XC4013-5PQ240I

The Xilinx XC4013-5PQ240I is a member of the XC4000 family of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). These devices provide the advantages of custom VLSI without the high initial costs and long development times associated with traditional masked gate arrays. The XC4000 architecture is based on Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) interconnected by a flexible routing hierarchy and surrounded by programmable Input/Output Blocks (IOBs).

This specific device, the XC4013-5PQ240I, features 13000 logic cells and 130000 system gates, with support for up to 240 I/O pins. It operates at a voltage of 5V. The FPGA is configured by loading data into internal memory cells, which can be done via external serial or byte-parallel PROM in master modes, or written directly into the FPGA in slave and peripheral modes.

The XC4000 family is supported by comprehensive design software, covering schematic entry, simulation, placement, routing, and bitstream generation. The reprogrammable nature of FPGAs allows for dynamic hardware changes and adaptation to different user applications, making them ideal for shortening design cycles and cost-effective for high-volume production.

The XC4013-5PQ240I comes in a PQFP-240 package and is designed for surface mounting.
