XC2S200-6FGG1092C Features & Architecture
Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs)
The XC2S200-6FGG1092C features a 28×42 array of Configurable Logic Blocks, each containing four-input look-up tables (LUTs), flip-flops, and fast carry logic. This architecture enables efficient implementation of combinational and sequential digital circuits, arithmetic functions, and state machines.
Block RAM & Distributed RAM
The device includes 56K bits of dedicated block RAM organized in two columns on either side of the CLB array. In addition, 75,264 bits of distributed RAM can be inferred directly from LUT resources. Together, these memory resources support FIFOs, data buffers, coefficient tables, and look-up storage for DSP pipelines.
Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs)
Four on-chip Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs) — one at each corner of the die — allow the XC2S200-6FGG1092C to eliminate clock distribution skew, multiply or divide clock frequencies, and shift clock phase. This makes the device highly suitable for synchronous high-speed designs without the need for external clock conditioning circuitry.
Multi-Standard I/O Support
The Input/Output Blocks (IOBs) on the XC2S200-6FGG1092C support a wide range of I/O standards including:
| I/O Standard |
Description |
| LVTTL |
Low-Voltage TTL (3.3V) |
| LVCMOS |

| PCI |
3.3V PCI bus compatible |
| GTL / GTL+ |
Gunning Transceiver Logic |
| HSTL |
High-Speed Transceiver Logic |
| SSTL |
Stub-Series Terminated Logic |
| AGP |
Accelerated Graphics Port |
JTAG Boundary Scan
Full IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan support is integrated on-chip, allowing in-system device configuration, board-level functional testing, and configuration readback — simplifying debug and production test workflows.

The XC2S200-6FGG1092C is the premium configuration — combining the fastest (-6) speed grade, the highest pin-count package (1092 balls) for maximum I/O access, lead-free compliance, and the commercial temperature rating required for cost-sensitive commercial electronics.
Design Tool Support
The XC2S200-6FGG1092C is supported by Xilinx (AMD) design tools. Because the Spartan-II is a legacy family, the recommended tool is ISE Design Suite (Xilinx ISE 14.7), which provides:
- HDL synthesis (VHDL / Verilog)
- Place and route for Spartan-II devices
- Timing analysis and static timing reports
- iMPACT for JTAG-based programming and configuration
Note: The newer Vivado Design Suite does not support Spartan-II devices. Use ISE 14.7 for all XC2S200 development.
Ordering & Availability
When sourcing the XC2S200-6FGG1092C, buyers should verify:
- Authenticity – Source from authorized distributors or verified component brokers to avoid counterfeit parts.
- Date Code – Check that the date code aligns with your production requirements.
- RoHS Compliance – The “G” in FGG confirms this is the lead-free, RoHS-compliant package variant.
- Configuration – Confirm speed grade (-6), package (FGG1092), and temperature range (C = Commercial) match your BOM.
