Product details
Overview
XC2S150-6PQG208C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-II family FPGA with 150,000 system gates, 176 configurable logic blocks (CLBs), 160 I/O pins, and a 6 ns maximum input-to-output delay. It implements synchronous digital logic in embedded control, industrial interface, and communication protocol bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC2S150-6PQG208C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O count, CLB density, speed grade (-6), and PQG208 package compatibility with legacy PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The XC2S150-6PQG208C uses SRAM-based configuration memory and supports in-system programming via JTAG or serial PROM. Its architecture includes distributed RAM, shift registers, and dedicated carry logic for arithmetic functions.
It operates at 3.3 V core and I/O voltage, supports LVCMOS/LVTTL I/O standards, and features four global clock buffers with low-skew distribution across the device fabric.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based logic implementation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC2S150-5PQ208C | Slower -5 speed grade (7.5 ns max delay); identical logic resources and package | Suitable for lower-frequency control loops where timing margin is relaxed | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for maximum clock frequency |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for XC2S150-6PQG208C?
The XC2S150-6PQG208C is rated for commercial temperature operation (0 °C to +70 °C). This range applies to the PQG208 package variant and is verified per Xilinx DS001 specification. Thermal derating is not required within this ambient range, and the device meets timing specifications without forced cooling. The XC2S150-6PQG208C does not support extended or industrial temperature grades.
Does XC2S150-6PQG208C support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, XC2S150-6PQG208C fully supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan via dedicated TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins. This enables in-circuit programming, verification, and fault isolation during manufacturing and field service. The XC2S150-6PQG208C implements mandatory JTAG instructions including SAMPLE/PRELOAD, EXTEST, and IDCODE.
What configuration methods are supported by XC2S150-6PQG208C?
The XC2S150-6PQG208C supports three primary configuration modes: JTAG (IEEE 1149.1), master serial (via on-board PROM), and slave parallel (synchronized to external controller). Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pins at power-up. The XC2S150-6PQG208C does not support slave serial or microprocessor configuration modes.
Is XC2S150-6PQG208C pin-compatible with other Spartan-II devices in PQG208 package?
XC2S150-6PQG208C shares the same PQG208 footprint and pinout with other Spartan-II FPGAs in the same package, including XC2S100 and XC2S200 variants. Power and ground pin assignments, global clock inputs, and JTAG signals are identical. However, I/O bank voltage assignments and unused pin states may differ based on device-specific configuration.
What is the maximum supported I/O standard for XC2S150-6PQG208C?
The XC2S150-6PQG208C supports LVCMOS and LVTTL I/O standards at 3.3 V, with programmable drive strength (2 mA, 4 mA, 8 mA, 12 mA, 16 mA, 24 mA) and slew rate control. It does not support 2.5 V, 1.8 V, or differential standards such as LVDS or RSDS. All I/O banks require VCCO = 3.3 V, matching the device's core voltage requirement.
