XCS30-4PQ208C

The XCS30-4PQ208C is a Spartan® field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from AMD, supplied in a 208-pin BFQFP package. As a commercial-grade FPGA, it provides a compact programmable-logic solution with moderate logic capacity, on-chip RAM, and a high I/O count suitable for a wide range of embedded commercial designs.

Designed for applications that require integrated logic, I/O interfacing and small on-chip memory, this device delivers a balance of programmable resources and standard 5 V power compatibility for easy integration into existing commercial systems.

Key Features

• Core logic — 1,368 logic elements providing programmable logic capacity for control, glue logic and custom finite-state designs; approximately 30,000 gates of logic density.
• Embedded memory — 18,432 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.018 Mbits) for small buffers, FIFOs and state storage.
• I/O resources — 169 user I/O pins to support multiple external interfaces and parallel connections.
• Package & mounting — 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) with surface-mount assembly compatibility.
• Power — Operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply for designs using standard 5 V rails.
• Operating range — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant for lead-free assembly requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control and glue logic — Use the programmable logic and on-chip RAM to implement control state machines, protocol handlers, and board-level glue functions in commercial products.
• I/O expansion and interface bridging — 169 I/Os allow flexible bridging between multiple peripherals, buses or custom interfaces without additional multiplexers.
• Prototyping and development — Compact package and moderate resource set make this FPGA suitable for validating logic architectures and I/O-heavy prototypes.
• Consumer and commercial electronics — Commercial temperature rating and standard 5 V operation fit many consumer and general-purpose commercial applications.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced resource set: A mix of 1,368 logic elements and ~30,000 gates provides practical programmability for moderate-complexity designs without overspecification.
• High I/O density: 169 I/Os reduce the need for external I/O expanders and simplify board-level signal routing.
• On-chip buffering: 18,432 bits of embedded RAM support small data buffering and state retention directly on the FPGA.
• Standard 5 V compatibility: Operates across a 4.75 V–5.25 V supply range for straightforward integration with legacy 5 V systems.
• Commercial temperature rating: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C for reliable operation in typical commercial environments.
• RoHS compliant surface-mount package: 208-pin BFQFP in a 28×28 footprint supports common automated assembly processes.
