XC3S200A-5FTG256C

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The XC3S200A-5FTG256C is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the Spartan-3A family, manufactured by AMD. It features 4032 logic elements and 480 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs). The device provides 195 user I/Os within a 256-ball FineLine BGA package measuring 17x17 mm. Total embedded block RAM capacity is 288 kbit, supplemented by distributed RAM resources. The core supply voltage operates between 1.14V and 1.26V, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 85°C for commercial grade.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Supports high-density logic implementation through 4032 logic elements and extensive embedded memory resources.
• Offers flexible I/O configuration supporting multiple voltage standards via 195 available pins.
• Enables system integration using standard serial or parallel configuration modes with external non-volatile memory.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Glue logic replacement in complex digital systems
• Interface bridging between disparate protocol domains
• Low-speed data acquisition and signal processing

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or official AMD channels. Confirm the specific suffix indicates the correct speed grade and temperature rating. Check for obsolescence notices as Spartan-3A products may have reached end-of-life status. Ensure design files are compatible with current tool versions.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Evaluate if the 4032 logic element count meets design requirements without excessive overhead. Compare pin counts against interface needs to ensure sufficient I/O availability. Consider thermal management capabilities inherent to the FBGA-256 package. Assess power consumption profiles relative to system constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component is part of the Spartan-3A FPGA family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate logic density. It succeeds earlier Spartan-3 variants with improved performance and lower power characteristics. The series targets embedded control and interface applications where reprogrammability is essential.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Spartan-3A devices with similar logic counts but different packages, such as XC3S200A-4FGG400C. Cross-family migration to Spartan-6 or Artix-7 requires significant design adaptation due to architectural differences.
