XC9572-15PC44C - 72-Macrocell 5V CPLD | AMD PLCC
The AMD XC9572-15PC44C is a 72-macrocell in-system programmable complex programmable logic device with 34 user I/O pins, approximately 1,600 gates, and a 15 ns speed grade in a 44-pin PLCC package. It operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V internal supply and is based on Advanced CMOS 5 V FastFLASH technology. A CPLD is a programmable-logic semiconductor that combines a structured array of logic macrocells with a nonvolatile configuration memory. In the hierarchy of programmable devices, a CPLD sits between simple programmable logic arrays and more complex FPGAs: unlike mask-programmed logic, it can be configured after manufacture, while unlike most FPGAs it typically provides predictable routing and timing across its macrocell architecture. This makes the XC9500 family useful for consolidating fixed control, interface, and glue logic into one package. The XC9572 provides four logic-element blocks, 72 macrocells, and 34 user I/O pins. Its -15 designation corresponds to a 15 ns maximum propagation-delay class, while the product data also identifies the family as supporting parallel programming of multiple XC9500 devices. In-system programmability permits configuration through the same board connectors used by the finished system, reducing assembly work compared with separately programmed nonvolatile memory. Advanced CMOS 5 V FastFLASH technology stores the configuration nonvolatily and supports at least 10,000 program/erase cycles according to the retrieved specifications. The 5 V supply requirement and 44-pin J-lead PLCC construction distinguish this device from modern low-voltage, fine-pitch FPGA packages. That package is intended for legacy and maintenance-oriented industrial hardware rather than new compact portable products. Typical uses include industrial control logic, legacy interface adapters, programmable test fixtures, and board-level control systems where 34 I/O pins and deterministic logic blocks are more useful than a large general-purpose FPGA. Existing XC9500 designs can also retain the same configuration ecosystem while reducing the number of separate logic devices. The primary design consideration is package and supply continuity. The 44-pin PLCC footprint is not a modern board-standard land pattern, and the XC9500 family is legacy technology that is not recommended for new hardware designs. Engineers should preserve the existing footprint, verify timing at the required voltage and temperature, and plan configuration-cable, programming-software, and obsolescence continuity before committing to production quantities. This page consolidates the verified device specifications, manufacturer datasheet identity, distributor availability links, legacy-family context, and qualified drop-in comparison points so engineers can distinguish genuine replacements from parts that merely share the broad CPLD category.
XC9572-15PC44I - 72-Macrocell 15 ns CPLD | Xilinx
Xilinx Inc. XC9572-15PC44I is an Advanced CMOS 5 V Fast FLASH in-system programmable CPLD with 72 macrocells, 34 I/O lines, and a 15 ns speed grade in a 44-LCC J-lead package. The device supports parallel programming of multiple XC9500 devices and is specified for industrial-temperature operation. According to the manufacturer data sheet, the XC9500 family provides 5 ns pin-to-pin logic delays and counting frequencies up to 125 MHz across its available density and speed grades. A CPLD, or complex programmable logic device, is a user-programmable semiconductor that combines programmable logic structures with configuration memory. Within the programmable-logic hierarchy, a CPLD sits between simple programmable logic arrays and higher-capacity FPGAs. The XC9500 family uses Fast FLASH architecture to retain configuration data and support in-system programming, allowing logic designs to be loaded or updated without removing the device from a circuit. The XC9572-15PC44I provides 72 macrocells and 34 I/O lines, making it suitable for consolidating control logic, interface adaptation, state machines, and fixed protocol functions. Its 15 ns speed designation identifies the timing grade, while the family-level 5 ns pin-to-pin delay provides a basis for high-speed signal-path implementation. Fast FLASH technology and parallel programming support also simplify multi-device configuration or manufacturing workflows. The XC9500 architecture is organized around macrocells connected through a programmable switch matrix. Each I/O can be assigned appropriate logic or I/O functions, allowing a single device to replace multiple conventional logic devices. Because configuration is nonvolatile, the programmed behavior remains available after power is removed without requiring configuration SRAM to be refreshed by an external controller. Typical applications include industrial control logic, instrumentation, communications interface logic, test equipment, embedded systems, and legacy peripheral expansion. The industrial temperature grade is appropriate for controlled industrial equipment, while the 44-LCC package offers a through-hole-compatible option for systems assembled with leaded components rather than fine-pitch surface-mount packages. When replacing this CPLD, verify the package pinout, macrocell density, I/O voltage, temperature grade, and timing grade before substitution. Faster speed-grade variants may provide timing margin, but they can change power characteristics and should not be assumed equivalent without design-level timing review. This page consolidates verified manufacturer specifications, distributor availability, same-family drop-in candidates, pricing status, pinout availability, and practical replacement guidance. It separates confirmed XC9572-15PC44I data from family-level limits and identifies missing commercial and mechanical details rather than estimating them.
