Product Specification 2
 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Introduction and Ordering Information

Architectural Overview
The Spartan-3 family architecture consists of five fundamental programmable functional elements:
• Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) contain RAM-based Look-Up Tables (LUTs) to implement logic and storage
elements that can be used as flip-flops or latches. CLBs can be programmed to perform a wide variety of logical
functions as well as to store data.
• Input/Output Blocks (IOBs) control the flow of data between the I/O pins and the internal logic of the device. Each IOB
supports bidirectional data flow plus 3-state operation. Twenty-six different signal standards, including eight
high-performance differential standards, are available as shown in Table 2. Double Data-Rate (DDR) registers are
included. The Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) feature provides automatic on-chip terminations, simplifying board
designs.
• Block RAM provides data storage in the form of 18-Kbit dual-port blocks.
• Multiplier blocks accept two 18-bit binary numbers as inputs and calculate the product.
• Digital Clock Manager (DCM) blocks provide self-calibrating, fully digital solutions for distributing, delaying, multiplying,
dividing, and phase shifting clock signals.
These elements are organized as shown in Figure 1. A ring of IOBs surrounds a regular array of CLBs. The XC3S50 has a
single column of block RAM embedded in the array. Those devices ranging from the XC3S200 to the XC3S2000 have two
columns of block RAM. The XC3S4000 and XC3S5000 devices have four RAM columns. Each column is made up of several
18-Kbit RAM blocks; each block is associated with a dedicated multiplier. The DCMs are positioned at the ends of the outer
block RAM columns.
The Spartan-3 family features a rich network of traces and switches that interconnect all five functional elements,
transmitting signals among them. Each functional element has an associated switch matrix that permits multiple connections
to the routing.

Notes:
1. The two additional block RAM columns of the XC3S4000 and XC3S5000 devices
are shown with dashed lines. The XC3S50 has only the block RAM column on the
far left.
Figure 1: Spartan-3 Family Architecture

Configuration
Spartan-3 FPGAs are programmed by loading configuration data into robust reprogrammable static CMOS configuration
latches (CCLs) that collectively control all functional elements and routing resources. Before powering on the FPGA,
configuration data is stored externally in a PROM or some other nonvolatile medium either on or off the board. After applying

DS099 (v3.1) June 27, 2013 www.xilinx.com

Product Specification 3
 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Introduction and Ordering Information

power, the configuration data is written to the FPGA using any of five different modes: Master Parallel, Slave Parallel, Master
Serial, Slave Serial, and Boundary Scan (JTAG). The Master and Slave Parallel modes use an 8-bit-wide SelectMAP port.
The recommended memory for storing the configuration data is the low-cost Xilinx Platform Flash PROM family, which
includes the XCF00S PROMs for serial configuration and the higher density XCF00P PROMs for parallel or serial
configuration.

I/O Capabilities
The SelectIO feature of Spartan-3 devices supports eighteen single-ended standards and eight differential standards as
listed in Table 2. Many standards support the DCI feature, which uses integrated terminations to eliminate unwanted signal
reflections.

IOBs
For additional information, refer to the chapter entitled “Using I/O Resources” in UG331: Spartan-3 Generation FPGA User
Guide.

IOB Overview
The Input/Output Block (IOB) provides a programmable, bidirectional interface between an I/O pin and the FPGA’s internal
logic.
A simplified diagram of the IOB’s internal structure appears in Figure 7. There are three main signal paths within the IOB: the
output path, input path, and 3-state path. Each path has its own pair of storage elements that can act as either registers or
latches. For more information, see the Storage Element Functions section. The three main signal paths are as follows:
• The input path carries data from the pad, which is bonded to a package pin, through an optional programmable delay
element directly to the I line. There are alternate routes through a pair of storage elements to the IQ1 and IQ2 lines.
The IOB outputs I, IQ1, and IQ2 all lead to the FPGA’s internal logic. The delay element can be set to ensure a hold
time of zero.
• The output path, starting with the O1 and O2 lines, carries data from the FPGA’s internal logic through a multiplexer
and then a three-state driver to the IOB pad. In addition to this direct path, the multiplexer provides the option to insert
a pair of storage elements.
• The 3-state path determines when the output driver is high impedance. The T1 and T2 lines carry data from the
FPGA’s internal logic through a multiplexer to the output driver. In addition to this direct path, the multiplexer provides
the option to insert a pair of storage elements. When the T1 or T2 lines are asserted High, the output driver is
high-impedance (floating, hi-Z). The output driver is active-Low enabled.
• All signal paths entering the IOB, including those associated with the storage elements, have an inverter option. Any
inverter placed on these paths is automatically absorbed into the IOB.

Storage Element Functions

There are three pairs of storage elements in each IOB, one pair for each of the three paths. It is possible to configure each
of these storage elements as an edge-triggered D-type flip-flop (FD) or a level-sensitive latch (LD).
The storage-element-pair on either the Output path or the Three-State path can be used together with a special multiplexer
to produce Double-Data-Rate (DDR) transmission. This is accomplished by taking data synchronized to the clock signal’s
rising edge and converting them to bits synchronized on both the rising and the falling edge. The combination of two
registers and a multiplexer is referred to as a Double-Data-Rate D-type flip-flop (FDDR). See Double-Data-Rate
Transmission, page 12 for more information.
The signal paths associated with the storage element are described in Table 5.

Table 5: Storage Element Signal Description

Storage
Element Description Function
Signal
D Data input Data at this input is stored on the active edge of CK enabled by CE. For latch operation when the
input is enabled, data passes directly to the output Q.
Q Data output The data on this output reflects the state of the storage element. For operation as a latch in
transparent mode, Q will mirror the data at D.
CK Clock input A signal’s active edge on this input with CE asserted, loads data into the storage element.
CE Clock Enable input When asserted, this input enables CK. If not connected, CE defaults to the asserted state.
SR Set/Reset Forces storage element into the state specified by the SRHIGH/SRLOW attributes. The
SYNC/ASYNC attribute setting determines if the SR input is synchronized to the clock or not.
REV Reverse Used together with SR. Forces storage element into the state opposite from what SR does.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

According to Figure 7, the clock line OTCLK1 connects the CK inputs of the upper registers on the output and three-state
paths. Similarly, OTCLK2 connects the CK inputs for the lower registers on the output and three-state paths. The upper and
lower registers on the input path have independent clock lines: ICLK1 and ICLK2. The enable line OCE connects the CE
inputs of the upper and lower registers on the output path. Similarly, TCE connects the CE inputs for the register pair on the
three-state path and ICE does the same for the register pair on the input path. The Set/Reset (SR) line entering the IOB is
common to all six registers, as is the Reverse (REV) line.
Each storage element supports numerous options in addition to the control over signal polarity described in the IOB
Overview section. These are described in Table 6.

choosing SRLOW also selects INIT0; choosing for the other).
SRHIGH also selects INIT1.

Double-Data-Rate Transmission
Double-Data-Rate (DDR) transmission describes the technique of synchronizing signals to both the rising and falling edges
of the clock signal. Spartan-3 devices use register-pairs in all three IOB paths to perform DDR operations.
The pair of storage elements on the IOB’s Output path (OFF1 and OFF2), used as registers, combine with a special
multiplexer to form a DDR D-type flip-flop (FDDR). This primitive permits DDR transmission where output data bits are
synchronized to both the rising and falling edges of a clock. It is possible to access this function by placing either an
FDDRRSE or an FDDRCPE component or symbol into the design. DDR operation requires two clock signals (50% duty
cycle), one the inverted form of the other. These signals trigger the two registers in alternating fashion, as shown in Figure 8.
Commonly, the Digital Clock Manager (DCM) generates the two clock signals by mirroring an incoming signal, then shifting
it 180 degrees. This approach ensures minimal skew between the two signals.
The storage-element-pair on the Three-State path (TFF1 and TFF2) can also be combined with a local multiplexer to form
an FDDR primitive. This permits synchronizing the output enable to both the rising and falling edges of a clock. This DDR
operation is realized in the same way as for the output path.
The storage-element-pair on the input path (IFF1 and IFF2) allows an I/O to receive a DDR signal. An incoming DDR clock
signal triggers one register and the inverted clock signal triggers the other register. In this way, the registers take turns
capturing bits of the incoming DDR data signal.

Figure 8: Clocking the DDR Register

Aside from high bandwidth data transfers, DDR can also be used to reproduce, or “mirror”, a clock signal on the output. This
approach is used to transmit clock and data signals together. A similar approach is used to reproduce a clock signal at
multiple outputs. The advantage for both approaches is that skew across the outputs will be minimal.
Some adjacent I/O blocks (IOBs) share common routing connecting the ICLK1, ICLK2, OTCLK1, and OTCLK2 clock inputs
of both IOBs. These IOB pairs are identified by their differential pair names IO_LxxN_# and IO_LxxP_#, where "xx" is an I/O
pair number and ‘#’ is an I/O bank number. Two adjacent IOBs containing DDR registers must share common clock inputs,
otherwise one or more of the clock signals will be unroutable.

Pull-Up and Pull-Down Resistors

The optional pull-up and pull-down resistors are intended to establish High and Low levels, respectively, at unused I/Os. The
pull-up resistor optionally connects each IOB pad to VCCO. A pull-down resistor optionally connects each pad to GND. These
resistors are placed in a design using the PULLUP and PULLDOWN symbols in a schematic, respectively. They can also be
instantiated as components, set as constraints or passed as attributes in HDL code. These resistors can also be selected for
all unused I/O using the Bitstream Generator (BitGen) option UnusedPin. A Low logic level on HSWAP_EN activates the
pull-up resistors on all I/Os during configuration (see The I/Os During Power-On, Configuration, and User Mode, page 21).
The Spartan-3 FPGAs I/O pull-up and pull-down resistors are significantly stronger than the "weak" pull-up/pull-down
resistors used in previous Xilinx FPGA families. See Table 33, page 61 for equivalent resistor strengths.

Keeper Circuit
Each I/O has an optional keeper circuit that retains the last logic level on a line after all drivers have been turned off. This is
useful to keep bus lines from floating when all connected drivers are in a high-impedance state. This function is placed in a
design using the KEEPER symbol. Pull-up and pull-down resistors override the keeper circuit.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

ESD Protection
Clamp diodes protect all device pads against damage from Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) as well as excessive voltage
transients. Each I/O has two clamp diodes: One diode extends P-to-N from the pad to VCCO and a second diode extends
N-to-P from the pad to GND. During operation, these diodes are normally biased in the off state. These clamp diodes are
always connected to the pad, regardless of the signal standard selected. The presence of diodes limits the ability of
Spartan-3 FPGA I/Os to tolerate high signal voltages. The VIN absolute maximum rating in Table 28, page 58 specifies the
voltage range that I/Os can tolerate.

Slew Rate Control and Drive Strength

Two options, FAST and SLOW, control the output slew rate. The FAST option supports output switching at a high rate. The
SLOW option reduces bus transients. These options are only available when using one of the LVCMOS or LVTTL standards,
which also provide up to seven different levels of current drive strength: 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24 mA. Choosing the
appropriate drive strength level is yet another means to minimize bus transients.
Table 7 shows the drive strengths that the LVCMOS and LVTTL standards support.

Boundary-Scan Capability
All Spartan-3 FPGA IOBs support boundary-scan testing compatible with IEEE 1149.1 standards. During boundary- scan
operations such as EXTEST and HIGHZ the I/O pull-down resistor is active. For more information, see Boundary-Scan
(JTAG) Mode, page 50, and refer to the “Using Boundary-Scan and BSDL Files” chapter in UG331.

SelectIO Interface Signal Standards

The IOBs support 18 different single-ended signal standards, as listed in Table 8. Furthermore, the majority of IOBs can be
used in specific pairs supporting any of eight differential signal standards, as shown in Table 9.
To define the SelectIO™ interface signaling standard in a design, set the IOSTANDARD attribute to the appropriate setting.
Xilinx provides a variety of different methods for applying the IOSTANDARD for maximum flexibility. For a full description of
different methods of applying attributes to control IOSTANDARD, refer to the “Using I/O Resources” chapter in UG331.
Together with placing the appropriate I/O symbol, two externally applied voltage levels, VCCO and VREF, select the desired
signal standard. The VCCO lines provide current to the output driver. The voltage on these lines determines the output
voltage swing for all standards except GTL and GTLP.
All single-ended standards except the LVCMOS, LVTTL, and PCI varieties require a Reference Voltage (VREF) to bias the
input-switching threshold. Once a configuration data file is loaded into the FPGA that calls for the I/Os of a given bank to use
such a signal standard, a few specifically reserved I/O pins on the same bank automatically convert to VREF inputs. When
using one of the LVCMOS standards, these pins remain I/Os because the VCCO voltage biases the input-switching
threshold, so there is no need for VREF. Select the VCCO and VREF levels to suit the desired single-ended standard according
to Table 8.

Notes:
1. Banks 4 and 5 of any Spartan-3 device in a VQ100 package do not support signal standards using VREF.
2. The VCCO level used for the GTL and GTLP standards must be no lower than the termination voltage (VTT), nor can it be lower than the
voltage at the I/O pad.
3. See Table 10 for a listing of the single-ended DCI standards.

Differential standards employ a pair of signals, one the opposite polarity of the other. The noise canceling (e.g.,
Common-Mode Rejection) properties of these standards permit exceptionally high data transfer rates. This section
introduces the differential signaling capabilities of Spartan-3 devices.
Each device-package combination designates specific I/O pairs that are specially optimized to support differential
standards. A unique “L-number”, part of the pin name, identifies the line-pairs associated with each bank (see Figure 40,
page 112). For each pair, the letters ‘P’ and ‘N’ designate the true and inverted lines, respectively. For example, the pin
names IO_L43P_7 and IO_L43N_7 indicate the true and inverted lines comprising the line pair L43 on Bank 7. The VCCO
lines provide current to the outputs. The VCCAUX lines supply power to the differential inputs, making them independent of
the VCCO voltage for an I/O bank. The VREF lines are not used. Select the VCCO level to suit the desired differential standard
according to Table 9.

The need to supply VREF and VCCO imposes constraints on which standards can be used in the same bank. See The
Organization of IOBs into Banks section for additional guidelines concerning the use of the VCCO and VREF lines.

Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI)

When the round-trip delay of an output signal—i.e., from output to input and back again—exceeds rise and fall times, it is
common practice to add termination resistors to the line carrying the signal. These resistors effectively match the impedance
of a device’s I/O to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line, thereby preventing reflections that adversely affect
signal integrity. However, with the high I/O counts supported by modern devices, adding resistors requires significantly more
components and board area. Furthermore, for some packages—e.g., ball grid arrays—it may not always be possible to
place resistors close to pins.
DCI answers these concerns by providing two kinds of on-chip terminations: Parallel terminations make use of an integrated
resistor network. Series terminations result from controlling the impedance of output drivers. DCI actively adjusts both
parallel and series terminations to accurately match the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. This adjustment
process compensates for differences in I/O impedance that can result from normal variation in the ambient temperature, the
supply voltage and the manufacturing process. When the output driver turns off, the series termination, by definition,
approaches a very high impedance; in contrast, parallel termination resistors remain at the targeted values.
DCI is available only for certain I/O standards, as listed in Table 10. DCI is selected by applying the appropriate I/O standard
extensions to symbols or components. There are five basic ways to configure terminations, as shown in Table 11. The DCI
I/O standard determines which of these terminations is put into effect.
HSTL_I_DCI-, HSTL_III_DCI-, and SSTL2_I_DCI-type outputs do not require the VRN and VRP reference resistors.
Likewise, LVDCI-type inputs do not require the VRN and VRP reference resistors. In a bank without any DCI I/O or a bank
containing non-DCI I/O and purely HSTL_I_DCI- or HSTL_III_DCI-type outputs, or SSTL2_I_DCI-type outputs or
LVDCI-type inputs, the associated VRN and VRP pins can be used as general-purpose I/O pins.
The HSLVDCI (High-Speed LVDCI) standard is intended for bidirectional use. The driver is identical to LVDCI, while the input
is identical to HSTL. By using a VREF-referenced input, HSLVDCI allows greater input sensitivity at the receiver than when
using a single-ended LVCMOS-type receiver.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

The DCI feature operates independently for each of the device’s eight banks. Each bank has an ‘N’ reference pin (VRN) and
a ‘P’ reference pin, (VRP), to calibrate driver and termination resistance. Only when using a DCI standard on a given bank
do these two pins function as VRN and VRP. When not using a DCI standard, the two pins function as user I/Os. As shown
in Figure 9, add an external reference resistor to pull the VRN pin up to VCCO and another reference resistor to pull the VRP
pin down to GND. Also see Figure 42, page 116. Both resistors have the same value—commonly 50Ω—with one-percent
tolerance, which is either the characteristic impedance of the line or twice that, depending on the DCI standard in use.
Standards having a symbol name that contains the letters “DV2” use a reference resistor value that is twice the line
impedance. DCI adjusts the output driver impedance to match the reference resistors’ value or half that, according to the
standard. DCI always adjusts the on-chip termination resistors to directly match the reference resistors’ value.

The rules guiding the use of DCI standards on banks are as follows:
• No more than one DCI I/O standard with a Single Termination is allowed per bank.
• No more than one DCI I/O standard with a Split Termination is allowed per bank.
• Single Termination, Split Termination, Controlled- Impedance Driver, and Controlled-Impedance Driver with Half
Impedance can co-exist in the same bank.
See also The Organization of IOBs into Banks, immediately below, and DCI: User I/O or Digitally Controlled Impedance
Resistor Reference Input, page 115.
The Organization of IOBs into Banks
IOBs are allocated among eight banks, so that each side of the device has two banks, as shown in Figure 10. For all
packages, each bank has independent VREF lines. For example, VREF Bank 3 lines are separate from the VREF lines going
to all other banks.
For the Very Thin Quad Flat Pack (VQ), Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQ), Fine Pitch Thin Ball Grid Array (FT), and Fine Pitch Ball
Grid Array (FG) packages, each bank has dedicated VCCO lines. For example, the VCCO Bank 7 lines are separate from the
VCCO lines going to all other banks. Thus, Spartan-3 devices in these packages support eight independent VCCO supplies.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

In contrast, the 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQ144) package and the 132-pin Chip-Scale Package (CP132) tie VCCO
together internally for the pair of banks on each side of the device. For example, the VCCO Bank 0 and the VCCO Bank 1 lines
are tied together. The interconnected bank-pairs are 0/1, 2/3, 4/5, and 6/7. As a result, Spartan-3 devices in the CP132 and
TQ144 packages support four independent VCCO supplies.
Note: The CP132 package is discontinued. See http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation /spartan-3_customer_notices.htm.

Spartan-3 FPGA Compatibility

Within the Spartan-3 family, all devices are pin-compatible by package. When the need for future logic resources outgrows
the capacity of the Spartan-3 device in current use, a larger device in the same package can serve as a direct replacement.
Larger devices may add extra VREF and VCCO lines to support a greater number of I/Os. In the larger device, more pins can
convert from user I/Os to VREF lines. Also, additional VCCO lines are bonded out to pins that were “not connected” in the
smaller device. Thus, it is important to plan for future upgrades at the time of the board’s initial design by laying out
connections to the extra pins.
The Spartan-3 family is not pin-compatible with any previous Xilinx FPGA family or with other platforms among the
Spartan-3 Generation FPGAs.

