Product details
Overview
XC3090L-8PC84C from AMD is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 90,000 system gates, 8 ns maximum propagation delay, and 84-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package. It implements configurable logic arrays for digital control and interface functions in industrial motion controllers and legacy telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the XC3090L-8PC84C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count, speed grade, PLCC-84 compatibility, I/O count, and 5 V CMOS process technology.
Technical Context
The XC3090L-8PC84C belongs to AMD's XC3000L series of low-power FPGAs fabricated in 0.8 µm CMOS technology. It features a configurable logic block (CLB) architecture with dedicated carry logic and flexible interconnect resources.
It supports in-system programmability via JTAG boundary-scan interface and operates at 5 V supply with TTL-compatible inputs and CMOS outputs. Configuration is performed through serial or parallel mode using external PROM or microcontroller.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the XC3090L-8PC84C?
The XC3090L-8PC84C does not specify a maximum system clock frequency in its datasheet. Its 8 ns propagation delay implies usable clock rates up to approximately 125 MHz for simple register-to-register paths. Actual achievable frequency depends on routing, logic depth, and I/O timing constraints in the implemented design. The XC3090L-8PC84C is optimized for deterministic timing rather than peak clock speed.
Does the XC3090L-8PC84C support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes, the XC3090L-8PC84C supports in-system programming via its JTAG boundary-scan interface (IEEE 1149.1 compliant). This allows configuration bitstream updates without removing the device from the PCB. The XC3090L-8PC84C requires external circuitry-such as a JTAG controller or microcontroller-to drive the TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO signals during ISP operations.
What configuration memory devices are compatible with the XC3090L-8PC84C?
The XC3090L-8PC84C is compatible with industry-standard serial PROMs including AMD's own AM29PAL16R4 and third-party equivalents like Atmel AT17LVxx series. These PROMs must match the XC3090L-8PC84C's 5 V supply and serial configuration protocol. The XC3090L-8PC84C does not support configuration from flash memory without a dedicated interface controller.
Is the XC3090L-8PC84C RoHS compliant?
No, the XC3090L-8PC84C was manufactured prior to RoHS Directive enforcement and contains lead in its PLCC package solder finish and die attach materials. It is classified as non-RoHS and intended for legacy repair, military, or aerospace applications where exemptions apply. The XC3090L-8PC84C does not meet current EU RoHS 2011/65/EU requirements.
Can the XC3090L-8PC84C be used in place of the XC3090-8PC84C?
Yes, the XC3090L-8PC84C is the low-power variant of the XC3090-8PC84C and shares identical pinout, package, and configuration interface. Key differences include reduced ICC (typical 120 mA vs. 210 mA) and slightly relaxed timing margins. The XC3090L-8PC84C is a direct drop-in replacement where lower power consumption is acceptable or required.
