AMD XC3130-PC44CPH

Overview

XC3130-PC44CPH from Xilinx is a high-performance Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in the XC3100A family, featuring 2,000 maximum logic gates, a 10 × 10 Configurable Logic Block (CLB) array, and 80 user I/Os. It delivers guaranteed flip-flop toggle rates up to 370 MHz, logic delays as low as 1.55 ns, and supports system clock speeds over 85 MHz. It is used in high-speed digital subsystem integration for telecom line cards and industrial control logic replacement.

For engineers reviewing the XC3130-PC44CPH datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 1.55–4.1 ns logic delay range, 8 mA output drive capability, Soft Startup slew-rate limiting, bitstream compatibility with XC3000A/XC3000L families, and 44-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package.

Technical Context

The XC3130-PC44CPH implements a static CMOS-based FPGA architecture with a perimeter of programmable Input/Output Blocks (IOBs), a core 10 × 10 array of Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), and hierarchical interconnect resources including general-purpose metal grids, direct CLB-to-CLB paths, and horizontal longlines. Its configuration memory consists of distributed static RAM cells enabling full reprogrammability.

Each IOB supports TTL or CMOS input thresholds, programmable slew rate, passive pull-up, registered/direct I/O paths, and 3-state control. Each CLB contains dual flip-flops, five logic inputs (A–E), programmable clock inversion, asynchronous reset (RD), and a 32×1 look-up table supporting two 4-variable functions or one 5-variable function - all with spike-free combinatorial propagation independent of logic complexity.

Key Specifications

FAQ

What is the operating voltage specification for XC3130-PC44CPH?

The XC3130-PC44CPH operates at a nominal supply voltage of +5 V ±5%. It is not a low-voltage device - unlike XC3130L variants, it requires strict 4.75–5.25 V regulation and does not support 3.3 V operation. This voltage level ensures compatibility with legacy TTL signaling and sufficient noise margin for industrial environments. The XC3130-PC44CPH datasheet specifies quiescent current up to 5 mA and active power scaling with toggle rate.

Is XC3130-PC44CPH pin-compatible with other XC3000-series FPGAs in PLCC-44 packages?

Yes, XC3130-PC44CPH is 100% pin-out compatible with XC3030A-PC44C and XC3030L-PC44C within the same package variant. All share identical power, ground, I/O, and configuration pin assignments. However, XC3130-PC44CPH adds internal Soft Startup and bitstream error checking - features transparent to pin mapping but requiring updated configuration PROM content and development tool support.

Does XC3130-PC44CPH support in-system reprogramming?

Yes, XC3130-PC44CPH supports full in-system reprogramming via its dedicated CCLK and DIN pins using serial configuration mode. The device accepts new bitstreams without power cycle, enabling field updates of logic functionality. Configuration can be initiated by processor-controlled INIT assertion or automatically on power-up using an external XC17128 serial PROM. The XC3130-PC44CPH retains configuration indefinitely while powered.

What development tools were originally qualified for XC3130-PC44CPH design entry and verification?

Xilinx Foundation Series 1.5 and later, along with XACT 5.x place-and-route tools, were fully qualified for XC3130-PC44CPH. These supported schematic capture, logic simulation with timing back-annotation, automatic place-and-route, and bitstream generation compatible with XC17XX PROMs. Third-party integrations included Viewlogic, Cadence, and Mentor Graphics design environments - all validated for XC3130-PC44CPH netlist export and timing analysis.

How does the Soft Startup feature function in XC3130-PC44CPH?

Soft Startup in XC3130-PC44CPH automatically enforces slew-rate limiting on all outputs during the first activation after configuration completes. This prevents simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and ground bounce by controlling edge rates before user logic takes control. After startup, individual I/O slew rates revert to configuration-bit settings. The feature is hardware-implemented and requires no user code or external components - it is active in every XC3130-PC44CPH power-on sequence.
