Product details
Overview
XC3S700AN-4FG484C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-3AN FPGA with 700,000 system gates, 17,280 logic cells, and integrated flash memory for single-chip configuration. It features 376 user I/Os, operates at -4 speed grade (1.11 ns CLB delay), and supports 3.3V/2.5V/1.2V I/O standards. It is used in industrial control logic and reconfigurable embedded interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the XC3S700AN-4FG484C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include integrated flash retention (20 years), I/O voltage flexibility, deterministic startup timing, and JTAG boundary-scan compliance for production testability.
Technical Context
The XC3S700AN-4FG484C implements a fully SRAM-based logic fabric with embedded block RAM (1,843 kbits), digital clock managers (DCMs), and SelectIO™ technology supporting LVCMOS, LVTTL, PCI, and SSTL standards. Its on-chip flash eliminates external configuration PROMs and enables instant-on operation.
It uses a 484-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package with 376 user-configurable I/O pins distributed across 16 banks. Configuration occurs via Master Serial, Slave Serial, or JTAG modes, with full IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support.

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by XC3S700AN-4FG484C?
XC3S700AN-4FG484C supports Master Serial, Slave Serial, and JTAG configuration modes. Its integrated flash enables Master Serial mode with automatic power-on loading, eliminating external PROM. JTAG is used for programming, debugging, and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan testing. The XC3S700AN-4FG484C does not require external configuration devices for basic operation.
Does XC3S700AN-4FG484C support 5V-tolerant I/Os?
No, XC3S700AN-4FG484C does not support 5V-tolerant I/Os. Its I/O banks operate at 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, or 1.2V signaling levels. Direct connection to 5V logic requires level-shifting circuitry. This limitation is specified in the XC3S700AN-4FG484C datasheet Table 12 and applies across all I/O standards supported by the device.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for XC3S700AN-4FG484C?
The maximum operating junction temperature for XC3S700AN-4FG484C is 85°C, as defined in the commercial temperature grade ('C' suffix). This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design, including adequate copper pour and airflow. Exceeding 85°C may cause timing violations or configuration loss. The XC3S700AN-4FG484C datasheet specifies derating curves starting at 70°C ambient for sustained operation.
How many Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) does XC3S700AN-4FG484C include?
XC3S700AN-4FG484C includes four Digital Clock Managers (DCMs). Each DCM provides clock doubling, halving, phase shifting, duty cycle correction, and jitter reduction. These are essential for generating multiple synchronized clocks in systems such as video timing controllers or communication interfaces. The XC3S700AN-4FG484C documentation confirms this count in the "Clock Resources" section of the device specification.
Is XC3S700AN-4FG484C RoHS compliant?
Yes, XC3S700AN-4FG484C is RoHS compliant and lead-free, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS-066 standards. The 'N' in the part number denotes lead-free packaging. This compliance is verified in AMD's official product change notices and applies to all units shipped after the transition date. The XC3S700AN-4FG484C packaging uses matte tin finish on solder balls.
