Product details
Overview
XC5210-5PQ240C from AMD is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in the XC5200 family, featuring 10,000 usable gates, 192 I/O pins, and 128 configurable logic blocks (CLBs). It operates at a maximum system clock frequency of 71 MHz and supports 5 V TTL-compatible I/O standards. This device is used in high-speed digital control and interface bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC5210-5PQ240C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count, I/O count, CLB architecture, speed grade (-5), and PQ240 package compatibility with legacy 5 V system designs.
Technical Context
The XC5210-5PQ240C implements a fine-grained, SRAM-based logic architecture with dedicated carry logic for arithmetic functions and distributed RAM capability per CLB. Its configuration is loaded via serial mode using an external PROM or parallel mode through the JTAG boundary-scan interface.
This FPGA supports three configuration modes: Master Serial, Slave Serial, and JTAG Boundary-Scan. It includes internal pull-up resistors on all I/O pins and supports hot-swap compliant operation with 5 V tolerant inputs and outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gates | 10,000 usable system gates - defines logic capacity for medium-complexity digital controllers and protocol translators. |
| I/O Pins | 192 user-programmable I/Os - supports dense peripheral interfacing in industrial PLC and data acquisition systems. |
| CLBs | 128 configurable logic blocks - each contains two 3-input LUTs and flip-flops, enabling synchronous state-machine implementation. |
| Max Clock Freq | 71 MHz (speed grade -5) - sets timing closure limit for real-time control loops and video sync generators. |
| Voltage | 5 V core and I/O supply - ensures direct compatibility with legacy TTL and CMOS bus systems without level-shifting. |
| Configuration | SRAM-based, reprogrammable - allows field updates and design iteration without hardware change. |
Pinout & Package
PQ240 refers to a 240-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) with 0.5 mm lead pitch, 32 mm × 32 mm body size, and standard JEDEC MO-137AB footprint. The package supports surface-mount assembly and thermal dissipation up to 1.5 W under typical operating conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GCLK1–GCLK4 | Global Clock Inputs | Dedicated low-skew routing to all CLBs - essential for synchronous timing across large logic sections. |
| PROGRAM* | Configuration Reset | Active-low signal that clears SRAM configuration and resets internal logic - enables safe reconfiguration. |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Primary serial configuration data path when using Master Serial mode with external PROM. |
| TMS/TCK/TDI/TDO | JTAG Boundary-Scan Interface | Enables IEEE 1149.1-compliant testing, debugging, and in-system programming without dedicated programming hardware. |
| VCCINT/VCCIO | Power Supplies | Separate 5 V supplies for core logic and I/O banks - simplifies power sequencing and noise isolation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based digital control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3256XL-10PQ240C | CMOS-based CPLD with 256 macrocells, non-volatile configuration, lower gate count (≈2,500 equivalent gates), and 10 ns propagation delay. | Better suited for glue logic and address decoding where reconfigurability is secondary to instant-on operation. | Select when deterministic startup timing and zero-configuration latency outweigh logic density needs. |
| XC4010E-4PQ240C | XC4000E-series FPGA with 10,000 gates, same PQ240 package, but enhanced CLB structure (four 3-LUTs), higher speed grade (-4 = 83 MHz), and improved routing flexibility. | Preferred for new designs requiring higher clock rates or more complex interconnect patterns. | Choose for upgrades where layout reuse is critical but performance margin must increase. |
Compared with XC5210-5PQ240C, the XCR3256XL-10PQ240C offers non-volatile configuration and faster static timing but less logic density, while the XC4010E-4PQ240C provides higher speed and richer routing at the cost of increased power and slightly larger die area - both require separate toolchain support and bitstream compatibility verification.

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC5210-5PQ240C?
The XC5210-5PQ240C supports three configuration methods: Master Serial (using an external PROM), Slave Serial (driven by a microcontroller), and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Boundary-Scan. Configuration data is loaded into internal SRAM, making the XC5210-5PQ240C volatile - power loss requires reload. All modes are documented in the XC5200 Family Databook.
Does XC5210-5PQ240C support hot-swap operation?
Yes, XC5210-5PQ240C supports hot-swap operation due to 5 V-tolerant I/O buffers and internal pull-up resistors on all user pins. This allows safe insertion into powered backplanes without latch-up risk, provided VCCINT and VCCIO are ramped within specified slew rates per the XC5200 DC Characteristics table.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for XC5210-5PQ240C?
The XC5210-5PQ240C is rated for commercial temperature range: 0 °C to +70 °C ambient. It is not qualified for extended or industrial temperature grades. Thermal derating applies above 60 °C ambient, and junction temperature must remain below 105 °C under continuous operation per the XC5200 Thermal Characteristics section.
Can XC5210-5PQ240C be reprogrammed in-system?
Yes, XC5210-5PQ240C can be reprogrammed in-system via its JTAG TAP controller, supporting IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan instructions. This enables firmware updates, logic revisions, and diagnostic testing without removing the device from the PCB - a key capability confirmed in the XC5200 Programming and Configuration User Guide.
Is XC5210-5PQ240C pin-compatible with other XC5200 family members?
XC5210-5PQ240C shares the PQ240 package footprint with XC5202, XC5204, and XC5206 variants in the same speed grade and package type. However, pin functions differ across densities due to CLB count and I/O allocation variations - full pin compatibility is not guaranteed without verifying the specific device's pinout table in the XC5200 Pinout Guide.
