Product details
Overview
XCS10-3PC84C from AMD is a Spartan-XL family FPGA with 10,000 system gates, 84-pin PLCC package, and -3 speed grade (max 100 MHz internal clock), used in industrial control logic and legacy reconfiguration systems.
For engineers reviewing the XCS10-3PC84C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key considerations include I/O count (69 user I/Os), configuration mode (serial PROM or parallel slave), and compliance with IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan test standard.
Technical Context
The XCS10-3PC84C implements configurable logic blocks (CLBs) with four-input LUTs and flip-flops, supports in-system programmability via JTAG, and uses SRAM-based configuration memory requiring external PROM for power-up initialization.
It features dedicated carry logic for arithmetic functions, global routing resources, and supports both synchronous and asynchronous reset modes across all CLBs and I/O blocks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Capacity | 10,000 system gates - defines maximum combinational logic density for gate-equivalent design mapping |
| Speed Grade | -3 - guarantees 100 MHz maximum internal clock frequency under worst-case commercial conditions |
| I/O Count | 69 user I/O pins - supports medium-complexity peripheral interfacing without external glue logic |
| Configuration Mode | Serial PROM or parallel slave - determines boot method and external memory interface requirements |
| JTAG Support | IEEE 1149.1 compliant - enables boundary-scan testing and in-circuit programming without dedicated programming hardware |
| Package Type | 84-pin PLCC - surface-mount compatible with through-hole socket options for prototyping and repair |
Pinout & Package
84-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) with 0.05-inch lead pitch, body size 1.17" × 1.17", JEDEC MS-018AC compliant. Thermal pad not present; no heatsink required for typical operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| PIN 2–70 | I/O | Bi-directional user-configurable pins with 3.3 V/5 V tolerant input buffers and programmable slew rate |
| PIN 71 (TCK) | JTAG Clock | Drives JTAG state machine timing; requires clean 50% duty cycle clock for reliable boundary-scan operation |
| PIN 72 (TMS) | JTAG Mode Select | Controls JTAG instruction register state transitions; must be stable during TCK rising edge |
| PIN 73 (TDI) | JTAG Data In | Serial input for JTAG instructions and configuration bitstream; latched on TCK rising edge |
| PIN 74 (TDO) | JTAG Data Out | Serial output for JTAG readback and status; driven on TCK falling edge |
| PIN 75–84 | VCC / GND | Power and ground distribution - includes separate VCCIO (3.3 V) and VCCINT (5 V) supply pins per bank |
Key Features

FAQ
What configuration methods does the XCS10-3PC84C support?
The XCS10-3PC84C supports serial configuration from a PROM device and parallel slave configuration via an external microcontroller or host processor. It does not support master serial or JTAG-only configuration - JTAG is limited to programming and boundary-scan testing. The XCS10-3PC84C requires external non-volatile memory for power-up initialization due to its SRAM-based architecture.
Does the XCS10-3PC84C have internal configuration memory?
No, the XCS10-3PC84C uses volatile SRAM-based configuration memory and lacks on-chip non-volatile storage. It must be reconfigured at every power-on event using an external PROM or host-controlled parallel interface. This behavior is inherent to the Spartan-XL architecture and applies uniformly to all XCS10-3PC84C units regardless of batch or date code.
What voltage supplies does the XCS10-3PC84C require?
The XCS10-3PC84C requires two independent supply voltages: 5.0 V ±5% for internal core logic (VCCINT) and 3.3 V ±10% for I/O banks (VCCIO). These are physically separated pins on the PLCC-84 package and must be decoupled independently. Mixing or sharing these rails violates the XCS10-3PC84C electrical specification and may cause functional failure.
Is the XCS10-3PC84C RoHS compliant?
The XCS10-3PC84C is not RoHS compliant. It contains lead in the PLCC package solder finish and internal die attach materials, consistent with its original 1990s manufacturing process. AMD discontinued RoHS conversion for Spartan-XL devices; no lead-free variant of the XCS10-3PC84C was ever released or qualified.
Can the XCS10-3PC84C be used in new designs today?
Yes, the XCS10-3PC84C remains viable for new designs where legacy compatibility, long-term supply assurance, and proven field reliability are prioritized over power efficiency or advanced toolchain support. Aetrix Electronics maintains active inventory and provides full traceability, making the XCS10-3PC84C suitable for industrial retrofits and sustainment programs with 15+ year lifecycle expectations.
