XCS20XL-4PQG208C

The XCS20XL-4PQG208C is a Spartan®-XL Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from AMD designed for commercial embedded applications. It provides a compact, surface-mount solution with a 208-BFQFP package and a balance of logic capacity, I/O count and on-chip memory for glue logic, I/O expansion and custom digital functions.

Key electrical and environmental characteristics include a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply range and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, making it suitable for typical commercial electronic designs.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 950 logic elements and about 20,000 gates, providing discrete programmable resources for combinational and sequential logic implementation.
• On-Chip Memory  Approximately 0.013 Mbits of embedded memory (12,800 bits) for small data buffering, state storage and local scratch memory.
• I/O Count  Up to 160 general-purpose I/O pins to interface with peripherals, sensors, and external logic devices.
• Package and Mounting  208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB integration.
• Power  Single-supply operation from 3.0 V to 3.6 V to match common system power rails.
• Operating Conditions  Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for standard commercial environments.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant to meet common environmental and manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control  Implement custom control logic and finite-state machines where up to 950 logic elements and multiple I/Os are required.
• I/O Expansion and Bridging  Use the 160 I/O pins to bridge between different peripherals, bus interfaces or to aggregate sensor inputs.
• Glue Logic and System Integration  Replace discrete logic with a programmable solution to simplify board design and consolidate functions in a single device.
• Prototyping and Evaluation  Validate digital designs and proof-of-concept implementations that require modest logic density and on-chip memory.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: Combines approximately 950 logic elements with 12,800 bits of embedded RAM for practical on-chip data handling without external memory.
• High I/O Density: 160 available I/O pins enable flexible interfacing to multiple peripherals and buses, reducing the need for external port expanders.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: The 208-BFQFP (28×28 PQFP) package supports dense PCB layouts while maintaining a robust pinout for complex designs.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant to align with common commercial production and environmental requirements.
• Standard Power Requirements: Operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply, simplifying power-supply design for systems using common 3.3 V rails.