Rules Concerning Banks

When assigning I/Os to banks, it is important to follow the following VCCO rules:
• Leave no VCCO pins unconnected on the FPGA.
• Set all VCCO lines associated with the (interconnected) bank to the same voltage level.
• The VCCO levels used by all standards assigned to the I/Os of the (interconnected) bank(s) must agree. The Xilinx
development software checks for this. Tables 8, 9, and 10 describe how different standards use the VCCO supply.
• Only one of the following standards is allowed on outputs per bank: LVDS, LDT, LVDS_EXT, or RSDS. This restriction is
for the eight banks in each device, even if the VCCO levels are shared across banks, as in the CP132 and TQ144
packages.
• If none of the standards assigned to the I/Os of the (interconnected) bank(s) uses VCCO, tie all associated VCCO lines to
2.5V.
• In general, apply 2.5V to VCCO Bank 4 from power-on to the end of configuration. Apply the same voltage to VCCO Bank
5 during parallel configuration or a Readback operation. For information on how to program the FPGA using 3.3V
signals and power, see the 3.3V-Tolerant Configuration Interface section.
If any of the standards assigned to the Inputs of the bank use VREF, then observe the following additional rules:
• Connect all VREF pins within the bank to the same voltage level.
• The VREF levels used by all standards assigned to the Inputs of the bank must agree. The Xilinx development software
checks for this. Tables 8 and 10 describe how different standards use the VREF supply.
If none of the standards assigned to the Inputs of a bank use VREF for biasing input switching thresholds, all associated VREF
pins function as User I/Os.

Exceptions to Banks Supporting I/O Standards

Bank 5 of any Spartan-3 device in a VQ100, CP132, or TQ144 package does not support DCI signal standards. In this case,
bank 5 has neither VRN nor VRP pins.
Furthermore, banks 4 and 5 of any Spartan-3 device in a VQ100 package do not support signal standards using VREF (see
Table 8). In this case, the two banks do not have any VREF pins.

Supply Voltages for the IOBs

Three different supplies power the IOBs:
• The VCCO supplies, one for each of the FPGA’s I/O banks, power the output drivers, except when using the GTL and
GTLP signal standards. The voltage on the VCCO pins determines the voltage swing of the output signal.
• VCCINT is the main power supply for the FPGA’s internal logic.
• The VCCAUX is an auxiliary source of power, primarily to optimize the performance of various FPGA functions such as
I/O switching.

The I/Os During Power-On, Configuration, and User Mode

With no power applied to the FPGA, all I/Os are in a high-impedance state. The VCCINT (1.2V), VCCAUX (2.5V), and VCCO
supplies may be applied in any order. Before power-on can finish, VCCINT, VCCO Bank 4, and VCCAUX must have reached
their respective minimum recommended operating levels (see Table 29, page 59). At this time, all I/O drivers also will be in
a high-impedance state. VCCO Bank 4, VCCINT, and VCCAUX serve as inputs to the internal Power-On Reset circuit (POR).
A Low level applied to the HSWAP_EN input enables pull-up resistors on User I/Os from power-on throughout configuration.
A High level on HSWAP_EN disables the pull-up resistors, allowing the I/Os to float. If the HSWAP_EN pin is floating, then
an internal pull-up resistor pulls HSWAP_EN High. As soon as power is applied, the FPGA begins initializing its
configuration memory. At the same time, the FPGA internally asserts the Global Set-Reset (GSR), which asynchronously
resets all IOB storage elements to a Low state.
Upon the completion of initialization, INIT_B goes High, sampling the M0, M1, and M2 inputs to determine the configuration
mode. At this point, the configuration data is loaded into the FPGA. The I/O drivers remain in a high-impedance state (with
or without pull-up resistors, as determined by the HSWAP_EN input) throughout configuration.
The Global Three State (GTS) net is released during Start-Up, marking the end of configuration and the beginning of design
operation in the User mode. At this point, those I/Os to which signals have been assigned go active while all unused I/Os
remain in a high-impedance state. The release of the GSR net, also part of Start-up, leaves the IOB registers in a Low state
by default, unless the loaded design reverses the polarity of their respective RS inputs.
In User mode, all internal pull-up resistors on the I/Os are disabled and HSWAP_EN becomes a “don’t care” input. If it is
desirable to have pull-up or pull-down resistors on I/Os carrying signals, the appropriate symbol—e.g., PULLUP,
PULLDOWN—must be placed at the appropriate pads in the design. The Bitstream Generator (Bitgen) option UnusedPin
available in the Xilinx development software determines whether unused I/Os collectively have pull-up resistors, pull-down
resistors, or no resistors in User mode.

CLB Overview
For more details on the CLBs, refer to the chapter entitled “Using Configurable Logic Blocks” in UG331.
The Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) constitute the main logic resource for implementing synchronous as well as
combinatorial circuits. Each CLB comprises four interconnected slices, as shown in Figure 11. These slices are grouped in
pairs. Each pair is organized as a column with an independent carry chain.
The nomenclature that the FPGA Editor—part of the Xilinx development software—uses to designate slices is as follows:
The letter ‘X’ followed by a number identifies columns of slices. The ‘X’ number counts up in sequence from the left side of
the die to the right. The letter ‘Y’ followed by a number identifies the position of each slice in a pair as well as indicating the
CLB row. The ‘Y’ number counts slices starting from the bottom of the die according to the sequence: 0, 1, 0, 1 (the first CLB
row); 2, 3, 2, 3 (the second CLB row); etc. Figure 11 shows the CLB located in the lower left-hand corner of the die. Slices
X0Y0 and X0Y1 make up the column-pair on the left where as slices X1Y0 and X1Y1 make up the column-pair on the right.
For each CLB, the term “left-hand” (or SLICEM) indicates the pair of slices labeled with an even ‘X’ number, such as X0, and
the term “right-hand” (or SLICEL) designates the pair of slices with an odd ‘X’ number, e.g., X1.

Figure 11: Arrangement of Slices within the CLB

Elements Within a Slice

All four slices have the following elements in common: two logic function generators, two storage elements, wide-function
multiplexers, carry logic, and arithmetic gates, as shown in Figure 12, page 24. Both the left-hand and right-hand slice pairs
use these elements to provide logic, arithmetic, and ROM functions. Besides these, the left-hand pair supports two
additional functions: storing data using Distributed RAM and shifting data with 16-bit registers. Figure 12 is a diagram of the
left-hand slice; therefore, it represents a superset of the elements and connections to be found in all slices. See Function
Generator, page 25 for more information.
The RAM-based function generator—also known as a Look-Up Table or LUT—is the main resource for implementing logic
functions. Furthermore, the LUTs in each left-hand slice pair can be configured as Distributed RAM or a 16-bit shift register.
For information on the former, refer to the chapter entitled “Using Look-Up Tables as Distributed RAM” in UG331; for
information on the latter, refer to the chapter entitled “Using Look-Up Tables as Shift Registers” in UG331. The function
generators located in the upper and lower portions of the slice are referred to as the "G" and "F", respectively.
The storage element, which is programmable as either a D-type flip-flop or a level-sensitive latch, provides a means for
synchronizing data to a clock signal, among other uses. The storage elements in the upper and lower portions of the slice
are called FFY and FFX, respectively.
Wide-function multiplexers effectively combine LUTs in order to permit more complex logic operations. Each slice has two of
these multiplexers with F5MUX in the lower portion of the slice and FiMUX in the upper portion. Depending on the slice,
FiMUX takes on the name F6MUX, F7MUX, or F8MUX. For more details on the multiplexers, refer to the chapter entitled
“Using Dedicated Multiplexers” in UG331.
The carry chain, together with various dedicated arithmetic logic gates, support fast and efficient implementations of math
operations. The carry chain enters the slice as CIN and exits as COUT. Five multiplexers control the chain: CYINIT, CY0F,
and CYMUXF in the lower portion as well as CY0G and CYMUXG in the upper portion. The dedicated arithmetic logic
includes the exclusive-OR gates XORG and XORF (upper and lower portions of the slice, respectively) as well as the AND
gates GAND and FAND (upper and lower portions, respectively). For more details on the carry logic, refer to the chapter
entitled “Using Carry and Arithmetic Logic” in UG331.

Main Logic Paths

Central to the operation of each slice are two nearly identical data paths, distinguished using the terms top and bottom. The
description that follows uses names associated with the bottom path. (The top path names appear in parentheses.) The
basic path originates at an interconnect-switch matrix outside the CLB. Four lines, F1 through F4 (or G1 through G4 on the

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

upper path), enter the slice and connect directly to the LUT. Once inside the slice, the lower 4-bit path passes through a
function generator ‘F’ (or ‘G’) that performs logic operations. The function generator’s Data output, ‘D’, offers five possible
paths:
• Exit the slice via line ‘X’ (or ‘Y’) and return to interconnect.
• Inside the slice, ‘X’ (or ‘Y’) serves as an input to the DXMUX (DYMUX) which feeds the data input, ‘D’, of the FFX (FFY)
storage element. The ‘Q’ output of the storage element drives the line XQ (or YQ) which exits the slice.
• Control the CYMUXF (or CYMUXG) multiplexer on the carry chain.
• With the carry chain, serve as an input to the XORF (or XORG) exclusive-OR gate that performs arithmetic operations,
producing a result on ‘X’ (or ‘Y’).
• Drive the multiplexer F5MUX to implement logic functions wider than four bits. The ‘D’ outputs of both the F-LUT and
G-LUT serve as data inputs to this multiplexer.
In addition to the main logic paths described above, there are two bypass paths that enter the slice as BX and BY. Once
inside the FPGA, BX in the bottom half of the slice (or BY in the top half) can take any of several possible branches:
• Bypass both the LUT and the storage element, then exit the slice as BXOUT (or BYOUT) and return to interconnect.
• Bypass the LUT, then pass through a storage element via the D input before exiting as XQ (or YQ).
• Control the wide function multiplexer F5MUX (or F6MUX).
• Via multiplexers, serve as an input to the carry chain.
• Drives the DI input of the LUT.
• BY can control the REV inputs of both the FFY and FFX storage elements.
• Finally, the DIG_MUX multiplexer can switch BY onto the DIG line, which exits the slice.
Other slice signals shown in Figure 12 are discussed in the sections that follow.

Function Generator
Each of the two LUTs (F and G) in a slice have four logic inputs (A1-A4) and a single output (D). This permits any
four-variable Boolean logic operation to be programmed into them. Furthermore, wide function multiplexers can be used to
effectively combine LUTs within the same CLB or across different CLBs, making logic functions with still more input variables
possible.
The LUTs in both the right-hand and left-hand slice-pairs not only support the logic functions described above, but also can
function as ROM that is initialized with data at the time of configuration.
The LUTs in the left-hand slice-pair (even-numbered columns such as X0 in Figure 11) of each CLB support two additional
functions that the right-hand slice-pair (odd-numbered columns such as X1) do not.
First, it is possible to program the “left-hand LUTs” as distributed RAM. This type of memory affords moderate amounts of
data buffering anywhere along a data path. One left-hand LUT stores 16 bits. Multiple left-hand LUTs can be combined in
various ways to store larger amounts of data. A dual port option combines two LUTs so that memory access is possible from
two independent data lines. A Distributed ROM option permits pre-loading the memory with data during FPGA configuration.
Second, it is possible to program each left-hand LUT as a 16-bit shift register. Used in this way, each LUT can delay serial
data anywhere from one to 16 clock cycles. The four left-hand LUTs of a single CLB can be combined to produce delays up
to 64 clock cycles. The SHIFTIN and SHIFTOUT lines cascade LUTs to form larger shift registers. It is also possible to
combine shift registers across more than one CLB. The resulting programmable delays can be used to balance the timing
of data pipelines.

Block RAM Overview

All Spartan-3 devices support block RAM, which is organized as configurable, synchronous 18Kbit blocks. Block RAM stores
relatively large amounts of data more efficiently than the distributed RAM feature described earlier. (The latter is better
suited for buffering small amounts of data anywhere along signal paths.) This section describes basic Block RAM functions.
For more information, refer to the chapter entitled “Using Block RAM” in UG331.
The aspect ratio—i.e., width vs. depth—of each block RAM is configurable. Furthermore, multiple blocks can be cascaded
to create still wider and/or deeper memories.
A choice among primitives determines whether the block RAM functions as dual- or single-port memory. A name of the form
RAMB16_S[wA]_S[wB] calls out the dual-port primitive, where the integers wA and wB specify the total data path width at
ports wA and wB, respectively. Thus, a RAMB16_S9_S18 is a dual-port RAM with a 9-bit-wide Port A and an 18-bit-wide Port
B. A name of the form RAMB16_S[w] identifies the single-port primitive, where the integer w specifies the total data path
width of the lone port. A RAMB16_S18 is a single-port RAM with an 18-bit-wide port. Other memory functions—e.g., FIFOs,
data path width conversion, ROM, etc.—are readily available using the CORE Generator™ software, part of the Xilinx
development software.

Arrangement of RAM Blocks on Die

The XC3S50 has one column of block RAM. The Spartan-3 devices ranging from the XC3S200 to XC3S2000 have two
columns of block RAM. The XC3S4000 and XC3S5000 have four columns. The position of the columns on the die is shown
in Figure 1, page 3. For a given device, the total available RAM blocks are distributed equally among the columns. Table 12
shows the number of RAM blocks, the data storage capacity, and the number of columns for each device.

Block RAM and multipliers have interconnects between them that permit simultaneous operation; however, since the
multiplier shares inputs with the upper data bits of block RAM, the maximum data path width of the block RAM is 18 bits in
this case.

The Internal Structure of the Block RAM

The block RAM has a dual port structure. The two identical data ports called A and B permit independent access to the
common RAM block, which has a maximum capacity of 18,432 bits—or 16,384 bits when no parity lines are used. Each port
has its own dedicated set of data, control and clock lines for synchronous read and write operations. There are four basic
data paths, as shown in Figure 13: (1) write to and read from Port A, (2) write to and read from Port B, (3) data transfer from
Port A to Port B, and (4) data transfer from Port B to Port A.

Description Signal Name Signal Name
Address Bus ADDRA ADDRB Input The Address Bus selects a memory location for read or write
operations. The width (w) of the port’s associated data path determines
the number of available address lines (r).
Whenever a port is enabled (ENA or ENB = High), address transitions
must meet the data sheet setup and hold times with respect to the port
clock (CLKA or CLKB). This requirement must be met, even if the RAM
read output is of no interest.
Data Input Bus DIA DIB Input Data at the DI input bus is written to the addressed memory location
addressed on an enabled active CLK edge.
It is possible to configure a port’s total data path width (w) to be 1, 2, 4,
9, 18, or 36 bits. This selection applies to both the DI and DO paths of
a given port. Each port is independent. For a port assigned a width (w),
the number of addressable locations is 16,384/(w-p) where "p" is the
number of parity bits. Each memory location has a width of "w"
(including parity bits). See the DIP signal description for more
information of parity.
Parity Data DIPA DIPB Input Parity inputs represent additional bits included in the data input path to
Input(s) support error detection. The number of parity bits "p" included in the DI
(same as for the DO bus) depends on a port’s total data path width (w).
See Table 14.

Description Signal Name Signal Name
Data Output Bus DOA DOB Output Basic data access occurs whenever WE is inactive. The DO outputs
mirror the data stored in the addressed memory location.
Data access with WE asserted is also possible if one of the following two
attributes is chosen: WRITE_FIRST and READ_FIRST. WRITE_FIRST
simultaneously presents the new input data on the DO output port and
writes the data to the address RAM location. READ_FIRST presents the
previously stored RAM data on the DO output port while writing new
data to RAM.
A third attribute, NO_CHANGE, latches the DO outputs upon the
assertion of WE.
It is possible to configure a port’s total data path width (w) to be 1, 2, 4,
9, 18, or 36 bits. This selection applies to both the DI and DO paths. See
the DI signal description.
Parity Data DOPA DOPB Output Parity inputs represent additional bits included in the data input path to
Output(s) support error detection. The number of parity bits "p" included in the DI
(same as for the DO bus) depends on a port’s total data path width (w).
See Table 14.
Write Enable WEA WEB Input When asserted together with EN, this input enables the writing of data
to the RAM. In this case, the data access attributes WRITE_FIRST,
READ_FIRST or NO_CHANGE determines if and how data is updated
on the DO outputs. See the DO signal description.
When WE is inactive with EN asserted, read operations are still
possible. In this case, a transparent latch passes data from the
addressed memory location to the DO outputs.
Clock Enable ENA ENB Input When asserted, this input enables the CLK signal to synchronize Block
RAM functions as follows: the writing of data to the DI inputs (when WE
is also asserted), the updating of data at the DO outputs as well as the
setting/resetting of the DO output latches.
When de-asserted, the above functions are disabled.
Set/Reset SSRA SSRB Input When asserted, this pin forces the DO output latch to the value that the
SRVAL attribute is set to. A Set/Reset operation on one port has no
effect on the other ports functioning, nor does it disturb the memory’s
data contents. It is synchronized to the CLK signal.
Clock CLKA CLKB Input This input accepts the clock signal to which read and write operations
are synchronized. All associated port inputs are required to meet setup
times with respect to the clock signal’s active edge. The data output bus
responds after a clock-to-out delay referenced to the clock signal’s
active edge.

Port Aspect Ratios

On a given port, it is possible to select a number of different possible widths (w – p) for the DI/DO buses as shown in
Table 14. These two buses always have the same width. This data bus width selection is independent for each port. If the
data bus width of Port A differs from that of Port B, the Block RAM automatically performs a bus-matching function. When
data are written to a port with a narrow bus, then read from a port with a wide bus, the latter port will effectively combine
“narrow” words to form “wide” words. Similarly, when data are written into a port with a wide bus, then read from a port with
a narrow bus, the latter port will divide “wide” words to form “narrow” words. When the data bus width is eight bits or greater,
extra parity bits become available. The width of the total data path (w) is the sum of the DI/DO bus width and any parity bits
(p).
The width selection made for the DI/DO bus determines the number of address lines according to the relationship expressed
below:
r = 14 – [log(w–p)/log(2)] Equation 1
In turn, the number of address lines delimits the total number (n) of addressable locations or depth according to the following
equation:
n = 2r Equation 2

DS099 (v3.1) June 27, 2013 www.xilinx.com

Product Specification 28
 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

The product of w and n yields the total block RAM capacity. Equation 1 and Equation 2 show that as the data bus width
increases, the number of address lines along with the number of addressable memory locations decreases. Using the
permissible DI/DO bus widths as inputs to these equations provides the bus width and memory capacity measures shown
in Table 14.

