Field programmable gate array. The XC3030A-6PC68C is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Xilinx. Below are its specifications, descriptions, and features based on factual information:
### **Specifications:**
- **Manufacturer:** Xilinx
- **Family:** XC3000 Series
- **Part Number:** XC3030A-6PC68C
- **Logic Cells/Gates:** ~3,000 gates (varies by configuration)
- **Speed Grade:** -6 (indicating performance level)
- **Package:** 68-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC)
- **Operating Voltage:** 5V (standard for XC3000 series)
- **Configuration:** SRAM-based (requires external configuration memory)
- **I/O Pins:** Depends on package and configuration (PLCC68 has a limited number)
- **Operating Temperature:** Commercial (0°C to +70°C)
### **Descriptions:**
- The XC3030A is a mid-range FPGA from Xilinx’s XC3000 family, designed for flexible digital logic implementation.
- It is SRAM-based, meaning it must be reconfigured at power-up using an external PROM or microcontroller.
- The -6 speed grade indicates moderate performance suitable for many general-purpose applications.
- The PLCC68 package is a through-hole or socket-mountable option for prototyping and development.
### **Features:**
- **Programmable Logic Blocks (CLBs):** Contains configurable logic blocks for implementing combinational and sequential logic.
- **Interconnect Resources:** Flexible routing for custom logic designs.
- **5V Operation:** Compatible with standard TTL logic levels.
- **Reconfigurable:** Can be reprogrammed multiple times for design iterations.
- **Wide Applications:** Used in digital signal processing, telecommunications, and embedded systems (now considered legacy).
