• Test and measurement instrumentation
• Networking infrastructure equipment

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FT256C' against official AMD documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and thermal specifications. Ensure that the lead time and availability status are confirmed directly with authorized distributors or AMD, as inventory levels fluctuate. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for your manufacturing process.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a moderate logic density FPGA with low power consumption is required. The Spartan-IIE series is suitable for cost-sensitive applications needing reprogrammability. Compare the 864 CLB count against your design resource requirements to ensure adequate capacity without unnecessary overhead.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Spartan-IIE product line, which bridges the gap between entry-level and high-performance FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with other Spartan-II devices but offers enhanced performance and lower power characteristics due to its 1.8V operation and improved process technology.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other Spartan-IIE variants with different package sizes or speed grades, such as the XC2S400E-6FGG456C. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility before substitution.
