Need XILINX XC3030-70

[Carlos]

Hi all,

I need a chip XILINX (XC3030-70) or any other equivalent, to repair my
LX200 Telescope's electronic board. I've been looking for such device
and it seems to be discontinued. Any information about this device
will be wellcome.

Thanks,
Carlos Oliveira

This is probably a programmable device (FPGA) so just getting a new
Xilinx chip will not help you if you don't have A) the file to put
into the chip and B) the means to get the file into the chip.

The part is a programmable device but programming information doesn't
reside on chip - serial EPROM, flash PROM, parallel EPROM or external
processor can load the FPGA.

Digikey carries the XC3030 or XC3030A in various packages. I have six
XC3030-50PC84C (84 pin PLCC) that I will let go of for a very reasonable
price. E-mail me if interested.
