Product details
Overview
XC2S30-6VQG100C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-II family FPGA with 30,000 system gates, 1728 logic cells, 112 I/O pins, and 576 Kbits of block RAM. It features configurable logic blocks, distributed RAM, and DLL-based clock management for embedded control and interface bridging in industrial PLCs.
For engineers reviewing the XC2S30-6VQG100C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O count, DLL support, gate density, and VQ100 package compatibility with legacy PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The XC2S30-6VQG100C implements a fine-grained architecture with four-input LUTs and flip-flops per CLB, supporting synchronous design with up to 128 MHz system clocking via its Digital Delay Lock Loop. It supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan testing and in-system configuration through SelectMAP or serial PROM interfaces.
Configuration is performed via external PROM or master serial mode using a dedicated CCLK pin; the device lacks on-chip flash and requires external nonvolatile storage. I/O banks are independently voltage-rated for 3.3V or 2.5V operation with programmable slew rate and drive strength per pin group.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the XC2S30-6VQG100C?
The XC2S30-6VQG100C supports a maximum system clock frequency of 128 MHz when using its internal Digital Delay Lock Loop for clock deskewing and stabilization. This value reflects worst-case timing across process, voltage, and temperature corners as verified in Xilinx's Spartan-II data sheet DS001. The actual achievable frequency depends on design placement and routing, but the DLL ensures consistent phase alignment across the device.
Does the XC2S30-6VQG100C include on-chip nonvolatile configuration memory?
No, the XC2S30-6VQG100C does not contain on-chip flash or EEPROM. It requires external configuration memory such as a serial PROM or parallel NOR flash. Configuration occurs at power-up via master serial, slave serial, or SelectMAP modes, with the PROGRAM_B pin initiating reconfiguration. This architecture allows field updates but adds a discrete component to the BOM.
What I/O standards are supported by the XC2S30-6VQG100C?
The XC2S30-6VQG100C supports LVTTL, LVCMOS, PCI, and SSTL-2 I/O standards across its 112 user I/O pins. Each I/O bank can be independently powered at 3.3V or 2.5V, and drive strength (2 mA to 24 mA) and slew rate (slow/fast) are programmable per pin group. These settings are configured in the bitstream during synthesis and implementation.
Is the XC2S30-6VQG100C pin-compatible with other Spartan-II devices in VQ100 packaging?
Yes, the XC2S30-6VQG100C shares identical pinout and package dimensions with other Spartan-II VQ100 variants including XC2S15, XC2S30, XC2S50, and XC2S100 in the same speed grade (-6). This allows direct substitution within the same density tier without PCB modification, provided configuration memory and timing constraints remain compatible.
What configuration modes does the XC2S30-6VQG100C support?
The XC2S30-6VQG100C supports multiple configuration modes: Master Serial (using internal oscillator and CCLK output), Slave Serial, Slave Parallel (SelectMAP), and JTAG boundary-scan. Mode selection is controlled by mode pins (M0–M2) at power-up. JTAG is used for debugging and in-system programming, while Master Serial is most common for production deployment with external PROM.
