Overview
XC3S400AN-5FGG400C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-3AN FPGA with 400,000 system gates, 216 I/O pins, and integrated flash memory for single-chip configuration. It operates at 500 MHz maximum I/O speed and supports LVCMOS25/LVCMOS33 signaling, used in industrial control logic and reconfigurable embedded interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the XC3S400AN-5FGG400C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include embedded flash capacity, I/O voltage flexibility, configuration security, and thermal performance in fanless enclosures.
Technical Context
The XC3S400AN-5FGG400C integrates 1728 configurable logic blocks (CLBs), 24 multipliers (18×18), and 576 Kbits of block RAM. Its on-chip flash enables instant-on operation without external PROM and supports AES-128 bitstream encryption.
It uses a 5 ns input setup time and 5 ns output hold time at 3.3 V, with guaranteed operation from 0°C to 85°C ambient. The device implements JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) and supports In-System Programming (ISP) via JTAG or SelectMAP interface.

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC3S400AN-5FGG400C?
The XC3S400AN-5FGG400C supports master serial, slave serial, JTAG, and SelectMAP configuration modes. Its integrated 4 Mbit flash enables master serial mode as default, allowing autonomous power-up initialization without external PROM. JTAG is used for programming and debugging, while SelectMAP supports high-speed parallel configuration during system-level updates. All methods retain AES-128 encrypted bitstream protection.
Does XC3S400AN-5FGG400C require external configuration memory?
No, XC3S400AN-5FGG400C does not require external configuration memory due to its on-chip 4 Mbit flash. This flash stores the configuration bitstream and enables instant-on functionality-power application results in automatic loading and verification within 100 ms. External PROM is optional only for field update redundancy or multi-image storage.
What I/O standards are supported by XC3S400AN-5FGG400C?
XC3S400AN-5FGG400C supports LVCMOS12, LVCMOS15, LVCMOS18, LVCMOS25, LVCMOS33, LVTTL, PCI, and SSTL2_I across its 216 user I/O pins. Each I/O bank is independently configurable for voltage (1.2 V–3.3 V), drive strength, and slew rate. This enables direct interfacing with mixed-voltage peripherals without external level shifters.
Is XC3S400AN-5FGG400C compatible with Xilinx ISE Design Suite?
Yes, XC3S400AN-5FGG400C is fully supported by Xilinx ISE 14.7, the final official toolchain for Spartan-3 devices. Synthesis, place-and-route, bitstream generation, and programming utilities are validated for this part. AMD does not provide Vivado support for Spartan-3AN; migration to newer families requires redesign.
What is the thermal performance rating of XC3S400AN-5FGG400C?
XC3S400AN-5FGG400C is rated for 0°C to +85°C ambient operation (commercial grade). Its 400-pin FBGA package has a θJA of 25.6°C/W under JEDEC JESD51-2 conditions. Thermal design should assume 1.2 W typical dynamic power consumption at 50% toggle rate; derating applies above 70°C ambient in sealed enclosures without forced airflow.
