XC4036EX-4HQ304C

The XC4036EX-4HQ304C is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from AMD in a 304-BFQFP exposed pad package. It integrates 3,078 logic elements, approximately 41,472 bits of on-chip RAM and up to 256 general-purpose I/O, providing a compact, configurable logic solution for commercial electronic designs.

Designed for 5 V systems (4.75 V to 5.25 V) and rated for commercial temperature operation (0 °C to 85 °C), this device is suited to a range of I/O‑intensive and custom-logic applications requiring moderate gate density and embedded RAM in a 40 × 40 mm 304-pin PQFP footprint.

Key Features

• Core Logic  3,078 logic elements enable implementation of custom combinational and sequential logic functions equivalent to the specified gate count.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 41,472 bits of on-chip RAM support local buffering, small lookup tables and state storage for control logic.
• I/O Capacity  Up to 256 I/O pins provide broad external connectivity for parallel interfaces, peripheral control and board-level integration.
• Gate Density  Specified for 36,000 gates, offering a quantifiable capacity for integrating multiple logic blocks and glue logic into a single device.
• Power  Operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply range, compatible with standard 5 V commercial systems.
• Package and Mounting  304-BFQFP exposed pad (304-PQFP, 40 × 40 mm) surface-mount package provides a high pin-count footprint with thermal pad for board-level thermal management.
• Operating Range and Grade  Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for modern manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Interface Control  Use the 256 I/O and programmable logic to implement parallel interface glue logic, custom bus masters/slaves and protocol converters.
• Embedded Control  Implement custom control state machines and device coordination in commercial equipment operating at standard 5 V logic levels.
• Prototyping and Development  Suitable for validating mid-density logic and memory architectures in a 304-pin PQFP package commonly used in development boards and evaluation platforms.
• Signal Aggregation and Glue Logic  Consolidate discrete logic functions and small data buffering into a single programmable device to reduce BOM and board complexity.

Unique Advantages

• Moderate Logic Capacity: 3,078 logic elements and a 36,000-gate equivalence enable implementation of substantial custom logic without moving to larger, more complex devices.
• On-chip RAM for Local Storage: Approximately 41,472 bits of embedded RAM allow localized buffering and table storage, reducing external memory requirements.
• High I/O Count: 256 I/O pins provide flexibility to connect multiple peripherals, sensors and buses directly to the device.
• Standard 5 V Compatibility: 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply range aligns with common commercial power rails, simplifying integration into existing systems.
• Compact High-Pin Package: 304-PQFP (40 × 40 mm) with exposed pad supports dense pin routing and board-level thermal considerations in surface-mount assemblies.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free manufacturing and regulatory compliance in commercial electronics production.

Why Choose XC4036EX-4HQ304C?

The XC4036EX-4HQ304C positions itself as a practical, mid-density FPGA option for commercial designs that require a balance of logic capacity, on-chip RAM and extensive I/O in a 304-pin PQFP package. Its 5 V supply compatibility and commercial temperature rating make it a straightforward choice for board-level integration in a wide range of non-industrial, non-automotive systems.

Engineers and procurement teams will find this AMD FPGA suitable for consolidating glue logic, implementing custom interface controllers, and prototyping embedded control functions where a measurable gate count, defined RAM capacity and a high I/O count are key selection criteria.
