Product details
Overview
XC95288XL-7FG256I from AMD (acquired by Xilinx) is a high-density, 5V in-system programmable CPLD with 288 macrocells, 256-pin FBGA package, 7.5 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay, and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support. It serves as a logic replacement and glue-logic controller in legacy industrial control and telecom interface boards.
For engineers reviewing the XC95288XL-7FG256I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include propagation delay, macrocell count, JTAG compliance, I/O voltage tolerance, and in-system programmability for field upgrades.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the XC9500XL family of advanced CPLDs built on 0.35 µm CMOS technology. It features five function blocks interconnected via a FastCONNECT II switch matrix, each block containing 36 macrocells with configurable product-term sharing and local feedback paths.
The architecture supports 100% JTAG-compliant boundary-scan testing and ISP via IEEE 1532-compatible programming. All I/O pins are 5V-tolerant and support Schmitt-trigger inputs, open-drain outputs, and slew-rate control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD-based logic replacement applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xilinx XC95288XL-10FG256I | Slower 10 ns propagation delay; identical macrocell count, package, and feature set. | Suitable where timing margins exceed 10 ns; lower power consumption at reduced speed grade. | Select when system clock frequency ≤100 MHz and thermal budget is constrained. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XC95288XL-7FG256I?
The XC95288XL-7FG256I supports system clock frequencies up to approximately 133 MHz, derived from its 7.5 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay specification. This value assumes ideal routing and load conditions; actual achievable frequency depends on design topology, fan-out, and PCB layout. The device's FastCONNECT II switch matrix ensures consistent timing across all macrocell interconnections in the XC95288XL-7FG256I implementation.
Does XC95288XL-7FG256I support in-system programming via JTAG?
Yes, XC95288XL-7FG256I fully supports IEEE 1532-compliant in-system programming using the standard JTAG TAP controller. Programming can be performed at system power-up or during normal operation without removing the device. The XC95288XL-7FG256I requires only TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and VCCIO to execute ISP, enabling field firmware updates and logic revisions.
Is XC95288XL-7FG256I qualified for automotive applications?
The XC95288XL-7FG256I is specified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and meets AEC-Q100 Grade 3 stress testing requirements per Xilinx documentation. While not officially automotive-qualified as a standalone part, its tested performance and reliability make it suitable for under-hood diagnostic modules and gateway controllers where full AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certification is not mandated. Always verify final application compliance using the XC95288XL-7FG256I's official qualification report.
Can XC95288XL-7FG256I interface directly with 5 V logic devices?
Yes, XC95288XL-7FG256I features 5 V-tolerant I/Os, allowing direct connection to 5 V TTL and CMOS peripherals without external level shifters. Its I/O pins accept 5 V inputs while operating from a 3.3 V core supply. This capability is explicitly defined in the XC95288XL-7FG256I datasheet and verified across all 192 user I/Os under recommended operating conditions.
What development tools are required to program XC95288XL-7FG256I?
Xilinx ISE Design Suite (versions 14.7 and earlier) is the officially supported toolchain for XC95288XL-7FG256I synthesis, fitting, and programming. Third-party tools like Lattice Diamond are not compatible. Programming hardware must support IEEE 1532 and JTAG boundary-scan; Xilinx Platform Cable USB or equivalent certified adapters are required to configure the XC95288XL-7FG256I.
