AMD XC5206-6PQ100C

Overview

XC5206-6PQ100C from AMD is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in the XC5200 family, featuring 6,000 usable gates, 100-pin PQFP package, 48 I/O pins, and 5.0 V single-supply operation. It implements synchronous logic for digital control in industrial PLCs and legacy communication interface bridging.

For engineers reviewing the XC5206-6PQ100C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count, I/O count, supply voltage compatibility, and configuration memory retention during power cycling.

Technical Context

The XC5206-6PQ100C uses SRAM-based configuration memory with external PROM loading, supporting IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan testing. Its logic blocks implement 3-input LUTs with dedicated carry chains for arithmetic functions.

Configuration occurs on power-up via serial mode using an external 8-bit PROM; no internal configuration memory is present. The device supports global reset and three dedicated clock inputs with programmable inversion and gating.

Manufacturer

AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) is a U.S.-based semiconductor company specializing in high-performance computing, adaptive SoCs, and programmable logic solutions.

The XC5200 family was designed for cost-sensitive, 5 V system integration where field-upgradable logic replaced discrete TTL and PAL devices in industrial and communications infrastructure.

FAQ

What is the configuration method for XC5206-6PQ100C?

The XC5206-6PQ100C uses external serial configuration via an 8-bit PROM connected to DIN and associated control pins. It has no internal nonvolatile memory and requires external bitstream storage. Configuration occurs automatically on power-up or after PROGRAM* assertion. This method ensures flexibility but adds one external component to the BOM.

Does XC5206-6PQ100C support JTAG boundary-scan testing?

Yes, XC5206-6PQ100C fully complies with IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan. It supports TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and TRST pins for board-level interconnect testing and in-system programming. This capability enables verification of solder joints and signal integrity without physical probe access.

What is the maximum operating frequency of XC5206-6PQ100C?

The XC5206-6PQ100C is rated for a maximum system clock frequency of 71 MHz under worst-case conditions (–6 speed grade). This applies to global clock inputs CLK A/B/C driving registered logic. Actual performance depends on routing delay and logic depth per path, as verified in place-and-route reports.

Can XC5206-6PQ100C operate with mixed 3.3 V and 5 V interfaces?

No, XC5206-6PQ100C is a single-supply 5.0 V device. Its I/O buffers are TTL/CMOS compatible at 5 V and not 3.3 V tolerant. Direct connection to 3.3 V logic requires level-shifting circuitry to prevent damage or incorrect logic thresholds.

Is XC5206-6PQ100C still in active production?

XC5206-6PQ100C is discontinued by AMD but remains available through authorized legacy distributors and Aetrix Electronics' extended lifecycle program. We provide traceable, tested inventory with full documentation and long-term supply assurance for ongoing maintenance and repair programs.
