XC3042-100PC84C

The XC3042-100PC84C is a commercial-grade FPGA from AMD's XC3000 logic cell array family. It provides a flexible, user-programmable fabric for general logic replacement and sub-system integration, combining a moderate gate count with on-chip RAM and a broad set of I/Os.

Designed for 5 V systems, this surface-mount device targets applications that require programmable logic with predictable performance, low-power options, and straightforward migration paths to mask-programmed devices for higher-volume production.

Key Features

• Core Logic 144 logic elements (CLBs) delivering approximately 3,000 gates for mid-density programmable logic and combinational/sequential integration.
• Embedded Memory 30,784 bits of on-chip RAM to support local data buffering, FIFOs, and small lookup tables.
• I/O Capacity Up to 74 user-definable I/Os to interface with a variety of external peripherals and subsystems.
• Performance Guaranteed toggle rates from 70 MHz to 125 MHz with logic delays in the 9 to 5.5 ns range for predictable timing in placed-and-routed designs.
• Power and Low-Power Options Advanced CMOS static memory technology with low quiescent and active power; ultra-low current option in Power-Down mode and a specified power-down supply current of 120 μA for the XC3042 device.
• Output Drive 4 mA output sink and source capability to drive standard logic loads directly.
• Supply and Temperature Operates from 4.75 V to 5.25 V (commercial grade) with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Package and Mounting 84-LCC (J-Lead) / 84-PLCC package (29.31 × 29.31 mm) optimized for surface-mount assembly.
• Compatibility and Migration 100% bitstream compatible with the XC3100 family and designed for easy migration to XC3300 HardWire mask-programmed devices for high-volume production.
• Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Logic Replacement and Glue Logic Consolidate discrete gates and glue logic into a single programmable device to reduce BOM and PCB area.
• Subsystem Integration Integrate small control and interface functions—such as bus bridging, protocol conversion, or custom peripherals—using embedded RAM and multiple I/Os.
• Prototyping and Low-to-Medium Volume Production Validate designs in-system and migrate to mask-programmed devices when scaling to higher production volumes.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Mid‑Density Logic: 144 logic elements and ~3,000 gates provide a practical balance of capacity and cost for many control and interface functions.
• Integrated RAM for Local Data Handling: 30,784 bits of on-chip RAM reduce the need for external memory in many buffering and LUT use cases.
• Versatile I/O Count: Up to 74 user I/Os simplify system-level integration and reduce reliance on external I/O expanders.
• Low-Power Standby Option: Ultra-low current Power-Down mode and device-specific power-down current (120 μA) help minimize standby power in battery-backed or low-power systems.
• Clear Migration Path: Bitstream compatibility with XC3100 and easy migration to XC3300 HardWire devices support design scalability from prototype to production.
• Commercial-Grade Robustness: Specified operating voltage and temperature ranges (4.75–5.25 V, 0 °C–85 °C) and RoHS compliance make this device suitable for mainstream commercial electronic products.
