Note: This product is being discontinued. You cannot
order parts after May 14, 2008. Xilinx recommends replac-
ing XC9572XV devices with equivalent XC9572XL devices
in all designs as soon as possible. Recommended replace-
ments are pin compatible, however require a V
CC
change to
3.3V, and a recompile of the design file. In addition, there is
no 1.8V I/O support. See XCN07010
for details regarding
this discontinuation, including device replacement
recomendations for the XC9572XV CPLD.

Description
The XC9572XV is a 2.5V CPLD targeted for high-perfor-
mance, low-voltage applications in leading-edge communi-
cations and computing systems. It is comprised of four
54V18 Function Blocks, providing 1,600 usable gates with
propagation delays of 5 ns.
Power Estimation
Power dissipation in CPLDs can vary substantially depend-
ing on the system frequency, design application and output
loading. To help reduce power dissipation, each macrocell
in a XC9500XV device may be configured for low-power
mode (from the default high-performance mode). In addi-
tion, unused product-terms and macrocells are automati-
cally deactivated by the software to further conserve power.
For a general estimate of I
CC
, the following equation may be
used:
P
TOTAL
= P
INT
+ P
IO
= I
CCINT
x V
CCINT
+ P
IO
Separating internal and I/O power here is convenient
because XC9500XV CPLDs also separate the correspond-
ing power pins. P
IO
is a strong function of the load capaci-
tance driven, so it is handled by I = CVf. I
CCINT
is another
situation that reflects the actual design considered and the
internal switching speeds. An estimation expression for
I
CCINT
(taken from simulation) is:
I
CCINT
(mA) = MC
HS
(0.122 X PT
HS
+ 0.238) + MC
LP
(0.042 x
PT
LP
+ 0.171) + 0.04(MC
HS
+ MC
LP
) x f
MAX
x MC
TOG
where:
MC
HS
= # macrocells used in high speed mode
MC
LP
= #macrocells used in low power mode
PT
HS
= average p-terms used per high speed macrocell
PT
LP
= average p-terms used over low power macrocell
f
MAX
= max clocking frequency in the device
MC
TOG
= % macrocells toggling on each clock (12% is
frequently a good estimate
This calculation was derived from laboratory measurements
of an XC9500XV part filled with 16-bit counters and allowing
a single output (the LSB) to be enabled. The actual I
CC
value varies with the design application and should be veri-
fied during normal system operation. Figure 1 shows the
above estimation in a graphical form. For a more detailed
discussion of power consumption in this device, see Xilinx
application note XAPP361, “Planning for High Speed
XC9500XV Designs.”
