Product details
Overview
XC5206-5PC84C from AMD is a 5V CMOS FPGA with 6,000 usable gates, 84-pin PLCC package, and 10 ns propagation delay. It implements synchronous logic in embedded control systems requiring reconfigurable digital logic with deterministic timing.
For engineers reviewing the XC5206-5PC84C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include gate count, I/O count, speed grade, supply voltage compatibility, and PLCC thermal and mechanical constraints.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the XC5200 family of high-performance, static CMOS FPGAs. It uses a configurable logic block (CLB) architecture with look-up tables (LUTs), flip-flops, and programmable interconnect resources. Configuration is performed via serial mode using an external PROM or microcontroller.
The XC5206-5PC84C supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan testing and includes dedicated global clock and reset routing. Its I/O cells support TTL/CMOS-compatible input thresholds and programmable output slew rate control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gates | 6,000 usable gates - defines maximum combinational logic capacity for custom state machines or glue logic replacement |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns - guarantees worst-case path timing for 100 MHz system clock domain integration |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±5% - requires standard 5V LDO regulation; not compatible with 3.3V or mixed-voltage I/O domains |
| I/O Pins | 69 user-programmable I/Os - supports parallel bus interfacing, address/data multiplexing, or multi-channel sensor aggregation |
| Package | 84-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) - surface-mount, JEDEC MO-047 compliant, 25.4 mm × 25.4 mm footprint |
| Configuration Mode | Serial master mode - loads bitstream from external 18-bit-wide PROM on power-up; no internal configuration memory |
Pinout & Package
XC5206-5PC84C is housed in an 84-pin PLCC package with gull-wing leads, designed for socketed or reflow-soldered mounting. Thermal resistance θJA is 45°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Core power supply | 5V main supply for CLBs and interconnect; must be decoupled within 10 mm of each corner pin |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all logic and I/O; requires low-inductance plane connection |
| PROGRAM* | Configuration initialization | Active-low signal that resets configuration logic and initiates serial bitstream load sequence |
| DIN | Serial data input | Accepts configuration bitstream MSB-first; synchronized to rising edge of CCLK |
| CCLK | Configuration clock | Externally driven clock (≤25 MHz) controlling PROM-to-FPGA bit transfer timing |
| INIT* | Configuration status | Open-drain output indicating successful bitstream loading or error detection during configuration |
| I/O[0..68] | Programmable bidirectional interface | Configurable as input, output, or bidirectional with 24 mA sink/source drive capability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Static CMOS architecture | Zero static power consumption at standby; enables low-power hold modes in battery-backed systems |
| JTAG boundary-scan support | Enables in-circuit verification of PCB interconnect integrity without physical probe access |
| Programmable slew rate control | Reduces EMI and signal overshoot on high-speed I/O traces by limiting edge rates per pin group |

FAQ
What is the configuration method used by XC5206-5PC84C?
The XC5206-5PC84C uses serial master mode configuration, loading its bitstream from an external 18-bit-wide PROM upon power-up or PROGRAM* assertion. It has no internal configuration memory and relies entirely on external nonvolatile storage. The XC5206-5PC84C requires CCLK and DIN signals synchronized to the PROM's timing specifications, with INIT* providing feedback on configuration success or failure.
Does XC5206-5PC84C support in-system programming (ISP)?
No, the XC5206-5PC84C does not support in-system programming. It lacks internal flash or EEPROM and requires external PROM for configuration. Reprogramming necessitates replacing or reprogramming the external PROM, not direct JTAG-based bitstream injection into the device. The XC5206-5PC84C JTAG port is limited to boundary-scan testing and does not provide configuration access.
What is the maximum operating frequency for logic implemented in XC5206-5PC84C?
The XC5206-5PC84C has a 10 ns propagation delay specification, supporting logic paths that meet timing for up to 100 MHz system clocks under typical conditions. Actual maximum frequency depends on design topology, routing congestion, and temperature; the XC5206-5PC84C datasheet specifies worst-case tPD = 10 ns across commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C).
Can XC5206-5PC84C operate with 3.3V I/O interfaces?
No, the XC5206-5PC84C is a 5V-only device. Its I/O cells are specified for 5V TTL/CMOS thresholds and lack 3.3V-tolerant input clamping or dual-supply I/O structures. Interfacing with 3.3V systems requires external level-shifting circuitry. The XC5206-5PC84C does not support mixed-voltage operation or I/O bank voltage separation.
Is XC5206-5PC84C still in active production by AMD?
No, the XC5206-5PC84C is discontinued by AMD and no longer in active production. It is supported through Aetrix Electronics' extended lifecycle program with verified legacy stock, traceable lot history, and obsolescence mitigation services. Customers using XC5206-5PC84C should engage early for long-term supply planning.
