Product details
Overview
XC9536XL-10VQG64C from AMD (acquired by Xilinx) is a 36-macrocell CPLD in VQFP-64 package, with 10 ns propagation delay, 5 V tolerant I/O, and in-system programmable via JTAG. It serves as glue logic replacement in legacy industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the XC9536XL-10VQG64C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include macrocell count, pin-compatible migration path from XC9536-10VQ64, I/O voltage tolerance, and JTAG-based reprogrammability in deployed systems.
Technical Context
This device implements a classic architecture with three function blocks, each containing 12 macrocells with product-term-based logic, shared expanders, and configurable output polarity. Each macrocell supports registered or combinatorial output modes with global and local clocking options.
Logic is programmed via on-chip EEPROM cells, enabling non-volatile configuration retention without external memory. The JTAG interface complies with IEEE 1149.1 and supports boundary-scan testing and in-system programming at 5 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Macrocells | 36 macrocells distributed across three function blocks for medium-complexity glue logic implementation |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns maximum – enables timing-critical interfacing between legacy microcontrollers and peripheral ASICs |
| I/O Pins | 52 user I/O pins with 5 V tolerance – allows direct connection to TTL/CMOS 5 V buses without level shifters |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V core with 5 V-tolerant I/O – supports mixed-voltage system integration |
| Programming Interface | JTAG IEEE 1149.1 compliant – enables field firmware updates and boundary-scan diagnostics |
| Non-volatile Memory | On-chip EEPROM – retains configuration after power cycle without external PROM |
Pinout & Package
VQFP-64 (Very Thin Quad Flat Package, 64-pin, 10 mm × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 marked by corner notch.

| TDI | JTAG Test Data In | Serial input for configuration bitstream and JTAG instructions |
| VCCIO | I/O Power Supply | Supplies 5 V to all I/O buffers; decoupling required per pin group |
| VCCINT | Core Power Supply | Supplies 3.3 V to internal logic and macrocell array; separate from I/O rail |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for both core and I/O sections; multiple pins for low-impedance path |
| TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK | JTAG Boundary-Scan Signals | Enable in-system programming and structural testing without physical probe access |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the XC9536XL-10VQG64C?
The XC9536XL-10VQG64C has a 10 ns maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay, supporting reliable operation up to 50 MHz for registered logic paths and 33 MHz for full combinational paths under typical conditions. Actual system frequency depends on logic depth and routing; timing analysis must be performed using Xilinx WebPACK or ISE tools with the XC9536XL-10VQG64C speed file.
Does the XC9536XL-10VQG64C require an external configuration PROM?
No, the XC9536XL-10VQG64C uses on-chip EEPROM for non-volatile configuration storage, eliminating the need for external PROM. The device powers up fully operational within microseconds, with no initialization sequence required. This simplifies system design and improves reliability in mission-critical applications where boot predictability matters.
Can the XC9536XL-10VQG64C be reprogrammed in the system after soldering?
Yes, the XC9536XL-10VQG64C supports full in-system programming (ISP) via its IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG interface. Reprogramming can be performed at 3.3 V core and 5 V I/O levels without removing the device from the PCB. Field updates require only a standard JTAG programmer and valid JEDEC programming files generated by Xilinx design tools.
Is the XC9536XL-10VQG64C pin-compatible with earlier XC9536-10VQ64 devices?
Yes, the XC9536XL-10VQG64C is pin-compatible with the original XC9536-10VQ64, sharing identical VQFP-64 mechanical dimensions and pin assignments. However, it adds 5 V-tolerant I/O capability and improved ISP robustness. Migration requires only a JEDEC file update - no PCB or schematic changes are needed.
What development tools support the XC9536XL-10VQG64C?
The XC9536XL-10VQG64C is supported by Xilinx WebPACK ISE 14.7 and earlier versions, including schematic capture, ABEL/HDL synthesis, place-and-route, and JTAG programming utilities. Device-specific libraries, timing models, and constraint files are included. No subscription or cloud license is required - all tools remain freely downloadable for legacy XC9500XL family development.
