices into one programmable solution.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the XC4013E-3PQ208I?
The XC4013E-3PQ208I has a -3 speed grade specifying a 12.5 ns CLB propagation delay. Achievable system clock frequencies depend on design topology, but synchronous paths can reliably operate up to 40 MHz in typical industrial implementations. The actual maximum frequency must be verified per design using Xilinx Foundation or Alliance software timing analysis tools for the XC4013E-3PQ208I.
Does the XC4013E-3PQ208I support in-system programming?
Yes, the XC4013E-3PQ208I supports in-system programming via its IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface. This allows configuration bitstream updates, boundary-scan testing, and debugging without removing the device from the PCB. The XC4013E-3PQ208I does not support internal flash-based reprogramming - external PROM or host processor control is required for non-JTAG configuration modes.
What configuration modes are available for the XC4013E-3PQ208I?
The XC4013E-3PQ208I supports four configuration modes: master serial (drives external PROM), slave serial (accepts bitstream from microcontroller), slave parallel (16-bit wide load), and JTAG (boundary-scan programming). Mode selection is controlled by MODE pins (M0–M2); all modes are fully documented in the XC4000E family datasheet for the XC4013E-3PQ208I.
Is the XC4013E-3PQ208I RoHS compliant?
The XC4013E-3PQ208I is manufactured in a leaded PQFP package and predates RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC adoption. It contains lead in solder and package finish and is not RoHS compliant. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consult AMD/Xilinx documentation for later-generation Spartan or Artix families with equivalent logic density and industrial temperature support.
Can the XC4013E-3PQ208I operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No, the XC4013E-3PQ208I requires a nominal 5.0 V ±5% supply for core and I/O operation. Its architecture lacks internal voltage regulation or 3.3 V I/O compatibility. Using a 3.3 V supply will prevent configuration and cause functional failure. Level-shifting circuitry is required when interfacing with 3.3 V systems, and the XC4013E-3PQ208I must remain powered at 5.0 V.
