AMD XC3130A-3PQ100C

Overview

XC3130A-3PQ100C from AMD (Xilinx) is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 1,300 usable gates, 72 I/O pins, and a 100-pin PQFP package with 3.3 V core voltage. It implements synchronous logic designs with up to 48 macrocells per function block and supports in-system programmability via JTAG interface. Used in legacy industrial control logic replacement and low-complexity digital glue logic applications.

For engineers reviewing the XC3130A-3PQ100C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include gate count, I/O count, PQFP thermal profile, JTAG configuration support, and 3.3 V core compatibility with legacy 5 V tolerant I/Os.

Technical Context

The XC3130A-3PQ100C belongs to the Xilinx XC3000A FPGA family, built on a CMOS process with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), input/output blocks (IOBs), and interconnect resources. It uses SRAM-based configuration memory and requires external PROM or processor-controlled JTAG for power-up initialization.

Each CLB contains two 3-input lookup tables (LUTs), flip-flops with synchronous reset, and dedicated carry logic. The device supports both combinatorial and registered outputs per IOB, with programmable slew rate and pull-up resistors on selected pins.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

XC3130A-3PQ100C is housed in a 100-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) with 24 pins per side, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and 14 × 14 mm body size. Thermal performance supports operation up to +70°C ambient under typical I/O toggle rates.

Manufacturer

Xilinx (now part of AMD) pioneered commercial FPGA technology, focusing on programmable logic solutions for aerospace, industrial, and communications markets before its acquisition in 2022.

The XC3000A family was designed for cost-sensitive, low-power, medium-complexity digital logic replacement in systems where ASIC development was impractical and PAL density insufficient.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature for XC3130A-3PQ100C?

The XC3130A-3PQ100C is specified for commercial temperature range operation from 0°C to +70°C. Its PQFP package and CMOS process allow stable functionality within this range when PCB thermal vias and copper pour are applied per Xilinx AN127 guidelines. Exceeding +70°C may cause configuration loss or timing violations in XC3130A-3PQ100C.

Does XC3130A-3PQ100C require an external configuration PROM?

No, XC3130A-3PQ100C supports JTAG-based in-system configuration and does not require an external PROM. Configuration bitstream can be loaded directly via TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO pins using standard IEEE 1149.1 tools. However, non-volatile storage still requires external memory if power-cycle persistence is needed - XC3130A-3PQ100C itself retains no configuration without power.

Can XC3130A-3PQ100C interface directly with 5 V logic devices?

Yes, XC3130A-3PQ100C I/O pins are 5 V tolerant when VCCO = 3.3 V, allowing safe connection to 5 V TTL and CMOS outputs without level shifters. Input thresholds remain compatible with 5 V logic levels, and output drive strength meets LVTTL specifications - a key design advantage confirmed in Xilinx DS003 datasheet for XC3130A-3PQ100C.

What development tools support XC3130A-3PQ100C?

XC3130A-3PQ100C is supported by Xilinx Foundation Series 2.1i and earlier versions, including schematic entry, ABEL HDL synthesis, and JTAG programming utilities. Third-party tools like Synario and OrCAD PLD also provide netlist flow. Modern Vivado does not support XC3130A-3PQ100C - legacy toolchain access is required for XC3130A-3PQ100C design and debug.

Is XC3130A-3PQ100C RoHS compliant?

XC3130A-3PQ100C was manufactured prior to RoHS Directive enforcement and contains leaded solder in its PQFP package. It is exempt under RoHS Annex III for legacy industrial spare parts and life-extension programs.
