Product details
Overview
XC9536XL-7CS48I from AMD (acquired by Xilinx) is a 36-macrocell CPLD in a 48-pin CSP package, with 7.5 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay, 5 V tolerant I/Os, and in-system programmable via JTAG. It targets glue logic replacement in industrial control and legacy interface bridging.
For engineers reviewing the XC9536XL-7CS48I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include macrocell count, propagation delay, I/O voltage tolerance, JTAG programmability, and CSP footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the XC9500XL family of high-performance, low-voltage CPLDs built on advanced CMOS technology. It implements registered and combinatorial logic using macrocells with configurable product-term architecture, and supports global and local clocking with up to four dedicated clock inputs.
The XC9536XL-7CS48I includes programmable power-down mode, slew-rate control per I/O pin, and IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG boundary-scan testing. Its architecture supports asynchronous reset and synchronous preset functions across all macrocells.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the XC9536XL-7CS48I?
The XC9536XL-7CS48I has a maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay of 7.5 ns, enabling reliable operation up to approximately 80 MHz for registered logic paths. Actual system frequency depends on design topology, clock routing, and macrocell utilization-verified timing analysis is required for critical paths. The XC9536XL-7CS48I does not specify a fixed maximum clock frequency but guarantees timing performance under defined loading and voltage conditions.
Does the XC9536XL-7CS48I require an external configuration PROM?
No, the XC9536XL-7CS48I contains on-chip non-volatile configuration memory and powers up in a configured state without external PROM. Configuration is retained after power cycling. The XC9536XL-7CS48I supports in-system programming via JTAG, eliminating the need for separate configuration devices or bootloading circuitry.
Is the XC9536XL-7CS48I compatible with Xilinx ISE software tools?
Yes, the XC9536XL-7CS48I is fully supported in Xilinx ISE Design Suite versions 10.1 through 14.7. Synthesis, fitting, and JTAG programming workflows for the XC9536XL-7CS48I are validated in these releases. Post-acquisition, AMD maintains legacy tool support for the XC9500XL family, including the XC9536XL-7CS48I.
What is the operating temperature range for the XC9536XL-7CS48I?
The XC9536XL-7CS48I is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is specified in the official Xilinx datasheet DS057 and applies to all electrical parameters unless otherwise noted. The XC9536XL-7CS48I meets this specification in its standard 48-pin CSP package with appropriate PCB thermal design.
Can the XC9536XL-7CS48I drive 5 V TTL loads directly?
Yes, the XC9536XL-7CS48I features 5 V-tolerant I/Os that can safely interface with 5 V TTL inputs and outputs. Its output drivers are designed to meet TTL voltage thresholds when powered from 3.3 V VCC, and input clamping diodes protect against overvoltage. This capability eliminates external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems using the XC9536XL-7CS48I.
