Product details
Overview
XC3042L-8VQ100I from AMD is a 3.3 V, 4200-gate CMOS FPGA with 8 ns propagation delay, 100-pin VQFP package, and 72 user I/O pins, used in industrial control logic replacement and reconfigurable digital signal path implementation.
For engineers reviewing the XC3042L-8VQ100I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include gate count, I/O count, speed grade, supply voltage tolerance, and VQFP thermal performance under sustained logic activity.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the Xilinx XC3000L family (acquired by AMD), implementing SRAM-based configurable logic blocks (CLBs) and interconnect resources programmable via JTAG boundary-scan. It supports in-system configuration through serial PROM or microprocessor interface.
The XC3042L-8VQ100I uses 0.5 µm CMOS process technology, operates at 3.3 V ±10%, and features dedicated carry logic for high-speed arithmetic functions and distributed RAM capability per CLB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Gates | 4200 usable gates - defines maximum combinational logic density for state machine or datapath implementation |
| Propagation Delay | 8 ns - sets worst-case clock-to-output timing for synchronous design closure |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±10% - requires stable low-noise 3.3 V rail; not compatible with 5 V TTL systems |
| User I/O Pins | 72 - supports medium-complexity peripheral interfacing without external glue logic |
| Package | VQFP-100 - 0.5 mm pitch, surface-mount, JEDEC MO-137 compliant, suitable for automated assembly |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +100°C - qualified for extended industrial temperature range operation |
Pinout & Package
VQFP-100 (Very Thin Quad Flat Package), 100-lead, 14 mm × 14 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch, exposed pad not present, moisture sensitivity level MSL3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Multiple dedicated pins required for noise suppression across core and I/O banks |
| VCC | Core power supply | 3.3 V supply for internal logic; decoupling capacitors must be placed near each VCC pin |
| VCCO | I/O power supply | 3.3 V supply for output drivers; separate from VCC to support mixed-voltage I/O if configured |
| PROGRAM | Configuration initialization | Active-low signal that resets configuration memory and initiates reload from PROM or host |
| DIN | Serial configuration data input | Accepts bitstream during master serial or slave serial mode programming |
| CLK | Configuration clock input | Drives internal shift register during configuration; frequency ≤ 25 MHz |
| INIT | Configuration status indicator | Open-drain output signals successful configuration completion or error condition |
| IOxxx | Configurable bidirectional I/O | Supports LVTTL/CMOS levels; individually programmable as input, output, or bidirectional |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SRAM-based configuration | Enables full reprogrammability in-system without UV erasure or socket replacement |
| Dedicated carry chain | Accelerates ripple-carry adder and counter designs with predictable 1-bit delay per stage |
| Distributed RAM per CLB | Provides up to 16 bits of synchronous single-port RAM per logic block without consuming LUT resources |
| JTAG boundary-scan support | Allows IEEE 1149.1-compliant testing, debugging, and in-circuit programming |
| Multi-voltage I/O banks | Permits independent VCCO assignment per bank, enabling direct interface to 3.3 V, 2.5 V, or 1.8 V peripherals |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCV300-4PQ240C | Higher gate count (300K gates), 3.3 V, PQFP-240 package, 176 I/O - significantly larger footprint and higher static power | Targeted at complex system-on-chip prototyping, not direct drop-in replacement | Select only when >10× logic density and expanded I/O are required; board redesign mandatory |
| XC4010E-4PQ160I | Same family generation, 10K-gate capacity, PQFP-160, 118 I/O, 4 ns speed grade - faster but physically incompatible | Used in higher-performance control loops requiring sub-5 ns path delays | Consider for timing-critical upgrades where PCB layout allows larger PQFP and additional decoupling |
Compared with XC3042L-8VQ100I, the XCV300-4PQ240C offers vastly greater capacity but demands major mechanical and power delivery changes, while the XC4010E-4PQ160I provides tighter timing at the cost of non-interchangeable packaging and increased thermal load.

Manufacturer
AMD acquired Xilinx in 2022, integrating its FPGA portfolio into AMD Adaptive Computing. The XC3000L series originated under Xilinx as an early low-voltage, high-density SRAM-based FPGA family.
The XC3000L family was designed for cost-sensitive, medium-complexity reconfigurable logic applications where programmability, industrial temperature tolerance, and 3.3 V operation were prioritized over ultra-high speed or advanced features like embedded processors.
FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC3042L-8VQ100I?
The XC3042L-8VQ100I supports master serial, slave serial, and JTAG boundary-scan configuration modes. It loads configuration bitstream from external serial PROM or host processor via DIN/CLK pins, or through IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG interface. Configuration is volatile and requires reload on power-up.
Does XC3042L-8VQ100I support hot-swap or live insertion?
No, XC3042L-8VQ100I does not support hot-swap. Its VCC and VCCO pins must be powered in controlled sequence per Xilinx XC3000L DC characteristics - VCC must stabilize before VCCO, and both must be within specification before configuration begins. Violating this risks configuration corruption or latch-up.
Can XC3042L-8VQ100I operate at 2.5 V I/O voltage?
No, XC3042L-8VQ100I requires 3.3 V for both VCC (core) and VCCO (I/O). Its I/O buffers are specified only for 3.3 V LVTTL/CMOS levels. Applying 2.5 V to VCCO violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause functional failure or accelerated wear-out.
What is the maximum clock frequency achievable with XC3042L-8VQ100I?
The XC3042L-8VQ100I has a 8 ns propagation delay grade, supporting system clock frequencies up to approximately 125 MHz for simple register-to-register paths. Actual maximum operating frequency depends on design topology, routing congestion, and I/O setup/hold timing - verified per place-and-route report, not guaranteed by speed grade alone.
Is XC3042L-8VQ100I RoHS compliant?
Yes, XC3042L-8VQ100I is RoHS-6 compliant (lead-free terminations, no restricted substances above threshold). It meets JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 3 marking for lead-free finish and qualifies for lead-free reflow profiles per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
