Product details
Overview
XC5206-6PQ160C from AMD is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in the XC5200 family, featuring 6,000 usable gates, 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP), and -6 speed grade (14 ns maximum input-to-output delay). It implements synchronous logic with configurable CLBs, I/O blocks, and interconnect resources for digital system prototyping and glue logic replacement.
For engineers reviewing the XC5206-6PQ160C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include gate count, I/O count (120 user I/Os), speed grade (-6), PQFP-160 package compatibility, and legacy 5 V CMOS interface support.
Technical Context
The XC5206-6PQ160C uses a segmented interconnect architecture with programmable switch matrices and dedicated carry logic for arithmetic functions. Its Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) each contain two 3-input look-up tables (LUTs), flip-flops, and multiplexers to implement combinational and sequential logic.
It supports in-system configuration via serial mode using an external PROM or parallel mode through a microprocessor bus interface. Configuration data is volatile and requires re-loading at power-up unless paired with an external configuration memory device.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage requirement for XC5206-6PQ160C?
The XC5206-6PQ160C requires a nominal 5.0 V ± 5% supply (4.75 V to 5.25 V) on all VCC pins. It is not 3.3 V tolerant and must be powered from a regulated 5 V source with adequate local decoupling. This voltage level is essential for correct SRAM cell retention and I/O buffer operation in the XC5206-6PQ160C.
Does XC5206-6PQ160C support in-system programming?
Yes, the XC5206-6PQ160C supports in-system configuration via its serial (DIN/CLK) or parallel (DATA/ADDR) interfaces. However, because it uses volatile SRAM configuration memory, the XC5206-6PQ160C must be reloaded after each power cycle using an external PROM or microprocessor - no native nonvolatile configuration storage exists within the XC5206-6PQ160C itself.
How many user I/O pins does XC5206-6PQ160C provide?
The XC5206-6PQ160C provides 120 user-programmable I/O pins, distributed across all four sides of the PQFP-160 package. Each I/O supports configurable drive strength, slew rate, and optional weak pull-up, making the XC5206-6PQ160C suitable for mixed-voltage interface scenarios within 5 V systems.
Is XC5206-6PQ160C compatible with IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan?
Yes, the XC5206-6PQ160C integrates a fully compliant IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Test Access Port (TAP) controller. This enables boundary-scan testing, configuration verification, and debug access without requiring physical probes - a key capability confirmed in the official XC5200 family documentation for the XC5206-6PQ160C.
What is the maximum clock frequency achievable with XC5206-6PQ160C?
The XC5206-6PQ160C does not specify a fixed maximum system clock frequency due to design-dependent routing and logic depth. However, its -6 speed grade guarantees ≤14 ns input-to-output delay, supporting synchronous logic operation up to approximately 70 MHz in typical register-to-register paths - a timing limit verified in XC5200 family application notes for the XC5206-6PQ160C.
