AMD XC3130-5PC44C

Overview

XC3130-5PC44C from Xilinx is a high-performance, 2,000-gate Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in the XC3100A family, featuring a 10×10 CLB array, 80 user I/Os, and guaranteed 190 MHz flip-flop toggle rate with 1.55 ns logic delay. It operates at 5 V, supports TTL/CMOS input thresholds, and integrates configurable logic blocks, I/O blocks, and programmable interconnect for custom digital system implementation in industrial control and communications interfaces.

For engineers reviewing the XC3130-5PC44C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 5 V supply compatibility, 44-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package, soft-start slew-rate limiting at power-up, bitstream compatibility with XC3000A/XC3100A families, and support for serial configuration via XC17XX PROMs.

Technical Context

The XC3130-5PC44C implements a static CMOS FPGA architecture with distributed configuration memory cells controlling IOBs, CLBs, and interconnect PIPs. Its 10×10 array of Configurable Logic Blocks each contains dual flip-flops, five-input LUTs, programmable clock polarity, and shared enable/reset controls - enabling synchronous and asynchronous logic design with deterministic timing.

Interconnect resources include general-purpose metal grids with bidirectional buffers, direct CLB-to-CLB routing paths (X→B/C, Y→D/A), and horizontal longlines with TBUF access. Configuration is loaded serially or in byte-parallel mode, with error-checking of bitstream stop bits and automatic INIT assertion on failure.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

XC3130-5PC44C is housed in a 44-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package with J-leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and 16.59 mm × 16.59 mm body size. Pin 1 is marked by a corner notch; the device uses a standard PLCC footprint compatible with industry-referenced land patterns.

Manufacturer

Xilinx, Inc. is a pioneering semiconductor company founded in 1984 and acquired by AMD in 2022, specializing in programmable logic devices and adaptive computing solutions.

The XC3000 Series - including XC3130-5PC44C - was designed for high-density, reprogrammable digital logic integration in industrial, military, and telecommunications systems where gate-count flexibility, field-upgradability, and deterministic timing were critical.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the XC3130-5PC44C?

The XC3130-5PC44C guarantees a minimum flip-flop toggle rate of 190 MHz and supports system clock speeds exceeding 85 MHz. Its 1.55 ns logic delay enables reliable operation in synchronous designs with clock periods down to 5.26 ns. Actual achievable frequency depends on design topology, routing, and I/O loading - verified via Xilinx Foundation or Alliance software timing analysis using the -5 speed grade model for XC3130-5PC44C.

Does the XC3130-5PC44C support in-system reprogramming?

Yes, the XC3130-5PC44C supports in-system reprogramming via its serial configuration interface (CCLK, DIN, PROGRAM, INIT). The device can reload its configuration bitstream without power cycling, enabling field updates of logic functionality. This capability relies on external serial PROM (e.g., XC1736) or microcontroller-controlled bitstream streaming - the XC3130-5PC44C itself contains no non-volatile storage.

Is the XC3130-5PC44C pin-compatible with XC3030A-5PC44C?

Yes, the XC3130-5PC44C is 100% pin-out compatible with the XC3030A-5PC44C and other members of the XC3000/XC3100 families in the 44-pin PLCC package. Both share identical pin functions, power/ground locations, and configuration interface signals - allowing drop-in replacement in existing PCB layouts when upgrading to higher performance or enhanced features like soft startup.

What configuration memory size does the XC3130-5PC44C require?

The XC3130-5PC44C requires 22,176 bits of configuration data, corresponding to its 100 CLB array and associated IOB/interconnect resources. This value is fixed for the XC3130 variant and matches the XC3030A-5PC44C. External serial PROMs such as XC17256 (256 Kbit) or XC1736 (36 Kbit) provide sufficient capacity, with the latter offering exact fit plus overhead for multiple bitstreams or versioning.

Can the XC3130-5PC44C operate at 3.3 V?

No, the XC3130-5PC44C is a 5 V-only device specified for V_CC = 5.0 V ± 5%. It is not compatible with 3.3 V supply rails. For 3.3 V operation, Xilinx offers the pin-compatible XC3130L-5PC44C (low-voltage variant), which shares the same logic capacity and package but uses a modified CMOS process optimized for 3.0–3.6 V operation - with corresponding reductions in speed and drive strength.
