AMD XC9572XL-10CS48I

Overview

XC9572XL-10CS48I from AMD is a 72-macrocell CPLD featuring 5V-tolerant I/O, 10 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay, and in-system programmability via JTAG. It serves as a logic replacement for discrete TTL/SSI/MSI in industrial control panels requiring deterministic timing and reconfigurable glue logic.

For engineers reviewing the XC9572XL-10CS48I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include macrocell count, I/O voltage tolerance, propagation delay budget, JTAG compliance level, and package thermal profile for convection-cooled enclosures.

Technical Context

This device belongs to the XC9500XL family of high-performance, low-voltage CPLDs built on 0.35 µm CMOS technology. It implements complex combinational and registered logic using a unified function block architecture with 18 inputs per macrocell and shared expandable product-term logic.

Configuration is performed through IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG boundary-scan interface, supporting in-system programming without requiring external configuration PROMs. The device supports three operating voltage modes: 3.3 V core with 5 V-tolerant I/O, enabling direct interfacing with legacy 5 V logic.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the XC9572XL-10CS48I?

The XC9572XL-10CS48I guarantees a maximum pin-to-pin propagation delay of 10 ns, enabling reliable operation in synchronous logic paths up to 50 MHz. Actual system-level frequency depends on internal routing, register usage, and external loading-but the 10 ns specification ensures timing closure in standard industrial control clock domains without added wait states. The XC9572XL-10CS48I does not specify a single "maximum clock frequency" due to architecture-dependent path variation.

Does the XC9572XL-10CS48I require an external configuration PROM?

No, the XC9572XL-10CS48I supports in-system programming via its IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG interface and retains configuration in non-volatile flash memory. No external PROM or configuration device is required, simplifying board layout and reducing BOM count. The XC9572XL-10CS48I can be programmed and reprogrammed in-circuit using standard JTAG tools without power cycling or socketing.

Can the XC9572XL-10CS48I interface directly with 5 V logic components?

Yes, the XC9572XL-10CS48I features 5 V-tolerant I/O pins that accept 5 V input signals while operating from a 3.3 V core supply. This allows direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL, CMOS, or RS-232/RS-485 transceivers without level-shifting circuitry. The XC9572XL-10CS48I maintains full functionality and timing specifications under this mixed-voltage condition when VCCIO is set to 3.3 V.

What package type is used for the XC9572XL-10CS48I?

The XC9572XL-10CS48I is packaged in a 48-pin Chip-Scale Package (CSP) with 0.5 mm pitch and 6.0 mm × 6.0 mm body size. This compact, thermally efficient package supports high-density industrial PCB layouts and is compatible with standard reflow soldering processes. The XC9572XL-10CS48I CSP variant is distinct from TQFP or PLCC versions in the same family.

Is the XC9572XL-10CS48I suitable for automotive applications?

No, the XC9572XL-10CS48I is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is not qualified to AEC-Q100 or other automotive reliability standards. It lacks automotive-grade screening, extended temperature validation, and failure-in-time (FIT) data required for automotive ECUs. For automotive use, engineers should select AMD/Xilinx automotive-qualified CPLDs or FPGAs explicitly certified for vehicle environments. The XC9572XL-10CS48I remains appropriate for industrial, test, and commercial applications meeting its specified operating conditions.
