Product details
Overview
XC2S150-5PQG208C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-II family FPGA with 150,000 system gates, 176 configurable logic blocks (CLBs), 208-pin PQFP package, and -5 speed grade (5 ns CLB delay). It serves as a reconfigurable digital logic fabric in industrial control interfaces and legacy protocol bridging systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC2S150-5PQG208C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O count (176 user I/Os), distributed RAM capacity (144 Kbits), global clock network resources (4 dedicated clock pins), and support for LVCMOS/LVTTL I/O standards at 3.3 V.
Technical Context
The XC2S150-5PQG208C implements a fine-grained architecture with four-input LUTs and flip-flops per CLB, enabling efficient implementation of synchronous state machines and combinatorial logic. It integrates dual-port distributed RAM (16 bits per CLB) and supports boundary-scan testing via IEEE 1149.1 compliant TAP controller.
Configuration is performed through serial mode using an external PROM or parallel slave mode via CPU bus interface. The device lacks on-chip configuration memory and requires external bitstream loading at power-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Capacity | 150,000 system gates - defines maximum combinational logic density for gate-equivalent synthesis |
| Configurable Logic Blocks | 176 CLBs - each contains two 4-input LUTs and two flip-flops, forming basic logic unit |
| User I/O Pins | 176 - supports high-pin-count parallel interfaces such as ISA or custom bus protocols |
| Distributed RAM | 144 Kbits - implemented as shift registers or small lookup tables without block RAM resources |
| I/O Standards | LVCMOS, LVTTL - compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers and peripheral ICs without level-shifting |
| Speed Grade | -5 - guarantees 5 ns CLB propagation delay under worst-case commercial conditions (0–70°C) |
| Configuration Mode | Serial or Parallel Slave - requires external PROM or host processor to load bitstream at startup |
Pinout & Package
XC2S150-5PQG208C uses a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) with 0.5 mm pitch, 28 × 28 mm body size, and exposed thermal pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GCK0–GCK3 | Global Clock Input | Dedicated low-skew routing to all CLBs; essential for synchronous timing closure |
| PROGRAM_B | Configuration Initiate | Active-low signal that resets configuration logic and clears internal SRAM before reload |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Accepts configuration bitstream in master serial mode; driven by external PROM |
| INIT_B | Configuration Status | Open-drain output indicating successful CRC check or configuration error |
| TMS, TDI, TDO, TCK | JTAG Boundary-Scan Interface | Enables IEEE 1149.1 compliance for board-level test and in-system programming |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four-input LUT architecture | Enables efficient mapping of Boolean functions up to 4 variables without decomposition |
| Dual flip-flop per CLB | Supports pipelined logic stages and registered outputs for timing-critical paths |
| 176 user-configurable I/Os | Allows direct connection to legacy parallel buses (e.g., 16-bit data + address + control) |
| IEEE 1149.1 JTAG support | Permits boundary-scan testing and in-circuit debugging without physical probe access |
| Multi-voltage I/O banks | Each bank independently configurable for 3.3 V or 2.5 V signaling (VCCO dependent) |

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC2S150-5PQG208C?
The XC2S150-5PQG208C supports master serial, slave serial, and slave parallel configuration modes. It requires an external PROM or microcontroller to load the configuration bitstream at power-up since it has no on-chip nonvolatile memory. The XC2S150-5PQG208C does not support JTAG configuration as a primary method, though JTAG is used for boundary-scan testing and debug.
Does XC2S150-5PQG208C support 2.5 V I/O operation?
Yes, XC2S150-5PQG208C supports 2.5 V I/O signaling when VCCO for the relevant bank is set to 2.5 V. Each I/O bank is independently configurable for either 3.3 V or 2.5 V operation, allowing mixed-voltage interfacing. The XC2S150-5PQG208C datasheet specifies DC characteristics and timing parameters separately for each VCCO level.
What is the maximum operating frequency of the global clock inputs on XC2S150-5PQG208C?
The XC2S150-5PQG208C supports global clock input frequencies up to 125 MHz under commercial temperature conditions. This limit derives from the -5 speed grade's guaranteed timing closure for internal CLB-to-CLB paths and accounts for clock network skew and jitter. The XC2S150-5PQG208C includes four dedicated GCK pins routed to low-skew global buffers.
Is XC2S150-5PQG208C RoHS compliant?
XC2S150-5PQG208C is available in both RoHS-compliant (PQG suffix) and non-RoHS (PQ suffix) variants. The 'G' in PQG208 indicates lead-free finish and RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The XC2S150-5PQG208C part number explicitly denotes the RoHS-compliant version with matte tin lead finish.
Can XC2S150-5PQG208C be reprogrammed in-system?
XC2S150-5PQG208C supports in-system reconfiguration via its slave parallel or slave serial mode, provided an external controller manages the PROGRAM_B, INIT_B, and data lines. While it lacks internal flash, the XC2S150-5PQG208C can be reloaded dynamically during operation using a host processor - subject to design-level isolation of configuration logic from active logic.
