XC4036XL-1HQ240C

The XC4036XL-1HQ240C is a commercial-grade Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from AMD's XC4000E/X family. It delivers reconfigurable digital logic with on-chip RAM and a substantial I/O count for designs that require flexible, board-level programmable logic.

With approximately 3,078 logic elements, 41,472 bits of embedded RAM and 193 I/O pins, this surface-mount FPGA is suited to system designs that need mid-range logic density, integrated memory, and a compact 240-pin exposed-pad package.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 3,078 logic elements provide the programmable resources required for combinational and sequential logic implementations.
• Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs)  Logic fabric supporting medium-density designs (CLB count: 1,296 as specified for the device).
• On-chip Memory  Total embedded RAM of 41,472 bits for storing lookup tables, small buffers, and state information.
• I/O Capacity  193 user I/O pins to support parallel interfaces, signal routing and system-level interconnect.
• Logic Complexity  Equivalent to 36,000 gates for implementing a wide range of digital functions within a single device.
• Power and Voltage  Operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply range for standard 3.3 V system compatibility.
• Package and Mounting  240-BFQFP with exposed pad (supplier package: 240-PQFP, 32×32 mm) designed for surface-mount assembly and thermal/mechanical stability.
• Operating Temperature  Commercial temperature rating from 0 °C to 85 °C for typical commercial electronics environments.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant to meet common lead-free assembly requirements.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping and Development  Implements custom digital logic and system prototypes where reconfigurable hardware speeds validation and iterative design.
• Interface Bridging  Supports protocol conversion and glue-logic tasks using the device's 193 I/O pins and embedded logic resources.
• Control and Sequencing  Handles control algorithms, sequencing and state-machine tasks leveraging on-chip RAM and logic elements.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density:  Approximately 3,078 logic elements and 1,296 CLBs provide a middle ground between small CPLDs and larger FPGAs for cost-effective mid-complexity designs.
• On-Chip Memory:  41,472 bits of embedded RAM reduce the need for external memory for small buffers and LUT storage, simplifying BOM and board layout.
• High I/O Count:  193 I/O pins enable direct interfacing to multiple peripherals or parallel buses without extensive external glue logic.
• Standard Supply Voltage:  3.0 V to 3.6 V operation fits common 3.3 V system power rails for straightforward integration.
• Compact, Serviceable Package:  240-BFQFP exposed-pad package provides a high pin count in a 32×32 supplier footprint suitable for surface-mount production.
• Commercial Temperature Range:  Rated 0 °C to 85 °C for reliable operation in typical commercial electronic products.
