Product details
Overview
XC3190-4PQ208C from Xilinx is a high-density, static-memory-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 6,000 logic gates, 320 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) in a 16 × 20 array, 144 user I/Os, and guaranteed 190 MHz flip-flop toggle rate. It supports TTL/CMOS input thresholds, on-chip crystal oscillator amplifier, and internal 3-state bus capability - used in legacy telecom interface logic, industrial control subsystems, and reconfigurable data acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the XC3190-4PQ208C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include CLB count, I/O count, toggle rate, configuration memory bit count (64,160 bits), and PQ208 package compatibility with legacy Xilinx development tools and PCB footprints.
Technical Context
The XC3190-4PQ208C implements a regular, extendable architecture comprising a perimeter of programmable Input/Output Blocks (IOBs), a core array of 320 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 edge-triggered flip-flops, programmable clock enable, asynchronous reset, and configurable output slew rate.
Configuration is loaded via serial or parallel mode into distributed static memory cells; bitstream is compatible with XC3000A, XC3000L, and XC3100A families. Soft Startup enforces slew-rate-limited output activation at power-up to suppress ground bounce, and error-checking logic validates stop bits during configuration loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Gates | 6,000 max - defines total combinational logic capacity for system integration |
| Configurable Logic Blocks | 320 CLBs (16 × 20 array) - determines granularity and routing flexibility for synchronous logic design |
| User I/O Pins | 144 - supports wide parallel buses or multiple peripheral interfaces without external glue logic |
| Flip-Flop Toggle Rate | 190 MHz - sets maximum clocked register throughput for high-speed state machines |
| Logic Delay | 1.55–4.1 ns - constrains critical path timing in combinatorial logic sections |
| Configuration Bits | 64,160 bits - defines size of external PROM required for serial configuration (e.g., XC1764) |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ± 10% - mandates use of standard TTL-compatible power rails and decoupling |
| Operating Temperature | 0 °C to +70 °C - qualifies for commercial-grade embedded systems, not extended industrial or automotive |
Pinout & Package
PQ208 is a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) with 0.5 mm pitch, 28 mm × 28 mm body, and JEDEC MS-026 compliant footprint. Pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise sequence starting from top-left corner (Pin 1 marked).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply | 5 V main supply for core and I/O circuitry; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per 4–6 pins |
| GND | Ground reference | Dedicated ground pins distributed across all four sides to minimize simultaneous switching noise |
| I/O[0:143] | Programmable bidirectional interface | Each supports TTL/CMOS thresholds, registered/direct input, 3-state output, and slew-rate control |
| CLK1/CLK2 | Global clock inputs | Two dedicated clock nets per die edge; polarity programmable per CLB for rising/falling edge triggering |
| RESET | Active-low global reset | Asynchronously clears all CLB and IOB flip-flops during configuration or runtime fault recovery |
| INIT | Configuration status indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during invalid bitstream detection or configuration failure |
| CCLK | Configuration clock | Drives serial configuration data loading; frequency ≤ 10 MHz for reliable bitstream capture |
| DIN | Serial configuration data input | Accepts bit-serial stream from XC17XX PROM; synchronized to CCLK edges |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bitstream compatibility | Fully compatible with XC3000A, XC3000L, and XC3100A families - enables reuse of existing place-and-route databases and simulation models |
| Soft Startup | Automatically limits output slew rate at power-up to prevent ground bounce across all 144 I/Os simultaneously |
| On-chip oscillator amplifier | Supports external crystal (1–20 MHz) directly connected to OSC1/OSC2 pins - eliminates need for external clock generator IC |
| Error-checked configuration | Validates stop-bit positions in bitstream during load - halts configuration and asserts INIT if corruption detected |
| Internal 3-state bus | Enables time-multiplexed sharing of I/O pins across multiple functional blocks without external bus transceivers |
| Direct CLB interconnect | Hardwired paths between adjacent CLBs (e.g., X→B-right, Y→D-up) reduce routing delay for carry chains and counters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA logic integration applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC3190A-4PQ208C | Same gate count, CLB count, and pinout; faster speed grade (4 ns logic delay vs. 4.1 ns) and higher toggle rate (220 MHz vs. 190 MHz) | Suitable for designs requiring marginally tighter timing closure or higher clock domain frequencies | Select when timing budget allows no derating and board layout supports same PQ208 footprint |
| XC3090A-4PQ208C | Lower density (5,000–6,000 gate range), 320 CLBs, same 144 I/Os, but slower toggle rate (170 MHz) and longer logic delay (4.5 ns) | Better cost/performance fit for less timing-critical control logic with identical I/O count | Choose for cost-sensitive replacements where 190 MHz toggle rate is unnecessary |
Compared with XC3190A-4PQ208C, the XC3190-4PQ208C trades 30 MHz toggle margin and 0.5 ns logic delay for broader availability in legacy inventory; versus XC3090A-4PQ208C, it delivers verified 190 MHz operation and tighter 4.1 ns delay - critical for synchronous data paths in telecom timing circuits.

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC3190-4PQ208C?
The XC3190-4PQ208C supports both serial and parallel configuration modes. Serial mode uses CCLK and DIN pins with XC17XX-series PROMs; parallel mode accepts byte-wide data via dedicated configuration data bus. Configuration bitstream is 64,160 bits long and validated for stop-bit integrity during load. The XC3190-4PQ208C does not support JTAG configuration - that feature was introduced in later Spartan and Virtex families.
Does XC3190-4PQ208C support 3.3 V I/O operation?
No, the XC3190-4PQ208C operates exclusively at 5 V supply and is not compatible with 3.3 V signaling. Its I/O buffers are TTL/CMOS 5 V compliant with 8 mA drive strength. For 3.3 V operation, Xilinx offered the pin-compatible XC3190L-4PQ208C variant - a separate low-voltage part with identical logic resources but different electrical specifications.
Can XC3190-4PQ208C be used as a drop-in replacement for XC3090A-4PQ208C?
No - although both share the PQ208 package and 144 I/O count, the XC3190-4PQ208C has higher gate density (6,000 vs. 5,000 typical), faster timing (4.1 ns vs. 4.5 ns logic delay), and different configuration bitstream length (64,160 vs. 64,160 bits - same count but incompatible mapping). Bitstream is not interchangeable; redesign and re-synthesis are required.
What development tools are compatible with XC3190-4PQ208C?
The XC3190-4PQ208C is supported by Xilinx Foundation Series 1.5 and earlier, as well as third-party tools including Viewlogic, Cadence, and Mentor Graphics interfaces documented in the November 1998 XC3000 Series manual. Synthesis requires ABEL or schematic entry; VHDL/Verilog synthesis was not natively supported for this family. The XC3190-4PQ208C requires Xilinx BITGEN and PAR tools for bitstream generation and place-and-route.
Is XC3190-4PQ208C still manufactured or only available as legacy stock?
The XC3190-4PQ208C is obsolete and no longer manufactured by Xilinx. Aetrix Electronics supplies verified, traceable legacy stock with full lot-level documentation. All units undergo electrical testing per original Xilinx specification Rev 3.1 (Nov 1998); no extended temperature or enhanced reliability screening is performed.
