AMD XC3030-100PC68C

Overview

XC3030-100PC68C from Xilinx is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 100 configurable logic blocks (CLBs), 10×10 array architecture, 80 maximum flip-flops, and guaranteed 100 MHz toggle rate. It supports TTL/CMOS input thresholds, delivers 4 mA output drive, and operates at 4.5–5.5 V in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) for embedded control and logic replacement applications.

For engineers reviewing the XC3030-100PC68C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include CLB count, I/O count (up to 144), power-down current (80 µA), timing grade (–100 speed), and plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package compatibility with legacy XC3000 designs.

Technical Context

The XC3030-100PC68C implements a static CMOS-based logic cell array architecture with programmable interconnect points (PIPs) and configurable I/O blocks (IOBs) supporting registered or direct input/output paths. Its CLB contains five-input function generators, flip-flops with global reset, and dedicated clock routing via IK/OK pins.

Timing is defined by worst-case propagation delays including TPID (6 ns pad-to-direct-in), TOKPO (10 ns clock-to-pad fast), and TCKO (5 ns CLB clock-to-Q), all validated under industrial operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TJ = –40°C to +85°C) using MIL-M-38510/605 test methodology.

Manufacturer

Xilinx, Inc. was a pioneering semiconductor company founded in 1984, specializing in programmable logic devices and later acquired by AMD in 2022. It developed the first commercial FPGA architecture.

The XC3000 family was Xilinx's inaugural FPGA product line, designed specifically for logic replacement, subsystem integration, and prototyping in commercial and industrial systems where field-upgradability and gate-count flexibility were critical.

FAQ

What is the maximum guaranteed toggle frequency for XC3030-100PC68C?

The XC3030-100PC68C has a maximum guaranteed flip-flop toggle frequency of 100 MHz under industrial operating conditions (–40°C to +85°C junction temperature, VCC = 4.5–5.5 V). This value is derived from worst-case timing parameters including TCKO (5 ns) and validated per MIL-M-38510/605 test standards. Actual system performance depends on placement and routing implementation in the target design.

Does XC3030-100PC68C support both TTL and CMOS input thresholds?

Yes, XC3030-100PC68C supports programmable input thresholds: TTL mode (VIHT = 2.0 V, VILT = 0.8 V) and CMOS mode (VIHC = 70% VCC, VILC = 20% VCC). Configuration is done at bitstream generation time and applies per I/O bank. This dual-threshold capability allows seamless interfacing with mixed-voltage legacy systems without level-shifting components.

What is the power consumption of XC3030-100PC68C in Power-Down mode?

In Power-Down mode (PWRDWN = Low), XC3030-100PC68C draws 80 µA typical supply current at VCC = 5.5 V and TJ = +100°C. With Special Product Code SPC0107, this can be reduced to 2 µA at VCC = 3.2 V and 25°C - enabling ultra-low-power standby in battery-operated instrumentation where wake-up latency is acceptable.

Is XC3030-100PC68C pin-compatible with XC3030A-100PC68C?

Yes, XC3030-100PC68C is physically pin-compatible with XC3030A-100PC68C - both use identical 68-pin PLCC packaging and share the same pin functions, electrical characteristics, and mechanical footprint. However, XC3030A offers improved timing models and lower power-down current, making it the recommended choice for new designs per Xilinx documentation.

What package type does XC3030-100PC68C use, and what are its key mechanical features?

XC3030-100PC68C uses a 68-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (code PC68). It features a 25.4 mm × 25.4 mm body, J-lead configuration, and standard PLCC socket compatibility. The package supports reflow soldering with peak temperature up to +260°C for 10 seconds and is rated for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C ambient).
