Product details
Overview
XC5210-6TQ144C from AMD is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 10,000 usable gates, 144-pin TQFP package, -6 speed grade (14 ns maximum input-to-output delay), and commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). It implements synchronous digital logic in embedded control and interface bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC5210-6TQ144C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count, I/O count (118 user I/Os), speed grade timing, TQFP thermal and routing constraints, and legacy 5 V CMOS compatibility.
Technical Context
The XC5210-6TQ144C belongs to the Xilinx XC5200 family (acquired by AMD/Xilinx), implementing configurable logic blocks (CLBs) with flip-flops and look-up tables, interconnect matrix architecture, and dedicated global clock and reset routing. It supports in-system programming via JTAG boundary-scan interface per IEEE 1149.1.
Configuration is performed through serial mode using an external PROM or parallel mode via CPU bus interface. The device requires 5 V supply and is not 3.3 V tolerant; no internal voltage regulation or multi-voltage I/O support is provided.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gates | 10,000 usable system gates - defines maximum combinational logic density for logic synthesis mapping |
| Speed Grade | -6 (14 ns max tIO) - specifies worst-case input-to-output propagation delay under commercial conditions |
| Package | 144-pin TQFP (20 × 20 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - surface-mount, thermally adequate for moderate-power FPGA operation |
| User I/Os | 118 - available bidirectional pins with configurable pull-up and slew rate control |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ± 5% - mandates external 5 V regulator; incompatible with 3.3 V or mixed-voltage systems |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - restricts use to commercial-grade environments, not industrial or automotive |
Pinout & Package
XC5210-6TQ144C is housed in a 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with 0.5 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad (non-electrical). Pin functions include dedicated clock inputs (CLKA, CLKB), global enable/reset (GTS, GSR), configuration mode select (M0–M2), and 118 user-configurable I/Os grouped into four banks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKA, CLKB | Dedicated global clock inputs | Low-skew routing to all CLBs; required for synchronous design timing closure |
| GSR | Global Set/Reset | Asynchronous active-high reset driving all flip-flops simultaneously |
| GTS | Global Three-State | Active-low output disable controlling all I/O buffers in parallel |
| M0–M2 | Configuration mode select | Determines boot source: serial PROM, parallel CPU, or JTAG boundary-scan |
| I/O[0]–I/O[117] | User I/O bank pins | Configurable as input, output, or bidirectional with programmable pull-up and drive strength |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| In-system programmability | Enables field updates and debug without socket removal via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface |
| Four I/O banks | Allows independent voltage referencing and timing groups per bank - critical for mixed-interface designs |
| Dedicated global resources | Separate GSR, GTS, and dual-clock nets reduce routing congestion and improve timing predictability |
| 5 V CMOS compatibility | Direct interfacing with legacy microcontrollers, ASICs, and peripheral ICs without level-shifting |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA logic implementation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC5210-6PQ100C | 100-pin PQFP package (14 × 20 mm); 84 user I/Os; same gate count and speed grade | Lower I/O count and smaller footprint - suitable where board space is constrained but I/O demand is reduced | Select when PCB area is limited and full 118 I/Os are unnecessary; verify thermal dissipation in compact layouts |
| XC5210-6TQ144I | Same package and pinout; industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C); identical electrical specs | Extended thermal operation enables deployment in non-temperature-controlled enclosures or outdoor cabinets | Choose for deployments outside commercial ambient limits; no PCB or firmware changes required |
Compared with XC5210-6TQ144C, the XC5210-6PQ100C trades I/O count and thermal margin for compactness, while the XC5210-6TQ144I retains full compatibility but extends operational reliability across wider environmental conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XC5210-6TQ144C?
The XC5210-6TQ144C has a -6 speed grade specifying a maximum input-to-output delay of 14 ns. This corresponds to a theoretical maximum system clock frequency of approximately 71 MHz under ideal routing and loading conditions. Actual achievable frequency depends on design complexity, placement, and interconnect delays - verified post-place-and-route in Xilinx Foundation or Alliance software.
Does XC5210-6TQ144C support in-system programming?
Yes, XC5210-6TQ144C supports in-system programming via its IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG boundary-scan interface. This allows configuration bitstream updates, debugging, and verification without removing the device from the PCB - essential for field maintenance and iterative development of the XC5210-6TQ144C-based system.
Can XC5210-6TQ144C operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, XC5210-6TQ144C requires a nominal 5.0 V ±5% supply and is not 3.3 V tolerant. Applying 3.3 V will result in improper configuration, logic malfunction, or failure to initialize. Systems using XC5210-6TQ144C must provide a regulated 5 V rail - level shifters are needed for interfacing with 3.3 V peripherals.
How many configuration modes does XC5210-6TQ144C support?
XC5210-6TQ144C supports three primary configuration modes selected by M0–M2 pins: master serial (boot from external PROM), slave parallel (loaded by host CPU), and JTAG boundary-scan (for programming and testing). Mode selection is static at power-up and determines initialization behavior and debug access capability for the XC5210-6TQ144C.
Is XC5210-6TQ144C pin-compatible with other XC5200 family members?
XC5210-6TQ144C shares the 144-pin TQFP footprint with XC5215-6TQ144C and XC5220-6TQ144C, but gate count and internal resource allocation differ. While mechanical mounting is identical, functional replacement requires logic redesign due to CLB count and routing differences - XC5210-6TQ144C is not a drop-in upgrade for higher-density variants.
