Product details
Overview
XC9536XL-5PCG44C from AMD is a 36-macrocell CPLD in a 44-pin PLCC package, operating at 5 ns propagation delay with 5 V supply tolerance and 100% IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support. It serves as a glue-logic replacement in legacy industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the XC9536XL-5PCG44C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include macrocell count, propagation delay, JTAG compliance, I/O voltage range, and PLCC-44 thermal profile for through-hole reworkability.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the XC9500XL family of high-performance, low-voltage CPLDs built on 0.35 µm CMOS technology. It implements registered and combinatorial logic using 36 macrocells, each with programmable product-term-based AND-OR logic, feedback paths, and configurable output polarity.
The architecture supports in-system programming via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface and includes slew-rate controlled outputs, user-defined power-down modes, and hot-swap I/Os compliant with 5 V tolerant input thresholds. Internal logic operates at 3.3 V while maintaining 5 V I/O compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Macrocell Count | 36 macrocells provide sufficient logic density for address decoding, bus interfacing, and state-machine control in legacy embedded systems. |
| Propagation Delay | 5 ns max ensures timing closure in 20 MHz synchronous designs with minimal external buffering. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V core / 5 V tolerant I/O allows direct interfacing with TTL/CMOS 5 V peripherals without level shifters. |
| JTAG Support | Full IEEE 1149.1 compliance enables boundary-scan testing and in-system programming without dedicated programming hardware. |
| Package Type | 44-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) supports through-hole mounting and manual rework in maintenance environments. |
| I/O Pins | 34 user I/O pins with individually configurable pull-up resistors and slew-rate control for EMI reduction. |

XC9536XL-5PCG44C uses a 44-pin PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package with 0.05 inch lead pitch, 16.5 mm × 16.5 mm body size, and JEDEC MO-047A outline. The package is leaded, surface-mount compatible but commonly used in through-hole sockets for field-replaceable logic.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Two dedicated ground pins (12, 23) ensure stable reference for internal logic and I/O drivers. |
| VCC | Core power supply | Single 3.3 V supply pin (33) powers internal logic array and macrocell registers. |
| VCCIO | I/O power supply | 5 V supply pin (44) powers output buffers and enables 5 V tolerant input thresholds. |
| TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO | JTAG test interface | Pins 1–4 implement full IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan for programming and diagnostics. |
| I/O0–I/O33 | Configurable bidirectional I/O | 34 pins support registered/combinatorial logic I/O with programmable slew rate and pull-ups. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD-based glue-logic applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by XC9536XL-5PCG44C?
The XC9536XL-5PCG44C has a 5 ns maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay, enabling reliable operation in synchronous designs up to 20 MHz. This value assumes worst-case conditions including temperature, voltage, and process variation; actual system-level timing must be verified using place-and-route tools and static timing analysis on the target PCB layout.
Does XC9536XL-5PCG44C support in-system programming?
Yes, XC9536XL-5PCG44C supports full in-system programming via its IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface. No external programming hardware is required-configuration can be performed directly on the target board using standard JTAG adapters and AMD's WebPACK or iMPACT software tools.
Can XC9536XL-5PCG44C operate with a 5 V supply only?
No, XC9536XL-5PCG44C requires separate 3.3 V for its core logic and 5 V for I/O buffers (VCCIO). Applying 5 V to the VCC pin will damage the device. The 5 V tolerance applies only to input signals referenced to VCCIO, not to core power.
Is XC9536XL-5PCG44C pin-compatible with XC9536-10PC44C?
Yes, XC9536XL-5PCG44C and XC9536-10PC44C share identical 44-pin PLCC footprints and pin functions. However, they differ in electrical specifications: the XL version uses 3.3 V core with 5 V I/O tolerance, while the non-XL version requires 5 V core supply and lacks JTAG boundary-scan support.
What programming software is required for XC9536XL-5PCG44C?
XC9536XL-5PCG44C is programmed using AMD's legacy WebPACK or Xilinx ISE (after AMD's acquisition of Xilinx CPLD toolchain). Configuration files are generated in JEDEC or BIT format and loaded via JTAG using compatible debug probes such as Digilent HS2 or Xilinx Platform Cable USB.