Block RAM Data Operations

Writing data to and accessing data from the block RAM are synchronous operations that take place independently on each
of the two ports.
The waveforms for the write operation are shown in the top half of the Figure 15, Figure 16, and Figure 17. When the WE
and EN signals enable the active edge of CLK, data at the DI input bus is written to the block RAM location addressed by the
ADDR lines.
There are a number of different conditions under which data can be accessed at the DO outputs. Basic data access always
occurs when the WE input is inactive. Under this condition, data stored in the memory location addressed by the ADDR lines
passes through a transparent output latch to the DO outputs. The timing for basic data access is shown in the portions of
Figure 15, Figure 16, and Figure 17 during which WE is Low.

Data can also be accessed on the DO outputs when asserting the WE input. This is accomplished using two different
attributes:
Choosing the WRITE_FIRST attribute, data is written to the addressed memory location on an enabled active CLK edge and
is also passed to the DO outputs. WRITE_FIRST timing is shown in the portion of Figure 15 during which WE is High.
Choosing the READ_FIRST attribute, data already stored in the addressed location pass to the DO outputs before that
location is overwritten with new data from the DI inputs on an enabled active CLK edge. READ_FIRST timing is shown in the
portion of Figure 16 during which WE is High.

Dedicated Multipliers
All Spartan-3 devices provide embedded multipliers that accept two 18-bit words as inputs to produce a 36-bit product. This
section provides an introduction to multipliers. For further details, refer to the chapter entitled “Using Embedded Multipliers”
in UG331.
The input buses to the multiplier accept data in two’s-complement form (either 18-bit signed or 17-bit unsigned). One such
multiplier is matched to each block RAM on the die. The close physical proximity of the two ensures efficient data handling.
Cascading multipliers permits multiplicands more than three in number as well as wider than 18-bits. The multiplier is placed
in a design using one of two primitives: an asynchronous version called MULT18X18 and a version with a register called
MULT18X18S, as shown in Figure 18. The signals for these primitives are defined in Table 15.
The CORE Generator system produces multipliers based on these primitives that can be configured to suit a wide range of
requirements.

Digital Clock Manager (DCM)

Spartan-3 devices provide flexible, complete control over clock frequency, phase shift and skew through the use of the DCM
feature. To accomplish this, the DCM employs a Delay-Locked Loop (DLL), a fully digital control system that uses feedback
to maintain clock signal characteristics with a high degree of precision despite normal variations in operating temperature
and voltage. This section provides a fundamental description of the DCM. For further information, refer to the chapter
entitled “Using Digital Clock Managers” in UG331.
Each member of the Spartan-3 family has four DCMs, except the smallest, the XC3S50, which has two DCMs. The DCMs
are located at the ends of the outermost Block RAM column(s). See Figure 1, page 3. The Digital Clock Manager is placed
in a design as the “DCM” primitive.
The DCM supports three major functions:
• Clock-skew Elimination: Clock skew describes the extent to which clock signals may, under normal circumstances,
deviate from zero-phase alignment. It occurs when slight differences in path delays cause the clock signal to arrive at
different points on the die at different times. This clock skew can increase set-up and hold time requirements as well as
clock-to-out time, which may be undesirable in applications operating at a high frequency, when timing is critical. The
DCM eliminates clock skew by aligning the output clock signal it generates with another version of the clock signal that
is fed back. As a result, the two clock signals establish a zero-phase relationship. This effectively cancels out clock
distribution delays that may lie in the signal path leading from the clock output of the DCM to its feedback input.
• Frequency Synthesis: Provided with an input clock signal, the DCM can generate a wide range of different output
clock frequencies. This is accomplished by either multiplying and/or dividing the frequency of the input clock signal by
any of several different factors.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

• Phase Shifting: The DCM provides the ability to shift the phase of all its output clock signals with respect to its input
clock signal.
The DCM has four functional components: the Delay-Locked Loop (DLL), the Digital Frequency Synthesizer (DFS), the
Phase Shifter (PS), and the Status Logic. Each component has its associated signals, as shown in Figure 19.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

The DLL component has two clock inputs, CLKIN and CLKFB, as well as seven clock outputs, CLK0, CLK90, CLK180,
CLK270, CLK2X, CLK2X180, and CLKDV as described in Table 16. The clock outputs drive simultaneously; however, the
High Frequency mode only supports a subset of the outputs available in the Low Frequency mode. See DLL Frequency
Modes, page 35. Signals that initialize and report the state of the DLL are discussed in The Status Logic Component,
page 41.

The clock signal supplied to the CLKIN input serves as a reference waveform, with which the DLL seeks to align the
feedback signal at the CLKFB input. When eliminating clock skew, the common approach to using the DLL is as follows: The
CLK0 signal is passed through the clock distribution network to all the registers it synchronizes. These registers are either
internal or external to the FPGA. After passing through the clock distribution network, the clock signal returns to the DLL via
a feedback line called CLKFB. The control block inside the DLL measures the phase error between CLKFB and CLKIN. This
phase error is a measure of the clock skew that the clock distribution network introduces. The control block activates the
appropriate number of delay elements to cancel out the clock skew. Once the DLL has brought the CLK0 signal in phase with
the CLKIN signal, it asserts the LOCKED output, indicating a “lock” on to the CLKIN signal.

DLL Attributes and Related Functions

A number of different functional options can be set for the DLL component through the use of the attributes described in
Table 17. Each attribute is described in detail in the sections that follow:

DLL Clock Input Connections

An external clock source enters the FPGA using a Global Clock Input Buffer (IBUFG), which directly accesses the global
clock network or an Input Buffer (IBUF). Clock signals within the FPGA drive a global clock net using a Global Clock
Multiplexer Buffer (BUFGMUX). The global clock net connects directly to the CLKIN input. The internal and external
connections are shown in the [a] and [c] sections, respectively, of Figure 21. A differential clock (e.g., LVDS) can serve as an
input to CLKIN.

DLL Clock Output and Feedback Connections

As many as four of the nine DCM clock outputs can simultaneously drive the four BUFGMUX buffers on the same die edge
(top or bottom). All DCM clock outputs can simultaneously drive general routing resources, including interconnect leading to
OBUF buffers.
The feedback loop is essential for DLL operation and is established by driving the CLKFB input with either the CLK0 or the
CLK2X signal so that any undesirable clock distribution delay is included in the loop. It is possible to use either of these two
signals for synchronizing any of the seven DLL outputs: CLK0, CLK90, CLK180, CLK270, CLKDV, CLK2X, or CLK2X180.
The value assigned to the CLK_FEEDBACK attribute must agree with the physical feedback connection: a value of 1X for
the CLK0 case, 2X for the CLK2X case. If the DCM is used in an application that does not require the DLL—i.e., only the
DFS is used—then there is no feedback loop so CLK_FEEDBACK is set to NONE.
CLK2X feedback is only supported on all mask revision ‘E’ and later devices (see Mask and Fab Revisions, page 58), on
devices with the "GQ" fabrication code, and on all versions of the XC3S50 and XC3S1000.
There are two basic cases that determine how to connect the DLL clock outputs and feedback connections: on-chip
synchronization and off-chip synchronization, which are illustrated in Figure 21.

Figure 21: Input Clock, Output Clock, and Feedback Connections for the DLL

In the on-chip synchronization case (the [a] and [b] sections of Figure 21), it is possible to connect any of the DLL’s seven
output clock signals through general routing resources to the FPGA’s internal registers. Either a Global Clock Buffer (BUFG)
or a BUFGMUX affords access to the global clock network. As shown in the [a] section of Figure 21, the feedback loop is
created by routing CLK0 (or CLK2X, in the [b] section) to a global clock net, which in turn drives the CLKFB input.
In the off-chip synchronization case (the [c] and [d] sections of Figure 21), CLK0 (or CLK2X) plus any of the DLL’s other
output clock signals exit the FPGA using output buffers (OBUF) to drive an external clock network plus registers on the
board. As shown in the [c] section of Figure 21, the feedback loop is formed by feeding CLK0 (or CLK2X, in the [d] section)
back into the FPGA using an IBUFG, which directly accesses the global clock network, or an IBUF. Then, the global clock net
is connected directly to the CLKFB input.

DLL Frequency Modes

The DLL supports two distinct operating modes, High Frequency and Low Frequency, with each specified over a different
clock frequency range. The DLL_FREQUENCY_MODE attribute chooses between the two modes. When the attribute is set
to LOW, the Low Frequency mode permits all seven DLL clock outputs to operate over a low-to-moderate frequency range.
When the attribute is set to HIGH, the High Frequency mode allows the CLK0, CLK180 and CLKDV outputs to operate at the
highest possible frequencies. The remaining DLL clock outputs are not available for use in High Frequency mode.

Accommodating High Input Frequencies

If the frequency of the CLKIN signal is high such that it exceeds the maximum permitted, divide it down to an acceptable
value using the CLKIN_DIVIDE_BY_2 attribute. When this attribute is set to TRUE, the CLKIN frequency is divided by a
factor of two just as it enters the DCM.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

Coarse Phase Shift Outputs of the DLL Component

In addition to CLK0 for zero-phase alignment to the CLKIN signal, the DLL also provides the CLK90, CLK180 and CLK270
outputs for 90°, 180° and 270° phase-shifted signals, respectively. These signals are described in Table 16, page 33. Their
relative timing in the Low Frequency Mode is shown in Figure 22, page 37. The CLK90, CLK180 and CLK270 outputs are
not available when operating in the High Frequency mode. (See the description of the DLL_FREQUENCY_MODE attribute
in Table 17, page 33.) For control in finer increments than 90°, see Phase Shifter (PS), page 39.

Basic Frequency Synthesis Outputs of the DLL Component

The DLL component provides basic options for frequency multiplication and division in addition to the more flexible synthesis
capability of the DFS component, described in a later section. These operations result in output clock signals with
frequencies that are either a fraction (for division) or a multiple (for multiplication) of the incoming clock frequency. The
CLK2X output produces an in-phase signal that is twice the frequency of CLKIN. The CLK2X180 output also doubles the
frequency, but is 180° out-of-phase with respect to CLKIN. The CLKDIV output generates a clock frequency that is a
predetermined fraction of the CLKIN frequency. The CLKDV_DIVIDE attribute determines the factor used to divide the
CLKIN frequency. The attribute can be set to various values as described in Table 17. The basic frequency synthesis outputs
are described in Table 16. Their relative timing in the Low Frequency Mode is shown in Figure 22.
The CLK2X and CLK2X180 outputs are not available when operating in the High Frequency mode. See the description of
the DLL_FREQUENCY_MODE attribute in Table 18.

Duty Cycle Correction of DLL Clock Outputs

The CLK2X(1), CLK2X180, and CLKDV(2) output signals ordinarily exhibit a 50% duty cycle—even if the incoming CLKIN
signal has a different duty cycle. A 50% duty cycle means that the High and Low times of each clock cycle are equal. The
DUTY_CYCLE_CORRECTION attribute determines whether or not duty cycle correction is applied to the CLK0, CLK90,
CLK180 and CLK270 outputs. If DUTY_CYCLE_CORRECTION is set to TRUE, then the duty cycle of these four outputs is
corrected to 50%. If DUTY_CYCLE_CORRECTION is set to FALSE, then these outputs exhibit the same duty cycle as the
CLKIN signal. Figure 22 compares the characteristics of the DLL’s output signals to those of the CLKIN signal.

1. The CLK2X output generates a 25% duty cycle clock at the same frequency as the CLKIN signal until the DLL has achieved lock.
2. The duty cycle of the CLKDV outputs may differ somewhat from 50% (i.e., the signal will be High for less than 50% of the period) when the
CLKDV_DIVIDE attribute is set to a non-integer value and the DLL is operating in the High Frequency mode.

Figure 22: Characteristics of the DLL Clock Outputs

Digital Frequency Synthesizer (DFS)

The DFS component generates clock signals the frequency of which is a product of the clock frequency at the CLKIN input
and a ratio of two user-determined integers. Because of the wide range of possible output frequencies such a ratio permits,
the DFS feature provides still further flexibility than the DLL’s basic synthesis options as described in the preceding section.
The DFS component’s two dedicated outputs, CLKFX and CLKFX180, are defined in Table 19.
The signal at the CLKFX180 output is essentially an inversion of the CLKFX signal. These two outputs always exhibit a 50%
duty cycle. This is true even when the CLKIN signal does not. These DFS clock outputs are driven at the same time as the
DLL’s seven clock outputs.
The numerator of the ratio is the integer value assigned to the attribute CLKFX_MULTIPLY and the denominator is the
integer value assigned to the attribute CLKFX_DIVIDE. These attributes are described in Table 18.

DS099 (v3.1) June 27, 2013 www.xilinx.com

Product Specification 37
 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

The output frequency (fCLKFX) can be expressed as a function of the incoming clock frequency (fCLKIN) as follows:
fCLKFX = fCLKIN(CLKFX_MULTIPLY/CLKFX_DIVIDE) Equation 3
Regarding the two attributes, it is possible to assign any combination of integer values, provided that two conditions are met:
• The two values fall within their corresponding ranges, as specified in Table 18.
• The fCLKFX frequency calculated from the above expression accords with the DCM’s operating frequency
specifications.
For example, if CLKFX_MULTIPLY = 5 and CLKFX_DIVIDE = 3, then the frequency of the output clock signal would be 5/3
that of the input clock signal.

DFS Frequency Modes

The DFS supports two operating modes, High Frequency and Low Frequency, with each specified over a different clock
frequency range. The DFS_FREQUENCY_MODE attribute chooses between the two modes. When the attribute is set to
LOW, the Low Frequency mode permits the two DFS outputs to operate over a low-to-moderate frequency range. When the
attribute is set to HIGH, the High Frequency mode allows both these outputs to operate at the highest possible frequencies.

DFS With or Without the DLL

The DFS component can be used with or without the DLL component:
Without the DLL, the DFS component multiplies or divides the CLKIN signal frequency according to the respective
CLKFX_MULTIPLY and CLKFX_DIVIDE values, generating a clock with the new target frequency on the CLKFX and
CLKFX180 outputs. Though classified as belonging to the DLL component, the CLKIN input is shared with the DFS
component. This case does not employ feedback loop; therefore, it cannot correct for clock distribution delay.
With the DLL, the DFS operates as described in the preceding case, only with the additional benefit of eliminating the clock
distribution delay. In this case, a feedback loop from the CLK0 output to the CLKFB input must be present.
The DLL and DFS components work together to achieve this phase correction as follows: Given values for the
CLKFX_MULTIPLY and CLKFX_DIVIDE attributes, the DLL selects the delay element for which the output clock edge
coincides with the input clock edge whenever mathematically possible. For example, when CLKFX_MULTIPLY = 5 and
CLKFX_DIVIDE = 3, the input and output clock edges will coincide every three input periods, which is equivalent in time to
five output periods.
Smaller CLKFX_MULTIPLY and CLKFX_DIVIDE values achieve faster lock times. With no factors common to the two
attributes, alignment will occur once with every number of cycles equal to the CLKFX_DIVIDE value. Therefore, it is
recommended that the user reduce these values by factoring wherever possible. For example, given CLKFX_MULTIPLY = 9
and CLKFX_DIVIDE = 6, removing a factor of three yields CLKFX_MULTIPLY = 3 and CLKFX_DIVIDE = 2. While both
value-pairs will result in the multiplication of clock frequency by 3/2, the latter value-pair will enable the DLL to lock more
quickly.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

DFS Clock Output Connections

There are two basic cases that determine how to connect the DFS clock outputs: on-chip and off-chip, which are illustrated
in sections [a] and [c], respectively, of Figure 21. This is similar to what has already been described for the DLL component.
See DLL Clock Output and Feedback Connections, page 34.
In the on-chip case, it is possible to connect either of the DFS’s two output clock signals through general routing resources
to the FPGA’s internal registers. Either a Global Clock Buffer (BUFG) or a BUFGMUX affords access to the global clock
network. The optional feedback loop is formed in this way, routing CLK0 to a global clock net, which in turn drives the CLKFB
input.
In the off-chip case, the DFS’s two output clock signals, plus CLK0 for an optional feedback loop, can exit the FPGA using
output buffers (OBUF) to drive a clock network plus registers on the board. The feedback loop is formed by feeding the CLK0
signal back into the FPGA using an IBUFG, which directly accesses the global clock network, or an IBUF. Then, the global
clock net is connected directly to the CLKFB input.

Phase Shifter (PS)

The DCM provides two approaches to controlling the phase of a DCM clock output signal relative to the CLKIN signal: First,
there are nine clock outputs that employ the DLL to achieve a desired phase relationship: CLK0, CLK90, CLK180, CLK270,
CLK2X, CLK2X180, CLKDV CLKFX, and CLKFX180. These outputs afford “coarse” phase control.
The second approach uses the PS component described in this section to provide a still finer degree of control. The PS
component is only available when the DLL is operating in its low-frequency mode. The PS component phase shifts the DCM
output clocks by introducing a "fine phase shift" (TPS) between the CLKFB and CLKIN signals inside the DLL component.
The user can control this fine phase shift down to a resolution of 1/256 of a CLKIN cycle or one tap delay (DCM_TAP),
whichever is greater. When in use, the PS component shifts the phase of all nine DCM clock output signals together. If the
PS component is used together with a DCM clock output such as the CLK90, CLK180, CLK270, CLK2X180 and CLKFX180,
then the fine phase shift of the former gets added to the coarse phase shift of the latter.

PS Component Enabling and Mode Selection

The CLKOUT_PHASE_SHIFT attribute enables the PS component for use in addition to selecting between two operating
modes. As described in Table 20, this attribute has three possible values: NONE, FIXED and VARIABLE. When
CLKOUT_PHASE_SHIFT is set to NONE, the PS component is disabled and its inputs, PSEN, PSCLK, and PSINCDEC,
must be tied to GND. The set of waveforms in section [a] of Figure 22 shows the disabled case, where the DLL maintains a
zero-phase alignment of signals CLKFB and CLKIN upon which the PS component has no effect. The PS component is
enabled by setting the attribute to either the FIXED or VARIABLE values, which select the Fixed Phase mode and the
Variable Phase mode, respectively. These two modes are described in the sections that follow

Determining the Fine Phase Shift

The user controls the phase shift of CLKFB relative to CLKIN by setting and/or adjusting the value of the PHASE_SHIFT
attribute. This value must be an integer ranging from –255 to +255. The PS component uses this value to calculate the
desired fine phase shift (TPS) as a fraction of the CLKIN period (TCLKIN). Given values for PHASE-SHIFT and TCLKIN, it is
possible to calculate TPS as follows:
TPS = TCLKIN(PHASE_SHIFT/256) Equation 4
Both the Fixed Phase and Variable Phase operating modes employ this calculation. If the PHASE_SHIFT value is zero, then
CLKFB and CLKIN will be in phase, the same as when the PS component is disabled. When the PHASE_SHIFT value is
positive, the CLKFB signal will be shifted later in time with respect to CLKIN. If the attribute value is negative, the CLKFB
signal will be shifted earlier in time with respect to CLKIN.

The Fixed Phase Mode

This mode fixes the desired fine phase shift to a fraction of the TCLKIN, as determined by Equation 4 and its user-selected
PHASE_SHIFT value P. The set of waveforms insection [b] of Figure 22 illustrates the relationship between CLKFB and
CLKIN in the Fixed Phase mode. In the Fixed Phase mode, the PSEN, PSCLK and PSINCDEC inputs are not used and
must be tied to GND. Fixed phase shift requires ISE software version 10.1.03 or later.

