Key Features & Benefits
Ultra-Low Power Architecture
The CoolRunner-II architecture delivers industry-leading power efficiency with standby current as low as 16µA and total power consumption of just 28.8µW. CoolCLOCK technology reduces dynamic power by gating unused clock networks.
High-Performance Operation
With system frequencies up to 159 MHz and pin-to-pin delays of 6.7ns, the XC2C64A-7VQ44I delivers the speed required for demanding applications while maintaining low power consumption.
DataGATE Technology
Unique DataGATE feature allows designers to selectively disable input switching to further reduce power consumption, ideal for battery-powered and portable applications.
Flexible I/O Banking
Two independent I/O banks support multiple voltage standards (1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V) simultaneously, enabling seamless interface with diverse system components.
In-System Programmability
IEEE 1149.1/1532 JTAG-compliant programming interface enables in-system programming, boundary scan testing, and on-the-fly (OTF) reconfiguration without removing the device from the board.
Instant-On Non-Volatile
Non-volatile configuration storage ensures the device is operational immediately upon power-up with no external configuration memory required.
Target Applications
The XC2C64A-7VQ44I CPLD is designed for a wide range of applications across multiple industries:
Consumer Electronics: Portable devices, handheld equipment, wearables, and battery-powered systems requiring minimal power consumption.
