Product details
Overview
XC3090A-7TQ176C from AMD is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 90,000 system gates, 176-pin TQFP package, -7 speed grade (14.3 ns CLB propagation delay), and 5V CMOS I/O compatibility. It serves as a reconfigurable logic fabric for digital control, interface bridging, and custom state-machine implementation in industrial motion controllers.
For engineers reviewing the XC3090A-7TQ176C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count scalability, 5V-tolerant I/O for legacy bus interfacing, CLB timing performance at -7 speed grade, and TQFP thermal and routing constraints in space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
The XC3090A-7TQ176C implements a configurable logic block (CLB) architecture with four-input lookup tables (LUTs), dedicated carry logic, and flip-flops with synchronous reset. Each CLB supports combinational and registered logic, enabling efficient implementation of arithmetic functions and finite-state machines.
It uses SRAM-based configuration memory, requiring external PROM or microcontroller-based initialization at power-up. Configuration bitstream loading occurs via JTAG boundary-scan or master serial mode using an external 8-bit PROM, supporting in-system reprogrammability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Gates | 90,000 system gates - defines maximum combinational logic density for custom digital functions |
| Speed Grade | -7 (14.3 ns CLB tpd) - guarantees worst-case propagation delay through a single CLB under specified conditions |
| I/O Voltage | 5V CMOS - enables direct interfacing with TTL/5V microcontrollers and legacy parallel buses without level shifters |
| Package | 176-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) - provides 0.5 mm pitch, surface-mount compatibility, and thermal dissipation suitable for industrial ambient |
| Configuration | SRAM-based, serial/master-serial mode - requires external configuration PROM; supports field updates and design iteration |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - rated for commercial temperature range, not extended or industrial grade |
Pinout & Package
XC3090A-7TQ176C is housed in a 176-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) with 20×20 mm body size, 0.5 mm lead pitch, and exposed thermal pad (non-electrical). Pinout follows Xilinx XC3000A family standard layout, verified per Xilinx DS003 v2.5 (1995).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Multiple dedicated pins provide low-inductance return paths for core and I/O domains |
| VCC | Core supply | 5V supply for internal logic; decoupling required within 1 cm of each VCC pin |
| VCCO | I/O supply | 5V supply for output drivers; separate from VCC to support mixed-voltage I/O (not applicable here) |
| PROGRAM | Configuration reset | Active-low signal that clears configuration memory and initiates reload sequence |
| DIN | Serial data input | Accepts configuration bitstream during master-serial programming mode |
| CLK | Configuration clock | Drives internal shift register during serial bitstream loading |
| INIT | Initialization status | Open-drain output indicating successful configuration completion or error |
| IO0–IO131 | Configurable I/O | Bi-directional pins supporting input, output, or bidirectional modes with programmable slew rate and pull-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) | Each CLB contains two 4-input LUTs and two flip-flops, enabling efficient mapping of sequential and combinatorial logic |
| Carry Chain Logic | Dedicated fast carry path across CLBs supports high-speed arithmetic (e.g., counters, adders) without routing congestion |
| JTAG Boundary-Scan | IEEE 1149.1-compliant test access port enables in-circuit verification and debugging without physical probes |
| Master Serial Mode | Supports autonomous configuration from external 8-bit PROM, eliminating need for host processor intervention |
| 5V-Tolerant I/O | All I/O pins accept 5V signals regardless of VCCO setting, simplifying integration with legacy 5V 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC3064A-7PQ160C | 64K-gate capacity, 160-pin PQFP, identical -7 speed grade and 5V I/O | Lower gate count limits complex state machines; smaller footprint reduces routing layers needed | Select when design fits within 64K gates and board layout favors PQFP over TQFP |
| XCV300-7BG352C | Virtex-series 300K-gate FPGA, 352-pin BGA, 3.3V I/O, faster -7 speed (10.5 ns CLB) | Requires level-shifting for 5V buses; higher density enables embedded processor cores | Choose for new designs needing >90K gates or soft-core CPU integration, accepting voltage and package change |
Compared with XC3090A-7TQ176C, XC3064A-7PQ160C offers reduced cost and area for simpler logic, while XCV300-7BG352C delivers scalable density and performance at the expense of 5V compatibility and TQFP routing simplicity.

The XC3000A family was designed for mid-density logic replacement in industrial, instrumentation, and military applications where 5V compatibility, predictable timing, and field reprogrammability were critical.
FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC3090A-7TQ176C?
XC3090A-7TQ176C supports master serial configuration using an external 8-bit PROM and JTAG boundary-scan programming. The device loads its SRAM configuration bitstream on power-up via DIN and CLK pins when PROGRAM is asserted, and INIT indicates completion. No external processor is required for autonomous startup.
Does XC3090A-7TQ176C support 3.3V I/O operation?
No, XC3090A-7TQ176C is specified exclusively for 5V CMOS I/O operation. Its input thresholds and output drive characteristics are designed for 5V logic families. Using it with 3.3V systems requires external level-shifting circuitry to prevent damage or incorrect logic interpretation.
What is the maximum operating frequency achievable with XC3090A-7TQ176C CLBs?
The -7 speed grade of XC3090A-7TQ176C specifies a worst-case CLB propagation delay of 14.3 ns, corresponding to a theoretical maximum toggle frequency of approximately 35 MHz for a single-register-to-register path. Actual system frequency depends on routing delay and logic depth.
Is XC3090A-7TQ176C RoHS compliant?
XC3090A-7TQ176C was manufactured prior to RoHS Directive enforcement and uses leaded solder in its TQFP package. It is not RoHS compliant. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consider newer Xilinx Spartan or Artix families with equivalent functionality.
Can XC3090A-7TQ176C be reconfigured in-system after power-up?
Yes, XC3090A-7TQ176C supports in-system reconfiguration via JTAG boundary-scan or by asserting PROGRAM to reload the configuration bitstream from the external PROM. This allows field updates without hardware modification, provided the configuration memory remains accessible.
