Description
The XCR3256XL is a 3.3V, 256 macrocell CPLD targeted at
power sensitive designs that require leading edge program-
mable logic solutions. A total of 16 function blocks provide
6,000 usable gates. Pin-to-pin propagation delays are
7.5 ns with a maximum system frequency of 140 MHz.
TotalCMOS Design Technique for Fast
Zero Power
Xilinx offers a TotalCMOS CPLD, both in process technol-
ogy and design technique. Xilinx employs a cascade of
CMOS gates to implement its sum of products instead of
the traditional sense amp approach. This CMOS gate imple-
mentation allows Xilinx to offer CPLDs that are both high
performance and low power, breaking the paradigm that to
have low power, you must have low performance. Refer to
