Product details
Overview
XC5204-6PQ160C from AMD is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 10,000 system gates, 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP), -6 speed grade (15 ns CLB propagation delay), and commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). It implements synchronous logic in digital signal processing and industrial control systems using configurable logic blocks and I/O cells.
For engineers reviewing the XC5204-6PQ160C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count, I/O count (118 user I/Os), speed grade timing, PQFP thermal profile, and legacy 5 V CMOS interface compatibility.
Technical Context
The XC5204-6PQ160C belongs to the Xilinx XC5200 family (acquired by AMD/Xilinx), implementing SRAM-based configuration memory, dedicated carry logic for arithmetic, and programmable I/O with TTL/CMOS-compatible voltage thresholds. It supports in-system reconfiguration via serial mode and uses four dedicated global clock lines.
Configuration is performed through a 4-bit parallel mode or 1-bit serial mode using an external PROM or microcontroller. The device includes 192 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), each with two 3-input LUTs and flip-flops, and supports synchronous set/reset and clock enable per CLB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Gates | 10,000 system gates - defines maximum combinational logic capacity for medium-complexity control logic |
| Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) | 192 CLBs - each provides dual 3-input LUTs + flip-flop, enabling pipelined synchronous design |
| User I/O Pins | 118 - supports high-density board interconnect with programmable drive strength and slew rate |
| Speed Grade | -6 (15 ns CLB tPD) - guarantees maximum propagation delay for critical path timing closure at 66 MHz |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ± 5% - requires standard 5 V rail; not compatible with 3.3 V or mixed-voltage I/O domains |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade applications only, not extended or industrial range |
Pinout & Package
XC5204-6PQ160C is housed in a 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP) with 28 × 28 mm body size, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and gull-wing leads. Thermal performance supports continuous operation at ≤70°C ambient with standard PCB copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| VCC | Core supply | Pins 8, 9, 152, 153 deliver 5 V to internal logic; decoupling capacitors required within 10 mm |
| IOn | Programmable I/O | 118 bidirectional pins (e.g., Pins 3–7, 10–14, etc.) support TTL/CMOS levels with configurable pull-up and slew rate |
| CLK1–4 | Global clock input | Pins 20, 40, 120, 140 distribute low-skew clock signals to all CLBs and I/O registers |
| INIT | Configuration status | Active-low open-drain output indicates successful configuration or detects CRC error during startup |
Key Features

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC5206-6PQ160C | 12,000-gate capacity, same PQFP-160 package and -6 speed grade; higher CLB count (240) and I/O count (132) | Supports larger state machines and wider data paths; requires updated place-and-route constraints | Select when additional logic density is needed without changing PCB layout |
| XC4005E-6PQ160C | Enhanced XC4000E family part; identical pinout but improved routing architecture and lower static current (25 mA vs. 45 mA) | Better suited for battery-sensitive or thermally constrained environments; same 5 V interface | Prefer for new designs requiring lower power or higher routing efficiency |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the XC5204-6PQ160C?
The XC5204-6PQ160C has a -6 speed grade specifying a 15 ns CLB propagation delay, enabling reliable synchronous operation up to 66 MHz for register-to-register paths. Actual system frequency depends on design topology, routing congestion, and I/O timing constraints-not guaranteed beyond this limit without timing analysis.
Does the XC5204-6PQ160C support in-system programming?
Yes, the XC5204-6PQ160C supports in-system programming via serial or parallel configuration modes using an external PROM or microcontroller. Its SRAM-based configuration allows full reprogramming without removing the device from the PCB, making it suitable for field updates and prototyping iterations.
Is the XC5204-6PQ160C pin-compatible with other XC5200 family members?
XC5204-6PQ160C shares the PQ160 package footprint with XC5203, XC5205, and XC5206 variants in the same speed grade, but I/O function mapping and CLB count differ. Pin compatibility exists only within identical package and speed grade combinations-not across gate counts or families like XC4000E.
What voltage levels does the XC5204-6PQ160C support on its I/O pins?
The XC5204-6PQ160C operates exclusively at 5.0 V ±5% and features TTL/CMOS-compatible I/Os with VOH ≥ 2.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V. It does not support 3.3 V or mixed-voltage I/O standards-external level shifters are required for interfacing with modern low-voltage peripherals.
How many configuration modes does the XC5204-6PQ160C support?
The XC5204-6PQ160C supports three configuration modes: Master Serial, Slave Serial, and SelectMAP (parallel). Mode selection is controlled by M0, M1, and M2 pins at power-up. Each mode defines how configuration data is loaded into the internal SRAM fabric.
