The XC3000A family offers the following enhancements over the popular XC3000 family:
The XC3000A family has additional interconnect resources to drive the l-inputs of TBUFs driving horizontal Longlines.The CLB Clock Enable input can be driven from a second vertical Longline.These two additions result in more efficient and faster designs when horizontal Longlines are used for data bussing.
During configuration, the XC3000A 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 SoftStartup, avoids the potential ground bounce when all out-puts are turned on simultaneously. After start-up, the slew rate of the individual outputs is, as in the XC3000 family, determined by the individual configuration option.
The XC3000A family is a superset of the XC3000 family. Any bitstream used to configure an XC3000, XC3100 orXC3100A device configures an XC3000A device exactly the same way.

Xilinx is a leading provider of programmable logic devices and associated technologies. As a top producer of programmable FPGAs, SoCs, MPSoCs, and 3D ICs, Xilinx has expanded quickly. Software defined and hardware optimized applications are supported by Xilinx, advancing the fields of cloud computing, SDN/NFV, video/vision, industrial IoT, and 5G wireless.
One of Xilinx's key innovations is the development of the Xilinx Vivado Design Suite, a comprehensive software toolchain used for designing and programming their FPGAs and SoCs. This suite provides developers with the necessary tools to create, simulate, and implement their designs on Xilinx devices.
In October 2020, Xilinx was acquired by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a major player in the semiconductor industry. This acquisition has enabled AMD to enhance its product portfolio and expand its offerings into the rapidly growing FPGA market.
