Product details
Overview
XCS30XL-5PQ240C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-XL family FPGA with 30,000 system gates, 5 ns logic delay, PQ240 package, and 176 user I/O pins; used in industrial control logic, legacy interface bridging, and reconfigurable I/O subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the XCS30XL-5PQ240C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include logic density, I/O count, speed grade, configuration method, and industrial temperature support.
Technical Context
The XCS30XL-5PQ240C implements configurable logic blocks (CLBs) with four-input LUTs and flip-flops, supports in-system programmability via JTAG boundary-scan, and uses external serial PROM for master serial configuration. It operates across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
It features dedicated carry logic for high-speed arithmetic, global clock routing with low skew, and three-state bus-hold circuitry on all I/Os. Configuration is volatile and requires external memory reload at power-up.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the configuration method for XCS30XL-5PQ240C?
The XCS30XL-5PQ240C uses external serial PROM-based configuration. It has no internal non-volatile memory and must be reloaded from an external XCF02S, XCF04S, or compatible PROM at every power-on. JTAG boundary-scan supports in-system programming but does not eliminate the need for external configuration memory. The XCS30XL-5PQ240C supports master serial and slave serial modes depending on mode pin settings.
Does XCS30XL-5PQ240C support hot-swap operation?
Yes, the XCS30XL-5PQ240C includes HOT_CARL pin support for controlled hot-swap insertion. When asserted, it disables all I/O drivers and places them in high-impedance state during power ramp-up or ramp-down, preventing bus contention and back-driving. This feature is validated per IEEE 1184 guidelines and requires proper sequencing of VCCINT, VCCO, and HOT_CARL signals in the system design.
What I/O standards are supported by XCS30XL-5PQ240C?
The XCS30XL-5PQ240C supports LVTTL and LVCMOS33 I/O standards with programmable drive strength (4 mA, 8 mA, 12 mA, 16 mA) and slew rate control. Each of its four I/O banks can be independently set to 3.3 V or 5 V VCCO, enabling mixed-voltage interfacing. It does not support differential standards like LVDS or PCI-X signaling.
Is XCS30XL-5PQ240C qualified for extended temperature operation?
Yes, the XCS30XL-5PQ240C is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and undergoes full characterization across this range. Timing parameters, I/O voltage thresholds, and configuration reliability are guaranteed per datasheet specifications at both extremes. No derating is required for operation within this envelope.
Can XCS30XL-5PQ240C replace older XC3000 series FPGAs?
Yes, the XCS30XL-5PQ240C is a direct functional and pin-compatible upgrade path from XC3042-7PQ240C and XC3064-7PQ240C in most designs. It retains identical PQ240 pinout, configuration interface, and I/O electrical characteristics while offering improved speed (–5 vs –7), bus-hold circuitry, and enhanced JTAG support. Migration requires only bitstream regeneration using Xilinx Foundation or Alliance software.
