Product details
Overview
XC5210-6PQ208C from AMD is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 10,000 usable gates, 192 I/O pins, and a 6 ns maximum input-to-output delay. It implements synchronous logic with configurable CLBs and interconnect resources, targeting high-speed digital control and interface bridging in industrial PLCs and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the XC5210-6PQ208C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count, I/O count, speed grade (-6), PQ208 package compatibility, and legacy 5 V CMOS interface support.
Technical Context
The XC5210-6PQ208C belongs to the Xilinx XC5200 family (acquired by AMD), using SRAM-based configuration with external PROM boot. It supports JTAG boundary-scan testing per IEEE 1149.1 and features dedicated carry logic for arithmetic functions.
Configuration occurs via serial or parallel mode using a 5 V-tolerant programming interface. The device operates at 5 V supply and supports TTL/CMOS-compatible I/O standards without level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gates | 10,000 usable logic gates - determines maximum combinational logic density for state machines or protocol engines |
| I/O Pins | 192 user-programmable I/Os - supports wide parallel bus interfaces or multi-channel sensor aggregation |
| Speed Grade | -6 = 6 ns max tPD - enables 125 MHz system clock operation in critical paths |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ± 5% - requires standard 5 V regulator, no mixed-voltage I/O support |
| Configuration Mode | Serial or parallel PROM loading - defines boot architecture and FPGA initialization sequence |
| Logic Cell Type | Configurable Logic Block (CLB) with flip-flop and LUT - provides synchronous sequential + combinational logic capability |
Pinout & Package
XC5210-6PQ208C uses a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) with 0.5 mm pitch and 28 × 28 mm body size. Pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise convention starting from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Multiple dedicated pins distributed across all four sides for low-inductance return path |
| VCC | Core power supply | 5 V supply for internal logic; requires local decoupling near each VCC pin |
| IOn | Bi-directional I/O | Configurable as input, output, or bidirectional with programmable slew rate and pull-up |
| CLK | Global clock input | Dedicated low-skew routing to all CLBs; accepts single-ended 5 V CMOS/TTL signals |
| PROGRAM* | Configuration reset | Active-low asynchronous reset that clears SRAM configuration and initiates re-load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SRAM-based configuration | Enables rapid design iteration and field updates via external PROM or processor-controlled reload |
| JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) | Supports board-level interconnect testing without physical probe access |
| Dedicated carry chain | Accelerates arithmetic operations such as counters and adders with predictable timing |
| 5 V tolerant I/O | Interfaces directly with legacy TTL, CMOS, and microcontroller peripherals without level shifters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based digital logic applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC5210-5PQ208C | 5 ns speed grade vs. 6 ns; identical gate count, I/O, and package | Suitable where tighter timing margins are required in critical paths | Select when worst-case propagation delay must be ≤5 ns under full temperature/voltage range |
| XC5210-6PQ160C | Same speed grade and gate count, but 160-pin PQFP package (128 I/O) | Fits space-constrained PCBs where full 192 I/O not needed | Choose when board area is limited and I/O count can be reduced by ≥32 pins |
Compared with XC5210-6PQ208C, the -5PQ208C offers faster timing at same package and gate count, while the -6PQ160C trades I/O count for smaller footprint-both require layout revision and signal reassignment.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for XC5210-6PQ208C?
The XC5210-6PQ208C operates at a nominal 5.0 V supply with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning it functions reliably between 4.75 V and 5.25 V. This fixed-voltage requirement eliminates need for dual-supply designs but mandates compatible 5 V regulators and decoupling networks. All I/Os are 5 V tolerant and do not support mixed-voltage signaling.
Does XC5210-6PQ208C support in-system programming?
XC5210-6PQ208C does not support true in-system programming (ISP) because its SRAM configuration is volatile and requires external PROM or processor-controlled reload after power-up. While JTAG interface allows boundary-scan testing and configuration data verification, reprogramming necessitates external configuration source access-not direct SPI/I2C write to device memory.
What package type is used by XC5210-6PQ208C?
XC5210-6PQ208C uses a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) with 0.5 mm lead pitch and 28 mm × 28 mm body dimensions. It is RoHS-compliant and designed for surface-mount reflow assembly. The package provides full access to all 192 user I/Os plus power and ground pins distributed across all four edges.
Is XC5210-6PQ208C pin-compatible with other XC5200 family members?
XC5210-6PQ208C is pin-compatible with other XC5200 devices in the same PQ208 package, including XC5202, XC5204, and XC5206 variants. However, gate count, speed grade, and configuration bitstream differ-so PCB layout reuse is possible only if the replacement device matches both package and I/O count, and functional equivalence is verified in HDL synthesis.
What configuration methods does XC5210-6PQ208C support?
XC5210-6PQ208C supports both serial and parallel configuration modes using external PROMs. Serial mode uses a single data line and clock; parallel mode loads 8-bit words simultaneously for faster initialization. Configuration occurs on power-up or after assertion of PROGRAM* pin, and JTAG TDI/TDO pins may be repurposed as I/O once configuration completes.