Notes:
1. The practical range of values will be less when TCLKIN > FINE_SHIFT_RANGE in the Fixed Phase mode, also when TCLKIN >
(FINE_SHIFT_RANGE)/2 in the Variable Phase mode. the FINE_SHIFT_RANGE represents the sum total delay of all taps.

The Variable Phase Mode

The “Variable Phase” mode dynamically adjusts the fine phase shift over time using three inputs to the PS component,
namely PSEN, PSCLK and PSINCDEC, as defined in Table 21.
After device configuration, the PS component initially determines TPS by evaluating Equation (4) for the value assigned to
the PHASE_SHIFT attribute. Then to dynamically adjust that phase shift, use the three PS inputs to increase or decrease
the fine phase shift.
PSINCDEC is synchronized to the PSCLK clock signal, which is enabled by asserting PSEN. It is possible to drive the
PSCLK input with the CLKIN signal or any other clock signal. A request for phase adjustment is entered as follows: For each
PSCLK cycle that PSINCDEC is High, the PS component adds 1/256 of a CLKIN cycle to TPS. Similarly, for each enabled
PSCLK cycle that PSINCDEC is Low, the PS component subtracts 1/256 of a CLKIN cycle from TPS. The phase adjustment
may require as many as 100 CLKIN cycles plus three PSCLK cycles to take effect, at which point the output PSDONE goes
High for one PSCLK cycle. This pulse indicates that the PS component has finished the present adjustment and is now
ready for the next request. Asserting the Reset (RST) input, returns TPS to its original shift time, as determined by the
PHASE_SHIFT attribute value. The set of waveforms in section [c] of Figure 23, page 41 illustrates the relationship between
CLKFB and CLKIN in the Variable Phase mode.

The Status Logic Component

The Status Logic component not only reports on the state of the DCM but also provides a means of resetting the DCM to an
initial known state. The signals associated with the Status Logic component are described in Table 22.
As a rule, the Reset (RST) input is asserted only upon configuring the device or changing the CLKIN frequency. A DCM reset
does not affect attribute values (e.g., CLKFX_MULTIPLY and CLKFX_DIVIDE). If not used, RST must be tied to GND.
The eight bits of the STATUS bus are defined in Table 23.

Notes:
1. The DLL phase shift with all delay taps active is specified as the parameter FINE_SHIFT_RANGE.
2. If only the DFS clock outputs are used, but none of the DLL clock outputs, this bit will not go High when the CLKIN signal stops.

Table 24: Status Attributes

Attribute Description Values
STARTUP_WAIT Delays transition from configuration to user mode until lock condition is achieved. TRUE, FALSE

Stabilizing DCM Clocks Before User Mode

It is possible to delay the completion of device configuration until after the DLL has achieved a lock condition using the
STARTUP_WAIT attribute described in Table 24. This option ensures that the FPGA does not enter user mode—i.e., begin
functional operation—until all system clocks generated by the DCM are stable. In order to achieve the delay, it is necessary
to set the attribute to TRUE as well as set the BitGen option LCK_cycle to one of the six cycles making up the Startup phase
of configuration. The selected cycle defines the point at which configuration will halt until the LOCKED output goes High.

Global Clock Network

Spartan-3 devices have eight Global Clock inputs called GCLK0 - GCLK7. These inputs provide access to a
low-capacitance, low-skew network that is well-suited to carrying high-frequency signals. The Spartan-3 FPGAs clock
network is shown in Figure 23. GCLK0 through GCLK3 are located in the center of the bottom edge. GCLK4 through GCLK7
are located in the center of the top edge.
Eight Global Clock Multiplexers (also called BUFGMUX elements) are provided that accept signals from Global Clock inputs
and route them to the internal clock network as well as DCMs. Four BUFGMUX elements are located in the center of the
bottom edge, just above the GCLK0 - GCLK3 inputs. The remaining four BUFGMUX elements are located in the center of
the top edge, just below the GCLK4 - GCLK7 inputs.
Pairs of BUFGMUX elements share global inputs, as shown in Figure 24. For example, the GCLK4 and GCLK5 inputs both
potentially connect to BUFGMUX4 and BUFGMUX5 located in the upper right center. A differential clock input uses a pair of
GCLK inputs to connect to a single BUFGMUX element.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

Each BUFGMUX element, shown in Figure 24, is a 2-to-1 multiplexer that can receive signals from any of the four following
sources:
• One of the four Global Clock inputs on the same side of the die—top or bottom—as the BUFGMUX element in use.
• Any of four nearby horizontal Double lines.
• Any of four outputs from the DCM in the right-hand quadrant that is on the same side of the die as the BUFGMUX
element in use.
• Any of four outputs from the DCM in the left-hand quadrant that is on the same side of the die as the BUFGMUX
element in use.
The multiplexer select line, S, chooses which of the two inputs, I0 or I1, drives the BUFGMUX’s output signal, O, as
described in Table 25. The switching from one clock to the other is glitchless, and done in such a way that the output High
and Low times are never shorter than the shortest High or Low time of either input clock.

Table 25: BUFGMUX Select Mechanism

S Input O Output
0 I0 Input
1 I1 Input

The two clock inputs can be asynchronous with regard to each other, and the S input can change at any time, except for a
short setup time prior to the rising edge of the presently selected clock (I0 or I1). Violating this setup time requirement can
result in an undefined runt pulse output.
The BUFG clock buffer primitive drives a single clock signal onto the clock network and is essentially the same element as
a BUFGMUX, just without the clock select mechanism. Similarly, the BUFGCE primitive creates an enabled clock buffer
using the BUFGMUX select mechanism.
Each BUFGMUX buffers incoming clock signals to two possible destinations:
• The vertical spine belonging to the same side of the die—top or bottom—as the BUFGMUX element in use. The two
spines—top and bottom—each comprise four vertical clock lines, each running from one of the BUFGMUX elements
on the same side towards the center of the die. At the center of the die, clock signals reach the eight-line horizontal
spine, which spans the width of the die. In turn, the horizontal spine branches out into a subsidiary clock interconnect
that accesses the CLBs.
• The clock input of either DCM on the same side of the die—top or bottom—as the BUFGMUX element in use.
Use either a BUFGMUX element or a BUFG (Global Clock Buffer) element to place a Global input in the design. For the
purpose of minimizing the dynamic power dissipation of the clock network, the Xilinx development software automatically
disables all clock line segments that a design does not use.
A global clock line ideally drives clock inputs on the various clocked elements within the FPGA, such as CLB or IOB flip-flops
or block RAMs. A global clock line also optionally drives combinatorial inputs. However, doing so provides additional loading
on the clock line that might also affect clock jitter. Ideally, drive combinatorial inputs using the signal that also drives the input
to the BUFGMUX or BUFG element.
For more details, refer to the chapter entitled “Using Global Clock Resources” in UG331.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

Interconnect
Interconnect (or routing) passes signals among the various functional elements of Spartan-3 devices. There are four kinds
of interconnect: Long lines, Hex lines, Double lines, and Direct lines.
Long lines connect to one out of every six CLBs (see section [a] of Figure 25). Because of their low capacitance, these lines
are well-suited for carrying high-frequency signals with minimal loading effects (e.g. skew). If all eight Global Clock Inputs
are already committed and there remain additional clock signals to be assigned, Long lines serve as a good alternative.
Hex lines connect one out of every three CLBs (see section [b] of Figure 25). These lines fall between Long lines and Double
lines in terms of capability: Hex lines approach the high-frequency characteristics of Long lines at the same time, offering
greater connectivity.
Double lines connect to every other CLB (see section [c] of Figure 25). Compared to the types of lines already discussed,
Double lines provide a higher degree of flexibility when making connections.
Direct lines afford any CLB direct access to neighboring CLBs (see section [d] of Figure 25). These lines are most often used
to conduct a signal from a "source" CLB to a Double, Hex, or Long line and then from the longer interconnect back to a Direct
line accessing a "destination" CLB.
For more details, refer to the “Using Interconnect” chapter in UG331.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

Configuration
Spartan-3 devices are configured by loading application specific configuration data into the internal configuration memory.
Configuration is carried out using a subset of the device pins, some of which are "Dedicated" to one function only, while
others, indicated by the term "Dual-Purpose", can be re-used as general-purpose User I/Os once configuration is complete.
Depending on the system design, several configuration modes are supported, selectable via mode pins. The mode pins M0,
M1, and M2 are Dedicated pins. The mode pin settings are shown in Table 26.

Table 26: Spartan-3 FPGAs Configuration Mode Pin Settings

Configuration Mode (1) M0 M1 M2 Synchronizing Clock Data Width Serial DOUT (2)
Master Serial 0 0 0 CCLK Output 1 Yes
Slave Serial 1 1 1 CCLK Input 1 Yes
Master Parallel 1 1 0 CCLK Output 8 No
Slave Parallel 0 1 1 CCLK Input 8 No
JTAG 1 0 1 TCK Input 1 No

Notes:
1. The voltage levels on the M0, M1, and M2 pins select the configuration mode.
2. The daisy chain is possible only in the Serial modes when DOUT is used.

The HSWAP_EN input pin defines whether the I/O pins that are not actively used during configuration have pull-up resistors
during configuration. By default, HSWAP_EN is tied High (via an internal pull-up resistor if left floating) which shuts off the
pull-up resistors on the user I/O pins during configuration. When HSWAP_EN is tied Low, user I/Os have pull-ups during
configuration. The Dedicated configuration pins (CCLK, DONE, PROG_B, M2, M1, M0, HSWAP_EN) and the JTAG pins
(TDI, TMS, TCK, and TDO) always have a pull-up resistor to VCCAUX during configuration, regardless of the value on the
HSWAP_EN pin. Similarly, the dual-purpose INIT_B pin has an internal pull-up resistor to VCCO_4 or VCCO_BOTTOM,
depending on the package style.
Depending on the chosen configuration mode, the FPGA either generates a CCLK output, or CCLK is an input accepting an
externally generated clock.
A persist option is available which can be used to force the configuration pins to retain their configuration function even after
device configuration is complete. If the persist option is not selected then the configuration pins with the exception of CCLK,
PROG_B, and DONE can be used as user I/O in normal operation. The persist option does not apply to the boundary-scan
related pins. The persist feature is valuable in applications that readback configuration data after entering the User mode.
Table 27 lists the total number of bits required to configure each FPGA as well as the PROMs suitable for storing those bits.
See DS123: Platform Flash In-System Programmable Configuration PROMs data sheet for more information.

The maximum bitstream length that Spartan-3 FPGAs support in serial daisy-chains is 4,294,967,264 bits (4 Gbits), roughly
equivalent to a daisy-chain with 323 XC3S5000 FPGAs. This is a limit only for serial daisy-chains where configuration data
is passed via the FPGA’s DOUT pin. There is no such limit for JTAG chains.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

The Standard Configuration Interface

Configuration signals belong to one of two different categories: Dedicated or Dual-Purpose. Which category determines
which of the FPGA’s power rails supplies the signal’s driver and, thus, helps describe the electrical characteristics at the pin.
The Dedicated configuration pins include PROG_B, HSWAP_EN, TDI, TMS, TCK, TDO, CCLK, DONE, and M0-M2. These
pins are powered by the VCCAUX supply.
The Dual-Purpose configuration pins comprise INIT_B, DOUT, BUSY, RDWR_B, CS_B, and DIN/D0-D7. Each of these pins,
according to its bank placement, uses the VCCO lines for either Bank 4 (VCCO_4 on most packages, VCCO_BOTTOM on
TQ144 and CP132 packages) or Bank 5 (VCCO_5). All the signals used in the serial configuration modes rely on VCCO_4
power. Signals used in the parallel configuration modes and Readback require from VCCO_5 as well as from VCCO_4.
Both the Dedicated signals described above and the Dual-Purpose signals constitute the configuration interface. The
Dedicated pins, powered by the 2.5V VCCAUX supply, always use the LVCMOS25 I/O standard. The Dual-Purpose signals,
however, are powered by the VCCO_4 supply and also by the VCCO_5 supply in the Parallel configuration modes. The
simplest configuration interface uses 2.5V for VCCO_4 and VCCO_5, if required. However, VCCO_4 and, if needed,
VCCO_5 can be voltages other than 2.5V but then the configuration interface will have two voltage levels: 2.5V for VCCAUX
and a separate VCCO supply. The Dual-Purpose signals default to the LVCMOS input and output levels for the associated
VCCO voltage supply.

3.3V-Tolerant Configuration Interface

A 3.3V-tolerant configuration interface simply requires adding a few external resistors as described in detail in XAPP453:
The 3.3V Configuration of Spartan-3 FPGAs.
The 3.3V-tolerance is implemented as follows (a similar approach can be used for other supply voltage levels):
Apply 3.3V to VCCO_4 and, in some configuration modes, to VCCO_5 to power the Dual-Purpose configuration pins. This
scales the output voltages and input thresholds associated with these pins so that they become 3.3V-compatible.
Apply 2.5V to VCCAUX to power the Dedicated configuration pins. For 3.3V-tolerance, the Dedicated inputs require series
resistors to limit the incoming current to 10 mA or less. The Dedicated outputs have reduced noise margin when the FPGA
drives a High logic level into another device’s 3.3V receiver. Choose a power regulator or supply that can tolerate reverse
current on the VCCAUX lines.

Configuration Modes
Spartan-3 FPGAs support the following five configuration modes:
• Slave Serial mode
• Master Serial mode
• Slave Parallel (SelectMAP) mode
• Master Parallel (SelectMAP) mode
• Boundary-Scan (JTAG) mode (IEEE 1532/IEEE 1149.1)

Slave Serial Mode

In Slave Serial mode, the FPGA receives configuration data in bit-serial form from a serial PROM or other serial source of
configuration data. The FPGA on the far right of Figure 26 is set for the Slave Serial mode. The CCLK pin on the FPGA is
an input in this mode. The serial bitstream must be set up at the DIN input pin a short time before each rising edge of the
externally generated CCLK.
Multiple FPGAs can be daisy-chained for configuration from a single source. After a particular FPGA has been configured,
the data for the next device is routed internally to the DOUT pin. The data on the DOUT pin changes on the falling edge of
CCLK.

Notes:
1. There are two ways to use the DONE line. First, one may set the BitGen option DriveDone to "Yes" only for the last
FPGA to be configured in the chain shown above (or for the single FPGA as may be the case). This enables the DONE
pin to drive High; thus, no pull-up resistor is necessary. DriveDone is set to "No" for the remaining FPGAs in the chain.
Second, DriveDone can be set to "No" for all FPGAs. Then all DONE lines are open-drain and require the pull-up
resistor shown in grey. In most cases, a value between 3.3KΩ to 4.7KΩ is sufficient. However, when using DONE
synchronously with a long chain of FPGAs, cumulative capacitance may necessitate lower resistor values (e.g. down
to 330Ω) in order to ensure a rise time within one clock cycle.
2. For information on how to program the FPGA using 3.3V signals and power, see 3.3V-Tolerant Configuration Interface.

Figure 26: Connection Diagram for Master and Slave Serial Configuration

Slave Serial mode is selected by applying <111> to the mode pins (M0, M1, and M2). A pull-up on the mode pins makes
slave serial the default mode if the pins are left unconnected.

Master Serial Mode

In Master Serial mode, the FPGA drives CCLK pin, which behaves as a bidirectional I/O pin. The FPGA in the center of
Figure 26 is set for Master Serial mode and connects to the serial configuration PROM and to the CCLK inputs of any slave
FPGAs in a configuration daisy-chain. The master FPGA drives the configuration clock on the CCLK pin to the Xilinx Serial
PROM, which, in response, provides bit-serial data to the FPGA’s DIN input. The FPGA accepts this data on each rising
CCLK edge. After the master FPGA finishes configuring, it passes data on its DOUT pin to the next FPGA device in a
daisy-chain. The DOUT data appears after the falling CCLK clock edge.
The Master Serial mode interface is identical to Slave Serial except that an internal oscillator generates the configuration
clock (CCLK). A wide range of frequencies can be selected for CCLK, which always starts at a default frequency of 6 MHz.
Configuration bits then switch CCLK to a higher frequency for the remainder of the configuration.

Slave Parallel Mode (SelectMAP)

The Parallel or SelectMAP modes support the fastest configuration. Byte-wide data is written into the FPGA with a BUSY
flag controlling the flow of data. An external source provides 8-bit-wide data, CCLK, an active-Low Chip Select (CS_B) signal
and an active-Low Write signal (RDWR_B). If BUSY is asserted (High) by the FPGA, the data must be held until BUSY goes
Low. Data can also be read using the Slave Parallel mode. If RDWR_B is asserted, configuration data is read out of the
FPGA as part of a readback operation.
After configuration, it is possible to use any of the Multipurpose pins (DIN/D0-D7, DOUT/BUSY, INIT_B, CS_B, and
RDWR_B) as User I/Os. To do this, simply set the BitGen option Persist to No and assign the desired signals to multipurpose
configuration pins using the Xilinx development software. Alternatively, it is possible to continue using the configuration port

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

(e.g. all configuration pins taken together) when operating in the User mode. This is accomplished by setting the Persist
option to Yes.
Multiple FPGAs can be configured using the Slave Parallel mode and can be made to start-up simultaneously. Figure 27
shows the device connections. To configure multiple devices in this way, wire the individual CCLK, Data, RDWR_B, and
BUSY pins of all the devices in parallel. The individual devices are loaded separately by deasserting the CS_B pin of each
device in turn and writing the appropriate data.

Figure 28: Connection Diagram for Master Parallel Configuration

Master Parallel Mode

In this mode, the FPGA configures from byte-wide data, and the FPGA supplies the CCLK configuration clock. In Master
configuration modes, CCLK behaves as a bidirectional I/O pin. Timing is similar to the Slave Parallel mode except that CCLK
is supplied by the FPGA. The device connections are shown in Figure 28.

Boundary-Scan (JTAG) Mode

In Boundary-Scan mode, dedicated pins are used for configuring the FPGA. The configuration is done entirely through the
IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port (TAP). FPGA configuration using the Boundary-Scan mode is compatible with the IEEE Std
1149.1-1993 standard and IEEE Std 1532 for In-System Configurable (ISC) devices.
Configuration through the boundary-scan port is always available, regardless of the selected configuration mode. In some
cases, however, the mode pin setting may affect proper programming of the device due to various interactions. For example,
if the mode pins are set to Master Serial or Master Parallel mode, and the associated PROM is already programmed with a
valid configuration image, then there is potential for configuration interference between the JTAG and PROM data. Selecting
the Boundary-Scan mode disables the other modes and is the most reliable mode when programming via JTAG.

Configuration Sequence
The configuration of Spartan-3 devices is a three-stage process that occurs after Power-On Reset or the assertion of
PROG_B. POR occurs after the VCCINT, VCCAUX, and VCCO Bank 4 supplies have reached their respective maximum input
threshold levels (see Table 29, page 59). After POR, the three-stage process begins.
First, the configuration memory is cleared. Next, configuration data is loaded into the memory, and finally, the logic is
activated by a start-up process. A flow diagram for the configuration sequence of the Serial and Parallel modes is shown in
Figure 29. The flow diagram for the Boundary-Scan configuration sequence appears in Figure 30.

