Product details
Overview
XC3S400AN-4FG400I from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-3AN FPGA with 400,000 system gates, 241 I/O pins, and integrated flash memory for single-chip configuration. It operates at -4 speed grade (tPD = 4.5 ns), uses 1.2 V core voltage, and supports 3.3 V/2.5 V/1.8 V I/O standards. It is used in industrial control logic and reconfigurable embedded interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the XC3S400AN-4FG400I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include integrated flash capacity, I/O voltage flexibility, speed-grade timing closure, and single-chip boot capability without external PROM.
Technical Context
The XC3S400AN-4FG400I integrates 232 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), 1728 Kbits of block RAM, and 24 dedicated multipliers. Its on-chip flash stores configuration bitstream and enables instant-on operation after power-up.
It supports JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1), SelectMAP, and serial mode configuration. The device implements Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) for clock synthesis, phase shifting, and duty-cycle correction across up to four independent clock domains.

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC3S400AN-4FG400I?
XC3S400AN-4FG400I supports three configuration modes: Master Serial (using external PROM), Slave Serial (host-controlled), and SelectMAP (parallel interface). Its integrated flash enables Master Serial mode without external memory, delivering single-chip boot capability. JTAG is used for programming and debugging. The XC3S400AN-4FG400I does not require external configuration devices unless custom update workflows are implemented.
Does XC3S400AN-4FG400I require external configuration memory?
No, XC3S400AN-4FG400I contains 4 Mbits of on-chip flash memory sufficient to store the full configuration bitstream. This allows autonomous, instant-on startup without external PROM or microcontroller intervention. External memory is optional only for field updates or dual-image redundancy schemes. The XC3S400AN-4FG400I's flash is reprogrammable over JTAG or SelectMAP.
What I/O standards are supported by XC3S400AN-4FG400I?
XC3S400AN-4FG400I supports LVCMOS, LVTTL, PCI, and SSTL18 I/O standards across its 12 configurable I/O banks. Each bank accepts independent VCCO voltages of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V, enabling direct interfacing with mixed-voltage peripherals. The XC3S400AN-4FG400I does not support differential standards like LVDS or RSDS natively without external termination.
How many Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) does XC3S400AN-4FG400I include?
XC3S400AN-4FG400I includes four Digital Clock Managers (DCMs). Each DCM provides clock doubling, frequency synthesis, phase shifting (±180° in 1/256 steps), and duty-cycle correction. These are used to generate and stabilize internal clocks for timing-critical logic, ADC sampling, or high-speed I/O interfaces. The XC3S400AN-4FG400I's DCMs operate independently and do not share resources.
Is XC3S400AN-4FG400I RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, XC3S400AN-4FG400I is RoHS-compliant and manufactured with lead-free packaging. The FG400 package uses matte tin finish on solder balls and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) requirements. The XC3S400AN-4FG400I is qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and supports reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
