XC3090-100PQ160C

The XC3090-100PQ160C is a commercial-grade FPGA in the XC3000 logic cell array family. It provides 320 logic elements and approximately 64 Kbits of on-chip RAM (64,160 bits) with 138 user-configurable I/Os, delivering a flexible platform for general logic replacement and sub-system integration.

Built for designers who need moderate gate density and configurable I/O, the device supports 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply operation and a commercial operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C, packaged in a 160-BQFP surface-mount form factor.

Key Features

• Core Logic 320 logic elements (CLBs) and a gate-equivalent count of approximately 6,000 gates provide the building blocks for glue logic and mid-density integration.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 64 Kbits of on-chip RAM (64,160 bits) for data buffering, state storage, and small lookup tables.
• I/O Density & Flexibility 138 user-definable I/O pins support a wide range of custom interface needs for peripheral and subsystem connectivity.
• Performance Series-level performance characteristics include guaranteed toggle rates in the 70–125 MHz range and logic delays on the order of 9 to 5.5 ns, suitable for many synchronous logic applications.
• Power and Power-Down Designed with low quiescent and active power characteristics; includes an ultra-low current option in Power-Down mode and a documented power-down supply behavior (VCCPD = 2.30 V).
• Output Drive Outputs rated for 4 mA source and sink drive capability, enabling direct interfacing with many TTL/CMOS-compatible loads.
• Package & Mounting Surface-mount 160-BQFP package (supplier package: 160-PQFP, 28×28 mm) for compact board-level integration.
• Commercial Grade & Operating Range Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and recommended VCC of 4.75 V to 5.25 V for commercial operation.
• Family-Level Compatibility XC3000 family features include 100% bitstream compatibility with the XC3100 family and ease of migration toward XC3300 HardWire devices for production scaling.

Typical Applications

• General Logic Replacement Replace discrete logic or CPLD implementations with a reprogrammable FPGA to consolidate functions and reduce PCB component count.
• Sub-system Integration Integrate multiple control or glue-logic functions into a single device to simplify board design and improve maintainability.
• I/O-Intensive Interfaces Deploy where many user-definable I/Os are required for custom peripheral interfacing or protocol bridging.
• Low-Power Standby Designs Use the device’s power-down option and low standby currents for applications that require minimal power when inactive.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, mid-density logic 320 logic elements and ~6,000 gate capacity deliver the right balance of resources for medium-complexity designs without overprovisioning.
• Generous I/O count 138 user-definable I/Os reduce the need for external multiplexing or I/O expanders, simplifying system-level routing and BOM.
• Integrated RAM Approximately 64 Kbits of embedded memory supports buffering, small state machines, and lookup tables directly on-chip.
• Power management options Low quiescent/active power characteristics plus an ultra-low current power-down mode help optimize energy use across duty cycles.
• Production migration path Family-level bitstream compatibility and documented migration to mask-programmed XC3300 HardWire devices enable design scalability for higher-volume production.
• Standard surface-mount packaging 160-BQFP (28×28 supplier PQFP) supports established PCB assembly flows and compact board layouts.