Configuration is automatically initiated after power-on unless it is delayed by the user. INIT_B is an open-drain line that the
FPGA holds Low during the clearing of the configuration memory. Extending the time that the pin is Low causes the
configuration sequencer to wait. Thus, configuration is delayed by preventing entry into the phase where data is loaded.
The configuration process can also be initiated by asserting the PROG_B pin. The end of the memory-clearing phase is
signaled by the INIT_B pin going High. At this point, the configuration data is written to the FPGA. The FPGA pulses the
Global Set/Reset (GSR) signal at the end of configuration, resetting all flip-flops. The completion of the entire process is
signaled by the DONE pin going High.

is that one CCLK cycle after DONE goes High, the Global Three-State signal (GTS) is released. This permits device outputs
to which signals have been assigned to become active. One CCLK cycle later, the Global Write Enable (GWE) signal is
released. This permits the internal storage elements to begin changing state in response to the design logic and the user
clock.
The relative timing of configuration events can be changed via the BitGen options in the Xilinx development software. In
addition, the GTS and GWE events can be made dependent on the DONE pins of multiple devices all going High, forcing the
devices to start synchronously. The sequence can also be paused at any stage, until lock has been achieved on any DCM.

Readback
Using Slave Parallel mode, configuration data from the FPGA can be read back. Readback is supported only in the Slave
Parallel and Boundary-Scan modes.
Along with the configuration data, it is possible to read back the contents of all registers, distributed RAM, and block RAM
resources. This capability is used for real-time debugging.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

Additional Configuration Details

Additional details about the Spartan-3 FPGA configuration architecture and command set are available in UG332: Spartan-3
Generation Configuration User Guide and in application note XAPP452: Spartan-3 Advanced Configuration Architecture.

Powering Spartan-3 FPGAs

Voltage Regulators
Various power supply manufacturers offer complete power solutions for Xilinx FPGAs, including some with integrated
multi-rail regulators specifically designed for Spartan-3 FPGAs. The Xilinx Power Corner web page provides links to vendor
solution guides as well as Xilinx power estimation and analysis tools.

Power Distribution System (PDS) Design and Bypass/Decoupling Capacitors

Good power distribution system (PDS) design is important for all FPGA designs, especially for high-performance
applications. Proper design results in better overall performance, lower clock and DCM jitter, and a generally more robust
system. Before designing the printed circuit board (PCB) for the FPGA design, review application note XAPP623: Power
Distribution System (PDS) Design: Using Bypass/Decoupling Capacitors.

Power-On Behavior
Spartan-3 FPGAs have a built-in Power-On Reset (POR) circuit that monitors the three power rails required to successfully
configure the FPGA. At power-up, the POR circuit holds the FPGA in a reset state until the VCCINT, VCCAUX, and VCCO Bank
4 supplies reach their respective input threshold levels (see Table 29, page 59). After all three supplies reach their respective
threshold, the POR reset is released and the FPGA begins its configuration process.
Because the three supply inputs must be valid to release the POR reset and can be supplied in any order, there are no
specific voltage sequencing requirements. However, applying the FPGA’s VCCAUX supply before the VCCINT supply uses the
least ICCINT current.
Once all three supplies are valid, the minimum current required to power-on the FPGA is equal to the worst-case quiescent
current, as specified in Table 34, page 62. Spartan-3 FPGAs do not require Power-On Surge (POS) current to successfully
configure.

Surplus ICCINT if VCCINT Applied before VCCAUX

If the VCCINT supply is applied before the VCCAUX supply, the FPGA may draw a surplus ICCINT current in addition to the
ICCINT quiescent current levels specified in Table 34. The momentary additional ICCINT surplus current might be a few
hundred milliamperes under nominal conditions, significantly less than the instantaneous current consumed by the bypass
capacitors at power-on. However, the surplus current immediately disappears when the VCCAUX supply is applied, and, in
response, the FPGA’s ICCINT quiescent current demand drops to the levels specified in Table 34. The FPGA does not use
nor does it require the surplus current to successfully power-on and configure. If applying VCCINT- before VCCAUX, ensure
that the regulator does not have a foldback feature that could inadvertently shut down in the presence of the surplus current.

Maximum Allowed VCCINT Ramp Rate on Early Devices, if VVCCINTSupply is Last in Sequence
All devices with a mask revision code ‘E’ or later do not have a VCCINT ramp rate requirement. See Mask and Fab Revisions,
page 58.
Early Spartan-3 FPGAs were produced at a 200 mm wafer production facility and are identified by a fabrication/process
code of "FQ" on the device top marking, as shown in Package Marking, page 5. These "FQ" devices have a maximum
VCCINT ramp rate requirement if and only if VCCINT is the last supply to ramp, after the VCCAUX and VCCO Bank 4 supplies.
This maximum ramp rate appears as TCCINT in Table 30, page 60.

Minimum Allowed VCCO Ramp Rate on Early Devices

Devices shipped since 2006 essentially have no VCCO ramp rate limits, shown in Table 30, page 60. Similarly, all devices
with a mask revision code ‘E’ or later do not have a VCCO ramp rate limit. See Mask and Fab Revisions, page 58.

DS099 (v3.1) June 27, 2013 www.xilinx.com

Product Specification 54
 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Functional Description

Initial Spartan-3 FPGA mask revisions have a limit on how fast the VCCO supply can ramp. The minimum allowed VCCO ramp
rate appears as TCCO in Table 30, page 60. The minimum rate is affected by the package inductance. Consequently, the ball
grid array and chip-scale packages (CP132, FT256, FG456, FG676, and FG900) allow a faster ramp rate than the quad-flat
packages (VQ100, TQ144, and PQ208).

Configuration Data Retention, Brown-Out

The FPGA’s configuration data is stored in robust CMOS configuration latches. The data in these latches is retained even
when the voltages drop to the minimum levels necessary to preserve RAM contents. This is specified in Table 31, page 60.
If, after configuration, the VCCAUX or VCCINT supply drops below its data retention voltage, clear the current device
configuration using one of the following methods:
• Force the VCCAUX or VCCINT supply voltage below the minimum Power On Reset (POR) voltage threshold Table 29,
page 59).
• Assert PROG_B Low.
The POR circuit does not monitor the VCCO_4 supply after configuration. Consequently, dropping the VCCO_4 voltage
does not reset the device by triggering a Power-On Reset (POR) event.

No Internal Charge Pumps or Free-Running Oscillators

Some system applications are sensitive to sources of analog noise. Spartan-3 FPGA circuitry is fully static and does not
employ internal charge pumps.
The CCLK configuration clock is active during the FPGA configuration process. After configuration completes, the CCLK
oscillator is automatically disabled unless the Bitstream Generator (BitGen) option Persist=Yes. See Module 4: Table 80,
page 125.
Spartan-3 FPGAs optionally support a featured called Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI). When used in an application,
the DCI logic uses an internal oscillator. The DCI logic is only enabled if the FPGA application specifies an I/O standard that
requires DCI (LVDCI_33, LVDCI_25, etc.). If DCI is not used, the associated internal oscillator is also disabled.
In summary, unless an application uses the Persist=Yes option or specifies a DCI I/O standard, an FPGA with no external
switching remains fully static.

DC and Switching Characteristics
DS099 (v3.1) June 27, 2013 Product Specification

DC Electrical Characteristics
In this section, specifications may be designated as Advance, Preliminary, or Production. These terms are defined as
follows:
• Advance: Initial estimates are based on simulation, early characterization, and/or extrapolation from the characteristics
of other families. Values are subject to change. Although speed grades with this designation are considered relatively
stable and conservative, some under-reporting might still occur. Use as estimates, not for production.
• Preliminary: Based on complete early silicon characterization. Devices and speed grades with this designation are
intended to give a better indication of the expected performance of production silicon. The probability of under-reported
delays is greatly reduced compared to Advance data. Use as estimates, not for production.
• Production: These specifications are approved only after silicon has been characterized over numerous production
lots. There is no under-reporting of delays, and customers receive formal notification of any subsequent changes.
Parameter values are considered stable with no future changes expected.
Production-quality systems must only use FPGA designs compiled with a Production status speed file. FPGA designs
using a less mature speed file designation should only be used during system prototyping or preproduction qualification.
FPGA designs with speed files designated as Advance or Preliminary should not be used in a production-quality
system.
Whenever a speed file designation changes, as a device matures toward Production status, rerun the latest Xilinx ISE®
software on the FPGA design to ensure that the FPGA design incorporates the latest timing information and software
updates.
All parameter limits are representative of worst-case supply voltage and junction temperature conditions. The following
applies unless otherwise noted: The parameter values published in this module apply to all Spartan®-3 devices. AC
and DC characteristics are specified using the same numbers for both commercial and industrial grades. All
parameters representing voltages are measured with respect to GND.
Mask and Fab Revisions
Some specifications list different values for one or more mask or fab revisions, indicated by the device top marking (see
Package Marking, page 5). The revision differences involve the power ramp rates, differential DC specifications, and DCM
characteristics. The most recent revision (mask rev E and GQ fab/geometry code) is errata-free with improved specifications
than earlier revisions.
Mask rev E with fab rev GQ has been shipping since 2005 (see XCN05009) and has been 100% of Xilinx Spartan-3 device
shipments since 2006. SCD 0974 was provided to ensure the receipt of the rev E silicon, but it is no longer needed. Parts
ordered under the SCD appended “0974” to the standard part number. For example, “XC3S50-4VQ100C” became
“XC3S50-4VQ100C0974”.

Notes:
1. Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only;
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those listed under the Recommended Operating Conditions is not
implied. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Ratings conditions for extended periods of time adversely affects device reliability.
2. All User I/O and Dual-Purpose pins (DIN/D0, D1–D7, CS_B, RDWR_B, BUSY/DOUT, and INIT_B) draw power from the VCCO power rail of
the associated bank. Keeping VIN within 500 mV of the associated VCCO rails or ground rail ensures that the internal diode junctions that
exist between each of these pins and the VCCO and GND rails do not turn on. Table 32 specifies the VCCO range used to determine the max
limit. Input voltages outside the –0.5V to VCCO+0.5V voltage range are permissible provided that the IIK input clamp diode rating is met and
no more than 100 pins exceed the range simultaneously. Prolonged exposure to such current may compromise device reliability. A sustained
current of 10 mA will not compromise device reliability. See XAPP459, Eliminating I/O Coupling Effects when Interfacing Large-Swing
Single-Ended Signals to User I/O Pins on Spartan-3 Generation FPGAs for more details. The VIN limits apply to both the DC and AC
components of signals. Simple application solutions are available that show how to handle overshoot/undershoot as well as achieve PCI
compliance. Refer to the following application notes: XAPP457, Powering and Configuring Spartan-3 Generation FPGAs in Compliant PCI
Applications and XAPP659, Virtex®-II Pro / Virtex-II Pro X 3.3V I/O Design Guidelines.
3. All Dedicated pins (M0–M2, CCLK, PROG_B, DONE, HSWAP_EN, TCK, TDI, TDO, and TMS) draw power from the VCCAUX rail (2.5V).
Meeting the VIN max limit ensures that the internal diode junctions that exist between each of these pins and the VCCAUX rail do not turn on.
Table 32 specifies the VCCAUX range used to determine the max limit. When VCCAUX is at its maximum recommended operating level
(2.625V), VIN max < 3.125V. As long as the VIN max specification is met, oxide stress is not possible. For information concerning the use of
3.3V signals, see the 3.3V-Tolerant Configuration Interface, page 47. See also XAPP459.
4. For soldering guidelines, see UG112, Device Packaging and Thermal Characteristics and XAPP427, Implementation and Solder Reflow
Guidelines for Pb-Free Packages.

VCCAUXT Threshold for the VCCAUX supply 0.8 2.0 V
VCCO4T Threshold for the VCCO Bank 4 supply 0.4 1.0 V
Notes:
1. VCCINT, VCCAUX, and VCCO supplies may be applied in any order. When applying VCCINT power before VCCAUX power, the FPGA may draw
a surplus current in addition to the quiescent current levels specified in Table 34. Applying VCCAUX eliminates the surplus current. The FPGA
does not use any of the surplus current for the power-on process. For this power sequence, make sure that regulators with foldback features
will not shut down inadvertently.
2. To ensure successful power-on, VCCINT, VCCO Bank 4, and VCCAUX supplies must rise through their respective threshold-voltage ranges
with no dips at any point.
3. If a brown-out condition occurs where VCCAUX or VCCINT drops below the retention voltage indicated in Table 31, then VCCAUX or VCCINT
must drop below the minimum power-on reset voltage in order to clear out the device configuration content.

Notes:
1. The VCCO range given here spans the lowest and highest operating voltages of all supported I/O standards. The recommended VCCO range
specific to each of the single-ended I/O standards is given in Table 35, and that specific to the differential standards is given in Table 37.
2. Only during DCM operation is it recommended that the rate of change of VCCAUX not exceed 10 mV/ms.
3. Input voltages outside the recommended range are permissible provided that the IIK input diode clamp diode rating is met. Refer to Table 28.
4. Each of the User I/O and Dual-Purpose pins is associated with one of the VCCO rails. Meeting the VIN limit ensures that the internal diode
junctions that exist between these pins and their associated VCCO and GND rails do not turn on. The absolute maximum rating is provided
in Table 28.
5. All Dedicated pins (PROG_B, DONE, TCK, TDI, TDO, and TMS) draw power from the VCCAUX rail (2.5V). Meeting the VIN max limit ensures
that the internal diode junctions that exist between each of these pins and the VCCAUX and GND rails do not turn on.
6. See XAPP459, Eliminating I/O Coupling Effects when Interfacing Large-Swing Single-Ended Signals to User I/O Pins on Spartan-3
Generation FPGAs.
7. For single-ended signals that are placed on a differential-capable I/O, VIN of –0.2V to –0.3V is supported but can cause increased leakage
between the two pins. See the Parasitic Leakage section in UG331, Spartan-3 Generation FPGA User Guide.

Notes:
1. The numbers in this table are based on the conditions set forth in Table 32.
2. The IL specification applies to every I/O pin throughout power-on as long as the voltage on that pin stays between the absolute VIN minimum
and maximum values (Table 28). For hot-swap applications, at the time of card connection, be sure to keep all I/O voltages within this range
before applying VCCO power. Consider applying VCCO power before connecting the signal lines, to avoid turning on the ESD protection
diodes, shown in Module 2: Figure 7, page 11. When the FPGA is completely unpowered, the I/O pins are high impedance, but there is a
path through the upper and lower ESD protection diodes.
3. This parameter is based on characterization. The pull-up resistance RPU = VCCO / IRPU. The pull-down resistance RPD = VIN / IRPD.
Spartan-3 family values for both resistances are stronger than they have been for previous FPGA families.
4. For single-ended signals that are placed on a differential-capable I/O, VIN of –0.2V to –0.3V is supported but can cause increased leakage
between the two pins. See the Parasitic Leakage section in UG331, Spartan-3 Generation FPGA User Guide.

Notes:
1. The numbers in this table are based on the conditions set forth in Table 32. Quiescent supply current is measured with all I/O drivers in a
high-impedance state and with all pull-up/pull-down resistors at the I/O pads disabled. Typical values are characterized using devices with
typical processing at room temperature (TJ of 25°C at VCCINT = 1.2V, VCCO = 3.3V, and VCCAUX = 2.5V). Maximum values are the
production test limits measured for each device at the maximum specified junction temperature and at maximum voltage limits with
VCCINT = 1.26V, VCCO = 3.465V, and VCCAUX = 2.625V. The FPGA is programmed with a "blank" configuration data file (i.e., a design with
no functional elements instantiated). For conditions other than those described above, (e.g., a design including functional elements, the use
of DCI standards, etc.), measured quiescent current levels may be different than the values in the table. Use the XPower Estimator or
XPower Analyzer for more accurate estimates. See Note 2.
2. There are two recommended ways to estimate the total power consumption (quiescent plus dynamic) for a specific design: a) The Spartan-3
XPower Estimator provides quick, approximate, typical estimates, and does not require a netlist of the design. b) XPower Analyzer, part of
the Xilinx ISE development software, uses the FPGA netlist as input to provide more accurate maximum and typical estimates.
3. The maximum numbers in this table also indicate the minimum current each power rail requires in order for the FPGA to power-on
successfully, once all three rails are supplied. If VCCINT is applied before VCCAUX, there may be temporary additional ICCINT current until
VCCAUX is applied. See Surplus ICCINT if VCCINT Applied before VCCAUX, page 54

Notes:
1. Descriptions of the symbols used in this table are as follows:
VCCO – the supply voltage for output drivers as well as LVCMOS, LVTTL, and PCI inputs
VREF – the reference voltage for setting the input switching threshold
VIL – the input voltage that indicates a Low logic level
VIH – the input voltage that indicates a High logic level
2. For device operation, the maximum signal voltage (VIH max) may be as high as VIN max. See Table 28.
3. Because the GTL and GTLP standards employ open-drain output buffers, VCCO lines do not supply current to the I/O circuit, rather this current is
provided using an external pull-up resistor connected from the I/O pin to a termination voltage (VTT). Nevertheless, the voltage applied to the
associated VCCO lines must always be at or above VTT and I/O pad voltages.
4. There is approximately 100 mV of hysteresis on inputs using LVCMOS25 or LVCMOS33 standards.
5. All dedicated pins (M0-M2, CCLK, PROG_B, DONE, HSWAP_EN, TCK, TDI, TDO, and TMS) use the LVCMOS standard and draw power from the
VCCAUX rail (2.5V). The dual-purpose configuration pins (DIN/D0, D1-D7, CS_B, RDWR_B, BUSY/DOUT, and INIT_B) use the LVCMOS standard
before the user mode. For these pins, apply 2.5V to the VCCO Bank 4 and VCCO Bank 5 rails at power-on and throughout configuration. For information
concerning the use of 3.3V signals, see 3.3V-Tolerant Configuration Interface, page 47.
6. The Global Clock Inputs (GCLK0-GCLK7) are dual-purpose pins to which any signal standard can be assigned.
7. For more information, see XAPP457.

