The XC3000A and XC3000L families offer the following
enhancements over the popular XC3000 family:
0 A
X C 3 1 0
The XC3000A and XC3000L families have additional inter-
0 L
X C 3 1 0

X C 3 1 0
connect resources to drive the I-inputs of TBUFs driving
horizontal Longlines. The CLB Clock Enable input can be
0 A
X C 3 0 0
driven from a second vertical Longline. These two additions
0 L
X C 3 0 0
result in more efficient and faster designs when horizontal
S p e e d
Longlines are used for data bussing.
During configuration, the XC3000A and XC3000L devices
check the bit-stream format for stop bits in the appropriate
positions. Any error terminates the configuration and pulls
INIT Low.
When the configuration process is finished and the device
starts up in user mode, the first activation of the outputs is
automatically slew-rate limited. This feature, called Soft
c i t y
C a p a
G a t e
Startup, avoids the potential ground bounce when all
out-puts are turned on simultaneously. After start-up, the
X7068
slew rate of the individual outputs is, as in the XC3000 fam-
ily, determined by the individual configuration option.

Based on a more advanced CMOS process, the XC3100A
and XC3100L families are architecturally-identical, perfor-
mance-optimized relatives of the XC3000A and XC3000L
families. While all families are footprint compatible, the
XC3100A family extends achievable system performance
beyond 85 MHz.