XC9572-7PQ100C - 72-Macrocell 7.5 ns CPLD | AMD Xilinx
AMD Xilinx XC9572-7PQ100C is a 72-macrocell, 5 V in-system programmable complex programmable logic device in a 100-pin QFP package. It provides 72 I/O, 1,600 usable gates, a maximum pin-to-pin delay of 7.5 ns, and a stated fCNT of up to 125 MHz. The device uses Advanced CMOS 5V FastFLASHTM technology, supports parallel programming of multiple XC9500 devices, and provides at least 10,000 program/erase cycles. A CPLD is a configurable logic device that combines macrocell-based programmable logic, user-programmable interconnect, and nonvolatile configuration memory. Within the product hierarchy, the XC9572-7PQ100C is a CPLD, a member of the XC9500 programmable logic family, and a 5 V logic semiconductor intended for general-purpose logic integration. Its in-system programmability permits configuration through the assembled PCB rather than requiring a separate programming operation before insertion. Key features include 72 macrocells, 72 I/O, four function blocks, 1,600 gates, and pin-to-pin logic delays specified down to 7.5 ns for this speed grade. The flexible 36V18 function block allows 90 product terms to drive any or all 18 macrocells within each block. The device also supports enhanced pin locking and programming over the full commercial voltage and temperature range. The Advanced CMOS 5V FastFLASHTM architecture provides a practical combination of nonvolatile configuration storage, predictable logic performance, and repeatable in-system programming. A system designer can use the CPLD for interface translation, control logic, bus arbitration, state-machine implementation, glue logic, and prototype logic consolidation. The 100-pin package provides more I/O than smaller XC9500 packages while retaining a conventional surface-mount form factor. Typical applications include industrial control systems, instrumentation interfaces, communications equipment, test and measurement products, and embedded control platforms. It is particularly useful when a design requires frequent field updates, nonvolatile configuration retention, or a compact replacement for multiple individually packaged logic elements. When designing around the XC9572-7PQ100C, verify the 4.75 V to 5.25 V internal supply range, respect the commercial temperature and timing limits, and confirm the exact 100-pin footprint and signal assignments against the manufacturer datasheet. Programming-file generation and device programming must also use tools supporting the legacy XC9500 architecture.
XC9572XL - 3.3V 72-Macrocell CPLD 5ns | Xilinx AMD
The Xilinx (now AMD) XC9572XL is a 3.3V high-performance CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) providing 1,600 usable gates, 72 macrocells, and a worst-case pin-to-pin propagation delay of 5 ns, housed in low-profile VQFP packages such as the 44-pin VQ44 and 64-pin VQ64. A CPLD is a type of programmable logic device that sits between simple PLDs and FPGAs in the programmable logic hierarchy. Unlike FPGAs, which use look-up tables and volatile configuration memory, CPLDs use macrocell-based sum-of-products architecture with nonvolatile program storage, delivering deterministic, pin-to-pin timing and instant-on operation at power-up. This makes CPLDs the workhorse choice for glue logic, bus interfacing, and power-sequencing control in embedded systems. The XC9572XL is comprised of four 54V18 Function Blocks, each containing 18 macrocells. Key features include 3.3V core operation targeted at high-performance, low-voltage applications in leading-edge communications and computing systems; industry-leading pin-locking capability through a switch matrix that routes flexibly; and multiple speed grades (-5, -7, -10) so designers can trade speed against cost. Individual output enables and slew-rate-limited outputs ease 3.3V bus interfacing. Architecturally, every macrocell is a registered or combinational function generator with product-term allocation, allowing dense state machines without wasting resources. Because configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory across the XC9500XL family, no external boot flash or configuration controller is required, simplifying BOM and board design compared with SRAM-based FPGAs. Typical applications include address decoding and glue logic in embedded processors, bus bridging and interfacing in communications equipment, power-up reset and sequencing control, industrial I/O expansion, and legacy system life-cycle extensions where deterministic timing matters. Design-wise, use the -5 speed grade only where the 5 ns timing is genuinely needed; the -10 grade offers the best value for most glue-logic tasks. Note that design entry requires the legacy Xilinx ISE toolchain, which no longer runs natively on modern Windows. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives across speed grades and packages, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet DS057.
