XC2S200-6FGG509C Architecture Overview
Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs)
The XC2S200-6FGG509C features 1,176 Configurable Logic Blocks arranged in a 28 × 42 array. Each CLB contains four Logic Cells (LCs) with direct feedthrough paths for additional data input lines and local routing. This architecture provides exceptional flexibility for implementing complex digital logic functions.
Input/Output Blocks (IOBs)
The XC2S200-6FGG509C provides versatile I/O capabilities with support for multiple low-voltage I/O standards. The IOBs support various VCCO source voltages for output drive, enabling seamless integration with different system components and interfaces. Eight independent VCCO supplies allow maximum flexibility in multi-voltage designs.
Block RAM Architecture
Block RAM in the XC2S200-6FGG509C is organized in two columns along the vertical edges of the die. Each memory block is a fully synchronous dual-ported 4,096-bit RAM with independent control signals for each port. The data widths of the two ports can be configured independently, providing built-in width conversion capabilities.
Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs)
Four Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs) are positioned at each corner of the die, providing advanced clock management features including clock deskewing, clock multiplication/division, and phase shifting. The DLLs can operate as clock mirrors for board-level clock deskewing applications.
