XC3S250E-4FTG256I Spartan-3E FPGA IC 172 221184 5508 256-LBGA
The XC3S250E-4FTG256I is a member of the AMD (formerly Xilinx) Spartan-3E family, a cost-optimized 90nm Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-volume, logic-intensive applications. It features 4,320 logic cells, equivalent to approximately 250,000 system gates, and provides a balanced mix of resources including 2,160 slices (each with two 4-input LUTs and two flip-flops), 216 Kbits of distributed and block RAM, and 12 dedicated 18x18 multipliers for embedded digital signal processing. Operating with a core voltage of 1.2V and I/O voltages ranging from 1.2V to 3.3V, it supports a wide array of single-ended and differential I/O standards.
XC3S250E-4FTG256I FPGA Applications
This FPGA is widely deployed in applications requiring significant glue logic integration, digital interfacing, and moderate signal processing, such as in industrial motor control units, automotive infotainment and driver information systems, consumer display controllers and set-top boxes, and communication equipment for protocol bridging and interface management. Its cost-effectiveness and ample I/O also make it a popular choice for medical diagnostic interfaces, point-of-sale terminals, and various embedded processing systems where custom logic and parallel processing capabilities are needed without the expense of an ASIC.
