XC2S100E-6FT256C

The XC2S100E-6FT256C is a Spartan®-IIE Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 256-LBGA package designed for cost-sensitive, reprogrammable digital logic applications. Built on the Spartan-IIE family architecture, it offers a compact, surface-mount FPGA option with 2700 logic elements, 182 I/O pins, and on-chip memory for mid-density designs.

Its architecture supports common system and interface tasks while providing in-system reprogrammability and family-level features such as block RAM and dedicated clock DLLs for timing control.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  2700 logic elements (equivalent cells) and approximately 100,000 system gates for mid-density integration of digital functions.
• Embedded Memory  40,960 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.04 Mbits) to support buffering, FIFOs, and small embedded data structures.
• I/O Resources  182 user I/O pins suitable for a wide range of parallel and serial interfaces; package supports a broad set of interface requirements.
• Clock and Timing  Spartan-IIE family architecture includes dedicated Delay-Locked Loop (DLL) resources for advanced clock control and predictable timing behavior.
• Package and Mounting  256-LBGA (supplier package: 256-FTBGA, 17×17) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board layouts.
• Power and Operating Range  Core voltage supply range 1.71 V to 1.89 V and commercial operating temperature 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards and Compliance  RoHS compliant for lead-free manufacturing and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• ASIC Replacement and Prototyping  Use the FPGA for cost-effective alternatives to mask-programmed ASICs and for rapid design iterations with in-system reprogrammability.
• Embedded Control and Glue Logic  Implement glue logic, protocol translation, and control finite-state machines using the device's logic elements and on-chip RAM.
• Interface Bridging  Leverage 182 I/O pins to connect multiple peripherals, sensors, or memory interfaces in mid-density system designs.
• Timing-Critical Designs  Use on-chip DLLs and predictable routing characteristics for designs that require controlled clocking and timing consistency.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated mid-density FPGA: Combines 2700 logic elements, 40,960 bits of embedded memory, and 182 I/Os to reduce external component count and simplify board design.
• Compact BGA footprint: 256-LBGA surface-mount package enables high-density PCB layouts while maintaining robust I/O availability.
• Flexible clocking: Built-in DLL resources provide phase shift, multiply/divide, and low-skew clock distribution options to simplify timing architectures.
• Commercial operating range: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for standard commercial electronics applications.
• RoHS compliant: Supports lead-free manufacturing and meets environmental regulatory requirements.
• Predictable performance from Spartan-IIE architecture: Family-level features such as dedicated carry logic and block RAM support common arithmetic and buffering needs.
