Product details
Overview
XCS40XL-5CS280C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-XL family FPGA with 40,000 system gates, 280-pin CSP BGA package, 5 ns logic delay, and embedded RAM blocks. It serves as a reconfigurable logic fabric for digital control and interface bridging in industrial motion controllers.
For engineers reviewing the XCS40XL-5CS280C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O count, logic cell density, configuration mode support, and temperature grade compliance for embedded control environments.
Technical Context
This FPGA implements SRAM-based configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated carry chains, and up to 128 Kbits of distributed RAM. It supports JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) and master serial configuration via external PROM.
The device operates at 3.3 V core and I/O supply, features programmable slew-rate control per I/O bank, and includes internal pull-up resistors on configuration pins. It is rated for commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based control and interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCS40XL-4CS280C | Slower speed grade (-4 = 6 ns delay); identical gate count, package, and feature set | Suitable where 140 MHz max clock frequency suffices; lower power at same operating conditions | Select when timing margin allows relaxed speed grade to reduce cost and dynamic power |
| XCS40-5PQ208C | Same logic density but PQFP-208 package; no CSP BGA; lacks distributed RAM blocks | Better suited for prototyping or manual assembly; limited on-chip memory reduces FIFO depth capability | Choose for hand-soldered evaluation or legacy footprint compatibility, not for space-constrained production |
Compared with XCS40XL-5CS280C, the -4CS280C offers cost and power savings at reduced speed, while the PQ208 variant trades density and memory for assembly flexibility-neither is pin-compatible, requiring PCB redesign.

FAQ
What configuration modes does the XCS40XL-5CS280C support?
The XCS40XL-5CS280C supports Master Serial configuration using an external serial PROM and JTAG boundary-scan for in-system programming. It does not support slave parallel or microprocessor-initiated configuration modes. The PROGRAM_B pin initiates reconfiguration, and DONE indicates completion. XCS40XL-5CS280C requires external pull-up on DONE and proper PROM addressing for reliable boot.
Is the XCS40XL-5CS280C RoHS compliant?
Yes, the XCS40XL-5CS280C is RoHS compliant and lead-free, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The CSP BGA package uses matte tin finish on solder balls. XCS40XL-5CS280C shipped after 2006 conforms to RoHS-5 (exemption 7a for lead in high-melting-temperature solder not applicable due to Pb-free construction).
What is the maximum operating frequency for logic implemented in the XCS40XL-5CS280C?
The XCS40XL-5CS280C speed grade -5 guarantees a 5 ns CLB propagation delay, supporting system clock frequencies up to 160 MHz in typical designs with balanced routing. Actual achievable frequency depends on logic depth, register placement, and I/O timing constraints. XCS40XL-5CS280C user designs verified in Xilinx Foundation software achieve 140–155 MHz for pipelined arithmetic blocks.
Does the XCS40XL-5CS280C include internal configuration memory?
No, the XCS40XL-5CS280C does not include non-volatile configuration memory. It is an SRAM-based FPGA requiring external configuration storage (e.g., Xilinx XC18V00 series PROM). Configuration is loaded at power-up via Master Serial mode. XCS40XL-5CS280C retains logic state only while powered; bitstream must be reloaded after each reset or power cycle.
Can the XCS40XL-5CS280C operate with mixed I/O voltage standards?
Yes, the XCS40XL-5CS280C supports mixed I/O voltages through six independent VCCO banks (VCCO_0 to VCCO_5), each configurable for 3.3 V operation. While it does not support 2.5 V or 1.8 V I/O standards natively, level-shifting buffers may be used externally. XCS40XL-5CS280C I/Os are LVTTL and LVCMOS compatible at 3.3 V.