XC9572XL-10VQG64C - 72-Macrocell 10ns CPLD | AMD/Xilinx
The AMD/Xilinx XC9572XL-10VQG64C is a 3.3V, 10ns pin-to-pin delay, 72-macrocell high-performance CPLD housed in a 64-pin VQFP (VQG64) package. It is built on the 2.5V XC9500XL family architecture, providing four 54V18 Function Blocks (FBs) that deliver 1,600 usable gates with predictable, JTAG-programmable logic and 100,000 program/erase cycles endurance. The device targets glue-logic and bus-interface functions where deterministic timing and instant-on (in-system programmable via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG) replace discrete 74-series logic. A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a non-volatile, instant-on programmable logic device whose architecture is a sea of macrocells backed by a programmable interconnect matrix. In the system hierarchy, a CPLD sits below an FPGA (typically lower density but lower power and no configuration time) and above discrete SSI/MSI gates. CPLDs are routinely used as interface bridges, address decoders, state machines, and power-up sequencers in designs that need predictable timing in a single device. Key features of the XC9572XL-10VQG64C include 72 macrocells, 1,600 usable gates, 4 ns internal timing with 10 ns pin-to-pin (tPD) at 3.3V, 34 user I/O pins (64-pin VQFP), 5V-tolerant I/O with 3.3V core, and In-System Programmable (ISP) via JTAG. The XC9500XL family uses 5V tolerant I/O on a 3.3V core for mixed-voltage board designs. The device is specified over the commercial 0C to +70C ambient range (C suffix), with an industrial -40C to +85C option available as XC9572XL-10VQG64I. Architecturally, each Function Block contains 18 macrocells, 54 product terms, and a sum term allocated from a global pool, with the IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan chain extending across all I/O pins. Per datasheet DS057, the Fast CONNECT switch matrix provides 100% connectivity to every FB output, enabling deterministic place-and-route timing. The I/O blocks support 5V tolerant inputs, 24 mA drive, slew-rate control, and per-pin user I/O standards. Typical applications include bus-interface bridging, address decoding, power-up logic sequencing, and I/O expansion in telecom line cards, industrial controllers, and embedded computing platforms. Because of its 5V tolerant I/O on a 3.3V core, the XC9572XL-10VQG64C is well suited to legacy systems that mix 5V peripherals with 3.3V ASICs. Designers also use it as an FPGA configuration PROM companion or as a power-sequencer for multi-rail designs. When designing with this part, ensure the JTAG TMS, TCK, TDI, and TDO pins are reserved and pulled appropriately, and provide a clean VCCAUX 3.3V rail because all outputs are powered from VCCIO while the core runs from VCCINT. Verify pin-compatibility across the family when migrating density, since the XC9536XL, XC9572XL, and XC95144XL share a footprint family plan across the 44-, 64-, and 100-pin VQFP/TQFP packages. This page synthesizes distributor stock and lead-time data, pin-compatible XC9500XL alternatives, and practical glue-logic design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone.

When designing with the FBVA676 BGA, plan for high-density PCB fabrication with microvia or via-in-pad stackups, controlled-impedance traces for transceivers, and robust power distribution with high-frequency decoupling to satisfy simultaneous switching noise (SSN) requirements. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, FPGA drop-in alternatives within the same 676-BGA footprint, and practical design notes not typically presented in the manufacturer datasheet.
XCKU040-2FFVA1156I - Kintex UltraScale FPGA 520 I/O | AMD
The AMD XCKU040-2FFVA1156I is a Kintex UltraScale FPGA with 520 user I/O, 21,606,000 system logic capacity, 530,250 DSP-equivalent resource units, speed grade -2, in a 1156-ball FCBGA package rated for industrial temperatures of -40C to +100C. A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device containing a fabric of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), DSP slices, block RAM, and programmable interconnect that designers configure after manufacturing. Within the power-management hierarchy of digital system ICs, an FPGA sits at the top of the programmable logic taxonomy: programmable logic device (PLD) -> FPGA -> system-on-chip FPGA. FPGAs are used where custom logic, parallelism, or post-deployment reconfigurability is required that fixed-function ASICs or microcontrollers cannot provide. Key features of the XCKU040-2FFVA1156I include the 20nm UltraScale architecture, which lowers total power consumption versus the previous 28nm 7-series generation, a -2 speed grade for high-performance designs, and an industrial (I-suffix) temperature rating of -40C to +100C.

