Product details
Overview
XC9536XL-7VQG64C from AMD (acquired by Xilinx) is a 36-macrocell CPLD in VQFP-64 package, with 7.5 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay, 5 V tolerant I/Os, and in-system programmable via JTAG. It serves as logic replacement in industrial control interface modules.
For engineers reviewing the XC9536XL-7VQG64C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include macrocell count, propagation delay, I/O voltage tolerance, JTAG programmability, and VQFP-64 thermal/mechanical fit in legacy PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the XC9500XL family of high-performance, low-voltage CPLDs built on 0.35 µm CMOS technology. It integrates 36 macrocells across two function blocks, each with dedicated product-term sharing and sum-of-products logic.
The architecture supports up to 80 product terms per macrocell, configurable output polarity, and global/local clocking with four dedicated clock inputs. All I/O pins support 5 V-tolerant operation while core runs at 3.3 V.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XC9536XL-7VQG64C?
The XC9536XL-7VQG64C supports a maximum system frequency of 133 MHz, derived from its 7.5 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay and internal timing characteristics. This frequency applies to synchronous logic paths with proper clock routing and load conditions. The actual achievable frequency depends on design topology, fan-out, and PCB trace length, but the device is characterized and guaranteed to meet 133 MHz timing in worst-case commercial conditions.
Does XC9536XL-7VQG64C require external configuration memory?
No, XC9536XL-7VQG64C contains non-volatile EEPROM-based configuration memory and powers up fully operational without external PROM or flash.
