Product details
Overview
XC5210-6PQ240C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in the XC5200 family, featuring 10,000 usable gates, 192 I/O pins, and a 6 ns maximum input-to-output delay. It uses QP240 (Plastic Quad Flat Package, 240-pin) with 3.3 V core supply and supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan testing. It targets high-speed digital logic control in industrial PLCs.
For engineers reviewing the XC5210-6PQ240C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count, I/O count, speed grade (-6), package thermal profile, and JTAG compliance for in-system programmability and testability.
Technical Context
The XC5210-6PQ240C implements configurable logic blocks (CLBs) arranged in a matrix, each containing two 3-input lookup tables (LUTs) and flip-flops. It supports synchronous and asynchronous reset, clock enable, and global set/reset signals routed via dedicated interconnect.
Configuration is performed via serial mode using the JTAG TAP controller or parallel mode through the configuration pins. The device requires external configuration PROM or master processor initialization and does not include on-chip non-volatile configuration memory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gates | 10,000 usable system gates - defines combinational logic capacity for medium-complexity state machines or glue logic replacement. |
| I/O Pins | 192 user-programmable I/Os - supports dense peripheral interfacing in industrial control backplanes. |
| Speed Grade | -6 = 6 ns max tIO - guarantees worst-case input-to-output propagation delay for timing-critical control paths. |
| Package | PQ240 (Plastic QFP, 240-pin, 0.5 mm pitch) - standard surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and rework. |
| VCCINT | 3.3 V ± 0.3 V - requires dedicated low-noise 3.3 V regulator; not 5 V tolerant. |
| JTAG Support | IEEE 1149.1 compliant - enables boundary-scan testing, in-system programming, and debug visibility without physical probes. |
Pinout & Package
PQ240 is a 240-pin plastic quad flat package with 0.5 mm lead pitch, 32.0 mm × 32.0 mm body size, and standard JEDEC MO-137AC outline. Thermal performance supports industrial temperature operation (0°C to 70°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GCK1–GCK4 | Global Clock Inputs | Dedicated low-skew clock routing to all CLBs; essential for synchronous design timing closure. |
| PROGRAM* | Configuration Reset | Active-low signal that clears configuration memory and initiates reload from external PROM or host. |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Primary serial configuration data path during JTAG or slave serial mode. |
| TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO | JTAG Test Access Port | Enables IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan operations including device ID read, EXTEST, and SAMPLE/PRELOAD. |
| VCCINT, VCCIO, GND | Power & Ground | Separate 3.3 V core and I/O supply domains; decoupling required per Xilinx XC5200 design guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) | Each CLB contains dual 3-LUTs + flip-flop, enabling efficient implementation of arithmetic and sequential logic. |
| Programmable Interconnect Matrix | Provides deterministic routing delays and supports full connectivity between CLBs and I/O blocks. |
| Global Set/Reset & Clock Enable | Dedicated routing resources minimize skew and ensure reliable synchronous control across all logic elements. |
| Boundary-Scan Architecture | Fully compliant with IEEE 1149.1, supporting board-level test, fault isolation, and in-system reconfiguration. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Logic Controller | Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Pattern Generator |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA logic replacement applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC5210-5PQ240C | 5 ns speed grade (faster tIO), identical gate count, I/O count, and package. | Suitable where tighter timing margins are required in critical control loops. | Select when design timing slack is <1 ns and no PCB change is acceptable. |
| XC5210-6PQ208C | Same speed grade and gate count, but PQ208 (208-pin) package with 32 fewer I/Os. | Used in space-constrained designs where I/O count can be reduced by >16%. | Choose only if board layout allows smaller footprint and I/O reduction is verified. |
Compared with XC5210-6PQ240C, the -5PQ240C offers higher timing margin at same pinout, while the -6PQ208C trades I/O density for compactness-neither is pin-compatible without layout revision.

Manufacturer
AMD acquired Xilinx in 2022 and now owns the XC5200 FPGA product line. Xilinx originally developed these early-generation FPGAs for cost-sensitive, medium-complexity logic integration.
The XC5200 family was designed for replacing TTL/PLD logic in industrial control, instrumentation, and communications systems where programmability, density, and predictable timing were critical.
FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the XC5210-6PQ240C?
The XC5210-6PQ240C is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient. It does not support extended or industrial temperature grades. Thermal derating is required above 60°C case temperature, and airflow or heatsinking may be needed in enclosed enclosures. The XC5210-6PQ240C datasheet specifies junction-to-air thermal resistance (θJA) as 35°C/W for the PQ240 package.
Does the XC5210-6PQ240C include on-chip configuration memory?
No, the XC5210-6PQ240C is SRAM-based and requires external configuration memory. It must be loaded at power-up via JTAG, serial PROM, or parallel master mode. The XC5210-6PQ240C has no internal non-volatile storage, so configuration is volatile and lost on power cycle unless reloaded.
Can the XC5210-6PQ240C operate with 5 V I/O signaling?
No, the XC5210-6PQ240C supports only 3.3 V I/O signaling (VCCIO = 3.3 V). Its I/O buffers are not 5 V tolerant. Driving 5 V signals directly into XC5210-6PQ240C inputs risks damage. Level-shifting circuitry is required for interfacing with 5 V systems.
How many global clock inputs does the XC5210-6PQ240C provide?
The XC5210-6PQ240C provides four dedicated global clock inputs: GCK1 through GCK4. These pins connect to low-skew global routing networks that distribute clocks to all CLBs and I/O blocks with minimal skew. This capability is documented in the XC5200 family pinout guide and confirmed in the XC5210-6PQ240C device-specific package drawing.
Is JTAG boundary-scan supported on the XC5210-6PQ240C?
Yes, the XC5210-6PQ240C fully supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan. Pins TMS, TCK, TDI, and TDO are dedicated for this function and enable device identification, EXTEST, and SAMPLE/PRELOAD operations. This feature is integral to the XC5210-6PQ240C architecture and verified in Xilinx's XC5200 Boundary-Scan Description File (BSDL).
