Product details
Overview
XC2S150-6PQ208C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-II family FPGA with 150,000 system gates, 1728 logic cells, and 128 I/O pins in a 208-pin PQFP package. It operates at 6 ns CLB delay, supports 3.3 V I/O, and targets cost-sensitive embedded control and interface bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC2S150-6PQ208C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O count, CLB performance, configuration mode support (Master Serial, Slave Parallel), and 3.3 V tolerant I/O compatibility with microcontrollers and peripheral ICs.
Technical Context
The XC2S150-6PQ208C implements configurable logic blocks (CLBs) with dual 4-input LUTs and flip-flops per slice, distributed RAM up to 128 bits per CLB, and dedicated carry logic for high-speed arithmetic. It includes global clock buffers and four dedicated clock inputs.
Configuration is performed via serial PROM (Master Serial mode) or parallel data bus (Slave Parallel mode), with JTAG boundary-scan support for testing. The device uses SRAM-based configuration memory and requires external nonvolatile storage for power-up initialization.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA logic implementation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC2S150-5PQ208C | 5 ns CLB delay vs. 6 ns; marginally higher max frequency (133 MHz) | Suitable where tighter timing closure is required in critical datapaths | Select when design meets timing at -5 speed grade but fails at -6; same pinout and configuration |

FAQ
What configuration modes does the XC2S150-6PQ208C support?
The XC2S150-6PQ208C supports Master Serial, Slave Parallel, and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG configuration modes. Master Serial uses an external serial PROM; Slave Parallel accepts configuration data through its 8- or 16-bit data bus; JTAG enables in-system programming and boundary-scan testing. All modes initialize the same SRAM-based configuration memory inside the XC2S150-6PQ208C.
Does the XC2S150-6PQ208C require external configuration memory?
Yes, the XC2S150-6PQ208C uses volatile SRAM configuration memory and requires external nonvolatile storage-such as a Xilinx XC18V00-series PROM or SPI flash-to reload the bitstream on power-up. Without external memory, the XC2S150-6PQ208C remains unconfigured after reset.
What is the I/O voltage tolerance of the XC2S150-6PQ208C?
The XC2S150-6PQ208C supports 3.3 V LVTTL and LVCMOS I/O standards with input tolerance up to 3.6 V and output drive compatible with 3.3 V systems. Its I/O banks are not 5 V tolerant, and direct connection to 5 V logic without level translation may damage the XC2S150-6PQ208C.
Can the XC2S150-6PQ208C implement memory functions internally?
Yes, the XC2S150-6PQ208C provides distributed RAM-up to 128 bits per CLB-usable as asynchronous or synchronous RAM, shift registers, or ROM. It does not contain dedicated block RAM; larger memory arrays require external devices or synthesis into CLB-based structures within the XC2S150-6PQ208C fabric.
Is the XC2S150-6PQ208C pin-compatible with other Spartan-II devices in PQ208 package?
XC2S150-6PQ208C is pin-compatible with other Spartan-II FPGAs in the 208-pin PQFP package-including XC2S100, XC2S200, and XC2S300 variants-sharing identical power, ground, clock, configuration, and I/O pin locations. This allows scalable logic density upgrades without PCB redesign for the XC2S150-6PQ208C footprint.