Notes:
1. The numbers in this table are based on the conditions set forth in Table 32 and Table 35.
2. Descriptions of the symbols used in this table are as follows:
IOL – the output current condition under which VOL is tested
IOH – the output current condition under which VOH is tested
VOL – the output voltage that indicates a Low logic level
VOH – the output voltage that indicates a High logic level
VIL – the input voltage that indicates a Low logic level
VIH – the input voltage that indicates a High logic level
VCCO – the supply voltage for output drivers as well as LVCMOS, LVTTL, and PCI inputs
VREF – the reference voltage for setting the input switching threshold
VTT – the voltage applied to a resistor termination
3. Tested according to the standard’s relevant specifications. When using the DCI version of a standard on a given I/O bank, that bank will consume
more power than if the non-DCI version had been used instead. The additional power is drawn for the purpose of impedance-matching at the I/O pins.
A portion of this power is dissipated in the two RREF resistors.
4. For the LVCMOS and LVTTL standards: the same VOL and VOH limits apply for both the Fast and Slow slew attributes.
5. All dedicated output pins (CCLK, DONE, and TDO) and dual-purpose totem-pole output pins (D0-D7 and BUSY/DOUT) exhibit the characteristics of
LVCMOS25 with 12 mA drive and slow slew rate. For information concerning the use of 3.3V signals, see 3.3V-Tolerant Configuration Interface,
page 47.
6. Tested according to the relevant PCI specifications. For more information, see XAPP457.
7. The minimum usable VTT voltage is 1.25V.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: DC and Switching Characteristics

Switching Characteristics
All Spartan-3 devices are available in two speed grades: –4 and the higher performance –5. Switching characteristics in this
document may be designated as Advance, Preliminary, or Production. Each category is defined as follows:
Advance: These specifications are based on simulations only and are typically available soon after establishing FPGA
specifications. Although speed grades with this designation are considered relatively stable and conservative, some
under-reported delays may still occur.
Preliminary: These specifications are based on complete early silicon characterization. Devices and speed grades with this
designation are intended to give a better indication of the expected performance of production silicon. The probability of
under-reporting preliminary delays is greatly reduced compared to Advance data.
Production: These specifications are approved once enough production silicon of a particular device family member has
been characterized to provide full correlation between speed files and devices over numerous production lots. There is no
under-reporting of delays, and customers receive formal notification of any subsequent changes. Typically, the slowest
speed grades transition to Production before faster speed grades.
Production-quality systems must use FPGA designs compiled using a Production status speed file. FPGAs designs using a
less mature speed file designation may only be used during system prototyping or preproduction qualification. FPGA
designs using Advance or Preliminary status speed files should never be used in a production-quality system.
Whenever a speed file designation changes, as a device matures toward Production status, rerun the Xilinx ISE software on
the FPGA design to ensure that the FPGA design incorporates the latest timing information and software updates.
Xilinx ISE Software Updates: http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.htm
All specified limits are representative of worst-case supply voltage and junction temperature conditions. Unless otherwise
noted, the following applies: Parameter values apply to all Spartan-3 devices. All parameters representing voltages are
measured with respect to GND.
Selected timing parameters and their representative values are included below either because they are important as general
design requirements or they indicate fundamental device performance characteristics. The Spartan-3 FPGA v1.38 speed
files are the original source for many but not all of the values. The v1.38 speed files are available in Xilinx Integrated Software
Environment (ISE) software version 8.2i.
The speed grade designations for these files are shown in Table 39. For more complete, more precise, and worst-case data,
use the values reported by the Xilinx static timing analyzer (TRACE in the Xilinx development software) and back-annotated
to the simulation netlist.

3. This clock-to-output time requires adjustment whenever a signal standard other than LVCMOS25 is assigned to the Global Clock Input or a
standard other than LVCMOS25 with 12 mA drive and Fast slew rate is assigned to the data Output. If the former is true, add the appropriate
Input adjustment from Table 44. If the latter is true, add the appropriate Output adjustment from Table 47.

2. This setup time requires adjustment whenever a signal standard other than LVCMOS25 is assigned to the Global Clock Input or the data
Input. If this is true of the Global Clock Input, subtract the appropriate adjustment from Table 44. If this is true of the data Input, add the
appropriate Input adjustment from the same table.
3. This hold time requires adjustment whenever a signal standard other than LVCMOS25 is assigned to the Global Clock Input or the data
Input. If this is true of the Global Clock Input, add the appropriate Input adjustment from Table 44. If this is true of the data Input, subtract the
appropriate Input adjustment from the same table. When the hold time is negative, it is possible to change the data before the clock’s active
edge.

Timing Measurement Methodology

When measuring timing parameters at the programmable I/Os, different signal standards call for different test conditions.
Table 48 presents the conditions to use for each standard.
The method for measuring Input timing is as follows: A signal that swings between a Low logic level of VL and a High logic
level of VH is applied to the Input under test. Some standards also require the application of a bias voltage to the VREF pins
of a given bank to properly set the input-switching threshold. The measurement point of the Input signal (VM) is commonly
located halfway between VL and VH.
The Output test setup is shown in Figure 35. A termination voltage VT is applied to the termination resistor RT, the other end
of which is connected to the Output. For each standard, RT and VT generally take on the standard values recommended for
minimizing signal reflections. If the standard does not ordinarily use terminations (e.g., LVCMOS, LVTTL), then RT is set to
1MΩ to indicate an open connection, and VT is set to zero. The same measurement point (VM) that was used at the Input is
also used at the Output.

1. Descriptions of the relevant symbols are as follows:
VREF – The reference voltage for setting the input switching threshold
VICM – The common mode input voltage
VM – Voltage of measurement point on signal transition
VL – Low-level test voltage at Input pin
VH – High-level test voltage at Input pin
RT – Effective termination resistance, which takes on a value of 1MW when no parallel termination is required
VT – Termination voltage
2. The load capacitance (CL) at the Output pin is 0 pF for all signal standards.
3. According to the PCI specification.

The capacitive load (CL) is connected between the output and GND. The Output timing for all standards, as published in the speed files
and the data sheet, is always based on a CL value of zero. High-impedance probes (less than 1 pF) are used for all measurements.
Any delay that the test fixture might contribute to test measurements is subtracted from those measurements to produce the
final timing numbers as published in the speed files and data sheet.

Using IBIS Models to Simulate Load Conditions in Application

IBIS Models permit the most accurate prediction of timing delays for a given application. The parameters found in the IBIS
model (VREF, RREF, and VMEAS) correspond directly with the parameters used in Table 48, VT, RT, and VM. Do not confuse
VREF (the termination voltage) from the IBIS model with VREF (the input-switching threshold) from the table. A fourth
parameter, CREF, is always zero. The four parameters describe all relevant output test conditions. IBIS models are found in
the Xilinx development software as well as at the following link.
http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.htm
Simulate delays for a given application according to its specific load conditions as follows:
1. Simulate the desired signal standard with the output driver connected to the test setup shown in Figure 35. Use
parameter values VT, RT, and VM from Table 48. CREF is zero.
2. Record the time to VM.
3. Simulate the same signal standard with the output driver connected to the PCB trace with load. Use the appropriate IBIS
model (including VREF, RREF, CREF, and VMEAS values) or capacitive value to represent the load.
4. Record the time to VMEAS.
5. Compare the results of steps 2 and 4. The increase (or decrease) in delay should be added to (or subtracted from) the
appropriate Output standard adjustment (Table 47) to yield the worst-case delay of the PCB trace.

Simultaneously Switching Output Guidelines

This section provides guidelines for the maximum allowable number of Simultaneous Switching Outputs (SSOs). These
guidelines describe the maximum number of user I/O pins, of a given output signal standard, that should simultaneously
switch in the same direction, while maintaining a safe level of switching noise. Meeting these guidelines for the stated test
conditions ensures that the FPGA operates free from the adverse effects of ground and power bounce.
Ground or power bounce occurs when a large number of outputs simultaneously switch in the same direction. The output
drive transistors all conduct current to a common voltage rail. Low-to-High transitions conduct to the VCCO rail; High-to-Low
transitions conduct to the GND rail. The resulting cumulative current transient induces a voltage difference across the
inductance that exists between the die pad and the power supply or ground return. The inductance is associated with
bonding wires, the package lead frame, and any other signal routing inside the package. Other variables contribute to SSO
noise levels, including stray inductance on the PCB as well as capacitive loading at receivers. Any SSO-induced voltage
consequently affects internal switching noise margins and ultimately signal quality.
Table 49 and Table 50 provide the essential SSO guidelines. For each device/package combination, Table 49 provides the
number of equivalent VCCO/GND pairs. The equivalent number of pairs is based on characterization and will possibly not
match the physical number of pairs. For each output signal standard and drive strength, Table 50 recommends the maximum
number of SSOs, switching in the same direction, allowed per VCCO/GND pair within an I/O bank. The Table 50 guidelines
are categorized by package style. Multiply the appropriate numbers from Table 49 and Table 50 to calculate the maximum
number of SSOs allowed within an I/O bank. Exceeding these SSO guidelines may result in increased power or ground
bounce, degraded signal integrity, or increased system jitter.
SSOMAX/IO Bank = Table 49 x Table 50
The recommended maximum SSO values assume that the FPGA is soldered on the printed circuit board and that the board
uses sound design practices. The SSO values do not apply for FPGAs mounted in sockets, due to the lead inductance
introduced by the socket.
The number of SSOs allowed for quad-flat packages (VQ, TQ, PQ) is lower than for ball grid array packages (FG) due to the
larger lead inductance of the quad-flat packages. Ball grid array packages are recommended for applications with a large
number of simultaneously switching outputs.

Notes:
1. The VCCO lines for the pair of banks on each side of the CP132 and TQ144 packages are internally tied together. Each pair of interconnected
banks shares three VCCO/GND pairs. Consequently, the per bank number is 1.5.
2. The CP132, CPG132, FG1156, and FGG1156 packages are discontinued. See

Notes:
1. The numbers in this table are recommendations that assume the FPGA is soldered on a printed circuit board using sound practices. This
table assumes the following parasitic factors: combined PCB trace and land inductance per VCCO and GND pin of 1.0 nH, receiver capacitive
load of 15 pF. Test limits are the VIL/VIH voltage limits for the respective I/O standard.
2. Regarding the SSO numbers for all DCI standards, the RREF resistors connected to the VRN and VRP pins of the FPGA are 50W..
3. If more than one signal standard is assigned to the I/Os of a given bank, refer to XAPP689: Managing Ground Bounce in Large FPGAs for
information on how to perform weighted average SSO calculations.
4. Results are based on actual silicon testing using an FPGA soldered on a typical printed-circuit board.

Digital Clock Manager (DCM) Timing

For specification purposes, the DCM consists of three key components: the Delay-Locked Loop (DLL), the Digital Frequency
Synthesizer (DFS), and the Phase Shifter (PS).
Aspects of DLL operation play a role in all DCM applications. All such applications inevitably use the CLKIN and the CLKFB
inputs connected to either the CLK0 or the CLK2X feedback, respectively. Thus, specifications in the DLL tables (Table 58
and Table 59) apply to any application that only employs the DLL component. When the DFS and/or the PS components are
used together with the DLL, then the specifications listed in the DFS and PS tables (Table 60 through Table 63) supersede
any corresponding ones in the DLL tables. DLL specifications that do not change with the addition of DFS or PS functions
are presented in Table 58 and Table 59.
Period jitter and cycle-cycle jitter are two (of many) different ways of characterizing clock jitter. Both specifications describe
statistical variation from a mean value.
Period jitter is the worst-case deviation from the average clock period of all clock cycles in the collection of clock periods
sampled (usually from 100,000 to more than a million samples for specification purposes). In a histogram of period jitter, the
mean value is the clock period.
Cycle-cycle jitter is the worst-case difference in clock period between adjacent clock cycles in the collection of clock periods
sampled. In a histogram of cycle-cycle jitter, the mean value is zero.

Notes:
1. DLL specifications apply when any of the DLL outputs (CLK0, CLK90, CLK180, CLK270, CLK2X, CLK2X180, or CLKDV) are in use.
2. The DFS, when operating independently of the DLL, supports lower FCLKIN frequencies. See Table 60.
3. The CLKIN_DIVIDE_BY_2 attribute can be used to increase the effective input frequency range up to FBUFG. When set to TRUE,
CLKIN_DIVIDE_BY_2 divides the incoming clock frequency by two as it enters the DCM.
4. Industrial temperature range devices have additional requirements for continuous clocking, as specified in Table 64.
5. CLKIN input jitter beyond these limits may cause the DCM to lose lock. See UG331 for more details.

3. RDWR_B is synchronized to CCLK for the purpose of performing the Abort operation. The same pin asynchronously controls the driver
impedance of the D0 - D7 pins. To avoid contention when writing configuration data to the D0 - D7 bus, do not bring RDWR_B High when
CS_B is Low.
4. In the Slave Parallel mode, it is necessary to use the BUSY pin when the CCLK frequency exceeds this maximum specification.

Introduction
This data sheet module describes the various pins on a Spartan®-3 FPGA and how they connect to the supported
component packages.
• The Pin Types section categorizes all of the FPGA pins by their function type.
• The Pin Definitions section provides a top-level description for each pin on the device.
• The Detailed, Functional Pin Descriptions section offers significantly more detail about each pin, especially for the dual-
or special-function pins used during device configuration.
• Some pins have associated behavior that is controlled by settings in the configuration bitstream. These options are
described in the Bitstream Options section.
• The Package Overview section describes the various packaging options available for Spartan-3 FPGAs. Detailed pin
list tables and footprint diagrams are provided for each package solution.

Pin Descriptions
Pin Types
A majority of the pins on a Spartan-3 FPGA are general-purpose, user-defined I/O pins. There are, however, up to 12
different functional types of pins on Spartan-3 device packages, as outlined in Table 69. In the package footprint drawings
that follow, the individual pins are color-coded according to pin type as in the table.

totem-pole Output A Low-to-High output transition on this bidirectional pin signals the end of

The FPGA produces a Low-to-High transition on this pin to indicate that the
configuration process is complete. The DriveDone bitstream generation
option defines whether this pin functions as a totem-pole output that
actively drives High or as an open-drain output. An open-drain output
requires a pull-up resistor to produce a High logic level. The open-drain
option permits the DONE lines of multiple FPGAs to be tied together, so
that the common node transitions High only after all of the FPGAs have
completed configuration. Externally holding the open-drain output Low
delays the start-up sequence, which marks the transition to user mode.
M0, M1, M2 Input Configuration Mode Selection:

Notes:
1. All unused inputs and bidirectional pins must be tied either High or Low. For unused enable inputs, apply the level that disables the
associated function. One common approach is to activate internal pull-up or pull-down resistors. An alternative approach is to externally
connect the pin to either VCCO or GND.
2. All outputs are of the totem-pole type — i.e., they can drive High as well as Low logic levels — except for the cases where “Open Drain” is
indicated. The latter can only drive a Low logic level and require a pull-up resistor to produce a High logic level.

Detailed, Functional Pin Descriptions

I/O Type: Unrestricted, General-purpose I/O Pins
After configuration, I/O-type pins are inputs, outputs, bidirectional I/O, three-state outputs, open-drain outputs, or
open-source outputs, as defined in the application
Pins labeled "IO" support all SelectIO™ interface signal standards except differential standards. A given device at most only
has a few of these pins.
A majority of the general-purpose I/O pins are labeled in the format “IO_Lxxy_#”. These pins support all SelectIO signal
standards, including the differential standards such as LVDS, ULVDS, BLVDS, RSDS, or LDT.
For additional information, see IOBs, page 10

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Pinout Descriptions

Differential Pair Labeling

A pin supports differential standards if the pin is labeled in the format “Lxxy_#”. The pin name suffix has the following
significance. Figure 40 provides a specific example showing a differential input to and a differential output from Bank 2.
• ‘L’ indicates differential capability.
• "xx" is a two-digit integer, unique for each bank, that identifies a differential pin-pair.
• ‘y’ is replaced by ‘P’ for the true signal or ‘N’ for the inverted. These two pins form one differential pin-pair.
• ‘#’ is an integer, 0 through 7, indicating the associated I/O bank.
If unused, these pins are in a high impedance state. The Bitstream generator option UnusedPin enables a pull-up or
pull-down resistor on all unused I/O pins.

Behavior from Power-On through End of Configuration

During the configuration process, all pins that are not actively involved in the configuration process are in a high-impedance
state. The CONFIG- and JTAG-type pins have an internal pull-up resistor to VCCAUX during configuration. For all other I/O
pins, the HSWAP_EN input determines whether or not pull-up resistors are activated during configuration. HSWAP_EN = 0
enables the pull-up resistors. HSWAP_EN = 1 disables the pull-up resistors allowing the pins to float, which is the desired
state for hot-swap applications.

DUAL Type: Dual-Purpose Configuration and I/O Pins

These pins serve dual purposes. The user-I/O pins are temporarily borrowed during the configuration process to load
configuration data into the FPGA. After configuration, these pins are then usually available as a user I/O in the application.
If a pin is not applicable to the specific configuration mode—controlled by the mode select pins M2, M1, and M0—then the
pin behaves as an I/O-type pin.
There are 12 dual-purpose configuration pins on every package, six of which are part of I/O Bank 4, the other six part of I/O
Bank 5. Only a few of the pins in Bank 4 are used in the Serial configuration modes.
See Pin Behavior During Configuration, page 122.

Serial Configuration Modes

This section describes the dual-purpose pins used during either Master or Slave Serial mode. See Table 75 for Mode Select
pin settings required for Serial modes. All such pins are in Bank 4 and powered by VCCO_4.
In both the Master and Slave Serial modes, DIN is the serial configuration data input. The D1-D7 inputs are unused in serial
mode and behave like general-purpose I/O pins.
In all the cases, the configuration data is synchronized to the rising edge of the CCLK clock signal.
The DIN, DOUT, and INIT_B pins can be retained in the application to support reconfiguration by setting the Persist
bitstream generation option. However, the serial modes do not support device readback.

During the Master or Slave Serial configuration modes, DIN is the serial configuration data input, and
all data is synchronized to the rising CCLK edge. After configuration, this pin is available as a user I/O.
This signal is located in Bank 4 and its output voltage determined by VCCO_4.
The BitGen option Persist permits this pin to retain its configuration function in the User mode.
DOUT Output Serial Data Output:
In a multi-FPGA design where all the FPGAs use serial mode, connect the DOUT output of one
FPGA—in either Master or Slave Serial mode—to the DIN input of the next FPGA—in Slave Serial
mode—so that configuration data passes from one to the next, in daisy-chain fashion. This “daisy
chain” permits sequential configuration of multiple FPGAs.
This signal is located in Bank 4 and its output voltage determined by VCCO_4.
The BitGen option Persist permits this pin to retain its configuration function in the User mode.
INIT_B Bidirectional Initializing Configuration Memory/Configuration Error:
(open-drain) Just after power is applied, the FPGA produces a Low-to-High transition on this pin indicating that
initialization (i.e., clearing) of the configuration memory has finished. Before entering the User mode,
this pin functions as an open-drain output, which requires a pull-up resistor in order to produce a High
logic level. In a multi-FPGA design, tie (wire AND) the INIT_B pins from all FPGAs together so that the
common node transitions High only after all of the FPGAs have been successfully initialized.
Externally holding this pin Low beyond the initialization phase delays the start of configuration. This
action stalls the FPGA at the configuration step just before the mode select pins are sampled.
During configuration, the FPGA indicates the occurrence of a data (i.e., CRC) error by asserting
INIT_B Low.
This signal is located in Bank 4 and its output voltage determined by VCCO_4.
The BitGen option Persist permits this pin to retain its configuration function in the User mode.

