XC3042L-8VQ100C

The XC3042L-8VQ100C is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from AMD in the XC3000A/L family. It delivers a compact, reprogrammable logic resource with on-chip memory and a moderate I/O count for space-constrained designs.

With 144 logic elements and approximately 30.7 Kbits of embedded RAM, this commercial-grade device targets applications that require customizable digital logic, flexible interfacing and low-voltage operation between 3 V and 3.6 V.

Key Features

• Core Logic  144 logic elements providing the programmable logic fabric suitable for glue logic, state machines and custom digital functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 30.7 Kbits of on-chip RAM to store state tables, small frame buffers or configuration data.
• I/O  82 available I/O pins to interface with peripherals, sensors and external logic in compact system layouts.
• Logic Density  Equivalent to 3,000 gates, enabling modest combinational and sequential logic implementations.
• Power  Supports a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V for compatibility with standard 3.3 V systems.
• Package and Mounting  100-TQFP surface-mount package (supplier device package: 100-VQFP, 14×14) for PCB designs requiring a low-profile, high-pin-count footprint.
• Operating Range  Commercial temperature grade with an operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant to support lead-free manufacturing processes.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping and Development  Reprogrammable logic ideal for testing custom digital architectures and validating interfaces before final implementation.
• Embedded Control and Interface  Use as a small-scale controller or interface bridge where 82 I/O and on-chip RAM provide connection and buffering to peripherals.
• Consumer Electronics  Compact 100-TQFP package and commercial-grade operating range suit consumer devices requiring configurable logic and moderate I/O density.
• Signal Glue and Protocol Bridging  Implement protocol conversion, timing adaptation or simple glue logic between disparate digital subsystems.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, reprogrammable logic: 144 logic elements and 3,000-gate equivalent density let designers implement custom digital functions without fixed ASIC development.
• On-chip RAM reduces external parts: Approximately 30.7 Kbits of embedded memory supports small buffers and state storage, lowering BOM and board complexity.
• Generous I/O count in a small package: 82 I/O in a 100-TQFP footprint enables multiple peripheral connections while preserving PCB real estate.
• Low-voltage compatibility: 3 V–3.6 V supply range aligns with common 3.3 V logic domains for straightforward power integration.
• Manufacturing-friendly packaging: Surface-mount 100-TQFP (supplier 100-VQFP, 14×14) supports high-volume assembly and compact product designs.
• RoHS compliant: Supports lead-free assembly processes and regulatory environmental requirements.
