Product details
Overview
XC4036XL-1HQ304C from Xilinx is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 36,000 usable gates, 304-pin PQFP package, -1 speed grade (10 ns CLB propagation delay), and built-in boundary-scan test logic per IEEE 1149.1. It targets high-density logic replacement in industrial control and telecom interface modules.
For engineers reviewing the XC4036XL-1HQ304C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count scalability, IEEE 1149.1 compliance, PQFP thermal profile, and -1 speed grade timing closure for synchronous logic designs.
Technical Context
The XC4036XL-1HQ304C implements a configurable logic block (CLB) architecture with four-input look-up tables (LUTs), dedicated carry logic, and distributed RAM capability. Each CLB supports both combinational and registered logic functions with programmable set/reset controls.
It integrates hierarchical routing resources including switch matrices, long-line interconnects, and I/O block routing channels. Configuration is performed via serial mode using an external PROM or parallel mode through the JTAG port compliant with IEEE 1149.1.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCV300-4PQ240C | Higher gate count (300K), 240-pin PQFP, -4 speed grade (7.5 ns CLB tPD) | Targets larger state machines and embedded processor cores; requires higher power and PCB layer count | Select when design exceeds 36K gate utilization or requires embedded Block RAM |
| XC4028XL-1HQ240C | Lower gate count (28K), 240-pin PQFP, same -1 speed grade and architecture family | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs with reduced logic depth and fewer I/O requirements | Choose for footprint-constrained boards where 224 I/Os and 36K gates are excessive |
Compared with XC4036XL-1HQ304C, the XCV300-4PQ240C offers greater logic capacity but demands more board area and thermal management, while the XC4028XL-1HQ240C provides identical timing behavior in a smaller package at lower gate density-enabling direct layout reuse only if I/O count and logic volume permit reduction.

FAQ
What is the core supply voltage requirement for XC4036XL-1HQ304C?
The XC4036XL-1HQ304C requires a 3.3 V ±5% supply on the VCCINT pins to power its internal logic array and routing resources. This voltage must be filtered and decoupled per Xilinx Application Note XAPP052 to ensure stable operation under switching loads. The XC4036XL-1HQ304C does not support 5 V core operation.
Does XC4036XL-1HQ304C support in-system programming?
Yes, XC4036XL-1HQ304C supports in-system programming via its IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface, allowing configuration bitstream updates without device removal. The XC4036XL-1HQ304C uses boundary-scan instructions to load configuration data directly into SRAM cells, enabling field firmware revisions and diagnostic reconfiguration.
How many global clock inputs does XC4036XL-1HQ304C provide?
The XC4036XL-1HQ304C provides four dedicated global clock inputs (GCK1–GCK4), each connected to a low-skew routing network that drives all CLBs and I/O blocks. These inputs support asynchronous reset and clock enable functions, and their placement is fixed per the XC4036XL-1HQ304C pinout diagram in DS003.
Can XC4036XL-1HQ304C operate in 5 V tolerant I/O mode?
XC4036XL-1HQ304C supports 5 V tolerant I/O operation only when VCCO is set to 5 V and the input signal meets VIH/VIL thresholds specified in the XC4036XL-1HQ304C DC characteristics table. Its I/O buffers are not inherently 5 V tolerant with 3.3 V VCCO; proper bank voltage configuration is mandatory for safe interfacing.
What configuration memory type is compatible with XC4036XL-1HQ304C?
XC4036XL-1HQ304C is compatible with industry-standard serial configuration PROMs such as Xilinx XC18V02 and Atmel AT17LV010, which deliver the required 1.5 Mbit bitstream at 3.3 V. The XC4036XL-1HQ304C supports master serial mode with automatic CRC checking and configuration status reporting via INIT pin.
