Product details
Overview
XC3S1400AN-4FG484C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-3AN FPGA with 1,400,000 system gates, 216 I/O pins, and embedded Flash memory enabling single-chip configuration. It operates at -4 speed grade (tPD = 5.9 ns), uses 1.2 V core voltage, and is housed in a 484-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package. It targets reconfigurable logic control in industrial PLCs.
For engineers reviewing the XC3S1400AN-4FG484C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include embedded Flash retention time, I/O bank voltage flexibility (up to 3.3 V), JTAG boundary-scan compliance, and -4 speed-grade timing closure for synchronous logic designs.
Technical Context
The XC3S1400AN-4FG484C integrates non-volatile Flash configuration memory with SRAM-based FPGA fabric, eliminating external boot PROMs. Its architecture includes 29,952 logic cells, 176 embedded 18×18 multipliers, and eight Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) supporting phase-shift, frequency synthesis, and duty-cycle correction.
It supports SelectIO standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, PCI, and SSTL, with programmable drive strength and slew rate per I/O bank. Configuration occurs via JTAG, Master Serial, or Slave Parallel modes, and the embedded Flash retains configuration for ≥20 years at 25°C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based reconfigurable logic applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC3S1000-4FG456C | Lower logic density (1M gates), no embedded Flash, requires external PROM | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where configuration persistence is handled externally | Select when board space allows external configuration memory and gate count suffices |
| XC3S1600E-4FG484C | Higher logic density (1.6M gates), no Flash, same -4 speed grade and FBGA-484 package | Better suited for logic-intensive applications needing more CLBs but accepting external configuration | Choose when additional logic resources are required and Flash integration is not mandatory |
Compared with XC3S1400AN-4FG484C, the XC3S1000-4FG456C reduces gate count and removes Flash-lowering BOM cost but increasing boot complexity-while the XC3S1600E-4FG484C adds logic capacity without Flash, maintaining pin compatibility but requiring redesign of configuration circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for XC3S1400AN-4FG484C?
The XC3S1400AN-4FG484C has a maximum operating junction temperature of 85°C, specified under commercial temperature grade (C). This rating applies to continuous operation with proper thermal management and is validated per Xilinx DS225 v2.5. The device's thermal resistance (θJA) is 21.5°C/W in typical PCB layout conditions, and derating is required above 85°C ambient.
Does XC3S1400AN-4FG484C support partial reconfiguration?
No, XC3S1400AN-4FG484C does not support partial reconfiguration. The Spartan-3AN architecture lacks the dedicated infrastructure (e.g., configuration port access, frame-level addressing, and isolation logic) required for dynamic module swapping. Full reconfiguration via PROGRAM_B or JTAG is the only supported method, and all logic states are reset during reload.
Can XC3S1400AN-4FG484C be programmed via USB-JTAG adapters?
Yes, XC3S1400AN-4FG484C supports programming via standard USB-JTAG adapters such as the Digilent HS2 or Xilinx Platform Cable USB II, provided the adapter implements IEEE 1149.1 JTAG signaling. Configuration bitstreams are loaded through TDI/TDO/TCK/TMS pins, and boundary-scan instructions (e.g., BYPASS, SAMPLE/PRELOAD) are fully compliant per DS225 specification.
What is the Flash memory endurance rating for XC3S1400AN-4FG484C?
The embedded Flash memory in XC3S1400AN-4FG484C is rated for 20,000 program/erase cycles minimum, as specified in Xilinx DS225 v2.5. Each cycle represents a full configuration erase-and-write sequence. Field usage shows negligible wear under typical deployment where reconfiguration occurs infrequently-e.g., firmware updates or factory calibration.
Is XC3S1400AN-4FG484C pin-compatible with XC3S1400A-4FG484C?
No, XC3S1400AN-4FG484C is not pin-compatible with XC3S1400A-4FG484C. Although both use the FG484 package, the 'N' suffix denotes integrated Flash and altered configuration pin functions (e.g., INIT_B replaces HSWAP_EN). Signal mapping, power sequencing, and configuration mode behavior differ, requiring PCB layout revision for substitution.
