AMD XC2S200-6FGG256C

Overview

XC2S200-6FGG256C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-II family FPGA with 200,000 system gates, 1728 logic cells, 112 I/O pins, and a 6 ns CLB delay. It integrates configurable logic blocks, distributed RAM, and global clock networks for digital logic implementation in industrial control and communication interface designs.

For engineers reviewing the XC2S200-6FGG256C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O count, CLB propagation delay, system gate density, internal RAM capacity, and support for LVCMOS/LVTTL signaling standards.

Technical Context

The XC2S200-6FGG256C implements synchronous, register-rich logic using four-input LUTs and flip-flops per CLB. Its architecture supports distributed RAM (16-bit wide × 32 deep per CLB) and shift register functionality without external memory.

It features eight global clock buffers, DLL-based clock deskew, and programmable I/O standards including LVCMOS 3.3 V, LVTTL, and PCI-compliant 3.3 V operation. Configuration is performed via serial PROM or JTAG boundary-scan interface.

FAQ

What is the core supply voltage requirement for XC2S200-6FGG256C?

The XC2S200-6FGG256C requires a 2.5 V ± 5 % core supply (VCCINT) for proper operation of its internal logic and CLBs. Deviation beyond this tolerance may cause timing violations or functional failure. This voltage must be well-regulated and decoupled close to the device's power pins. The XC2S200-6FGG256C does not support 3.3 V core operation.

Does XC2S200-6FGG256C support JTAG programming?

Yes, the XC2S200-6FGG256C fully supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan for in-system programming and debugging. Its TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins enable configuration without external PROMs. The XC2S200-6FGG256C also allows JTAG-based verification of interconnect integrity on assembled PCBs.

What I/O standards are supported by XC2S200-6FGG256C?

The XC2S200-6FGG256C supports LVCMOS 3.3 V, LVTTL, and PCI-compliant 3.3 V I/O standards. Each I/O bank is independently configurable for voltage and drive strength. The XC2S200-6FGG256C does not support 1.8 V or 2.5 V I/O standards on its I/O pins.

How many global clock lines does XC2S200-6FGG256C provide?

The XC2S200-6FGG256C provides eight dedicated global clock buffer resources (GCK0–GCK7), each driving a low-skew clock network across the entire die. These are essential for meeting tight setup/hold timing constraints in synchronous designs. The XC2S200-6FGG256C does not offer additional regional or local clock routing alternatives to these eight global lines.

Is XC2S200-6FGG256C still in active production?

The XC2S200-6FGG256C is no longer in active production by AMD/Xilinx but remains available through authorized distributors and Aetrix Electronics' extended lifecycle program. Aetrix maintains traceable inventory and offers obsolescence mitigation support for the XC2S200-6FGG256C in industrial and legacy systems.
