AMD XC9572XL-7CSG48C

Overview

XC9572XL-7CSG48C from AMD is a 72-macrocell CPLD in a 48-pin CSP package, operating at 7 ns propagation delay with 5 V tolerant I/O and in-system programmability via JTAG. It serves as a logic replacement for discrete TTL/SSI/MSI in industrial control sequencers requiring deterministic timing.

For engineers reviewing the XC9572XL-7CSG48C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include macrocell count, ISP capability, JTAG compliance, I/O voltage tolerance, and propagation delay under industrial temperature conditions.

Technical Context

This device belongs to the XC9500XL family of high-performance CPLDs built on 0.35 µm CMOS technology. It features 72 macrocells organized into 4 function blocks, each with 18 macrocells and dedicated product-term sharing.

The architecture supports both combinational and registered logic outputs, with global clock, output enable, and set/reset controls per function block. All I/O pins support hot-swap protection and slew-rate control.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XC9572XL-7CSG48C?

The XC9572XL-7CSG48C supports a maximum system frequency of 125 MHz, derived from its 7 ns propagation delay specification. This allows reliable operation in synchronous designs such as state machines and address decoders where setup and hold times are met under worst-case industrial temperature and voltage conditions. The actual achievable frequency depends on logic depth and routing congestion in the implemented design.

Does XC9572XL-7CSG48C require an external configuration PROM?

No, XC9572XL-7CSG48C does not require an external configuration PROM because it uses in-system programmable flash technology. Configuration data is stored internally and retained without power. Programming is performed via JTAG using standard tools like Xilinx IMPACT or third-party compatible programmers, eliminating the need for additional memory components or bootstrapping circuitry.

Can XC9572XL-7CSG48C operate with mixed I/O voltage levels on the same device?

XC9572XL-7CSG48C supports only a single VCCIO supply at 3.3 V, though all I/O pins are 5 V tolerant. It does not support true mixed-voltage operation-i.e., different I/O banks cannot be assigned to different voltage domains. However, the 5 V tolerance allows safe interfacing with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic families simultaneously without external level shifters.

Is XC9572XL-7CSG48C RoHS compliant?

Yes, XC9572XL-7CSG48C is RoHS compliant and lead-free, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The CSP package uses matte tin finish on solder balls and contains no restricted substances above threshold limits. Full compliance documentation is available in AMD's official product change notices and material declarations.

What development software supports XC9572XL-7CSG48C design entry and programming?

XC9572XL-7CSG48C is supported by Xilinx WebPACK ISE 14.7 and earlier versions, including schematic capture, ABEL and VHDL synthesis, place-and-route, and JTAG programming. Third-party tools such as Lattice Diamond (via import) and open-source HDL flows targeting JEDEC file generation are also compatible, provided they produce IEEE 1532-compliant programming data.
