Product details
Overview
XC3S700AN-4FGG484I 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 484-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) packaging, operates at -4 speed grade, and supports industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C). It is used in embedded control systems requiring non-volatile configuration and rapid power-up.
For engineers reviewing the XC3S700AN-4FGG484I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include integrated flash capacity, I/O count (373 user I/Os), differential signaling support (LVDS, LVPECL), internal oscillator frequency (40 MHz), and compliance with IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the Spartan-3AN family, which integrates configuration flash memory directly into the FPGA die-eliminating external configuration PROMs. It supports dual-mode configuration via JTAG or master serial mode using on-chip oscillator.
The XC3S700AN-4FGG484I implements SelectIO technology with programmable drive strength (2–24 mA), slew rate control, and input termination options. Its logic fabric includes distributed RAM, block RAM (576 Kbits), and DSP slices optimized for arithmetic-intensive tasks in real-time control loops.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA configuration and logic density applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC3S1000-4FGG456C | No integrated flash; requires external configuration PROM; higher logic density (19,664 LCs); commercial temp range only | Suitable where larger logic capacity is needed but configuration persistence is handled externally | Choose when design already includes SPI PROM and requires additional logic resources beyond 700K gates |
| XCS10XL-4TQ144I | Older Spartan-XL architecture; no flash; 10,000 gate capacity; TQFP-144 package; limited I/O (118 pins) | Applicable only for legacy board refreshes with strict footprint constraints and minimal logic requirements | Select only for drop-in replacement in obsolete designs where logic reuse and PCB rework must be avoided |
Compared with XC3S700AN-4FGG484I, the XC3S1000-4FGG456C offers more logic but adds BOM complexity and thermal sensitivity, while the XCS10XL-4TQ144I sacrifices density, I/O count, and flash integration for legacy compatibility-making XC3S700AN-4FGG484I optimal for new industrial designs prioritizing self-contained configuration and thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XC3S700AN-4FGG484I?
The XC3S700AN-4FGG484I is rated at speed grade -4, guaranteeing timing closure for critical paths up to 333 MHz under worst-case industrial conditions. Actual achievable frequency depends on design topology, placement, and routing-but the -4 grade ensures reliable operation at 200+ MHz for typical synchronous logic blocks in the XC3S700AN-4FGG484I.
Does XC3S700AN-4FGG484I require an external configuration device?
No, XC3S700AN-4FGG484I does not require an external configuration device. Its integrated 2 MB flash memory stores the full configuration bitstream, enabling autonomous power-up and eliminating the need for external SPI PROMs or configuration controllers in the XC3S700AN-4FGG484I design.
What I/O standards are supported by XC3S700AN-4FGG484I?
XC3S700AN-4FGG484I supports LVCMOS, LVTTL, PCI, LVDS, RSDS, and differential SSTL through its SelectIO technology. Each I/O bank can be independently configured for voltage levels from 1.2 V to 3.3 V, allowing mixed-voltage interfacing within a single XC3S700AN-4FGG484I device.
Is XC3S700AN-4FGG484I qualified for automotive applications?
XC3S700AN-4FGG484I is specified for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) and widely deployed in automotive body control units. While not AEC-Q100 qualified, its thermal performance and on-chip oscillator make it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems where the XC3S700AN-4FGG484I operates outside the engine compartment.
How many block RAMs does XC3S700AN-4FGG484I contain?
XC3S700AN-4FGG484I contains 24 block RAMs totaling 576 Kbits of embedded memory. Each block is 18 Kbits and supports true dual-port operation, enabling simultaneous read and write access-critical for FIFOs, buffers, and lookup tables in the XC3S700AN-4FGG484I implementation.
