Product details
Overview
XC5215-6HQ240CO359 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-designed for cost-sensitive embedded control, industrial interface logic, and reconfigurable digital signal routing in legacy 5V systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC5215-6HQ240CO359 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its VersaRing™ I/O architecture for pin-locking, IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan support on all I/Os, zero flip-flop hold time with programmable input delay, and compatibility with XC4000-series footprints in HQ240 packaging.
Technical Context
The XC5215-6HQ240CO359 implements a VersaBlock™ architecture composed of 484 configurable logic blocks (CLBs), each containing four independent 4-input LUTs and D-type flip-flops/latches with shared clock, clock enable, and asynchronous clear. Its local interconnect matrix (LIM) provides full intra-CLB connectivity without consuming general routing resources.
Routing uses six hierarchical levels-including direct connects, single/double-length lines, and Longlines-with four global buffers for clock or high-fanout signals. Configuration occurs via serial bitstream loading; it supports Express mode and Peripheral Synchronous mode but lacks on-chip oscillator or power-down capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Cells | 1,936 - defines maximum combinational logic capacity; maps to ~23,000 system gates |
| I/O Pins | 244 - supported by VersaRing™ interface enabling pre-assigned pin locking before logic completion |
| CLBs | 484 - each contains four logic cells, 20 inputs, and 12 outputs for fine-grained resource allocation |
| Global Clock Nets | 4 - low-skew dedicated distribution paths for synchronous timing-critical subsystems |
| Boundary Scan | IEEE 1149.1 compliant on all I/O pins - enables board-level testability without external fixtures |
| Input Delay Control | Programmable one-tap delay - guarantees zero hold time relative to global clocks, simplifying timing closure |
| Output Drive | 8 mA sink/source - sufficient for direct interfacing with TTL and 5V CMOS loads |
Pinout & Package
XC5215-6HQ240CO359 is housed in a 240-pin High-Performance Quad Flat Package (HQ240) with 22 × 22 mm body size, 0.5 mm pitch, and standard lead finish. The package supports footprint compatibility with XC4000-series devices in same pin count variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PADxx (I/O) | User-configurable bidirectional signal | Each supports TTL/CMOS thresholds, slew-rate control, and optional input delay; no internal registers |
| CLKxx | Global clock input | Drives one of four dedicated low-skew clock distribution networks; may be sourced externally or internally |
| GTS | Global three-state enable | Active-high signal controlling all CLB TBUFs simultaneously for system-wide bus arbitration |
| GR | Global reset input | Asynchronous reset net distributed via dedicated routing; clears all flip-flops during power-up or reconfiguration |
| DONE | Configuration status output | Open-drain signal indicating successful bitstream loading and device initialization |
| PROGRAM | Configuration override input | Single-function pin that forces reinitialization and clears configuration memory regardless of other inputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| VersaRing™ I/O Interface | Decouples IOBs from core logic to maximize I/O-to-gate ratio (244 I/Os / 1936 LCs) and enable PCB layout lock prior to logic synthesis |
| Dedicated Carry Logic | Per-LC CY_MUX enables fast arithmetic chains (e.g., adders, counters); requires adjacent LC for sum generation |
| Internal 3-State Bussing | Four TBUFs per CLB drive horizontal/vertical Longlines - supports multiplexed data buses without consuming logic resources |
| Zero Hold Time Input Path | Programmable input delay eliminates positive hold-time constraints when using global clock nets, easing timing closure in 5V systems |
| Express Configuration Mode | Reduces configuration time versus standard serial mode - beneficial for field updates and partial reconfiguration scenarios |
Applications
| Industrial Motion Controller Interface | Legacy Test Equipment Reconfiguration |
|---|---|

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC5215-6PQ208C | 208-pin PQFP package; 196 I/Os; identical logic cell count and speed grade | Limited I/O count and smaller thermal mass reduce suitability for high-density backplane interfaces | Select when board space constraints favor smaller footprint and I/O requirements are ≤196 |
| XC4013E-4PQ208C | XC4000-series device; 13,000 gates; includes embedded RAM; no VersaRing I/O | Lacks pin-locking capability and zero-hold-time input path; requires more careful timing analysis | Choose only if existing design uses XC4000 toolchain and embedded RAM is required for FIFO or lookup table storage |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for XC5215-6HQ240CO359?
XC5215-6HQ240CO359 operates at a nominal 5.0 V ±10% (4.5 V to 5.5 V). Its I/Os support both TTL (1.2 V threshold) and CMOS (input high ≥3.5 V) logic levels, and 3.3 V outputs can reliably drive XC5215-6HQ240CO359 inputs when configured in TTL mode per Table 5 of the datasheet.
Does XC5215-6HQ240CO359 support in-system programming?
Yes, XC5215-6HQ240CO359 supports in-system programming via serial configuration mode using the DIN, CCLK, and PROG pins. It does not support JTAG configuration; however, IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan is fully implemented on all I/O pins for testing after configuration.
Can XC5215-6HQ240CO359 replace XC4000-series devices on the same PCB?
XC5215-6HQ240CO359 offers footprint compatibility with XC4000-series devices in the HQ240 package, but pin functions differ. Direct replacement requires logic redesign due to architectural differences-including absence of embedded RAM, different CLB structure, and VersaRing I/O placement-though mechanical mounting is preserved.
What clocking resources does XC5215-6HQ240CO359 provide?
XC5215-6HQ240CO359 provides four dedicated low-skew global clock or high-fanout signal distribution nets. Each can be driven from an external pin or any internal node. There is no on-chip oscillator, but an internal 12 MHz oscillator is available for auxiliary timing functions.
Is XC5215-6HQ240CO359 still in production?
No, XC5215-6HQ240CO359 is obsolete and no longer manufactured by AMD/Xilinx. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy inventory and provides lifecycle coordination support-including obsolescence forecasting, cross-reference guidance, and last-time-buy planning-for ongoing production programs.
