XC3000A Field Programmable Gate Array IC -- AMD XC3064A-7PC84C Chip Details
1. Overview
The AMD XC3064A-7PC84C is a member of the Xilinx XC3000 family of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), now under AMD's product portfolio following its acquisition of Xilinx. This device features an 84-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package and operates at a speed grade of -7, optimized for balanced performance and power efficiency. Designed for flexible digital logic implementation, it offers approximately 1,200 usable gates and 64 logic cells, making it suitable for low- to medium-complexity applications. The chip operates at a 5V core voltage and supports a wide range of I/O standards, ensuring compatibility with legacy systems and mixed-signal environments.
2. Key Features
The XC3064A-7PC84C boasts a highly configurable architecture with programmable logic blocks (CLBs), interconnect resources, and dedicated I/O modules. It includes 64 logic cells, each capable of implementing combinatorial or sequential logic functions, and provides 58 user I/O pins for versatile interfacing. The FPGA utilizes SRAM-based configuration technology, enabling in-system reprogrammability for design iterations. With a typical propagation delay of 7 ns, it achieves a maximum internal frequency of up to 50 MHz, while consuming less than 500mW under active operation. Its robust design supports commercial temperature ranges (0°C to 70°C) and includes built-in ESD protection for enhanced reliability.
3. Applications
This FPGA is widely adopted in embedded control systems, industrial automation, and legacy electronic upgrades. Common use cases include motor control interfaces, communication protocol bridging (e.g., RS-232 to SPI), and simple data acquisition systems. Its reprogrammable nature also makes it ideal for prototyping small-scale ASIC designs, educational electronics projects, and retro-computing hardware restoration. Additionally, it serves as a cost-effective solution for automotive diagnostics tools and low-speed signal processing in consumer electronics.
4. Selection Advantages
Choosing the XC3064A-7PC84C provides engineers with a balance of affordability and flexibility. Its mature architecture is supported by AMD/Xilinx's legacy development tools (e.g., XACT Design Suite), simplifying design entry and verification. Compared to fixed-function ICs, it eliminates costly custom ASIC development and enables rapid design modifications. The device's low power consumption and compact footprint make it ideal for space-constrained or battery-powered applications. For legacy system maintenance, it offers long-term availability and direct compatibility with older 5V logic families, reducing redesign efforts. Its cost efficiency and reliability cement its role in low-volume, high-mix production scenarios.
