XC2S200 Logic Architecture
The XC2S200’s programmable logic is built around a matrix of Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), each containing:
- Four 4-input Look-Up Tables (LUTs)
- Four storage elements (flip-flops or latches)
- Dedicated carry and arithmetic logic
- Wide-function multiplexers
This architecture enables the XC2S200-6FGG1084C to implement a wide variety of combinatorial and sequential logic functions efficiently.
