XC4010E-3PQ208C

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The XC4010E-3PQ208C is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the Xilinx CoolRunner-II and Spartan-XL families, manufactured by AMD. It features 400 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and approximately 7000 equivalent logic gates. The device supports maximum clock frequencies up to 166 MHz and utilizes CMOS technology. It is housed in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP) with a fine-pitch footprint. The component is lead-free and RoHS compliant, designed for high-density digital logic applications requiring reliable programmable interconnects.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• High-density logic architecture with 400 CLBs for complex digital designs
• Robust I/O capabilities supporting diverse interface standards
• CMOS technology ensuring low power consumption and high speed

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring deterministic logic processing
• Telecommunications infrastructure for signal processing and protocol conversion
• Consumer electronics embedded logic and interface bridging

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '3' indicates the speed grade (-3) and 'C' denotes commercial temperature range when sourcing replacements. Confirm package integrity for the PQFP-208 form factor. Ensure compatibility with legacy programming tools if migrating from older Xilinx platforms. Check for end-of-life status or last-time-buy notices from authorized distributors.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 400 CLBs are sufficient for the design complexity. Compare against XC4005XL variants for lower gate counts or XC4010XL for potential cost optimizations. Consider the -3 speed grade requirements versus faster -1 or -2 grades if timing closure allows. Evaluate thermal management needs for the PQFP package in enclosed environments.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Spartan-XL series, an evolution of the original Spartan FPGA line. It bridges the gap between low-end CPLDs and high-end Virtex devices. The E variant typically denotes enhanced features or specific process improvements over standard Spartan-XL parts, offering improved performance and reliability for general-purpose logic applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements include XC4010E-3PQG208I for industrial temperature ranges. For non-lead-free requirements, check XC4010E-3PQ208C historical batches. Cross-reference with XC4005XL-3PQ208C if reduced logic resources are acceptable.
