XC3042A-7PC84C

The XC3042A-7PC84C is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) in the XC3000A/L family designed for surface-mount applications. It provides on-chip programmable logic, embedded RAM, and a set of general-purpose I/O in an 84-lead LCC (J-lead) package.

With 144 logic elements, approximately 30.8 Kbits of on-chip RAM, and 74 I/O pins, this device targets designs that require a compact, programmable logic solution with 5 V supply operation and commercial-temperature capability.

Key Features

• Core Logic 144 logic elements (cells) and approximately 3,000 equivalent gates provide the programmable logic resources for combinational and sequential designs.
• Embedded Memory Total on-chip RAM of 30,784 bits (approximately 30.8 Kbits) for small data buffering, state storage, and lookup tables.
• I/O 74 general-purpose I/O pins to connect peripherals, buses, and external logic directly to the FPGA fabric.
• Power Single-supply operation from 4.75 V to 5.25 V for standard 5 V systems.
• Package & Mounting 84-lead LCC (J‑lead) / 84-PLCC supplier package with dimensions 29.31 × 29.31 mm, offered as a surface-mount device for PCB assembly.
• Operating Conditions Commercial-grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature range.
• Compliance RoHS-compliant construction for environmental regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Glue Logic and Interface Control Implement custom interfacing and protocol glue using available logic elements and 74 I/O pins to bridge discrete components and subsystems.
• Control and Sequencing Deploy finite-state machines and control logic that leverage the device’s logic elements and on-chip RAM for small control tasks.
• Prototyping and Development Rapidly iterate simple programmable designs that fit within 144 logic elements and require modest embedded memory.
• Embedded System Support Provide peripheral aggregation, simple bussing, and signal conditioning tasks where a 5 V supply and commercial temperature range are suitable.

Unique Advantages

• Compact Logic Capacity: 144 logic elements and ~3,000 gates deliver a concise programmable resource set for compact digital designs without excessive cost or board area.
• Integrated RAM: Approximately 30.8 Kbits of on-chip RAM reduces the need for external memory for small buffers, LUTs, and state storage.
• Generous I/O Count: 74 I/O pins allow direct connection to multiple peripherals and interfaces, simplifying board-level routing and component count.
• Standard 5 V Operation: 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply compatibility makes integration straightforward in legacy and standard logic environments.
• Surface-Mount PLCC Package: 84-PLCC (29.31 × 29.31 mm) J‑lead package provides a familiar form factor for PCB designers and assemblers.
• RoHS Compliant: Environmentally compliant construction supports regulatory requirements for lead-free assemblies.
