Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This specific part number is officially marked as obsolete and discontinued per Xilinx Product Change Notice XCN12026. Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or approved substitute components. Ensure that any sourced units match the exact ordering suffixes for speed grade and temperature range specifications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

When selecting this FPGA, verify the required logic cell count against the 2,700 available resources. Confirm that the TQG144 package footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints. Check if the -6 speed grade meets the timing requirements for designs operating beyond 200 MHz. Consider the 1.8V core voltage requirement for power supply design.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The XC2S100E-6TQG144C belongs to the Spartan-IIE family, which offers densities ranging from 50,000 to 600,000 system gates. This series serves as a cost-effective alternative to mask-programmed ASICs, providing a streamlined architecture based on the Virtex-E FPGA design. The family emphasizes low-cost operation through 0.15 micron technology.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include LFXP2-5E-5TN144C from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation and T8Q144C3 from Efinix, Inc. These alternatives are listed as similar devices for migration purposes.
