Description
The XA9500XL 3.3V CPLD Automotive XA product family is
targeted for leading-edge, high-performance automotive
applications that require either automotive industrial (–40°C
to +85°C ambient) or extended (–40°C to +105°C ambient)
temperature reconfigurable devices.
Power Estimation
Power dissipation in CPLDs can vary substantially depend-
ing on the system frequency, design application and output
loading. Each macrocell in an XA9500XL automotive device
must be configured for low-power mode (default mode for
XA9500XL devices). In addition, unused product-terms and
macrocells are automatically deactivated by the software to
further conserve power.
For a general estimate of ICC, the following equation may be
used:
ICC(mA) = MC(0.052*PT + 0.272) + 0.04 * MCTOG*MC* f
where:
MC = # macrocells
PT = average number of product terms per macrocell
f = maximum clock frequency
MCTOG = average % of flip-flops toggling per clock
(~12%)
This calculation is based on typical operating conditions
using a pattern of 16-bit up/down counters in each Function
Block with no output loading. The actual ICC value varies
with the design application and should be verified during

Notes:
1. All automotive customers are required to set the Macrocell Power Setting to low, and set Logic Optimization to density.
2. Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress
ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those listed under Operating Conditions
is not implied. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Ratings conditions for extended periods of time may affect device reliability.
3. Maximum DC undershoot below GND must be limited to either 0.5V or 10 mA, whichever is easier to achieve. During transitions, the
device pins may undershoot to –2.0 V or overshoot to +7.0V, provided this over- or undershoot lasts less than 10 ns and with the
forcing current being limited to 200 mA.

XA9500XL Automotive Requirements and Recommendations
Requirements
The following requirements are for all automotive applica-
tions:
1. All automotive customers are required to keep the
Macrocell Power selection set to low, and the Logic
Optimization set to density when designing with ISE
software. These are the default settings when
XA9500XL devices are selected for design. These
settings are found on the Process Properties page for
Implement Design. See the ISE Online Help for details
on these properties.
2. Use a monotonic, fast ramp power supply to power up
XA9500XL . A VCC ramp time of less than 1 ms is
required.
3. Do not float I/O pins during device operation. Floating
I/O pins can increase ICC as input buffers will draw
1-2 mA per floating input. In addition, when I/O pins are
floated, noise can propagate to the center of the CPLD.
I/O pins should be appropriately terminated with
keeper/bus-hold. Unused I/Os can also be configured
as CGND (programmable GND).
4. Do not drive I/O pins without VCC/VCCIO powered.
5. Sink current when driving LEDs. Because all Xilinx
CPLDs have N-channel pull-down transistors on
outputs, it is required that an LED anode is sourced
through a resistor externally to VCC. Consequently, this
will give the brightest solution.
6. Avoid external pull-down resistors. Always use external
pull-up resistors if external termination is required. This
is because the XA9500XL Automotive CPLD, which
includes some I/O driving circuits beyond the input and
output buffers, may have contention with external
pull-down resistors, and, consequently, the I/O will not
switch as expected.

7. Do not drive I/Os pins above the VCCIO assigned to its
I/O bank.
a. The current flow can go into VCCIO and affect a user
voltage regulator.
b. It can also increase undesired leakage current
associated with the device.
c. If done for too long, it can reduce the life of the
device.
8. Do not rely on the I/O states before the CPLD
configures.
9. Use a voltage regulator which can provide sufficient
current during device power up. As a rule of thumb, the
regulator needs to provide at least three times the peak
current while powering up a CPLD in order to guarantee
the CPLD can configure successfully.
10. Ensure external JTAG terminations for TMS, TCK, TDI,
TDO comply with IEEE 1149.1. All Xilinx CPLDs have
internal weak pull-ups of ~50 kΩ on TDI, TMS, and
TCK.
11. Attach all CPLD VCC and GND pins in order to have
necessary power and ground supplies around the
CPLD.
12. Decouple all VCC and VCCIO pins with capacitors of
0.01 μF and 0.1 μF closest to the pins for each
VCC/VCCIO-GND pair.
Recommendations
The following recommendations are for all automotive appli-
cations.
1. Use strict synchronous design (only one clocking event)
if possible. A synchronous system is more robust than
an asynchronous one.
2. Include JTAG stakes on the PCB. JTAG stakes can be
used to test the part on the PCB. They add benefit in
reprogramming part on the PCB, inspecting chip
internals with INTEST, identifying stuck pins, and
inspecting programming patterns (if not secured).
3. XA9500XL Automotive CPLDs work with any power
sequence, but it is preferable to power the VCCI
(internal VCC) before the VCCIO for the applications in
which any glitches from device I/Os are unwanted.
4. Do not disregard report file warnings. Software
identifies potential problems when compiling, so the
report file is worth inspecting to see exactly how your
design is mapped onto the logic.
5. Understand the Timing Report. This report file provides
a speed summary along with warnings. Read the timing
file (*.tim) carefully. Analyze key signal chains to
determine limits to given clock(s) based on logic
analysis.
6. Review Fitter Report equations. Equations can be
shown in ABEL-like format, or can also be displayed in
Verilog or VHDL formats. The Fitter Report also
includes switch settings that are very informative of
other device behaviors.
7. Let design software define pinouts if possible. Xilinx
CPLD software works best when it selects the I/O pins
and manages resources for users. It can spread signals
around and improve pin-locking. If users must define
pins, plan resources in advance.
8. Perform a post-fit simulation for all speeds to identify
any possible problems (such as race conditions) that
might occur when fast-speed silicon is used instead of
slow-speed silicon.
9. Distribute SSOs (Simultaneously Switching Outputs)
evenly around the CPLD to reduce switching noise.
10. Terminate high speed outputs to eliminate noise caused
by very fast rising/falling edges.
