Discontinuation of Low Volume XC3X00 Packages

Low Volume Device Package Replacement Guide

Summary

Xilinx is streamlining the XC3X00 family by discontinuing ordering codes with minimal customer impact. Minimal orders and shipments, an indication of low market acceptance, are the primary criteria for selecting XC3X00 packages to discontinue. This streamlining affects mostly Pin Grid Array (PGA) packages.

Please see the attached table for the discontinued part numbers and their corresponding replacement part numbers. Please note that the replacement part numbers are not necessarily form, fit and function replacements. Those which are not form, fit and function replacements are highlighted by an *.

Timeline

Xilinx will continue to accept orders for the selected discontinued XC3X00 PGA packages until December 31, 1998. Last shipments of these products will occur no later than March 31, 1999. (Please see PDN97005 and PDN97006)

Please contact your local Xilinx Sales Representative if you require additional information, or assistance, regarding the changes described in this customer advisory.
