Product details
Overview
XC2S15-6TQG144C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-II family FPGA with 15,000 system gates, 176 logic cells, 16 I/O banks, and 144-pin TQFP packaging. It operates at 6 ns input/output delay and supports 3.3 V I/O with 2.5 V core voltage, commonly used in industrial control logic and low-cost communication interface bridging.
For engineers reviewing the XC2S15-6TQG144C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O count, gate density, timing grade (-6), TQFP thermal profile, and JTAG configuration support.
Technical Context
The XC2S15-6TQG144C implements configurable logic blocks (CLBs) with four-input LUTs and flip-flops, distributed RAM up to 128 bits per CLB, and dedicated carry logic for arithmetic functions. It supports SelectIO standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, and PCI-compliant signaling.
Configuration is performed via JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) or serial PROM, with internal startup sequence controlling INIT_B, PROGRAM_B, and DONE signals. The -6 speed grade guarantees 6 ns I/O-to-OFFSET and 10 ns clock-to-output delays under specified conditions.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the core voltage requirement for XC2S15-6TQG144C?
The XC2S15-6TQG144C requires a regulated 2.5 V ± 0.1 V core supply (VCCINT). This voltage must be decoupled with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitance per power pin pair. Using 3.3 V or 1.8 V for VCCINT will damage the XC2S15-6TQG144C and prevent configuration.
Does XC2S15-6TQG144C support in-system programming?
Yes, XC2S15-6TQG144C supports in-system programming via its IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG port. Configuration bitstreams can be loaded directly through TDI/TDO without removing XC2S15-6TQG144C from the board, enabling field updates and manufacturing test.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for XC2S15-6TQG144C?
The XC2S15-6TQG144C is rated for commercial temperature range: 0 °C to +70 °C ambient. It is not qualified for extended or industrial temperature grades; operation outside this range may cause configuration loss or timing violations in XC2S15-6TQG144C functionality.
Can XC2S15-6TQG144C interface directly with 5 V TTL devices?
No, XC2S15-6TQG144C I/O banks are not 5 V tolerant. Its LVTTL-compatible I/O supports only 3.3 V signaling. Direct connection to 5 V TTL outputs risks damaging XC2S15-6TQG144C I/O pins unless level-shifting circuitry is used.
How many configuration modes does XC2S15-6TQG144C support?
XC2S15-6TQG144C supports three primary configuration modes: Master Serial (via PROM), Slave Serial (host-controlled), and JTAG. All modes use the same pin set (DIN, PROG_B, INIT_B, DONE) but differ in control signal sequencing and source of configuration data.
