XC3S1000-4FT256C

The XC3S1000-4FT256C is a Spartan®-3 field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from AMD, offered in a compact 256-LBGA package. It provides a balance of programmable logic capacity, embedded memory, and I/O count for commercial embedded designs that require reconfigurable hardware integration.

Key attributes include 17,280 logic elements, approximately 0.44 Mbits of on-chip RAM, 173 user I/Os, and a single-supply operating voltage range—features that support a wide range of general-purpose programmable logic applications within commercial temperature limits.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  17,280 logic elements provide the programmable logic resources for implementing custom digital functions and control logic.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.44 Mbits of on-chip RAM (442,368 total RAM bits) for data buffering, FIFOs, and local storage.
• I/O Resources  173 available I/O pins to interface with external devices, peripherals, and system buses.
• Gate Count  Rated at 1,000,000 gates to indicate overall fabric scale for design partitioning.
• Power Supply  Operates from a supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V to match platform power rails.
• Package & Mounting  256-LBGA package (supplier device package: 256-FTBGA, 17×17) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB layouts.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for standard commercial environments.
• RoHS Compliance  Device is RoHS compliant.

Unique Advantages

• High programmable density: 17,280 logic elements and 1,000,000 gates provide substantial capacity for mid-range FPGA designs without overspecing.
