Product details
Overview
XC2S150-6FGG256C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-II family FPGA with 150,000 system gates, 176 configurable logic blocks (CLBs), 256-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package, and -6 speed grade (6 ns CLB delay). It is used in industrial control logic, digital signal preprocessing, and low-cost reconfigurable I/O bridging.
For engineers reviewing the XC2S150-6FGG256C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O count (176 user I/Os), distributed RAM capacity (144 kbits), global clock network support, and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan compliance for in-system programming and test.
Technical Context
The XC2S150-6FGG256C implements synchronous logic using four-input LUTs and flip-flops per CLB slice, with dedicated carry logic for arithmetic functions. It supports SelectIO™ standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, and PCI-compatible signaling across its 176 user I/O pins.
Configuration is performed via serial mode using an external PROM or parallel slave mode with a microcontroller. The device includes internal 2.5 V VCCINT and supports 3.3 V VCCO for I/O banks, enabling mixed-voltage interfacing without level shifters.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XC2S150-6FGG256C?
The XC2S150-6FGG256C has a -6 speed grade specifying a 6 ns CLB propagation delay. Typical maximum system clock frequency ranges from 120 MHz to 160 MHz depending on design topology, routing, and resource utilization. Timing analysis must be performed using Xilinx ISE software with the specific constraints applied to XC2S150-6FGG256C.
Does XC2S150-6FGG256C support in-system programming?
Yes, XC2S150-6FGG256C supports in-system programming via its IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO pins). This enables configuration bitstream loading, boundary-scan testing, and debug access without removing the device from the PCB. The XC2S150-6FGG256C does not require external configuration PROM for JTAG-based programming.
What power supply voltages are required for XC2S150-6FGG256C?
XC2S150-6FGG256C requires two separate supply voltages: 2.5 V for VCCINT (core logic) and 3.3 V for VCCO (I/O banks). Each I/O bank has its own VCCO pin, allowing mixed-voltage operation. Decoupling capacitors must be placed adjacent to respective power balls per Xilinx layout guidelines for XC2S150-6FGG256C.
Can XC2S150-6FGG256C be used in automotive applications?
No, XC2S150-6FGG256C is rated for commercial and industrial temperature ranges (0°C to +70°C for C-grade), not automotive AEC-Q100 qualification. Its packaging, test coverage, and lifetime reliability data do not meet automotive requirements. For automotive use, consider Xilinx Automotive (XA) variants or newer AMD Adaptive SoCs explicitly qualified for automotive environments.
Is there a pin-compatible replacement for XC2S150-6FGG256C with higher logic density?
Yes, XC2S200-6FGG256C is pin-compatible with XC2S150-6FGG256C and shares the same 256-ball FBGA package and -6 speed grade. It provides 200,000 system gates and 216 CLBs while maintaining identical I/O count and timing characteristics, making it a direct upgrade path without PCB changes.
