Product details
Overview
XC4036XL-3HQ160I from Xilinx is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 36,000 usable gates, 160-pin HQFP package, -3 speed grade (12.5 ns CLB delay), and I-grade industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C); used in high-reliability embedded control and interface bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC4036XL-3HQ160I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include logic density, I/O count (124 user I/Os), speed grade timing compliance, industrial temperature operation, and legacy 5V-tolerant I/O support.
Technical Context
The XC4036XL-3HQ160I implements a configurable logic block (CLB) architecture with dedicated carry logic for arithmetic functions and distributed RAM capability per CLB. It supports synchronous and asynchronous reset, three-state bus interfacing, and global clock routing with low skew.
Configuration is performed via serial mode using an external PROM or parallel mode through the CPU interface. The device uses SRAM-based configuration memory, requiring external reconfiguration on power-up and supporting in-system reprogrammability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the XC4036XL-3HQ160I?
The XC4036XL-3HQ160I has a -3 speed grade specifying a 12.5 ns CLB propagation delay, enabling reliable operation up to approximately 40 MHz for register-to-register paths in typical designs. Actual system frequency depends on logic depth, routing congestion, and I/O timing constraints - verified using Xilinx Foundation or Alliance software timing analysis tools for the XC4036XL-3HQ160I.
Does the XC4036XL-3HQ160I support in-system programming?
Yes, the XC4036XL-3HQ160I supports in-system programming via its JTAG port or parallel slave mode using a microprocessor. Its SRAM-based configuration allows full reprogramming without removing the device from the PCB. Configuration data is loaded from external PROM or processor memory, and the XC4036XL-3HQ160I retains functionality only while powered - requiring reload on each power cycle.
Is the XC4036XL-3HQ160I pin-compatible with other XC4000XL family members in HQ160 package?
Yes, all XC4000XL devices in the HQ160 package - including XC4013XL, XC4020XL, XC4028XL, and XC4036XL - share identical pinouts and I/O banking structure. This allows direct substitution within the same footprint when logic resource requirements change, provided speed grade and temperature grade match system requirements for the XC4036XL-3HQ160I.
What voltage levels are supported on the I/O pins of the XC4036XL-3HQ160I?
The XC4036XL-3HQ160I features 5V-tolerant I/Os compatible with LVTTL, TTL, and CMOS logic families. Inputs accept 0–5.5 V, and outputs drive to full 5V levels. No external level shifters are needed when interfacing with legacy 5V peripherals, simplifying integration in mixed-voltage systems using the XC4036XL-3HQ160I.
How is configuration data loaded into the XC4036XL-3HQ160I after power-up?
Configuration data for the XC4036XL-3HQ160I is loaded automatically on power-up via master serial mode using an external XC18V00-series PROM, or manually via parallel slave mode controlled by a host processor. The PROGRAM pin initiates configuration reset and reload; successful loading is confirmed by the INIT pin going high, indicating valid bitstream acceptance by the XC4036XL-3HQ160I.
