AMD XC3130-PG84CPH

Overview

XC3130-PG84CPH 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 uses CMOS static memory technology with guaranteed 190 MHz flip-flop toggle rate and 1.55 ns logic delay, targeting digital subsystem integration in telecom interface logic and industrial control timing circuits.

For engineers reviewing the XC3130-PG84CPH datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture compatibility, confirmed CLB count, validated I/O count, exact speed grade, and real-world FPGA configuration behavior - all critical for legacy system maintenance and rework planning.

Technical Context

The XC3130-PG84CPH implements a regular, extendable FPGA architecture composed of perimeter I/O 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. Each CLB contains dual 4-input LUTs, two flip-flops with shared clock (K), enable clock (EC), and asynchronous reset (RD), supporting both registered and combinatorial logic.

Configuration is performed via external serial PROM (e.g., XC17XX series) or parallel byte-wide loading into internal static memory cells; bitstream is software-compatible with XC3000A/L families and footprint-compatible across XC3000-series packages. Soft Startup enforces slew-rate-limited output activation at power-up to suppress ground bounce.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

XC3130-PG84CPH is packaged in an 84-pin Plastic Grid Array (PG84), a ceramic-style pin-grid-array with 0.1 inch pitch and 1.27 mm pin spacing. The package supports full I/O access across four sides and accommodates thermal and mechanical constraints typical of mid-density FPGAs in industrial control modules.

Manufacturer

Xilinx, Inc. was a pioneering semiconductor company founded in 1984, specializing in programmable logic devices and later adaptive computing platforms before its acquisition by AMD in 2022.

The XC3100A family - including XC3130-PG84CPH - was designed for high-speed, medium-density digital logic replacement in telecom, industrial, and defense systems requiring field-upgradable functionality and deterministic timing behavior.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XC3130-PG84CPH?

The XC3130-PG84CPH guarantees a 190 MHz flip-flop toggle rate and supports system clock speeds exceeding 85 MHz. Its 1.55 ns logic delay enables timing-critical paths to close reliably in synchronous designs. Actual achievable frequency depends on routing congestion, CLB utilization, and I/O placement - verified through Xilinx Foundation or M1 timing analysis tools using the XC3130-PG84CPH-specific speed file.

Is XC3130-PG84CPH pin-compatible with XC3030A-PG84C?

Yes, XC3130-PG84CPH is 100% pin-out compatible with XC3030A-PG84C and other XC3000-series PG84 devices. Both share identical 84-pin ceramic grid array mapping, I/O function assignment, and power/ground pin locations. This allows direct PCB-level replacement in existing designs, provided timing and configuration constraints are re-verified.

Does XC3130-PG84CPH support in-system reprogramming?

Yes, XC3130-PG84CPH supports unlimited in-system reprogramming via its parallel or serial configuration interface. Configuration data is loaded into volatile static RAM cells, allowing logic changes without device removal. The PROGRAM and INIT pins enable controlled reconfiguration cycles, and Soft Startup ensures safe output behavior after each reload - a key feature for field-upgradable XC3130-PG84CPH deployments.

What external memory is required to configure XC3130-PG84CPH?

XC3130-PG84CPH requires 22,176 bits of configuration data, typically stored in a serial PROM such as the XC1708 (8 Kbit) or XC1716 (16 Kbit). For parallel configuration, a byte-wide EEPROM or flash memory with appropriate address decoding is used. The XC3130-PG84CPH does not contain non-volatile configuration memory and relies entirely on external storage for boot-up initialization.

Can XC3130-PG84CPH operate at 3.3 V?

No, XC3130-PG84CPH is a 5 V-only device specified for 5 V ±10% operation. It belongs to the XC3100A family, which predates Xilinx's low-voltage XC3100L series. Attempting to power XC3130-PG84CPH at 3.3 V will result in functional failure, insufficient noise margin, and potential damage due to improper transistor biasing - always use regulated 5 V supply with adequate decoupling.
