Product details
Overview
XC3S200-5VQG100C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-3 FPGA with 200,000 system gates, 4,320 logic cells, 173 I/O pins, and configured in a 100-pin VQFP package with 3.3V I/O and 1.2V core voltage. It targets cost-sensitive embedded control and interface bridging applications requiring reconfigurable logic.
For engineers reviewing the XC3S200-5VQG100C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include logic density, I/O count, VQFP packaging compatibility, configuration mode support (Master Serial, Slave Parallel), and JTAG boundary-scan capability.
Technical Context
The XC3S200-5VQG100C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), distributed RAM, block RAM (176 Kbits), and dedicated multipliers. It supports SelectIO standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, PCI, and SSTL-2.
Configuration is performed via external PROM, JTAG, or microprocessor interface; internal startup sequence includes CCLK generation, mode pin sampling, and bitstream CRC verification. The device operates at -40°C to +85°C and meets industrial temperature grade requirements.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for XC3S200-5VQG100C?
The XC3S200-5VQG100C is rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per Xilinx DS099 specification and applies to all VQFP-packaged Spartan-3 devices with 'C' speed grade. Thermal derating is not required within this ambient envelope when mounted on standard FR-4 PCBs with adequate copper pour.
Does XC3S200-5VQG100C support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, XC3S200-5VQG100C fully supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan via dedicated TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins. The device implements mandatory instruction register, bypass, and sample/preload capabilities, enabling board-level interconnect testing and in-system programming without requiring external configuration PROM.
What configuration modes are supported by XC3S200-5VQG100C?
XC3S200-5VQG100C supports Master Serial (via external PROM), Slave Parallel (host CPU-driven), and JTAG modes. Configuration begins after PROGRAM_B deassertion and completes when DONE pin goes high. Startup time is typically 100 ms with default settings and depends on bitstream size and clock source stability.
Can XC3S200-5VQG100C operate with 2.5V I/O voltage?
No, XC3S200-5VQG100C I/O banks are specified only for 3.3V operation (LVTTL/LVCMOS33). Its VCCO pins do not support 2.5V; attempting 2.5V I/O may cause unreliable signaling or damage. For mixed-voltage systems, use separate I/O banks powered at 3.3V or select a newer Spartan-6 device with wider I/O voltage range.
Is XC3S200-5VQG100C still in active production?
XC3S200-5VQG100C is no longer in active production by AMD/Xilinx but remains available through authorized distributors and Aetrix Electronics' extended lifecycle program. Obsolescence status is tracked under PCN #XIL-2021-012; last-time-buy windows and cross-reference paths to Spartan-6 or Artix-7 alternatives are managed per customer BOM requirements.
