XC4036XL-3HQ160C

The XC4036XL-3HQ160C is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) device from AMD's XC4000E/X family, delivered in a 160-pin BQFP package with exposed pad. It provides on-chip programmable logic, embedded RAM and a broad set of general-purpose I/O for implementing custom digital logic functions in commercial-temperature designs.

Key Features

• Core Logic  3078 logic elements and 36,000 equivalent gates provide programmable combinational and sequential resources for custom digital designs.
• Embedded Memory  41,472 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.041 Mbits) to store state, buffers or small lookup tables without external memory.
• I/O Density  129 general-purpose I/O pins enable connectivity to peripherals, interfaces and parallel buses.
• Voltage and Power  Operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply range, matching common commercial logic power rails.
• Package & Mounting  160-BQFP exposed pad (supplier package listed as 160-PQFP, 28 × 28 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB integration and improved thermal conduction.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial temperature rating of 0 °C to 85 °C; RoHS-compliant material and assembly.

Typical Applications

• Digital Logic Prototyping  Implement and iterate custom finite-state machines, glue logic and algorithm acceleration using the device's programmable logic and embedded RAM.
• I/O-Intensive Interfaces  Use the 129 available I/O pins to concentrate multiple parallel or serial interfaces on a single programmable device.
• Embedded Control and Signal Processing  Deploy the on-chip logic and memory to realize control loops, data path processing and protocol handling within a compact surface-mount package.

Unique Advantages

• Moderate Logic Capacity: 3078 logic elements and 36,000 gates enable mid-level custom digital implementations without external CPLDs or ASICs.
• On-Chip RAM Resources: 41,472 bits of embedded memory reduce dependency on external RAM for small buffers and lookup tables, simplifying board design.
• High I/O Count: 129 I/O pins support complex interfacing requirements and consolidate multiple signals into a single device.
• Standard Supply Compatibility: 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply range aligns with common commercial logic voltages for easy power-system integration.
• Surface-Mount 160-BQFP Package: The exposed-pad 160-pin package (supplier: 160-PQFP, 28 × 28 mm) delivers a compact footprint and improved thermal path for PCB-mounted designs.
• RoHS-Compliant and Commercial Grade: Meets RoHS requirements and is rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation for standard commercial applications.

Why Choose XC4036XL-3HQ160C?

The XC4036XL-3HQ160C positions itself as a commercial-grade FPGA option for designs that require a balance of programmable logic, embedded memory and substantial I/O in a compact surface-mount package. Its combination of approximately 3078 logic elements, 41,472 bits of on-chip RAM and 129 I/O pins makes it suitable for midsize digital systems where integration, board-space efficiency and RoHS compliance matter.

This FPGA is appropriate for engineers and procurement teams building or iterating custom digital designs—where predictable supply-voltage requirements (3.0–3.6 V), a 160-pin exposed-pad package and commercial-temperature operation are key selection criteria.
