Product details
Overview
XC9536XL-10PCG44C from AMD is a 36-macrocell CPLD in a 44-pin PLCC package, operating at 10 ns maximum propagation delay, with 3.3 V supply voltage and 5 V-tolerant I/Os, used in legacy industrial control logic replacement and board-level glue logic consolidation.
For engineers reviewing the XC9536XL-10PCG44C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include macrocell count, I/O voltage tolerance, propagation delay budget, and PLCC socket compatibility for field-upgradeable systems.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the XC9500XL family of high-performance, low-voltage CPLDs built on Flash-based process technology. It implements registered and combinatorial logic using macrocells with configurable product-term architecture, shared expanders, and local feedback paths.
The XC9536XL-10PCG44C supports in-system programmability via JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) and includes advanced power management features such as standby mode with <10 µA current draw and slew-rate controlled outputs to reduce EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Macrocells | 36 macrocells provide combinational or registered logic resources for medium-complexity state machines and interface bridging. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 10 ns ensures timing closure in 50 MHz synchronous logic paths with margin for routing delays. |
| I/O Count | 34 user I/O pins support parallel bus interfacing, address decoding, and peripheral control in compact layouts. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V nominal operation enables direct integration into modern low-voltage digital subsystems. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 5 V-tolerant inputs allow safe interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL/CMOS peripherals without level shifters. |

Pinout & Package
XC9536XL-10PCG44C is housed in a 44-pin PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package with gull-wing leads, 0.05 inch pitch, and body size 16.59 mm × 16.59 mm. The package supports through-hole mounting and socket insertion for reprogrammable logic applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Primary power return path for all internal logic and I/O buffers; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| VCC | Core supply | 3.3 V power input for macrocell array and internal logic; decoupling capacitor required near pin. |
| TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO | JTAG boundary-scan interface | Enable IEEE 1149.1-compliant programming and testing without dedicated programming hardware. |
| IO/GCLK0–IO/GCLK3 | Global clock inputs | Four dedicated high-fanout clock inputs drive all macrocells synchronously with minimal skew. |
| IO/PINxx (0–33) | Configurable I/O | 34 bidirectional pins support input, output, or bidirectional modes with programmable slew rate and pull-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
