Product details
Overview
XC5210-5PQ208C from AMD is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 10,000 usable gates, 192 I/O pins, and a 5 ns maximum input-to-output delay. It implements synchronous logic with configurable CLBs and interconnect resources, used in high-speed digital control and interface bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC5210-5PQ208C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include gate count, I/O count, speed grade (-5), PQ208 package compatibility, and Xilinx-compatible configuration architecture.
Technical Context
This FPGA belongs to the Xilinx XC5200 family (acquired by AMD/Xilinx), built on 0.5 µm CMOS technology. It supports SRAM-based configuration, JTAG boundary-scan testing per IEEE 1149.1, and in-system programmability via serial or parallel mode.
The device integrates Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), I/O Blocks (IOBs), and programmable interconnect matrix. Configuration data is loaded externally at power-up using a PROM or microprocessor interface, and retains state only while powered.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Speed Grade | -5 - guarantees ≤5 ns input-to-output propagation delay under specified conditions |
| I/O Pins | 192 user-programmable I/Os - supports wide parallel bus interfaces and multi-protocol connectivity |
| Package | PQ208 - 208-pin plastic quad flat pack, 28 × 28 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, lead-free compatible |
| Voltage Supply | 5.0 V ±5% - requires single-rail TTL-compatible supply; no internal voltage regulation |
| Configuration Mode | Master/Slave Serial or Parallel - enables flexible boot loading from external PROM or host processor |
Pinout & Package
PQ208 is a 208-pin plastic quad flat pack with 52 pins per side, exposed pad not present, and thermal performance rated for ≤1.5 W dissipation in still air.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IOxx | Configurable bidirectional I/O | Supports LVTTL/LVCMOS levels; individually programmable as input, output, or bidirectional with slew rate control |
| CLKxx | Global clock input | Dedicated low-skew routing to all CLBs; accepts single-ended 5 V TTL clock signals |
| INIT | Configuration initialization | Active-low signal indicating configuration status; drives low during reconfiguration or CRC error |
| PROGRAM | Configuration reset | Active-low asynchronous reset that clears SRAM configuration and restarts load sequence |
| DIN / DOUT | Serial configuration data | DIN receives configuration bitstream; DOUT enables daisy-chained configuration of multiple devices |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC5210-5PQ208C?
The XC5210-5PQ208C supports master serial, slave serial, and parallel configuration modes. External PROMs (e.g., Xilinx XC18V00 series) or microprocessors can load the configuration bitstream at power-up. The XC5210-5PQ208C does not include on-chip nonvolatile memory and requires external configuration storage.
Does XC5210-5PQ208C support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, XC5210-5PQ208C complies with IEEE 1149.1 and provides full JTAG boundary-scan capability. This enables board-level interconnect testing, in-system programming, and debug access without requiring physical probe points. The XC5210-5PQ208C uses dedicated TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins for this function.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for XC5210-5PQ208C?
The XC5210-5PQ208C is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0 °C to +70 °C. It is not qualified for extended or industrial temperature ranges. Thermal derating is required above 70 °C ambient, and the XC5210-5PQ208C must be operated within its specified junction temperature limits.
Can XC5210-5PQ208C be used in new designs today?
XC5210-5PQ208C is a legacy FPGA with end-of-life status declared by Xilinx. New designs should consider modern alternatives unless maintaining legacy hardware compatibility. Aetrix Electronics supports continued supply of XC5210-5PQ208C for repair and sustainment programs where the XC5210-5PQ208C remains in active use.
What package type does XC5210-5PQ208C use?
XC5210-5PQ208C uses a 208-pin plastic quad flat pack (PQFP) with 0.5 mm lead pitch and 28 mm × 28 mm body size. The package is RoHS-compliant and features gull-wing leads. It is not a BGA or QFN variant-the XC5210-5PQ208C specifically uses the PQ208 footprint defined in Xilinx documentation.
