Product details
Overview
XC5204-6PQ100C from AMD is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 4,000 usable gates, 100-pin PQFP package, -6 speed grade (15 ns propagation delay), and 3.3 V I/O compatibility. It implements synchronous digital logic in embedded control and interface bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC5204-6PQ100C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include gate count, I/O voltage level, speed grade timing, PQFP thermal profile, and legacy Xilinx 5200 family toolchain support.
Technical Context
The XC5204-6PQ100C belongs to AMD's legacy Xilinx 5200 series FPGA family, built on 0.5 µm CMOS technology with SRAM-based configuration memory. It supports JTAG boundary-scan testing per IEEE 1149.1 and uses dedicated global clock and reset routing resources.
Configuration is performed via serial or parallel mode using external PROM or microcontroller. Logic blocks consist of configurable function generators (CFGs) and flip-flops, with interconnect routed through segmented, switch-box-based architecture.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gates | 4,000 usable logic gates - defines maximum combinational logic capacity for custom state machines or glue logic replacement |
| Speed Grade | -6 (15 ns tPD) - guarantees worst-case propagation delay across all internal paths at 3.3 V supply |
| I/O Voltage | 3.3 V tolerant - enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and peripheral ICs without level shifters |
| Package | PQFP-100 (20 × 20 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) - provides 84 user I/O pins with standard surface-mount assembly compatibility |
| Configuration | SRAM-based, external PROM load - requires nonvolatile storage for power-up initialization; volatile after power cycle |
| Technology | 0.5 µm CMOS - determines static power consumption and thermal dissipation characteristics |
Pinout & Package
PQFP-100 package with 20 × 20 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and gull-wing leads. Thermal pad not present. JEDEC MO-118 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Multiple dedicated pins provide low-impedance return path for core and I/O circuits |
| VCC | Core supply | 5 V supply for internal logic; decoupling required within 1 cm of each VCC pin |
| VCCO | I/O supply | 3.3 V supply for output drivers and input receivers; separate from core VCC |
| CLK | Global clock input | Dedicated low-skew input driving internal clock network to all CLBs |
| PROGRAM* | Configuration reset | Active-low signal that clears SRAM configuration and initiates reconfiguration sequence |
| DIN | Serial config data | Primary serial input for bitstream loading during master serial mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable logic blocks (CLBs) | Each CLB contains two 3-input function generators and one flip-flop - supports registered and combinatorial logic per block |
| Global routing resources | Dedicated clock, reset, and set lines - minimize skew and ensure synchronous operation across large designs |
| JTAG boundary-scan | IEEE 1149.1 compliance - enables board-level testability and in-system programming without dedicated test fixtures |
| I/O bank grouping | Four independent I/O banks - allow mixed-voltage operation (e.g., 3.3 V and 5 V peripherals on same device) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3064XL-10VQG44C | 64 macrocells, CPLD architecture, 3.3 V only, no JTAG boundary-scan | Limited to small-state-machine logic; lacks global clock routing and I/O bank flexibility | Choose for simpler, lower-power control logic where deterministic timing analysis is less critical |
| XC9572XL-10TQ100C | 72 macrocells, flash-based nonvolatile configuration, 3.3 V I/O, JTAG support | No SRAM volatility; eliminates external PROM but offers lower gate density and fixed logic depth | Prefer when power-cycle reconfiguration must be avoided and design fits within 72 macrocell limit |
Compared with XC5204-6PQ100C, the XCR3064XL-10VQG44C trades configurability and routing flexibility for lower static power, while the XC9572XL-10TQ100C replaces volatile configuration with flash persistence at the cost of reduced logic capacity and fixed architecture granularity.

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by the XC5204-6PQ100C?
The XC5204-6PQ100C supports both serial and parallel configuration modes using external PROM or microcontroller. Serial mode uses DIN and CLK pins; parallel mode uses 8-bit data bus and control signals. Configuration is SRAM-based, requiring reload on power-up. The XC5204-6PQ100C does not support in-system programming without external controller intervention.
Does the XC5204-6PQ100C support 5 V-tolerant I/O?
No, the XC5204-6PQ100C has 3.3 V I/O tolerance only, with VCCO = 3.3 V. Its inputs are not 5 V-tolerant, and applying 5 V signals risks damage. External level-shifting circuitry is required when interfacing with 5 V buses. The XC5204-6PQ100C core operates at 5 V (VCC), but I/O drivers and receivers are strictly 3.3 V referenced.
What tools are required to develop for the XC5204-6PQ100C?
Xilinx Foundation Series or Alliance Series software (v2.x–v3.x) is required for synthesis, place-and-route, and bitstream generation for the XC5204-6PQ100C. These legacy tools support the XC5200 architecture and generate JEDEC-compatible configuration files. Modern Vivado or Vitis tools do not support the XC5204-6PQ100C. The XC5204-6PQ100C bitstream must be verified using Xilinx BitGen and HTRI utilities.
Is JTAG boundary-scan available on the XC5204-6PQ100C?
Yes, the XC5204-6PQ100C implements full IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan functionality, including TAP controller, instruction register, and boundary-scan cell chain. This enables board-level interconnect testing and in-system configuration. JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) are dedicated and cannot be used as general-purpose I/O. The XC5204-6PQ100C supports EXTEST and SAMPLE/PRELOAD instructions.
What is the thermal profile of the XC5204-6PQ100C in continuous operation?
The XC5204-6PQ100C has a maximum junction temperature of 105 °C and operates over 0–70 °C ambient. Its PQFP-100 package exhibits 45 °C/W θJA under standard JEDEC 2S2P board conditions. Derating is required above 70 °C ambient; thermal vias and copper pour improve heat dissipation. The XC5204-6PQ100C does not include thermal shutdown circuitry and relies on external thermal management.
