XC2S200-6FGG508C Key Features and Benefits
The XC2S200-6FGG508C combines powerful logic resources with advanced memory capabilities, providing engineers with a superior alternative to mask-programmed ASICs. This FPGA eliminates lengthy development cycles and reduces design risk while enabling field-upgradable functionality.
Core Logic Resources
The device features 1,176 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) arranged in a 28×42 array architecture. Each CLB contains four logic cells with 4-input function generators (LUTs), storage elements, and dedicated carry logic. This translates to 5,292 logic cells capable of implementing complex digital designs.
High-Capacity Embedded Block RAM
Integrated 56Kb of dual-port Block RAM provides high-speed on-chip memory for data buffering, FIFO implementation, and register file applications. Each 4,096-bit RAM block operates as fully synchronous dual-ported memory with independent control signals and configurable data widths for maximum design flexibility.
Advanced Clock Management
Four integrated Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs) positioned at each die corner deliver precise clock distribution and deskewing capabilities. The DLLs support clock multiplication, division, and phase shifting to optimize system timing across your entire design.
