Product details
Overview
XCS30XL-5PQ208C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-XL family FPGA with 30,000 system gates, 5 ns CLB propagation delay, and 176 user I/Os in a 208-pin PQFP package; used in industrial control logic, legacy interface bridging, and low-power reconfigurable datapath acceleration.
For engineers reviewing the XCS30XL-5PQ208C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include CLB delay, I/O count, configuration mode support, and QFP thermal performance under sustained logic utilization.
Technical Context
The XCS30XL-5PQ208C implements configurable logic blocks (CLBs) with four-input LUTs and flip-flops, supports both master serial and boundary-scan configuration modes, and features dedicated carry logic for arithmetic functions. It operates at 3.3 V core supply with 5 V-tolerant I/Os.
Configuration is performed via external PROM or JTAG interface; no internal configuration memory is present. The device lacks embedded block RAM or DSP slices, relying on distributed RAM resources within CLBs for small data storage.

FAQ
What is the configuration method supported by the XCS30XL-5PQ208C?
The XCS30XL-5PQ208C supports master serial configuration using an external PROM and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan for programming and testing. It does not include internal configuration memory and requires external initialization circuitry to load bitstream at power-up.
Does the XCS30XL-5PQ208C support 5 V logic interfaces?
Yes, the XCS30XL-5PQ208C features 5 V-tolerant I/Os while operating from a 3.3 V core supply. This allows direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL and CMOS devices without external level shifters, simplifying interface design in mixed-voltage systems.
What is the maximum operating frequency achievable with the XCS30XL-5PQ208C?
The XCS30XL-5PQ208C has a 5 ns CLB propagation delay, enabling reliable register-to-register paths at up to 140 MHz in typical conditions. Actual system frequency depends on logic depth, routing congestion, and I/O timing constraints-not a fixed clock limit.
Is the XCS30XL-5PQ208C pin-compatible with other Spartan-XL devices?
The XCS30XL-5PQ208C shares the same PQFP-208 package and pinout with XCS30-5PQ208C and XCS40XL-5PQ208C. However, configuration bitstreams are not interchangeable due to architectural differences in CLB structure and feature enablement.
What thermal considerations apply to the XCS30XL-5PQ208C in continuous operation?
The XCS30XL-5PQ208C has a maximum junction temperature of 100°C and typical static power dissipation of 28 mA at 3.3 V. In continuous operation, airflow or copper pour under the PQFP body is recommended to maintain junction temperature below rating under full logic utilization.
