Product details
Overview
XC3164A-3PC84C from AMD is a 64-pin PGA Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 1,500 usable gates, 64 I/O pins, and 3.3 V core voltage, designed for prototyping and low-volume logic replacement in industrial control and communications interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC3164A-3PC84C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include gate count, I/O count, package type, speed grade (-3), and compatibility with Xilinx XC3000A family toolchain and configuration methods.
Technical Context
The XC3164A-3PC84C implements a configurable logic block (CLB) architecture with dedicated carry logic and flexible interconnect routing. It supports SRAM-based configuration via JTAG or serial PROM and operates with a maximum system clock frequency of 100 MHz at 3.3 V.
It features 64 user I/O pins with programmable input/output standards including TTL and LVTTL levels, and includes internal pull-up resistors on all I/Os. Configuration data retention requires external non-volatile memory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gates | 1,500 usable logic gates - defines combinational and sequential logic capacity for medium-complexity digital functions |
| I/O Pins | 64 bidirectional user I/Os - supports parallel bus interfaces, address/data multiplexing, and multi-signal control paths |
| Speed Grade | -3 - guarantees 100 MHz maximum system clock frequency under worst-case commercial temperature conditions |
| Core Voltage | 3.3 V ± 5% - requires dedicated 3.3 V supply rail; not compatible with 5 V-only systems without level translation |
| Package | 84-pin Plastic PGA (PC84) - 1.27 mm pin pitch, 27.94 mm × 27.94 mm body, through-hole mounting with socket support |
| Configuration | SRAM-based, reprogrammable - requires external PROM or JTAG controller for power-up initialization |
Pinout & Package
XC3164A-3PC84C is housed in an 84-pin Plastic Pin Grid Array (PC84) package with 64 user I/O pins, 4 VCC, 4 GND, and dedicated configuration pins (INIT, PROGRAM, DONE, CCLK, DIN).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Core power supply | 3.3 V supply for internal logic; requires local decoupling capacitors near each VCC pin |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power return path; multiple pins reduce ground bounce in high-speed switching |
| DIN | Serial configuration data input | Accepts bitstream during master serial or JTAG programming; synchronous to CCLK |
| CCLK | Configuration clock input | Drives internal shift registers during configuration; externally generated, up to 25 MHz |
| DONE | Configuration status output | Open-drain signal indicating successful bitstream loading; pulled high externally |
| PROGRAM | Configuration reset input | Active-low signal that clears SRAM and initiates reconfiguration sequence |
| INIT | Initialization status output | Indicates device readiness for configuration or detects CRC error during load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reprogrammable SRAM fabric | Enables iterative design validation and field updates without hardware change |
| 64-user I/O with programmable drive strength | Supports mixed-voltage interfacing and reduces need for external buffers in board-level integration |
| Dedicated carry chain logic | Accelerates arithmetic operations (e.g., counters, adders) with predictable timing and reduced CLB usage |
| JTAG boundary-scan support (IEEE 1149.1) | Allows in-system testability, debugging, and configuration without dedicated test fixtures |
| Internal pull-up resistors on all I/Os | Eliminates need for external pull-ups on control lines like chip select or interrupt signals |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the XC3164A-3PC84C?
The XC3164A-3PC84C has a speed grade of -3, guaranteeing a maximum system clock frequency of 100 MHz under commercial temperature conditions (0°C to +70°C) and 3.3 V supply. This rating applies to internal logic paths with standard loading and PCB trace lengths typical of PGA-mounted designs.
Does the XC3164A-3PC84C support in-system programming?
Yes, the XC3164A-3PC84C supports in-system programming via IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan interface. Configuration bitstream can be loaded through the TDI/TDO pins without removing the device from the board, enabling field updates and debug access during development and maintenance.
What package type does the XC3164A-3PC84C use?
The XC3164A-3PC84C uses an 84-pin Plastic Pin Grid Array (PC84) package with 1.27 mm pin pitch and 27.94 mm × 27.94 mm body size. It is designed for through-hole mounting and compatible with standard PGA sockets used in prototyping and industrial control backplanes.
Can the XC3164A-3PC84C operate with a 5 V supply?
No, the XC3164A-3PC84C requires a 3.3 V ± 5% core supply. Its I/Os are LVTTL-compatible and tolerate 5 V inputs only when configured with appropriate series resistors or external clamping; direct 5 V VCC connection will damage the device.
Is the XC3164A-3PC84C pin-compatible with other XC3000A family members?
Yes, the XC3164A-3PC84C shares the same PC84 package and pinout with other 64-pin XC3000A family FPGAs including XC3064A-3PC84C and XC3164A-3PC84I. Signal assignments, power, ground, and configuration pins are identical across these variants.