Parallel Configuration Modes (SelectMAP)

This section describes the dual-purpose configuration pins used during the Master and Slave Parallel configuration modes,
sometimes also called the SelectMAP modes. In both Master and Slave Parallel configuration modes, D0-D7 form the
byte-wide configuration data input. See Table 75 for Mode Select pin settings required for Parallel modes.
As shown in Figure 41, D0 is the most-significant bit while D7 is the least-significant bit. Bits D0-D3 form the high nibble of
the byte and bits D4-D7 form the low nibble.
In the Parallel configuration modes, both the VCCO_4 and VCCO_5 voltage supplies are required and must both equal the
voltage of the attached configuration device, typically either 2.5V or 3.3V.
Assert Low both the chip-select pin, CS_B, and the read/write control pin, RDWR_B, to write the configuration data byte
presented on the D0-D7 pins to the FPGA on a rising-edge of the configuration clock, CCLK. The order of CS_B and
RDWR_B does not matter, although RDWR_B must be asserted throughout the configuration process. If RDWR_B is
de-asserted during configuration, the FPGA aborts the configuration operation.
After configuration, these pins are available as general-purpose user I/O. However, the SelectMAP configuration interface is
optionally available for debugging and dynamic reconfiguration. To use these SelectMAP pins after configuration, set the
Persist bitstream generation option.
The Readback debugging option, for example, requires the Persist bitstream generation option. During Readback mode,
assert CS_B Low, along with RDWR_B High, to read a configuration data byte from the FPGA to the D0-D7 bus on a rising
CCLK edge. During Readback mode, D0-D7 are output pins.
In all the cases, the configuration data and control signals are synchronized to the rising edge of the CCLK clock signal.

In the Slave and Master Parallel modes, BUSY throttles the rate at which configuration data is loaded.

JTAG Configuration Mode

In the JTAG configuration mode all dual-purpose configuration pins are unused and behave exactly like user-I/O pins, as
shown in Table 79. See Table 75 for Mode Select pin settings required for JTAG mode.

Dual-Purpose Pin I/O Standard During Configuration

During configuration, the dual-purpose pins default to CMOS input and output levels for the associated VCCO voltage
supply pins. For example, in the Parallel configuration modes, both VCCO_4 and VCCO_5 are required. If connected to
+2.5V, then the associated pins conform to the LVCMOS25 I/O standard. If connected to +3.3V, then the pins drive LVCMOS
output levels and accept either LVTTL or LVCMOS input levels.

Dual-Purpose Pin Behavior After Configuration

After the configuration process completes, these pins, if they were borrowed during configuration, become user-I/O pins
available to the application. If a dual-purpose configuration pin is not used during the configuration process—i.e., the parallel
configuration pins when using serial mode—then the pin behaves exactly like a general-purpose I/O. See I/O Type:
Unrestricted, General-purpose I/O Pins section.

DCI: User I/O or Digitally Controlled Impedance Resistor Reference Input

These pins are individual user-I/O pins unless one of the I/O standards used in the bank requires the Digitally Controlled
Impedance (DCI) feature. If DCI is used, then 1% precision resistors connected to the VRP_# and VRN_# pins match the
impedance on the input or output buffers of the I/O standards that use DCI within the bank. The ‘#’ character in the pin name
indicates the associated I/O bank and is an integer, 0 through 7.
There are two DCI pins per I/O bank, except in the CP132 and TQ144 packages, which do not have any DCI inputs for
Bank 5.

VRP and VRN Impedance Resistor Reference Inputs

The 1% precision impedance-matching resistor attached to the VRP_# pin controls the pull-up impedance of PMOS
transistor in the input or output buffer. Consequently, the VRP_# pin must connect to ground. The ‘P’ character in “VRP”
indicates that this pin controls the I/O buffer’s PMOS transistor impedance. The VRP_# pin is used for both single and split
termination.

DS099 (v3.1) June 27, 2013 www.xilinx.com

Product Specification 115
 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Pinout Descriptions

The 1% precision impedance-matching resistor attached to the VRN_# pin controls the pull-down impedance of NMOS
transistor in the input or output buffer. Consequently, the VRN_# pin must connect to VCCO. The ‘N’ character in “VRN”
indicates that this pin controls the I/O buffer’s NMOS transistor impedance. The VRN_# pin is only used for split termination.
Each VRN or VRP reference input requires its own resistor. A single resistor cannot be shared between VRN or VRP pins
associated with different banks.
During configuration, these pins behave exactly like user-I/O pins. The associated DCI behavior is not active or valid until
after configuration completes.
Also see Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI), page 16.

DCI Termination Types

If the I/O in an I/O bank do not use the DCI feature, then no external resistors are required and both the VRP_# and VRN_#
pins are available for user I/O, as shown in section [a] of Figure 42.
If the I/O standards within the associated I/O bank require single termination—such as GTL_DCI, GTLP_DCI, or
HSTL_III_DCI—then only the VRP_# signal connects to a 1% precision impedance-matching resistor, as shown in section
[b] of Figure 42. A resistor is not required for the VRN_# pin.
Finally, if the I/O standards with the associated I/O bank require split termination—such as HSTL_I_DCI, SSTL2_I_DCI,
SSTL2_II_DCI, or LVDS_25_DCI and LVDSEXT_25_DCI receivers—then both the VRP_# and VRN_# pins connect to
separate 1% precision impedance-matching resistors, as shown in section [c] of Figure 42. Neither pin is available for user
I/O.

GCLK: Global Clock Buffer Inputs or General-Purpose I/O Pins

These pins are user-I/O pins unless they specifically connect to one of the eight low-skew global clock buffers on the device,
specified using the IBUFG primitive.
There are eight GCLK pins per device and two each appear in the top-edge banks, Bank 0 and 1, and the bottom-edge
banks, Banks 4 and 5. See Figure 40 for a picture of bank labeling.
During configuration, these pins behave exactly like user-I/O pins.
Also see Global Clock Network, page 42.

CONFIG: Dedicated Configuration Pins

The dedicated configuration pins control the configuration process and are not available as user-I/O pins. Every package
has seven dedicated configuration pins. All CONFIG-type pins are powered by the +2.5V VCCAUX supply.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Pinout Descriptions

CCLK: Configuration Clock

The configuration clock signal on this pin synchronizes the reading or writing of configuration data. The CCLK pin is an
input-only pin for the Slave Serial and Slave Parallel configuration modes. In the Master Serial and Master Parallel
configuration modes, the FPGA drives the CCLK pin and CCLK should be treated as a full bidirectional I/O pin for signal
integrity analysis.
Although the CCLK frequency is relatively low, Spartan-3 FPGA output edge rates are fast. Any potential signal integrity
problems on the CCLK board trace can cause FPGA configuration to fail. Therefore, pay careful attention to the CCLK signal
integrity on the printed circuit board. Signal integrity simulation with IBIS is recommended. For all configuration modes
except JTAG, consider the signal integrity at every CCLK trace destination, including the FPGA’s CCLK pin. For more details
on CCLK design considerations, see Chapter 2 of UG332, Spartan-3 Generation Configuration User Guide.
During configuration, the CCLK pin has a pull-up resistor to VCCAUX, regardless of the HSWAP_EN pin. After configuration,
the CCLK pin is pulled High to VCCAUX by default as defined by the CclkPin bitstream selection, although this behavior is
programmable. Any clocks applied to CCLK after configuration are ignored unless the bitstream option Persist is set to Yes,
which retains the configuration interface. Persist is set to No by default. However, if Persist is set to Yes, then all clock
edges are potentially active events, depending on the other configuration control signals.
The bitstream generator option ConfigRate determines the frequency of the internally-generated CCLK oscillator required
for the Master configuration modes. The actual frequency is approximate due to the characteristics of the silicon oscillator
and varies by up to 50% over the temperature and voltage range. By default, CCLK operates at approximately 6 MHz. Via
the ConfigRate option, the oscillator frequency is set at approximately 3, 6, 12, 25, or 50 MHz. At power-on, CCLK always
starts operation at its lowest frequency. The device does not start operating at the higher frequency until the ConfigRate
control bits are loaded during the configuration process.

PROG_B: Program/Configure Device

This asynchronous pin initiates the configuration or re-configuration processes. A Low-going pulse resets the configuration
logic, initializing the configuration memory. This initialization process cannot finish until PROG_B returns High. Asserting
PROG_B Low for an extended period delays the configuration process. At power-up, there is always a pull-up resistor to
VCCAUX on this pin, regardless of the HSWAP_EN input. After configuration, the bitstream generator option ProgPin
determines whether or not the pull-up resistor is present. By default, the ProgPin option retains the pull-up resistor.
After configuration, hold the PROG_B input High. Any Low-going pulse on PROG_B lasting 300 ns or longer restarts the
configuration process.

Power-up Automatically initiates configuration process.

Initiate (re-)configuration process and continue to completion.

Extended Low Initiate (re-)configuration process and stall process at step where configuration memory is cleared. Process is
stalled until PROG_B returns High.

If the configuration process is started, continue to completion. If configuration process is complete, stay in User
1
mode.

DONE: Configuration Done, Delay Start-Up Sequence

The FPGA produces a Low-to-High transition on this pin indicating that the configuration process is complete. The bitstream
generator option DriveDone determines whether this pin functions as a totem-pole output that can drive High or as an
open-drain output. If configured as an open-drain output—which is the default behavior—then a pull-up resistor is required
to produce a High logic level. There is a bitstream option that provides an internal pull-up resistor, otherwise an external
pull-up resistor is required.
The open-drain option permits the DONE lines of multiple FPGAs to be tied together, so that the common node transitions
High only after all of the FPGAs have completed configuration. Externally holding the open-drain DONE pin Low delays the
start-up sequence, which marks the transition to user mode.

DS099 (v3.1) June 27, 2013 www.xilinx.com

Product Specification 117
 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Pinout Descriptions

Once the FPGA enters User mode after completing configuration, the DONE pin no longer drives the DONE pin Low. The
bitstream generator option DonePin determines whether or not a pull-up resistor is present on the DONE pin to pull the pin
to VCCAUX. If the pull-up resistor is eliminated, then the DONE pin must be pulled High using an external pull-up resistor or
one of the FPGAs in the design must actively drive the DONE pin High via the DriveDone bitstream generator option.
The bitstream generator option DriveDone causes the FPGA to actively drive the DONE output High after configuration. This
option should only be used in single-FPGA designs or on the last FPGA in a multi-FPGA daisy-chain.
By default, the bitstream generator software retains the pull-up resistor and does not actively drive the DONE pin as
highlighted in Table 74, which shows the interaction of these bitstream options in single- and multi-FPGA designs.

M2, M1, M0: Configuration Mode Selection

The M2, M1, and M0 inputs select the FPGA configuration mode, as described in Table 75. The logic levels applied to the
mode pins are sampled on the rising edge of INIT_B.

successfully completes, any levels applied to these input are ignored. Furthermore, the bitstream generator options M0Pin,
M1Pin, and M2Pin determines whether a pull-up resistor, pull-down resistor, or no resistor is present on its respective mode
pin, M0, M1, or M2.

HSWAP_EN: Disable Pull-up Resistors During Configuration

As shown in Table 76, a Low on this asynchronous pin enables pull-up resistors on all user I/Os not actively involved in the
configuration process, although only until device configuration completes. A High disables the pull-up resistors during
configuration, which is the desired state for some applications.
The dedicated configuration CONFIG pins (CCLK, DONE, PROG_B, HSWAP_EN, M2, M1, M0), the JTAG pins (TDI, TMS,
TCK, TDO) and the INIT_B always have active pull-up resistors during configuration, regardless of the value on
HSWAP_EN.
After configuration, HSWAP_EN becomes a "don’t care" input and any pull-up resistors previously enabled by HSWAP_EN
are disabled. If a user I/O in the application requires a pull-up resistor after configuration, place a PULLUP primitive on the
associated I/O pin or, for some pins, set the associated bitstream generator option.

IDCODE Register
Spartan-3 FPGAs contain a 32-bit identification register called the IDCODE register, as defined in the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG
standard. The fixed value electrically identifies the manufacture (Xilinx) and the type of device being addressed over a JTAG
chain. This register allows the JTAG host to identify the device being tested or programmed via JTAG. See Table 78.

Using JTAG Port After Configuration

The JTAG port is always active and available before, during, and after FPGA configuration. Add the BSCAN_SPARTAN3
primitive to the design to create user-defined JTAG instructions and JTAG chains to communicate with internal logic.
Furthermore, the contents of the User ID register within the JTAG port can be specified as a Bitstream Generation option.
By default, the 32-bit User ID register contains 0xFFFFFFFF.

Precautions When Using the JTAG Port in 3.3V Environments

The JTAG port is powered by the +2.5V VCCAUX power supply. When connecting to a 3.3V interface, the JTAG input pins
must be current-limited using a series resistor. Similarly, the TDO pin is a CMOS output powered from +2.5V. The TDO
output can directly drive a 3.3V input but with reduced noise immunity. See 3.3V-Tolerant Configuration Interface, page 47.
See also XAPP453: The 3.3V Configuration of Spartan-3 FPGAs for additional details.
The following interface precautions are recommended when connecting the JTAG port to a 3.3V interface.
• Avoid actively driving the JTAG input signals High with 3.3V signal levels. If required in the application, use series
current-limiting resistors to keep the current below 10 mA per pin.
• If possible, drive the FPGA JTAG inputs with drivers that can be placed in high-impedance (Hi-Z) after using the JTAG
port. Alternatively, drive the FPGA JTAG inputs with open-drain outputs, which only drive Low. In both cases, pull-up
resistors are required. The FPGA JTAG pins have pull-up resistors to VCCAUX before configuration and optional
pull-up resistors after configuration, controlled by Bitstream Options, page 125.

VREF: User I/O or Input Buffer Reference Voltage for Special Interface Standards
These pins are individual user-I/O pins unless collectively they supply an input reference voltage, VREF_#, for any SSTL,
HSTL, GTL, or GTLP I/Os implemented in the associated I/O bank. The ‘#’ character in the pin name represents an integer,
0 through 7, that indicates the associated I/O bank.
The VREF function becomes active for this pin whenever a signal standard requiring a reference voltage is used in the
associated bank. If used as a user I/O, then each pin behaves as an independent I/O described in the I/O type section. If
used for a reference voltage within a bank, then all VREF pins within the bank must be connected to the same reference
voltage.
Spartan-3 devices are designed and characterized to support certain I/O standards when VREF is connected to +1.25V,
+1.10V, +1.00V, +0.90V, +0.80V, and +0.75V. During configuration, the VREF pins behave exactly like user-I/O pins.
If designing for footprint compatibility across the range of devices in a specific package, and if the VREF_# pins within a bank
connect to an input reference voltage, then also connect any N.C. (not connected) pins on the smaller devices in that
package to the input reference voltage. More details are provided later for each package type.

N.C. Type: Unconnected Package Pins

Pins marked as “N.C.” are unconnected for the specific device/package combination. For other devices in this same
package, this pin may be used as an I/O or VREF connection. In both the pinout tables and the footprint diagrams,
unconnected pins are noted with either a black diamond symbol () or a black square symbol ().
If designing for footprint compatibility across multiple device densities, check the pin types of the other Spartan-3 devices
available in the same footprint. If the N.C. pin matches to VREF pins in other devices, and the VREF pins are used in the
associated I/O bank, then connect the N.C. to the VREF voltage source.

VCCO Type: Output Voltage Supply for I/O Bank

Each I/O bank has its own set of voltage supply pins that determines the output voltage for the output buffers in the I/O bank.
Furthermore, for some I/O standards such as LVCMOS, LVCMOS25, LVTTL, etc., VCCO sets the input threshold voltage on
the associated input buffers.
Spartan-3 devices are designed and characterized to support various I/O standards for VCCO values of +1.2V, +1.5V, +1.8V,
+2.5V, and +3.3V.
Most VCCO pins are labeled as VCCO_# where the ‘#’ symbol represents the associated I/O bank number, an integer
ranging from 0 to 7. In the 144-pin TQFP package (TQ144) however, the VCCO pins along an edge of the device are
combined into a single VCCO input. For example, the VCCO inputs for Bank 0 and Bank 1 along the top edge of the package
are combined and relabeled VCCO_TOP. The bottom, left, and right edges are similarly combined.
In Serial configuration mode, VCCO_4 must be at a level compatible with the attached configuration memory or data source.
In Parallel configuration mode, both VCCO_4 and VCCO_5 must be at the same compatible voltage level.
All VCCO inputs to a bank must be connected together and to the voltage supply. Furthermore, there must be sufficient
supply decoupling to guarantee problem-free operation, as described in XAPP623: Power Distribution System (PDS)
Design: Using Bypass/Decoupling Capacitors.

VCCINT Type: Voltage Supply for Internal Core Logic

Internal core logic circuits such as the configurable logic blocks (CLBs) and programmable interconnect operate from the
VCCINT voltage supply inputs. VCCINT must be +1.2V.
All VCCINT inputs must be connected together and to the +1.2V voltage supply. Furthermore, there must be sufficient
supply decoupling to guarantee problem-free operation, as described in XAPP623.

VCCAUX Type: Voltage Supply for Auxiliary Logic

The VCCAUX pins supply power to various auxiliary circuits, such as to the Digital Clock Managers (DCMs), the JTAG pins,
and to the dedicated configuration pins (CONFIG type). VCCAUX must be +2.5V.

 Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Pinout Descriptions

All VCCAUX inputs must be connected together and to the +2.5V voltage supply. Furthermore, there must be sufficient
supply decoupling to guarantee problem-free operation, as described in XAPP623.
Because VCCAUX connects to the DCMs and the DCMs are sensitive to voltage changes, be sure that the VCCAUX supply
and the ground return paths are designed for low noise and low voltage drop, especially that caused by a large number of
simultaneous switching I/Os.

GND Type: Ground

All GND pins must be connected and have a low resistance path back to the various VCCO, VCCINT, and VCCAUX
supplies.

Pin Behavior During Configuration

Table 79 shows how various pins behave during the FPGA configuration process. The actual behavior depends on the
values applied to the M2, M1, and M0 mode select pins and the HSWAP_EN pin. The mode select pins determine which of
the DUAL type pins are active during configuration. In JTAG configuration mode, none of the DUAL-type pins are used for
configuration and all behave as user-I/O pins.
All DUAL-type pins not actively used during configuration and all I/O-type, DCI-type, VREF-type, GCLK-type pins are high
impedance (floating, three-stated, Hi-Z) during the configuration process. These pins are indicated in Table 79 as shaded
table entries or cells. These pins have a pull-up resistor to their associated VCCO if the HSWAP_EN pin is Low. When
HSWAP_EN is High, these pull-up resistors are disabled during configuration.
Some pins always have an active pull-up resistor during configuration, regardless of the value applied to the HSWAP_EN
pin. After configuration, these pull-up resistors are controlled by Bitstream Options.
• All the dedicated CONFIG-type configuration pins (CCLK, PROG_B, DONE, M2, M1, M0, and HSWAP_EN) have a
pull-up resistor to VCCAUX.
• All JTAG-type pins (TCK, TDI, TMS, TDO) have a pull-up resistor to VCCAUX.
• The INIT_B DUAL-purpose pin has a pull-up resistor to VCCO_4 or VCCO_BOTTOM, depending on package style.
After configuration completes, some pins have optional behavior controlled by the configuration bitstream loaded into the
part. For example, via the bitstream, all unused I/O pins can be collectively configured as input pins with either a pull-up
resistor, a pull-down resistor, or be left in a high-impedance state.

