Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' confirms the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the package designation matches the PQFP-208 physical footprint. Ensure the speed grade '4' aligns with the required timing constraints for the target design frequency. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official AMD Xilinx documentation to avoid counterfeit components.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 1920 ALMs and 216 kbit block RAM are sufficient for the logic density requirements. Choose the PQFP-208 package if through-hole or specific surface-mount form factors are mandated over BGA options. Verify that the 125 MHz performance meets the system clock requirements. Consider the industrial temperature rating if the deployment environment exceeds commercial limits.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Spartan-3 series, which targets entry-level and mid-range programmable logic markets. It serves as a bridge between complex ASIC designs and simpler CPLDs, offering reconfigurability for prototyping and final production in consumer electronics and industrial control systems.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The XC3S200-5PQ208I offers a higher speed grade while maintaining identical pinout and resource counts. The XC3S200AN variant provides enhanced analog capabilities for mixed-signal applications. Verify pin compatibility before substituting with these alternatives.
