XC40054PQ160C

The Xilinx XC40054PQ160C is an obsolete Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the XC4000 Logic Cell Array Family. This device offers a flexible, programmable architecture with Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and Input/Output Blocks (IOBs).

Key specifications include 5K gates, 196 cells, and an operating frequency of 125MHz, utilizing CMOS technology. It requires a 5V operating voltage and is housed in a 160-pin PQFP package. The FPGA features abundant flip-flops, flexible function generators, on-chip ultra-fast RAM, and a dedicated high-speed carry-propagation circuit.

FPGAs like the XC40054PQ160C provide the benefits of custom VLSI without the high initial costs and long development times of traditional masked gate arrays. They are customized by loading configuration data into internal memory cells and can be reprogrammed an unlimited number of times, making them suitable for designs where hardware changes dynamically or needs adaptation to different applications.

This part is supported by sophisticated software tools for design entry, simulation, placement, routing, and configuration bit stream creation. Its architecture includes programmable logic blocks, I/O blocks, and programmable interconnects, offering generous routing resources for complex patterns.
