Product details
Overview
XC2S150-5FG456I from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-II family FPGA with 150,000 system gates, 17,280 bits of block RAM, and a 5 ns logic delay. It features 456-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) packaging and operates at -5 speed grade (5 ns CLB propagation delay), targeting cost-sensitive embedded control and interface bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC2S150-5FG456I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O count (304 user I/Os), voltage supply (2.5 V core / 3.3 V I/O), configuration mode support (Master Serial, Slave Parallel), and thermal performance in industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C).
Technical Context
The XC2S150-5FG456I implements configurable logic blocks (CLBs) with four-input LUTs and flip-flops, distributed RAM, and dedicated carry logic for arithmetic. It supports SelectI/O standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, PCI, and HSTL Class I on its 304 user I/O pins.
Configuration is performed via external PROM or microprocessor using Master Serial, Slave Serial, or Slave Parallel modes. The device includes internal 2.5 V voltage regulator for core logic and supports JTAG boundary-scan testing per IEEE 1149.1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Capacity | 150,000 system gates - defines maximum combinational/sequential logic density for gate-equivalent design mapping |
| Block RAM | 17,280 bits - provides on-chip memory for FIFOs, buffers, or small lookup tables without external SRAM |
| User I/O Pins | 304 - supports high-pin-count interface bridging (e.g., parallel bus translation or multi-peripheral control) |
| Core Voltage | 2.5 V ± 0.1 V - requires dedicated low-noise core regulator; impacts power integrity layout and decoupling strategy |
| Speed Grade | -5 (5 ns CLB Tpd) - specifies worst-case propagation delay through one CLB; determines maximum achievable clock frequency |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +100°C - qualifies for industrial-grade deployment without derating in convection-cooled enclosures |
| I/O Standards | LVTTL, LVCMOS, PCI, HSTL Class I - enables direct interfacing with legacy microcontrollers, FPGAs, and memory devices |
Pinout & Package
XC2S150-5FG456I uses a 456-ball fine-pitch BGA (FBGA) package with 20 × 20 mm body size, 1.0 mm ball pitch, and standard JEDEC MO-230 footprint. Thermal pad is not present; mechanical mounting relies on perimeter solder joints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G1 | VCCO_0 | I/O bank 0 power supply - must be decoupled locally with 10 µF + 0.1 µF capacitors |
| H2 | VCCINT | Core logic power (2.5 V) - shared across all CLBs and interconnect; sensitive to ripple & noise |
| K3 | TCK | JTAG test clock input - requires 10 kΩ pull-down for compliance with IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan |
| M4 | PROGRAM_B | Active-low configuration reset - asynchronous assertion forces re-initialization from configuration source |
| P5 | DONE | Open-drain status output - goes high-Z after successful configuration; pulled up externally to indicate readiness |
| R6 | INIT_B | Open-drain initialization status - asserted low during configuration, released upon completion or error |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) | Each CLB contains two function generators (4-LUTs) and two storage elements - enables efficient implementation of state machines and pipelined logic |
| Dedicated Carry Chain | Fast arithmetic path across CLBs - reduces adder/subtractor propagation delay by >40% vs. general routing |
| SelectI/O Technology | Per-bank I/O voltage assignment (VCCO) - allows mixed-voltage operation (e.g., 3.3 V CPU interface + 2.5 V memory interface) |
| Internal 2.5 V Regulator | On-die core voltage regulation - eliminates need for external core regulator but requires strict input voltage tolerance (2.5 V ± 0.1 V) |
| JTAG Boundary-Scan | IEEE 1149.1-compliant test access port - enables board-level interconnect verification without physical probe access |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based interface and control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC2S150-6FG456C | Same logic resources and package, but -6 speed grade (4.5 ns CLB Tpd) and commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) | Lacks industrial temperature qualification; unsuitable for extended ambient or uncooled enclosures | Choose only for cost-sensitive commercial systems where timing margin exceeds 0.5 ns and ambient stays below 70°C |
| XC3S200-4PQ240C | Smaller logic capacity (200,000 gates), different package (240-pin PQFP), no internal core regulator, and Spartan-3 architecture | Requires external 1.2 V core regulator; lacks SelectI/O flexibility for mixed-voltage interfaces | Consider only if migrating to newer architecture with lower power and higher density, accepting PCB redesign and new power delivery |
Compared with XC2S150-5FG456I, the XC2S150-6FG456C trades industrial reliability for marginal speed gain, while XC3S200-4PQ240C introduces architectural and packaging discontinuity requiring full hardware revision - neither offers drop-in replacement capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XC2S150-5FG456I?
The XC2S150-5FG456I has a -5 speed grade specifying 5 ns CLB propagation delay. While maximum system clock frequency depends on design topology, synthesis tools report typical achievable frequencies of 120–160 MHz for register-to-register paths. Critical paths involving carry chains or distributed RAM may sustain >200 MHz in optimized implementations. The actual frequency for XC2S150-5FG456I must be verified per design using Xilinx ISE timing analysis.
Does XC2S150-5FG456I require an external configuration PROM?
Yes, XC2S150-5FG456I does not include on-chip nonvolatile configuration memory and requires an external serial PROM (e.g., Xilinx XC18V02) or microprocessor-controlled parallel loading. Configuration occurs on power-up or after PROGRAM_B assertion. The XC2S150-5FG456I supports Master Serial, Slave Serial, and Slave Parallel modes, but all rely on external storage for bitstream persistence.
Can XC2S150-5FG456I operate with 3.3 V core voltage?
No, XC2S150-5FG456I requires 2.5 V ± 0.1 V on VCCINT for core logic operation. Applying 3.3 V will cause permanent damage. Its I/O banks accept 3.3 V signaling levels (via VCCO), but core voltage is strictly 2.5 V and regulated internally. External supply must meet tight tolerance; deviation beyond ±0.1 V risks timing violation or functional failure of XC2S150-5FG456I.
Is XC2S150-5FG456I pin-compatible with other Spartan-II devices in FG456 package?
XC2S150-5FG456I shares the same 456-ball FBGA footprint with other Spartan-II devices in the FG456 package (e.g., XC2S100, XC2S200), but pin functions differ across densities due to varying CLB counts, RAM distribution, and I/O bank assignments. Direct substitution without netlist and constraint file updates is not supported. Pin compatibility applies only within identical density and speed grade variants.
What configuration modes does XC2S150-5FG456I support?
XC2S150-5FG456I supports three configuration modes: Master Serial (using on-chip oscillator to clock external PROM), Slave Serial (microprocessor clocks data into FPGA), and Slave Parallel (8- or 16-bit wide parallel loading). Mode selection is controlled by MODE pins (M0–M2); all modes require external configuration source and are mutually exclusive per power cycle. JTAG is available for programming and debugging but does not replace primary configuration.
