Product details
Overview
XC6SLX150-3FGG484I from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-6 FPGA featuring 147,443 logic cells, 18-bit x 36Kb block RAM, and 341 user I/Os in a 484-pin Fine-Pitch BGA package. It operates at -3 speed grade (1.2V core, industrial temperature range -40°C to +100°C) and targets high-reliability embedded control and interface bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O count, block RAM depth, speed grade timing closure, and industrial-grade thermal performance.
Technical Context
The XC6SLX150-3FGG484I implements a configurable logic fabric with six-input LUTs, dedicated DSP48A1 slices (18×25 multiplier + accumulator), and integrated clock management using DCM and PLL blocks. It supports SelectIO standards including LVCMOS, LVDS, and SSTL up to 1.0 Gbps per differential pair.
Configuration is performed via Master SPI or JTAG, with support for dual-boot from two external flash devices. The device includes internal configuration monitoring and CRC error detection for bitstream integrity verification during power-up and runtime.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I?
The XC6SLX150-3FGG484I is rated for a maximum system clock frequency of 667 MHz in its fastest internal paths under industrial temperature conditions. This is guaranteed by the -3 speed grade, which defines worst-case timing parameters for setup/hold and propagation delays across the full -40°C to +100°C range. Actual achievable frequency depends on design placement, routing, and resource utilization.
Does the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I fully supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan testing via dedicated TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins. It also enables in-system programming and debug access to internal configuration registers. This capability is integral to production test flows and field diagnostics for systems using the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I.
Can the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I configure from SPI flash memory?
Yes, the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I supports Master SPI configuration mode using standard quad-SPI or single-SPI flash devices. Configuration is initiated automatically on power-up when M0–M2 pins are set appropriately. The XC6SLX150-3FGG484I reads the bitstream directly from flash without external controller intervention.
What is the purpose of the INIT_B pin on the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I?
The INIT_B pin on the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I is an open-drain status indicator that goes low during configuration initialization and remains low until the bitstream is fully loaded and verified. It returns high upon successful completion or asserts low again if CRC error is detected. This signal is used for system-level readiness monitoring and fault detection in designs using the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I.
Is the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I is manufactured as a lead-free, RoHS-compliant device. Its FGG484 package uses matte tin finish on solder balls and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) requirements. Full compliance documentation is available in AMD's official product change notices for the XC6SLX150-3FGG484I.
