Product details
Overview
XC5215-6HQ208C0359 from Xilinx is a 5-Volt, SRAM-based Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 1,936 logic cells, 244 I/O pins, and four dedicated low-skew global clock nets. It implements combinational and sequential logic via 4-input LUTs and D-flip-flops/latches per logic cell, and supports IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan for board-level testability in industrial control and legacy telecom interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC5215-6HQ208C0359 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 22×22 VersaBlock array, programmable slew-rate control, zero hold-time input delay, internal 3-state bussing, and footprint compatibility with XC4000-series packages.
Technical Context
The XC5215-6HQ208C0359 uses a VersaBlock architecture comprising 484 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), each containing four independent Logic Cells (LCs) with 4-input LUTs, edge-triggered D-flip-flops or transparent latches, and dedicated carry logic for arithmetic acceleration. Its Local Interconnect Matrix (LIM) provides full intra-CLB connectivity without consuming general routing resources.
Routing employs six hierarchical levels - single-length, double-length, and Longlines - managed through a General Routing Matrix tightly coupled to VersaBlocks. The VersaRing I/O interface decouples IOBs from core logic, enabling pin-locking and high I/O-to-gate ratio (244 I/Os at 1,936 logic cells), while supporting TTL/CMOS input thresholds and 8-mA output drive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Cells | 1,936 - defines maximum combinational/sequential logic capacity; maps to ~23,000 system gates. |
| I/O Pins | 244 - enables high-pin-count interfaces such as parallel buses or multi-channel data acquisition. |
| CLB Array Size | 22 × 22 - determines physical layout granularity and placement flexibility for large logic partitions. |
| Global Clock Nets | 4 - provides low-skew distribution for synchronous timing domains without external buffers. |
| Boundary Scan | IEEE 1149.1 compliant on all I/O pins - enables JTAG-based board-level testing and in-system programming. |
| Input Delay Element | One-tap programmable delay - guarantees zero hold time when using global clocks, simplifying timing closure. |
| Output Drive | 8 mA sink/source - supports direct interfacing with 5 V TTL and CMOS loads without external drivers. |
Pinout & Package
XC5215-6HQ208C0359 is housed in a 208-pin PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Package) with 0.5 mm lead pitch, denoted by "HQ208" in the part number. This package supports surface-mount assembly and offers mechanical compatibility with other XC5200 and XC4000 series devices in the same footprint family.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power Supply | 5 V main supply for core and I/O; requires local decoupling near each power pin group. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Dedicated ground pins distributed across all four sides to minimize noise coupling and ensure signal integrity. |
| IO_xx | Configurable I/O | 244 bidirectional pins supporting input, output, or tristate modes; individually configurable for TTL/CMOS thresholds and slew rate. |
| CLKxx | Global Clock Input | Four dedicated clock inputs routed to low-skew global nets; may also accept internal logic signals as clock sources. |
| PROGRAM | Configuration Reset | Single-function active-low pin that forces reinitialization of configuration memory and resets internal state. |
| DONE | Configuration Status | Open-drain output indicating successful configuration completion; pulled high externally to confirm readiness. |
| INIT | Initialization Monitor | Active-low open-drain output signaling configuration memory initialization status during startup or reload. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| VersaRing I/O Interface | Enables pre-assignment (pin-locking) of I/O locations before logic synthesis, accelerating PCB co-design and reducing iteration cycles. |
| Dedicated Carry Logic | Per-LC carry multiplexer supports fast ripple-carry adders and counters with predictable propagation delay across CLB columns. |
| Internal 3-State Bussing | Four TBUFs per CLB drive horizontal/vertical Longlines, enabling on-chip multiplexed or bidirectional data paths without consuming logic cells. |
| Programmable Slew-Rate Control | Reduces EMI and ground bounce on non-critical outputs; FAST attribute restores full-speed switching for timing-critical signals. |
| Zero Flip-Flop Hold Time | Guaranteed via default input delay tap, eliminating temperature- or process-dependent hold violations when using global clocks. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA logic implementation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC5215-6PQ208C | Same logic capacity (1,936 LCs), identical architecture, but packaged in 208-pin PQFP without "C0359" date/batch code suffix. | No functional difference; C0359 denotes specific wafer lot and test date - not a device variant. | Select XC5215-6PQ208C if long-term availability tracking is not required and standard commercial-grade marking suffices. |
| XC4013E-6PQ208C | 13,000-gate XC4000E device with wider CLB inputs (9 vs. 20), no VersaRing, and integrated RAM blocks - lacks carry chain and cascade decode features. | Better suited for RAM-intensive control logic; less optimal for arithmetic-heavy or wide-decode functions implemented in XC5215-6HQ208C0359. | Choose XC4013E-6PQ208C only when on-chip dual-port RAM is essential and carry-optimized arithmetic is not required. |
Compared with XC5215-6HQ208C0359, XC5215-6PQ208C offers identical functionality with simplified traceability, while XC4013E-6PQ208C trades dedicated arithmetic resources for embedded memory - making the former a drop-in replacement and the latter a functional alternative only for memory-centric designs.

Manufacturer
Xilinx, Inc. was a pioneering developer of programmable logic devices, acquired by AMD in 2022. It specialized in FPGA architectures delivering flexibility, performance, and design tool integration for complex digital systems.
The XC5200 Series - including XC5215-6HQ208C0359 - was engineered for cost-sensitive, high-I/O-density applications in industrial and telecom markets, emphasizing reprogrammability, pin-locking, and robust board-testability over embedded memory or mixed-signal integration.
FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XC5215-6HQ208C0359?
The XC5215-6HQ208C0359 is rated for system performance beyond 50 MHz, with benchmarked synchronous clock rates exceeding 66 MHz in optimized designs. Actual achievable frequency depends on logic depth, routing congestion, and clock net loading - not a fixed guaranteed value. The -6 speed grade indicates timing characterization consistent with this range under typical conditions.
Does XC5215-6HQ208C0359 support in-system programming via JTAG?
Yes, XC5215-6HQ208C0359 integrates IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan circuitry on all I/O pins, enabling JTAG-based configuration, readback, and board-level testing. However, it does not support dynamic partial reconfiguration - configuration occurs fully at power-up or upon PROGRAM pin assertion.
Is XC5215-6HQ208C0359 compatible with 3.3 V logic interfaces?
XC5215-6HQ208C0359 is a 5 V device with TTL-compatible inputs. When configured in TTL mode, its inputs accept 3.3 V logic-high signals reliably. Outputs swing rail-to-rail (0–5 V) and require level-shifting or bus-holding resistors for safe interfacing with 3.3 V receivers.
What does the "C0359" suffix in XC5215-6HQ208C0359 indicate?
The "C0359" suffix in XC5215-6HQ208C0359 is a date/batch code: "C" denotes commercial temperature grade (0°C to 70°C), "03" is the year 1993, "59" is the 59th week - confirming it is a 1993-manufactured unit. It does not reflect a functional variant or revision change from XC5215-6HQ208C.
Can XC5215-6HQ208C0359 implement synchronous RAM functions?
No, XC5215-6HQ208C0359 does not contain embedded RAM blocks. Its 4-input LUTs cannot be configured as true dual-port or synchronous RAM - unlike later families such as XC4000E. Memory functions must be built from flip-flops and logic, limiting practical depth and port count compared to RAM-equipped FPGAs.
