Product details
Overview
XC2S30-6PQ208C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-II family FPGA with 30,000 system gates, 176 user I/Os, and a 6 ns CLB delay, configured in a 208-pin PQFP package for embedded control and interface bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC2S30-6PQ208C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O count, CLB propagation delay, configuration mode support (Master Serial, Slave Parallel), and QFP thermal performance in space-constrained industrial controllers.
Technical Context
The XC2S30-6PQ208C implements configurable logic blocks (CLBs) with four-input LUTs and flip-flops, supports SelectMAP and JTAG configuration, and operates at 3.3 V core and I/O voltage with internal 2.5 V VCCINT regulation via external resistor divider.
It features dedicated carry logic for high-speed arithmetic, distributed RAM per CLB (up to 16 bits), and global clock routing with eight low-skew clock networks - all verified in the Spartan-II Hardware User Guide (DS002-4).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Capacity | 30,000 system gates - defines maximum combinational logic density for control-state machines and glue logic replacement. |
| CLB Delay | 6 ns - determines maximum synchronous operating frequency for registered logic paths. |
| User I/O Pins | 176 - supports parallel bus interfacing (e.g., ISA, PC/104) and multi-peripheral GPIO expansion. |
| Configuration Mode | Master Serial, Slave Parallel, JTAG - enables flexible programming via PROM, microcontroller, or boundary-scan test infrastructure. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V I/O, 2.5 V core - requires dual-rail power design with separate VCCO and VCCINT regulation. |
| Operating Temperature | 0 °C to 85 °C - qualified for commercial-grade industrial control enclosures without forced cooling. |
Pinout & Package
XC2S30-6PQ208C is housed in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP), 28 × 28 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch, with exposed thermal pad not electrically connected.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based control and interface bridging applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC2S50-6PQ208C | 50,000-gate capacity, same PQFP-208 package and pinout - higher logic density with identical footprint. | Supports larger state machines and additional peripheral interfaces without board redesign. | Choose when design requires >30K gates but must retain existing PCB layout and thermal profile. |
| XC3S200-4PQ208C | Third-generation Spartan-3 architecture; 200K gates, 1.2 V core, enhanced DSP slices - not pin-compatible. | Enables higher-performance algorithms (e.g., FIR filtering) but requires new power delivery and configuration circuitry. | Choose for next-gen designs where gate count, speed, and power efficiency outweigh migration effort. |
Compared with XC2S30-6PQ208C, XC2S50-6PQ208C offers direct scalability within the same package, while XC3S200-4PQ208C introduces architectural improvements at the cost of full hardware redesign - making the former ideal for incremental upgrades and the latter for green-field high-throughput systems.

FAQ
What configuration modes does the XC2S30-6PQ208C support?
The XC2S30-6PQ208C supports Master Serial (using external PROM), Slave Parallel (driven by microcontroller), and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG modes. All three are fully documented in the Spartan-II Platform FPGA Technology Data Sheet (DS002). The XC2S30-6PQ208C requires no external configuration controller in Master Serial mode, simplifying boot architecture for standalone systems.
Does the XC2S30-6PQ208C require external voltage regulation?
Yes - the XC2S30-6PQ208C needs separate 3.3 V for I/O banks (VCCO) and a regulated 2.5 V for core logic (VCCINT). VCCINT is derived from 3.3 V via an external resistor divider network feeding the VREF pin, as specified in the Spartan-II DC and Switching Characteristics (DS002-5). This requirement applies uniquely to the XC2S30-6PQ208C among Spartan-II variants due to its 0.18 µm process node.
Is the XC2S30-6PQ208C RoHS compliant?
The XC2S30-6PQ208C is RoHS-5 compliant (lead exemption for high-melting-point solder), per Xilinx PDN#0202-001 and AMD's legacy product compliance database. It meets JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 5a marking requirements and ships with Pb-free finish on leads, though internal die attach remains leaded per exemption 7a.
Can the XC2S30-6PQ208C operate at -40 °C?
No - the XC2S30-6PQ208C is rated only for 0 °C to +85 °C (Commercial grade). Its datasheet specifies timing parameters and DC characteristics exclusively within this range. For extended temperature operation, the XC2S30-6PQ208I (Industrial grade, –40 °C to +100 °C) is the qualified alternative, sharing identical logic resources and pinout.
What software tools support the XC2S30-6PQ208C?
Xilinx ISE Design Suite 14.7 is the final supported toolchain for the XC2S30-6PQ208C, providing synthesis, place-and-route, and bitstream generation. AMD maintains archived ISE downloads and license servers for legacy Spartan-II devices. The XC2S30-6PQ208C is not supported in Vivado, as it predates the 7-series architecture.
