XC2C384-10PQ208I Features and Benefits
Ultra-Low Power Consumption
The XC2C384-10PQ208I CPLD utilizes advanced 0.18µm CMOS technology to deliver industry-leading power efficiency. With standby current as low as 22µA and innovative power management features, this device extends battery life in portable applications while maintaining high performance.
Advanced Interconnect Matrix (AIM)
The CoolRunner-II architecture features a low-power Advanced Interconnect Matrix that efficiently routes signals between the 24 function blocks. The AIM delivers 40 true and complement inputs to each function block, enabling complex logic implementations with minimal power overhead.
DataGATE Technology
DataGATE is an innovative power-saving feature that selectively disables CPLD inputs during inactive periods. By blocking input signal switching, designers can significantly reduce dynamic power consumption without sacrificing functionality.
CoolCLOCK Feature
The integrated clock divider and DualEDGE flip-flops combine to create the CoolCLOCK feature. This enables high-performance synchronous operation at lower clock frequencies, reducing overall power consumption while maintaining system performance.
