XC2S200-6FGG728C Key Features and Benefits
High-Performance Spartan-II Architecture
The XC2S200-6FGG728C leverages the proven Spartan-II FPGA architecture, which is derived from the industry-leading Virtex platform. This second-generation ASIC replacement technology delivers streamlined features optimized for high-volume, cost-sensitive applications while maintaining exceptional performance capabilities.
Advanced Clock Management with DLL
This device integrates four dedicated Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs), positioned at each corner of the die for optimal clock distribution. The DLL features include:
- Zero propagation delay clock distribution
- Low clock skew across all flip-flops and block RAM
- Clock multiplication and division capabilities (divide by 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 8, or 16)
- Four quadrature phase outputs
- Board-level clock deskewing through clock mirroring functionality
Flexible SelectRAM Hierarchical Memory
The XC2S200-6FGG728C offers a sophisticated memory hierarchy through Xilinx’s SelectRAM technology:
- Distributed RAM: 16 bits per Look-Up Table (LUT) for fine-grained storage
- Block RAM: Configurable 4K-bit true dual-port RAM modules organized in columns
- Synchronous Operation: Both single-port and dual-port configurations supported
- Independent Port Control: Each block RAM port features independent clock, write enable, and address signals
Versatile I/O Standards Support
The 284 user I/O pins support 16 different signaling standards, enabling seamless integration with various interface protocols:
