XC4000XL: 1996 DATA BOOK: Page 4-24 table 10.Supported Source for XC4000-Series Device Inputs is incorrect


Record #1575

Product Family: Hardware

Product Line: 4000EX

Product Part: 4000EX

Problem Title:
XC4000XL: 1996 DATA BOOK: Page 4-24 table 10.Supported Source for XC4000-Series Device Inputs is incorrect



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

Description

In the table it shows that, in order to have a 5V CMOS device sourcing a 3.3V CMOS device(specificly
  4000XL), it will require Vtt pin to 5V.


Solution 1:

That is incorrect, the new design puts an internal protection circuitry that can stand 5V CMOS input
  to 3.3V XL parts.
Therefore driving a 5V CMOS output into a 4000XL input (with
CMOS inputs specified) is not be a problem.
