Product details
Overview
XC4036XL-3HQ160C from Xilinx is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 36,000 usable gates, 160-pin HQFP package, -3 speed grade (10 ns CLB propagation delay), and built-in boundary-scan test logic per IEEE 1149.1. It targets high-reliability embedded control and digital signal preprocessing in industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the XC4036XL-3HQ160C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include CLB count, I/O voltage compatibility (3.3 V LVTTL), configuration mode support (Master Serial, Slave Parallel), and JTAG compliance for in-system programming and verification.
Technical Context
The XC4036XL-3HQ160C implements a configurable logic block (CLB) architecture with four-input look-up tables (LUTs), dedicated carry logic, and synchronous set/reset. It supports three configuration modes: Master Serial (via PROM), Slave Parallel (host CPU-driven), and JTAG Boundary-Scan (IEEE 1149.1).
It operates at 3.3 V core and I/O supply, features 133 user I/O pins, and includes internal global routing resources with low-skew clock distribution networks. Configuration bitstream is loaded through dedicated CCLK, DIN, PROG_B, and INIT_B pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gates | 36,000 usable system gates - determines maximum combinational logic density for state machines or datapath implementation |
| Speed Grade | -3 (10 ns CLB tPD) - defines worst-case propagation delay through a single CLB for timing closure at ~100 MHz system clock |
| I/O Pins | 133 user-configurable I/Os - supports wide parallel bus interfaces or multi-channel sensor aggregation |
| Package | HQFP-160 (28 × 28 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - surface-mount quad flat package with thermal pad, suitable for convection-cooled industrial PCBs |
| VCCIO | 3.3 V ± 0.3 V - compatible with LVTTL and LVCMOS33 I/O standards, no level-shifting required for 3.3 V peripherals |
| Configuration Mode | Master Serial, Slave Parallel, JTAG - enables flexible programming: standalone boot from PROM, host-controlled reconfiguration, or debug/test via standard boundary-scan interface |
Pinout & Package
HQFP-160 package: 160-lead plastic quad flat pack with exposed thermal pad, 28 mm × 28 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch, and lead finish matte tin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CCLK | Configuration Clock Input | Drives internal configuration shift register; must be stable during bitstream load; supports up to 25 MHz clock rate |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Accepts configuration bitstream in Master Serial mode; tied to PROM output or microcontroller GPIO |
| PROG_B | Program Initiate | Active-low asynchronous reset that clears configuration memory and initiates reload sequence |
| INIT_B | Initialization Status | Open-drain output indicating configuration status: low during initialization, high when complete and valid |
| TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO | JTAG Test Access Port | IEEE 1149.1-compliant boundary-scan interface for programming, debugging, and interconnect testing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the XC4036XL-3HQ160C?
The XC4036XL-3HQ160C has a -3 speed grade specifying 10 ns CLB propagation delay, enabling reliable operation up to approximately 100 MHz for fully registered paths. Actual system frequency depends on design topology, routing congestion, and I/O timing constraints. The XC4036XL-3HQ160C datasheet provides detailed timing models for critical paths including carry chains and clock-to-out delays.
Does the XC4036XL-3HQ160C support in-system programming?
Yes, the XC4036XL-3HQ160C supports in-system programming via its IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO pins). This allows configuration bitstream loading, readback, and boundary-scan testing without removing the device from the PCB. The XC4036XL-3HQ160C also supports Master Serial mode using external PROMs for autonomous power-on configuration.
What configuration modes are available for the XC4036XL-3HQ160C?
The XC4036XL-3HQ160C supports three configuration modes: Master Serial (using external serial PROM), Slave Parallel (driven by host processor), and JTAG Boundary-Scan (IEEE 1149.1). Each mode uses distinct pin assignments and control sequences. The XC4036XL-3HQ160C configuration guide documents setup requirements, timing diagrams, and mode-select pin states for all three methods.
Is the XC4036XL-3HQ160C RoHS compliant?
The XC4036XL-3HQ160C is manufactured with lead-free terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Xilinx documentation confirms exemption 7a (lead in high-melting-temperature type solders) does not apply, as the device uses matte tin plating. The XC4036XL-3HQ160C packaging and material declarations are available in Xilinx's official compliance portal.
Can the XC4036XL-3HQ160C operate with mixed I/O voltages on the same device?
Yes, the XC4036XL-3HQ160C supports bank-level I/O voltage separation: each I/O bank can be powered independently at 3.3 V, enabling interoperability with multiple peripheral voltage standards. However, all banks on the XC4036XL-3HQ160C must use the same VCCIO (3.3 V); it does not support true mixed-voltage operation like later Virtex families. Refer to the XC4036XL-3HQ160C pinout diagram for bank grouping.
