Product details
Overview
XC3030A-7PC84C from AMD is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) featuring 3000 usable gates, 84-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package, -7 speed grade (15 ns propagation delay), and commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). It serves as a reconfigurable logic fabric for digital control and interface bridging in legacy industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the XC3030A-7PC84C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count scalability, PLCC socket compatibility, timing budget margin at 15 ns, and legacy Xilinx 3000A family toolchain support.
Technical Context
The XC3030A-7PC84C implements a configurable logic block (CLB) architecture with four-input lookup tables (LUTs), dedicated carry logic for arithmetic, and programmable interconnect matrix. It supports synchronous and asynchronous reset, global clock routing, and three-state bus interfacing.
Configuration is performed via serial mode using an external PROM or parallel mode through a microprocessor bus interface. The device requires a single 5 V supply and does not integrate on-chip voltage regulation or configuration memory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gates | 3000 usable gates - defines maximum combinational logic density for state machine or glue logic replacement |
| Speed Grade | -7 = 15 ns tPD - sets worst-case path delay for timing closure in 66 MHz synchronous designs |
| Package | 84-pin PLCC - enables socket-based prototyping and field-replaceable deployment in industrial backplanes |
| Temperature Range | 0°C to 70°C - qualifies for commercial-grade embedded systems without forced cooling |
| Voltage Supply | 5.0 V ±5% - mandates standard TTL-compatible power rail; no internal regulation or multi-voltage support |
| I/O Pins | 77 user I/O - provides sufficient signals for parallel bus interfaces (e.g., ISA, VME) and discrete control lines |
Pinout & Package
XC3030A-7PC84C is housed in an 84-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) with J-leads, 25.4 mm × 25.4 mm body size, and 1.27 mm pitch. The package supports zero-insertion-force (ZIF) socket mounting and manual rework.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PIN 1 | Ground (GND) | Primary reference for all I/O and core logic; must be low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane |
| PIN 2–78 | User I/O | Configurable bidirectional pins supporting TTL/CMOS levels; each includes programmable pull-up and slew rate control |
| PIN 79 | VCC | Main 5 V supply input; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per power pin pair |
| PIN 80–84 | Configuration & Clock | Includes INIT, PROGRAM, CCLK, DIN, DONE - used exclusively during SRAM bitstream loading sequence |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SRAM-based configuration | Enables in-system reprogramming via serial or parallel mode; requires external nonvolatile PROM for power-on restore |
| Dedicated carry chain | Supports fast ripple-carry arithmetic up to 32-bit width without consuming CLB resources |
| Global clock buffer | Provides low-skew distribution of one primary clock signal across entire logic array |
| Three-state I/O control | Allows direct connection to shared data buses without external transceivers or bus switches |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based logic replacement applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC3042A-7PC84C | 4200 gates, same PLCC-84 package and -7 speed grade | Higher gate count supports larger state machines but increases static power by ~25% | Select when XC3030A-7PC84C resource utilization exceeds 90% in place-and-route |
| XCR3064XL-10VQ44C | 64-macrocell CPLD in 44-pin VQFP; 10 ns tPD; 3.3 V operation | No SRAM configuration; nonvolatile; lower pin count limits bus interface depth | Choose for lower-power, single-chip boot-up where reprogrammability is secondary to instant-on behavior |
Compared with XC3030A-7PC84C, the XC3042A-7PC84C offers headroom for logic expansion without changing footprint, while the XCR3064XL-10VQ44C trades configurability and I/O count for deterministic startup and reduced supply complexity.

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC3030A-7PC84C?
The XC3030A-7PC84C supports both serial and parallel configuration modes. Serial mode uses a master clock (CCLK) and data-in (DIN) line driven by an external PROM; parallel mode allows microprocessor-controlled loading via its 8-bit data bus. Configuration occurs on power-up or after PROGRAM pin assertion, and the DONE pin signals completion. XC3030A-7PC84C retains configuration only while powered - external nonvolatile memory is required for persistent bitstream storage.
Does XC3030A-7PC84C support mixed-voltage I/O operation?
No, XC3030A-7PC84C operates exclusively from a single 5.0 V ±5% supply and supports only TTL/CMOS-compatible I/O voltage levels. It lacks internal voltage translators, multi-rail I/O banks, or programmable output swing. All inputs and outputs are referenced to the same VCC and GND, making it incompatible with 3.3 V or 2.5 V system interfaces without external level-shifting circuitry. This constraint applies uniformly across all XC3030A-7PC84C units.
What is the maximum operating frequency achievable with XC3030A-7PC84C?
The XC3030A-7PC84C has a guaranteed propagation delay (tPD) of 15 ns for internal paths, translating to a theoretical maximum toggle rate of approximately 33 MHz for register-to-register paths under ideal conditions. Real-world synchronous system clock frequencies are typically limited to 20–25 MHz due to routing delays, setup/hold margins, and I/O timing constraints. The actual achievable frequency depends on design placement, clock skew, and external loading - XC3030A-7PC84C does not specify a hard maximum clock frequency in its datasheet.
Is XC3030A-7PC84C RoHS compliant?
XC3030A-7PC84C was manufactured prior to RoHS Directive enforcement and contains lead in its solder terminations and die attach materials. It is classified as non-RoHS-compliant and intended for use in legacy repair, military, or industrial applications exempt from current environmental regulations. No lead-free variant of XC3030A-7PC84C was released by AMD; RoHS-compliant alternatives require migration to newer FPGA families with updated packaging.
Can XC3030A-7PC84C be reprogrammed in-system?
Yes, XC3030A-7PC84C supports in-system programming (ISP) via its parallel configuration interface, allowing field updates without device removal. Reprogramming requires asserting the PROGRAM pin, presenting new configuration data on the 8-bit data bus, and toggling CCLK. Because XC3030A-7PC84C uses volatile SRAM configuration memory, the new bitstream must be reloaded after each power cycle - persistent storage relies on external PROM or microcontroller-initiated reload sequences. XC3030A-7PC84C does not support JTAG boundary-scan programming.
