XC3S250E-5PQG208C

The XC3S250E-5PQG208C is a commercial-grade Spartan®-3E field programmable gate array from AMD. It provides a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory, and I/O density in a 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package.

Designed for applications that require configurable logic and on-chip memory within a compact footprint, this FPGA offers 5,508 logic elements, approximately 0.22 Mbits of embedded memory, and 158 user I/O pins, with a 1.14 V to 1.26 V supply range and a 0 °C to 85 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 5,508 logic elements and 250,000 gates provide programmable resources for combinational and sequential logic designs.
• Configurable Logic Blocks — 612 logic blocks suitable for partitioning designs across multiple functional regions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.22 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, small data stores, and state machines without external memory.
• I/O Density — 158 user I/O pins for interfacing with peripherals, buses, and external devices.
• Power — Core voltage supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V to match system power rails and design requirements.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount 208-BFQFP (supplier package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) for compact board layouts.
• Operating Conditions — Commercial temperature grade with an operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant, supporting lead-free assembly and regulatory requirements.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 5,508 logic elements paired with approximately 0.22 Mbits of embedded RAM lets you implement moderate-complexity functions without external memory.
• High I/O Count: 158 I/O pins enable direct interfacing to multiple peripherals and parallel buses, reducing the need for external IO expanders.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 208-BFQFP packaging supports space-constrained PCB designs while maintaining accessible pinout density.
• Clear Power Envelope: Defined core supply range (1.14 V–1.26 V) simplifies power-supply selection and system integration.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation for standard commercial applications and environments.
• Regulatory Readiness: RoHS compliance facilitates lead-free manufacturing and downstream regulatory alignment.
