Product details
Overview
XC2S100-5PQ208C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-II family FPGA with 100,000 system gates, 1728 logic cells, 112 I/O pins, and 40 kB of block RAM. It features a 5 ns CLB propagation delay and supports 3.3 V I/O with 2.5 V internal core voltage. It is used in industrial control logic, digital video interface bridging, and low-cost reconfigurable embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the XC2S100-5PQ208C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O count, CLB delay, block RAM capacity, core voltage compatibility, and QFP208 package constraints for thermal and routing design.
Technical Context
The XC2S100-5PQ208C implements a hierarchical architecture with Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), distributed RAM, and dedicated carry logic. It uses SRAM-based configuration with external PROM or processor loading via JTAG or SelectMAP interface.
It supports LVCMOS/LVTTL I/O standards, global clock networks with four dedicated clock buffers, and DLL-based clock deskew for synchronous timing closure. Configuration occurs on power-up using external serial or parallel PROM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| System Gates | 100,000 - indicates logic density suitable for mid-complexity control and interface functions |
| Logic Cells | 1728 - defines maximum combinational and sequential logic resource count |
| I/O Pins | 112 - usable user-defined bidirectional signal terminals in PQ208 package |
| Block RAM | 40 kB - on-chip memory for FIFOs, lookup tables, or small buffer storage |
| CLB Propagation Delay | 5 ns - determines maximum combinational path frequency in critical timing paths |
| Core Voltage | 2.5 V - requires dedicated core regulator; not compatible with 3.3 V or 1.8 V core supplies |
| I/O Voltage | 3.3 V - supports direct interfacing with standard PCI, LVTTL, and LVCMOS peripherals |
Pinout & Package
PQ208 is a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack with 0.5 mm pitch, 28 × 28 mm body, and exposed thermal pad. It supports lead-free assembly and meets JEDEC MS-026 standard.

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC2S100-5PQ208C?
The XC2S100-5PQ208C supports multiple configuration modes: Master Serial (via external PROM), Slave Serial (via microcontroller), SelectMAP (parallel), and JTAG boundary scan. Configuration bitstream is loaded into internal SRAM on power-up or upon PROGRAM_B assertion. The XC2S100-5PQ208C does not retain configuration without external nonvolatile storage.
Does XC2S100-5PQ208C support differential I/O standards like LVDS?
No, the XC2S100-5PQ208C does not support LVDS or other differential I/O standards natively. Its I/O banks support only single-ended standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, and PCI. For differential signaling, external termination or a newer FPGA such as XC3S100E-4PQ208C is required. The XC2S100-5PQ208C specification explicitly excludes LVDS capability.
What is the maximum operating frequency for user logic in XC2S100-5PQ208C?
The XC2S100-5PQ208C has a 5 ns CLB propagation delay, enabling typical user logic paths to operate up to ~125 MHz under balanced conditions. Actual maximum frequency depends on routing, register placement, and I/O timing constraints. The XC2S100-5PQ208C datasheet specifies worst-case Tco and Tsu values for synthesis and place-and-route timing analysis.
Can XC2S100-5PQ208C be used in automotive applications?
The XC2S100-5PQ208C is rated for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and is not qualified to AEC-Q100. It lacks automotive-grade screening, extended temperature support, or failure-in-time (FIT) data. While functionally usable in controlled cabin environments, the XC2S100-5PQ208C is not recommended for under-hood or safety-critical automotive systems.
Is there a pin-compatible replacement for XC2S100-5PQ208C with lower power consumption?
No pin-compatible lower-power replacement exists within the Spartan-II family. The XC2S100-5PQ208C's 2.5 V core is already optimized for its generation. Later families like Spartan-3E offer better power efficiency but require board redesign due to different pinouts, voltage requirements, and configuration schemes. The XC2S100-5PQ208C remains the lowest-power option in its footprint class.