The device supports DDR4-2400 with on-chip ECC and offers hardware-rooted security via bitstream encryption and authentication using AES-256 and RSA-2048. The 676-ball FCBGA package has a body size of 27 mm × 27 mm with a 1.0 mm ball pitch, suitable for high-density PCB designs using standard BGA assembly. Typical applications span high-performance digital signal processing, 100G Ethernet network interface cards, 4K/8K video processing pipelines, test and measurement instrumentation, software-defined radio (SDR), and radar/EW front-end processing. The combination of high-speed transceivers and abundant DSP resources makes it a strong fit for low-latency, line-rate processing in both wired and wireless infrastructure. When designing with the XCKU3P-1FFVB676E, allocate at least eight PCB layers with continuous GND planes and matched-length pairs for transceivers; the package's 1.0 mm pitch requires HDI stack-ups (microvias). The extended (E) temperature grade supports -40 °C to +100 °C junction, and designers must respect the 2.0 W/cm² package thermal envelope with adequate airflow or heatsinking for sustained workloads. Vivado Design Suite is required for implementation.

The AMD XCKU5P-2FFVB676I is a Kintex UltraScale+ Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 474,600 logic cells, 280 user I/Os, and 41,984,000 bits of block RAM, housed in a 676-ball FCBGA (FFVB676) package rated for the industrial temperature range. An FPGA is an integrated circuit that designers configure after manufacturing - hence field-programmable. FPGAs sit within the programmable logic device (PLD) family alongside CPLDs and form the heart of modern adaptive computing systems, providing arrays of programmable logic blocks, routing fabric, and I/O banks that enable highly parallel hardware acceleration. They are frequently used where ASIC cost or inflexibility cannot be justified. Key features of the XCKU5P include support for 725 MHz internal clocking, MMCM and PLL clock-management tiles, and core operation from 825 mV to 876 mV. The -2 speed grade balances maximum fabric performance against dynamic power, and the industrial rating (-40C to +100C junction) suits harsh deployments. Technically, the Kintex UltraScale+ family is built on a 16nm FinFET process delivering approximately 1.5x better performance-per-watt than the previous 20nm UltraScale generation. The device integrates high-speed serial transceivers, PCIe Gen3/4 hard blocks, and 100G Ethernet MAC capability, supporting high-bandwidth connectivity and partial reconfiguration for dynamic logic updates without system power-down. Typical applications include wired and wireless communications infrastructure, data center acceleration, video and image processing, and aerospace and defense systems where logic density plus low power are decisive. Designers should pay careful attention to power integrity: the 0.85 V typical core rail demands a clean, low-noise supply with dedicated power planes and extensive decoupling, and thermal dissipation under high utilization must be budgeted via the FCBGA thermal path.

XCVU9P-2FLGA2104I - Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA | AMD/Xilinx
The AMD XCVU9P-2FLGA2104I is a Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA delivering 416 user I/O, 3,911,680 Kb of block RAM capacity and 2,586,150 CLB flip-flops in a 2104-ball FCBGA (FLGA2104) package, with the -2I industrial speed grade rated for -40C to +100C operation. It targets high-performance digital designs that need massive parallel processing, on-chip memory, and high-speed serial connectivity. A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a reconfigurable integrated circuit whose logic fabric, memory, and interconnect are programmed after manufacturing. Within the semiconductor hierarchy, FPGAs sit alongside ASICs and ASSPs as core system logic devices, and the Virtex UltraScale+ family is AMD Xilinx's flagship programmable logic line for leading-edge compute, networking, and aerospace systems. Key features include the 16nm FinFET UltraScale+ fabric, the -2 speed grade optimized for high clock frequencies, and 416 package I/O for wide external buses. The device's block RAM and UltraRAM resources (up to 270 Mb UltraRAM cited in application literature) support deep buffering for packet processing and machine learning pipelines. Architecturally, the Virtex UltraScale+ family combines CLB logic, DSP48E2 slices, block RAM, UltraRAM, and GTY multi-gigabit transceivers (52 package GTY channels cited for this device) on a single die, enabling deterministic, low-latency implementations such as hardware trading paths and 5G fronthaul. The 2104-ball FCBGA packaging provides the power and signal integrity required at these data rates. Typical applications include 5G wireless baseband, data center acceleration, AI inference, and low-latency financial trading, all of which exploit the fabric's parallelism and transceiver bandwidth. Industrial and aerospace systems also use the -I industrial temperature variant for extended thermal environments. Design consideration: plan power distribution and decoupling for the multiple VCCINT/VCCO rails early, and use AMD Xilinx Vivado for synthesis and implementation - the -2I speed grade files are required for correct timing closure.
