Product details
Overview
XC3164-3PP132C from Xilinx is a high-performance, 4,500-gate Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in the XC3100A family, fabricated in advanced CMOS technology. It features a 16 × 14 Configurable Logic Block (CLB) array, 120 user I/Os, guaranteed 370 MHz flip-flop toggle rate, and 1.55 ns logic delay - enabling use in high-speed digital subsystems such as protocol bridging, peripheral interface logic, and real-time control in industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the XC3164-3PP132C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3.3 V nominal supply, Soft Startup slew-rate limiting, bitstream compatibility with XC3000A/XC3000L families, and support for serial configuration via XC17XX PROMs.
Technical Context
The XC3164-3PP132C implements a static memory-based FPGA architecture with distributed configuration memory cells controlling CLBs, IOBs, and interconnect resources. Its CLBs contain dual flip-flops, five-input look-up tables (LUTs), programmable clock polarity, and asynchronous reset - supporting synchronous and asynchronous logic design.
IOBs provide TTL/CMOS-selectable input thresholds, programmable slew rate, 3-state control, and Soft Startup - ensuring controlled output activation at power-up to suppress ground bounce. Interconnect includes general-purpose metal grids, direct CLB-to-CLB paths, and horizontal longlines with TBUF access - optimized for high-fan-out bussing and low-skew clock distribution.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA logic implementation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC3064A-3PC84C | Same 4,500-gate capacity but 84-pin plastic leaded chip carrier; no Soft Startup or error-checking bitstream | Limited I/O count (64) and no slew-rate limiting - unsuitable for noise-sensitive or high-density board designs | Select only when footprint constraints prohibit PPGA and ground-bounce risk is mitigated externally |
| XC3164A-3PQ208C | Same architecture and speed grade, but 208-pin PQFP package; identical configuration and logic behavior | Higher pin count enables more I/O routing flexibility and better thermal dissipation - but requires larger PCB area | Preferred for new designs needing >120 I/Os or improved thermal performance under sustained logic activity |
Compared with XC3064A-3PC84C, XC3164-3PP132C adds Soft Startup and configuration error checking - enhancing system reliability during power sequencing. Compared with XC3164A-3PQ208C, it trades I/O count and thermal margin for compact PPGA footprint - optimizing space-constrained embedded control modules.

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC3164-3PP132C?
XC3164-3PP132C supports serial configuration via the DIN/CCLK interface using Xilinx XC17XX-series one-time-programmable PROMs. It also accepts parallel byte-wide configuration through dedicated data bus pins, though serial mode is most common in field-deployed systems. The device verifies stop bits during loading and asserts INIT on error - a feature confirmed in the XC3100A family datasheet revision 3.1.
Does XC3164-3PP132C support 5 V tolerant I/Os?
No, XC3164-3PP132C operates at 3.3 V nominal supply and specifies TTL- or CMOS-compatible input thresholds - but not 5 V tolerance. Its absolute maximum input voltage is 4.0 V. For mixed-voltage systems, external level-shifting circuitry or series resistors must be used to interface with 5 V buses. This limitation is explicitly stated in the "Electrical Characteristics" section of the XC3100A datasheet.
Is XC3164-3PP132C pin-compatible with XC3064A devices?
No - XC3164-3PP132C uses a 132-pin PPGA package, while XC3064A variants commonly use 84-pin PLCC or 132-pin PQFP packages with different pin assignments. Although both share the same 4,500-gate logic capacity and bitstream compatibility, their physical pinouts differ. The XC3164-3PP132C datasheet confirms distinct pin mapping for INIT, PROGRAM, and I/O banks versus XC3064A-3PC84C.
What development tools were originally qualified for XC3164-3PP132C?
Xilinx Foundation Series and XACT 5.x software suites were the officially qualified toolchains for XC3164-3PP132C, providing schematic capture, automatic place-and-route, timing simulation, and bitstream generation. These tools supported interoperability with Viewlogic, Cadence, and Mentor Graphics design environments - as documented in the November 1998 XC3000 Series manual.
Can XC3164-3PP132C be reconfigured in-system?
Yes, XC3164-3PP132C supports in-system reconfiguration via its PROGRAM and INIT pins - allowing logic updates without power cycling or physical rework. The configuration memory is static CMOS-based and retains state indefinitely when powered, and the device accepts new bitstreams dynamically during operation. This capability is confirmed in the "Configuration Architecture" section of the XC3100A technical reference.
