Product details
Overview
XC2S150-6FG456C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-II family FPGA with 150,000 system gates, 1728 logic cells, and a 6 ns CLB delay. It features 224 I/O pins in a 456-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package and operates at 3.3 V supply voltage. It is used in industrial control logic, digital signal preprocessing, and reconfigurable peripheral interface design.
For engineers reviewing the XC2S150-6FG456C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O count, CLB propagation delay, system gate density, supply voltage compatibility, and FBGA thermal-mechanical performance in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The XC2S150-6FG456C implements configurable logic blocks (CLBs) with four-input LUTs and flip-flops, distributed RAM resources (up to 56 kbits), and dedicated carry logic for arithmetic functions. Its SelectIO™ technology supports LVCMOS, LVTTL, PCI, and HSTL I/O standards with programmable slew rate and drive strength.
Configuration is performed via serial mode using an external PROM or parallel slave mode with a microprocessor. The device includes internal global clock networks with low-skew routing and supports up to four user-defined global clocks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| System Gates | 150,000 - defines maximum combinational logic capacity for logic synthesis mapping |
| Logic Cells | 1,728 - each contains a 4-LUT and a flip-flop, enabling synchronous sequential logic implementation |
| CLB Delay | 6 ns - worst-case propagation delay through one CLB, critical for maximum operating frequency estimation |
| I/O Pins | 224 - bidirectional user-configurable pins supporting multiple voltage-referenced I/O standards |
| Package | 456-pin FBGA (Fine-Pitch BGA) - 23×23 mm body, 1.0 mm ball pitch, suitable for high-density PCB layouts |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±10% - core and I/O supply; requires decoupling per Xilinx Spartan-II DC/AC specs |
| Operating Temperature | 0 °C to +70 °C - commercial grade rating, validated for non-extended ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
XC2S150-6FG456C is housed in a 456-ball fine-pitch BGA (FBGA) package with 224 user I/Os, 8 dedicated configuration pins (e.g., INIT_B, PROGRAM_B, DONE), 4 global clock inputs, and power/ground balls distributed across the array for EMI and thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IO_L0P_0 | Configurable I/O bank 0, positive differential pair | Supports LVDS input when paired with IO_L0N_0; requires external termination for differential signaling |
| CLK0 | Dedicated global clock input | Connects directly to internal low-skew clock network; must be driven by clean, low-jitter source |
| PROGRAM_B | Active-low configuration initiation | Pulling low resets configuration logic and initiates reload from PROM or master processor |
| DONE | Configuration status indicator | Open-drain output asserted high when configuration completes successfully and device enters user mode |
| VCCO_1 | I/O bank 1 supply | Provides 3.3 V to bank 1 I/Os; must be independently decoupled from core VCCINT |
| VCCINT | Core logic supply | 3.3 V supply for CLBs and interconnect; requires tight regulation and local ceramic decoupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) | Each CLB contains two 4-input LUTs and two flip-flops, enabling efficient implementation of state machines and pipelined logic |
| SelectIO™ Technology | Programmable drive strength (2–24 mA) and slew rate per I/O bank, reducing signal integrity issues in mixed-voltage systems |
| Distributed RAM | Up to 56 kbits of fast, asynchronous block RAM implemented within CLBs for register-file or FIFO use |
| Global Clock Networks | Four independent low-skew clock trees support simultaneous multi-domain clocking without external fanout buffers |
| Boundary-Scan (JTAG) | IEEE 1149.1-compliant test access port enables in-system programming and board-level interconnect testing |

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC2S150-6FG456C?
The XC2S150-6FG456C supports master serial, slave serial, and slave parallel configuration modes. It uses an external PROM (e.g., XCF02S) in master serial mode or connects to a microprocessor in slave parallel mode. Configuration data is loaded into SRAM cells on power-up, making the device volatile without external memory.
Does XC2S150-6FG456C support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, XC2S150-6FG456C includes IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG circuitry for boundary-scan testing, in-system programming, and debug access. The TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and TROUT pins are dedicated for this function and operate independently of user I/O banks.
What I/O standards are compatible with XC2S150-6FG456C?
XC2S150-6FG456C supports LVCMOS, LVTTL, PCI, and HSTL I/O standards across its 224 user pins. Each I/O bank has independent VCCO supply, allowing mixed-voltage operation. Differential signaling (e.g., LVDS) is supported only in specific pin pairs with matching P/N assignments.
Is XC2S150-6FG456C still in active production?
No, XC2S150-6FG456C is obsolete per AMD/Xilinx Product Change Notifications. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains verified legacy inventory with full traceability and provides extended lifecycle support including obsolescence monitoring and cross-reference guidance for migration paths.
What thermal considerations apply to XC2S150-6FG456C in the 456-pin FBGA package?
XC2S150-6FG456C in the 456-pin FBGA requires a minimum of six thermal vias under the package body connected to inner-layer ground planes. The recommended PCB footprint follows Xilinx DS002 guidelines, and junction temperature must remain below 85 °C under worst-case static and dynamic power conditions.
