Product details
Overview
XC9536XL-5VQG44C from AMD is a 36-macrocell CPLD featuring 5 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay, 100% IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan testability, and in-system programmability via JTAG interface. It operates at 3.3 V supply and targets glue logic replacement in industrial control and communication interface designs.
For engineers reviewing the XC9536XL-5VQG44C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include macrocell count, propagation delay, JTAG compliance, I/O voltage tolerance, and VQFP package compatibility with legacy XC9500XL designs.
Technical Context
The XC9536XL-5VQG44C implements a fully decoded product-term architecture with local and global interconnect resources, supporting up to 36 user-defined macrocells per device. Each macrocell includes a configurable flip-flop with synchronous or asynchronous reset/set and clock enable.
It uses a non-volatile EEPROM-based configuration memory, enabling single-chip operation without external boot PROMs. The device supports hot-swap compliant I/Os with 3.3 V LVTTL/LVCMOS levels and programmable slew rate control on all outputs.
Key Specifications
