XCS10XL-4VQ100I Spartan-XL Field Programmable Gate Array IC 77 6272 466
The XCS10XL-4VQ100I from Xilinx (now part of AMD) is a member of the Spartan-XL family of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), designed as a high-volume, cost-effective solution for ASIC replacement and complex digital logic implementation . Housed in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) with a 14x14mm footprint, this device is built on a mature, streamlined architecture derived from the successful XC4000 series . It features 466 logic cells (or 196 Configurable Logic Blocks - CLBs) and 6,272 bits of distributed on-chip RAM, providing a logic capacity equivalent to approximately 10,000 system gates . The FPGA operates from a 3.3V core supply (3V to 3.6V range) with 5V-tolerant I/Os, supports a maximum internal clock frequency of up to 166 MHz, and is rated for an extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C (junction) .
The XCS10XL-4VQ100I is engineered for applications requiring customizable digital logic where the cost and risk of a full-custom ASIC are prohibitive. Its primary historical uses were in telecommunications equipment for protocol bridging, signal processing, and interface logic . It was also widely deployed in industrial automation and control systems for PLCs, motor control, and data acquisition, leveraging its reliability and extended temperature range . Furthermore, it found applications in consumer electronics (such as set-top boxes and digital controllers), automotive electronics for auxiliary control modules, and medical devices for real-time data processing and equipment control .
