QFP Converter Enables Xilinx Upgrades

The DC-QFP/PLCC84-J-01 Xilinx device converter allows the use of an upgraded, system programmable Xilinx CPLD on previous generation system boards. Users can solder the converter directly onto the SMT PLCC pads using standard solder methods. The component consists of a footprint and pin-out conversion multi layer PCB with a true j-lead adapter for SMT processing. The DC-QFP/PLCC84-J-01 accepts an XC95216 CPLD on the top and converts pin mapping to an XC95108 CPLD. Single-unit pricing for the DC-QFP/PLCC84-J-01 is $136. IRONWOOD ELECTRONICS, Burnsville, MN.
