Product details
Overview
XCR3256XL-10CSG280I from AMD is a 3.3 V, 10 ns propagation delay, 256-macrocell CPLD in a 280-pin CSBGA package, featuring in-system programmability and advanced low-power operation for logic consolidation in industrial control and communications interface modules.
For engineers reviewing the XCR3256XL-10CSG280I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include propagation delay, macrocell count, I/O voltage compatibility, JTAG boundary-scan support, and industrial temperature range operation.
Technical Context
The XCR3256XL-10CSG280I implements a fully decoded product-term architecture with 12 function blocks, each containing 32 macrocells and dedicated global clock, output enable, and set/reset controls. It supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan testing and in-system programming via the JTAG port.
Logic resources include 6,000 usable gates, 192 I/O pins with programmable slew rate and drive strength, and configurable I/O standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, and PCI. Internal timing is governed by a 10 ns tPD specification across the full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPLD-based logic consolidation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCR3256XL-12CSG280I | 12 ns propagation delay; otherwise identical architecture, pinout, and feature set. | Suitable where timing margin allows relaxed delay budget; lower power at same frequency due to reduced switching activity. | Select when system timing analysis confirms ≥12 ns slack on critical paths and lower static/dynamic power is prioritized. |
| XC95288XL-10TQG144I | 288 macrocells, 144-pin TQFP package, 10 ns tPD; lacks PCI compliance and has fewer I/Os (117). | Better for space-constrained designs needing higher logic density but not requiring PCI signaling or >192 I/Os. | Choose when board layout favors TQFP, macrocell count is primary constraint, and PCI interface is unnecessary. |
Compared with XCR3256XL-10CSG280I, the -12 variant trades 2 ns speed for measurable power reduction, while the XC95288XL offers more macrocells in smaller footprint but sacrifices I/O count, PCI compatibility, and BGA thermal performance-making XCR3256XL-10CSG280I optimal for high-I/O, thermally demanding industrial interfaces.