Package Overview
Table 81 shows the 10 low-cost, space-saving production package styles for the Spartan-3 family. Each package style is
available as a standard and an environmentally-friendly lead-free (Pb-free) option. The Pb-free packages include an extra
‘G’ in the package style name. For example, the standard "VQ100" package becomes "VQG100" when ordered as the
Pb-free option. The mechanical dimensions of the standard and Pb-free packages are similar, as shown in the mechanical
drawings provided in Table 83.
Not all Spartan-3 device densities are available in all packages. However, for a specific package there is a common footprint
that supports the various devices available in that package. See the footprint diagrams that follow.

Selecting the Right Package Option

Spartan-3 FPGAs are available in both quad-flat pack (QFP) and ball grid array (BGA) packaging options. While QFP
packaging offers the lowest absolute cost, the BGA packages are superior in almost every other aspect, as summarized in
Table 82. Consequently, Xilinx recommends using BGA packaging whenever possible.

Table 82: Comparing Spartan-3 Device Packaging Options

Characteristic Quad Flat-Pack (QFP) Ball Grid Array (BGA)
Maximum User I/O 141 633
Packing Density (Logic/Area) Good Better
Signal Integrity Fair Better
Simultaneous Switching Output (SSO) Support Limited Better

Power, Ground, and I/O by Package

Each package has three separate voltage supply inputs—VCCINT, VCCAUX, and VCCO—and a common ground return,
GND. The numbers of pins dedicated to these functions varies by package, as shown in Table 84.

A majority of package pins are user-defined I/O pins. However, the numbers and characteristics of these I/O depends on the
device type and the package in which it is available, as shown in Table 85. The table shows the maximum number of
single-ended I/O pins available, assuming that all I/O-, DUAL-, DCI-, VREF-, and GCLK-type pins are used as
general-purpose I/O. Likewise, the table shows the maximum number of differential pin-pairs available on the package.
Finally, the table shows how the total maximum user I/Os are distributed by pin type, including the number of
unconnected—i.e., N.C.—pins on the device.

Package Thermal Characteristics

The power dissipated by an FPGA application has implications on package selection and system design. The power
consumed by a Spartan-3 FPGA is reported using either the XPower Estimator (XPE) or the XPower Analyzer integrated in
the Xilinx ISE development software. Table 86 provides the thermal characteristics for the various Spartan-3 device/package
offerings.
The junction-to-case thermal resistance (θJC) indicates the difference between the temperature measured on the package
body (case) and the die junction temperature per watt of power consumption. The junction-to-board (θJB) value similarly
reports the difference between the board and junction temperature. The junction-to-ambient (θJA) value reports the
temperature difference per watt between the ambient environment and the junction temperature. The θJA value is reported
at different air velocities, measured in linear feet per minute (LFM). The “Still Air (0 LFM)” column shows the θJA value in a
system without a fan. The thermal resistance drops with increasing air flow.

VQ100: 100-lead Very-Thin Quad Flat Package

The XC3S50 and the XC3S200 devices are available in the 100-lead very-thin quad flat package, VQ100. Both devices
share a common footprint for this package as shown in Table 87 and Figure 44.
All the package pins appear in Table 87 and are sorted by bank number, then by pin name. Pairs of pins that form a
differential I/O pair appear together in the table. The table also shows the pin number for each pin and the pin type, as
defined earlier.
An electronic version of this package pinout table and footprint diagram is available for download from the Xilinx website at
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_ sheets/s3_pin.zip.

CP132: 132-Ball Chip-Scale Package

Note: The CP132 and CPG132 packages are discontinued. See
www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/spartan-3.htm#19600.
The pinout and footprint for the XC3S50 in the 132-ball chip-scale package, CP132, appear in Table 89 and Figure 45.
All the package pins appear in Table 89 and are sorted by bank number, then by pin name. Pins that form a differential I/O
pair appear together in the table. The table also shows the pin number for each pin and the pin type, as defined earlier.
The CP132 footprint has eight I/O banks. However, the voltage supplies for the two I/O banks along an edge are connected
together internally. Consequently, there are four output voltage supplies, labeled VCCO_TOP, VCCO_RIGHT,
VCCO_BOTTOM, and VCCO_LEFT.

TQ144: 144-lead Thin Quad Flat Package

The XC3S50, the XC3S200, and the XC3S400 are available in the 144-lead thin quad flat package, TQ144. All devices
share a common footprint for this package as shown in Table 91 and Figure 46.
The TQ144 package only has four separate VCCO inputs, unlike the BGA packages, which have eight separate VCCO
inputs. The TQ144 package has a separate VCCO input for the top, bottom, left, and right. However, there are still eight
separate I/O banks, as shown in Table 91 and Figure 46. Banks 0 and 1 share the VCCO_TOP input, Banks 2 and 3 share
the VCCO_RIGHT input, Banks 4 and 5 share the VCCO_BOTTOM input, and Banks 6 and 7 share the VCCO_LEFT input.
All the package pins appear in Table 91 and are sorted by bank number, then by pin name. Pairs of pins that form a
differential I/O pair appear together in the table. The table also shows the pin number for each pin and the pin type, as
defined earlier.
An electronic version of this package pinout table and footprint diagram is available for download from the Xilinx website at
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_ sheets/s3_pin.zip.

PQ208: 208-lead Plastic Quad Flat Pack

The 208-lead plastic quad flat package, PQ208, supports three different Spartan-3 devices, including the XC3S50, the
XC3S200, and the XC3S400. The footprints for the XC3S200 and XC3S400 are identical, as shown in Table 93 and
Figure 47. The XC3S50, however, has fewer I/O pins resulting in 17 unconnected pins on the PQ208 package, labeled as
“N.C.” In Table 93 and Figure 47, these unconnected pins are indicated with a black diamond symbol ().
All the package pins appear in Table 93 and are sorted by bank number, then by pin name. Pairs of pins that form a
differential I/O pair appear together in the table. The table also shows the pin number for each pin and the pin type, as
defined earlier.
If there is a difference between the XC3S50 pinout and the pinout for the XC3S200 and XC3S400, then that difference is
highlighted in Table 93. If the table entry is shaded grey, then there is an unconnected pin on the XC3S50 that maps to a
user-I/O pin on the XC3S200 and XC3S400. If the table entry is shaded tan, then the unconnected pin on the XC3S50 maps
to a VREF-type pin on the XC3S200 and XC3S400. If the other VREF pins in the bank all connect to a voltage reference to
support a special I/O standard, then also connect the N.C. pin on the XC3S50 to the same VREF voltage. This provides
maximum flexibility as you could potentially migrate a design from the XC3S50 device to an XC3S200 or XC3S400 FPGA
without changing the printed circuit board.

FT256: 256-lead Fine-pitch Thin Ball Grid Array

The 256-lead fine-pitch thin ball grid array package, FT256, supports three different Spartan-3 devices, including the
XC3S200, the XC3S400, and the XC3S1000. The footprints for all three devices are identical, as shown in Table 96 and
Figure 49.
All the package pins appear in Table 96 and are sorted by bank number, then by pin name. Pairs of pins that form a
differential I/O pair appear together in the table. The table also shows the pin number for each pin and the pin type, as
defined earlier.
An electronic version of this package pinout table and footprint diagram is available for download from the Xilinx website at
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_ sheets/s3_pin.zip.

FG320: 320-lead Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array

The 320-lead fine-pitch ball grid array package, FG320, supports three different Spartan-3 devices, including the XC3S400,
the XC3S1000, and the XC3S1500. The footprint for all three devices is identical, as shown in Table 98 and Figure 50.
The FG320 package is an 18 x 18 array of solder balls minus the four center balls.
All the package pins appear in Table 98 and are sorted by bank number, then by pin name. Pairs of pins that form a
differential I/O pair appear together in the table. The table also shows the pin number for each pin and the pin type, as
defined earlier.
An electronic version of this package pinout table and footprint diagram is available for download from the Xilinx website at
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_ sheets/s3_pin.zip.

FG456: 456-lead Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array

The 456-lead fine-pitch ball grid array package, FG456, supports four different Spartan-3 devices, including the XC3S400,
the XC3S1000, the XC3S1500, and the XC3S2000. The footprints for the XC3S1000, the XC3S1500, and the XC3S2000
are identical, as shown in Table 100 and Figure 51. The XC3S400, however, has fewer I/O pins which consequently results
in 69 unconnected pins on the FG456 package, labeled as “N.C.” In Table 100 and Figure 51, these unconnected pins are
indicated with a black diamond symbol ().
All the package pins appear in Table 100 and are sorted by bank number, then by pin name. Pairs of pins that form a
differential I/O pair appear together in the table. The table also shows the pin number for each pin and the pin type, as
defined earlier.
If there is a difference between the XC3S400 pinout and the pinout for the XC3S1000, the XC3S1500, or the XC3S2000,
then that difference is highlighted in Table 100. If the table entry is shaded grey, then there is an unconnected pin on the
XC3S400 that maps to a user-I/O pin on the XC3S1000, XC3S1500, and XC3S2000. If the table entry is shaded tan, then
the unconnected pin on the XC3S400 maps to a VREF-type pin on the XC3S1000, the XC3S1500, or the XC3S2000. If the
other VREF pins in the bank all connect to a voltage reference to support a special I/O standard, then also connect the N.C.
pin on the XC3S400 to the same VREF voltage. This provides maximum flexibility as you could potentially migrate a design
from the XC3S400 device to an XC3S1000, an XC3S1500, or an XC3S2000 FPGA without changing the printed circuit
board.
An electronic version of this package pinout table and footprint diagram is available for download from the Xilinx website at
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_ sheets/s3_pin.zip.

User I/Os by Bank

Table 101 indicates how the available user-I/O pins are distributed between the eight I/O banks for the XC3S400 in the
FG456 package. Similarly, Table 102 shows how the available user-I/O pins are distributed between the eight I/O banks for
the XC3S1000, XC3S1500, and XC3S2000 in the FG456 package.

FG676: 676-lead Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array

The 676-lead fine-pitch ball grid array package, FG676, supports five different Spartan-3 devices, including the XC3S1000,
XC3S1500, XC3S2000, XC3S4000, and XC3S5000. All five have nearly identical footprints but are slightly different,
primarily due to unconnected pins on the XC3S1000 and XC3S1500. For example, because the XC3S1000 has fewer I/O
pins, this device has 98 unconnected pins on the FG676 package, labeled as “N.C.” In Table 103 and Figure 53, these
unconnected pins are indicated with a black diamond symbol (). The XC3S1500, however, has only two unconnected pins,
also labeled “N.C.” in the pinout table but indicated with a black square symbol ().
All the package pins appear in Table 103 and are sorted by bank number, then by pin name. Pairs of pins that form a
differential I/O pair appear together in the table. The table also shows the pin number for each pin and the pin type, as
defined earlier.
If there is a difference between the XC3S1000, XC3S1500, XC3S2000, XC3S4000, and XC3S5000 pinouts, then that
difference is highlighted in Table 103. If the table entry is shaded grey, then there is an unconnected pin on either the
XC3S1000 or XC3S1500 that maps to a user-I/O pin on the XC3S2000, XC3S4000, and XC3S5000. If the table entry is
shaded tan, then the unconnected pin on either the XC3S1000 or XC3S1500 maps to a VREF-type pin on the XC3S2000,
XC3S4000, and XC3S5000. If the other VREF pins in the bank all connect to a voltage reference to support a special I/O
standard, then also connect the N.C. pin on the XC3S1000 or XC3S1500 to the same VREF voltage. This provides
maximum flexibility as you could potentially migrate a design from the XC3S1000 through to the XC3S5000 FPGA without
changing the printed circuit board.
An electronic version of this package pinout table and footprint diagram is available for download from the Xilinx website at
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_ sheets/s3_pin.zip.

Notes:
1. XC3S1500 balls D25 and F25 are not VREF pins although they are designated as such. If a design uses an IOSTANDARD requiring VREF in bank
2 then apply the workaround in Answer Record 20519.
2. XC3S4000 is pin compatible with XC3S2000 but uses alternate differential pair labeling on six package balls (H20, H21, H22, H23, H24, J21).
3. XC3S5000 is pin compatible with XC3S4000 but uses alternate differential pair functionality on fifteen package balls (A3, A8, B8, B18, C4, C8, C18,
D8, D18, E8, E18, H23, H24, AB9, and AC9).

User I/Os by Bank

Table 104 indicates how the available user-I/O pins are distributed between the eight I/O banks for the XC3S1000 in the
FG676 package. Similarly, Table 105 shows how the available user-I/O pins are distributed between the eight I/O banks for
the XC3S1500 in the FG676 package. Finally, Table 106 shows the same information for the XC3S2000, XC3S4000, and
XC3S5000 in the FG676 package.

FG900: 900-lead Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array

The 900-lead fine-pitch ball grid array package, FG900, supports three different Spartan-3 devices, including the
XC3S2000, the XC3S4000, and the XC3S5000. The footprints for the XC3S4000 and XC3S5000 are identical, as shown in
Table 107 and Figure 55. The XC3S2000, however, has fewer I/O pins which consequently results in 68 unconnected pins
on the FG900 package, labeled as “N.C.” In Table 107 and Figure 55, these unconnected pins are indicated with a black
diamond symbol ().
All the package pins appear in Table 107 and are sorted by bank number, then by pin name. Pairs of pins that form a
differential I/O pair appear together in the table. The table also shows the pin number for each pin and the pin type, as
defined earlier.
If there is a difference between the XC3S2000 pinout and the pinout for the XC3S4000 and XC3S5000, then that difference
is highlighted in Table 107. If the table entry is shaded, then there is an unconnected pin on the XC3S2000 that maps to a
user-I/O pin on the XC3S4000 and XC3S5000.
An electronic version of this package pinout table and footprint diagram is available for download from the Xilinx website at
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_ sheets/s3_pin.zip.

FG1156: 1156-lead Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array

Note: The FG(G)1156 package is discontinued. See
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/spartan-3_customer_notices.htm.
The 1,156-lead fine-pitch ball grid array package, FG1156, supports two different Spartan-3 devices, namely the XC3S4000
and the XC3S5000. The XC3S4000, however, has fewer I/O pins, which consequently results in 73 unconnected pins on the
FG1156 package, labeled as “N.C.” In Table 110 and Figure 53, these unconnected pins are indicated with a black diamond
symbol ().
The XC3S5000 has a single unconnected package pin, ball AK31, which is also unconnected for the XC3S4000.
All the package pins appear in Table 110 and are sorted by bank number, then by pin name. Pairs of pins that form a
differential I/O pair appear together in the table. The table also shows the pin number for each pin and the pin type, as
defined earlier.
On ball L29 in I/O Bank 2, the unconnected pin on the XC3S4000 maps to a VREF-type pin on the XC3S5000. If the other
VREF_2 pins all connect to a voltage reference to support a special I/O standard, then also connect the N.C. pin on the
XC3S4000 to the same VREF_2 voltage.

footprint diagram (Figure 44). Updated Table 85 with final I/O counts for the VQ100 package. Also added
final differential I/O pair counts for the TQ144 package. Added clarifying comments to HSWAP_EN pin
description on page 119. Updated the footprint diagram for the FG900 package shown in Figure 55a and
Figure 55b. Some thick lines separating I/O banks were incorrect. Made cosmetic changes to Figure 40,
Figure 42, and Figure 43. Updated Xilinx hypertext links. Added XC3S200 and XC3S400 to Pin Name
column in Table 91.
05/12/2003 1.1.1 AM32 pin was missing GND label in FG1156 package diagram (Figure 53).
07/11/2003 1.1.2 Corrected misspellings of GCLK in Table 69 and Table 70. Changed CMOS25 to LVCMOS25 in
Dual-Purpose Pin I/O Standard During Configuration section. Clarified references to Module 2. For
XC3S5000 in FG1156 package, corrected N.C. symbol to a black square in Table 110, key, and package
drawing.
07/29/2003 1.2 Corrected pin names on FG1156 package. Some package balls incorrectly included LVDS pair names.
The affected balls on the FG1156 package include G1, G2, G33, G34, U9, U10, U25, U26, V9, V10, V25,
V26, AH1, AH2, AH33, AH34. The number of LVDS pairs is unaffected. Modified affected balls and
re-sorted rows in Table 110. Updated affected balls in Figure 53. Also updated ASCII and Excel electronic
versions of FG1156 pinout.
08/19/2003 1.2.1 Removed 100 MHz ConfigRate option in CCLK: Configuration Clock section and in Table 80. Added note
that TDO is a totem-pole output in Table 77.
10/09/2003 1.2.2 Some pins had incorrect bank designations and were improperly sorted in Table 93. No pin names or
functions changed. Renamed DCI_IN to DCI and added black diamond to N.C. pins in Table 93. In
Figure 47, removed some extraneous text from pin 106 and corrected spelling of pins 45, 48, and 81.
12/17/2003 1.3 Added FG320 pin tables and pinout diagram (FG320: 320-lead Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array). Made cosmetic
changes to the TQ144 footprint (Figure 46), the PQ208 footprint (Figure 47), the FG676 footprint
(Figure 53), and the FG900 footprint (Figure 55). Clarified wording in Precautions When Using the JTAG
Port in 3.3V Environments section.
02/27/2004 1.4 Clarified wording in Using JTAG Port After Configuration section. In Table 81, reduced package height for
FG320 and increased maximum I/O values for the FG676, FG900, and FG1156 packages.
07/13/2004 1.5 Added information on lead-free (Pb-free) package options to the Package Overview section plus Table 81
and Table 83. Clarified the VRN_# reference resistor requirements for I/O standards that use single
termination as described in the DCI Termination Types section and in Figure 42b. Graduated from
Advance Product Specification to Product Specification.
08/24/2004 1.5.1 Removed XC3S2000 references from FG1156: 1156-lead Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array.
01/17/2005 1.6 Added XC3S50 in CP132 package option. Added XC3S2000 in FG456 package option. Added
XC3S4000 in FG676 package option. Added Selecting the Right Package Option section. Modified or
added Table 81, Table 83, Table 84, Table 85, Table 89, Table 90, Table 100, Table 102, Table 103,
Table 106, Figure 45, and Figure 53.
08/19/2005 1.7 Removed term “weak” from the description of pull-up and pull-down resistors. Added IDCODE Register
values. Added signal integrity precautions to CCLK: Configuration Clock and indicated that CCLK should
be treated as an I/O during Master mode in Table 79.
04/03/2006 2.0 Added Package Thermal Characteristics. Updated Figure 41 to make it a more obvious example. Added
detail about which pins have dedicated pull-up resistors during configuration, regardless of the
HSWAP_EN value to Table 70 and to Pin Behavior During Configuration. Updated Precautions When
Using the JTAG Port in 3.3V Environments.
04/26/2006 2.1 Corrected swapped data row in Table 86. The Theta-JA with zero airflow column was swapped with the
Theta-JC column. Made additional notations on CONFIG and JTAG pins that have pull-up resistors during
configuration, regardless of the HSWAP_EN input.
