XC2S200-6FGG1075C Architecture Deep Dive
Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs)
The XC2S200 contains 1,176 Configurable Logic Blocks arranged in a 28×42 matrix. Each CLB consists of two slices, and each slice contains two 4-input Look-Up Tables (LUTs) and two flip-flops. This translates into significant combinational and sequential logic density — capable of implementing complex FSMs, data paths, and arithmetic functions with high resource efficiency.
Block RAM – Dual-Port Synchronous Memory
One of the XC2S200’s standout features is its 14 blocks of 4,096-bit dual-port synchronous RAM, totalling 56K bits of on-chip storage. Key characteristics include:
- Fully synchronous operation on both ports independently
- Configurable data width on each port (independently configurable)
- Ideal for FIFOs, look-up tables, buffers, and embedded memory applications
- Each block is 4 CLBs high and arranged in two vertical columns at each edge of the die
Input/Output Blocks (IOBs) and User I/O
The XC2S200-6FGG1075C provides 284 user I/O pins (excluding the 4 global clock/user input pins). The IOBs support:
- Programmable input/output signal standards
- 3-state output control
- Input delay and output slew-rate control
- Boundary-scan JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) support for in-system testing
Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs)
Four DLLs — one at each corner of the die — enable advanced clock management capabilities:
- Clock deskewing across the device
- Frequency synthesis (multiply and divide)
- Clock mirroring for board-level clock synchronization across multiple devices
- Phase-shift control for timing-critical designs
Configuration Modes for XC2S200-6FGG1075C
The XC2S200 supports multiple configuration modes to suit different system architectures:

Like all Spartan-II devices, the XC2S200-6FGG1075C eliminates the costly NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering) fees associated with ASICs. There’s no lengthy tape-out cycle, and the field-programmable nature means hardware upgrades without board replacement — a key advantage in fast-moving product cycles.
#### 3. High Pin Count in Compact BGA Footprint
The FGG1075 package provides 1,075 pins in a fine-pitch ball grid array, enabling maximum connectivity in complex multi-chip designs while maintaining a compact PCB footprint compared to QFP alternatives.
#### 4. Proven 0.18µm Process Node Reliability
Built on a mature and stable 0.18µm silicon process, the XC2S200-6FGG1075C offers predictable electrical characteristics and long-term supply reliability — an important consideration for industrial and defense-adjacent commercial applications.

What is the XC2S200-6FGG1075C used for?
The XC2S200-6FGG1075C is a Spartan-II FPGA used in applications requiring reprogrammable logic, including telecom, industrial control, test equipment, networking, and embedded system design.
What does the “-6” speed grade mean on the XC2S200?
The -6 speed grade is the fastest available commercial grade for the XC2S200, supporting system frequencies up to 263 MHz. It is exclusively available in the commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C).
Is the XC2S200-6FGG1075C RoHS compliant?
The standard “C” suffix part is not RoHS compliant. The lead-free, RoHS-compliant equivalent is the XC2S200-6FGG1075GC, which includes a “G” in the ordering code denoting Pb-free packaging.
What software do I need to program the XC2S200-6FGG1075C?
The recommended design software is Xilinx ISE Design Suite (legacy tool), available from AMD/Xilinx. JTAG-based in-system configuration is supported via the standard 1149.1 boundary-scan interface.
What is the difference between FGG and FG packages in Xilinx part numbers?
Both are Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) packages. FGG generally denotes a larger, higher-pin-count variant compared to the standard FG designation — in this case, the FGG1075 provides 1,075 pins vs. 256 or 456 in smaller FG packages.
