XC3S2000-4FGG456C

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The XC3S2000-4FGG456C is a Field Programmable Gate Array belonging to the Spartan-3 family, manufactured by Xilinx (now AMD). It features 5120 Logic Blocks and approximately 737,280 bits of on-chip RAM. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.14V to 1.26V and supports up to 333 user I/Os. It is available in a 456-ball FineLine BGA package with dimensions of 23x23 mm. The component is rated for commercial operating temperatures between 0°C and 85°C.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• SRAM-based architecture requiring external non-volatile configuration memory for power-up initialization.
• Supports multiple configuration modes including serial, parallel SelectMAP, and JTAG programming.
• Integrated Block RAM resources suitable for buffering and queue management tasks.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Glue logic replacement in embedded systems
• Interface bridging between disparate protocols
• Low-speed data acquisition systems

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official discontinuation notices, as certain Specification Control Document (SCD) part numbers were replaced by standard equivalents. Confirm the manufacturer source, noting that Xilinx is now part of AMD. Ensure the package type matches the required footprint for your PCB design.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Compare this model against other Spartan-3 variants based on required logic density and I/O count. Consider the 90nm process technology constraints when evaluating power consumption and thermal requirements. Verify compatibility with existing configuration flash memories and clock management resources for your specific system timing needs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component is part of the legacy Spartan-3 FPGA portfolio. While the Spartan-3 series established a baseline for cost-sensitive programmable logic, newer generations like Spartan-6, 7, and UltraScale offer enhanced performance and lower power consumption. This specific part remains relevant for maintaining older designs or cost-constrained applications where advanced features are unnecessary.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Check Xilinx discontinuation notices for direct replacements. Some SCD variants may be cross-shipped with standard part numbers. For new designs, consider migrating to Spartan-6 or Artix-7 families for improved efficiency and support.
