Spartan-6 FPGA Data Sheet:

DC and Switching Characteristics
DS162 (v2.0) March 31, 2011 Preliminary Product Specification

Spartan-6 FPGA Electrical Characteristics

Spartan®-6 LX FPGAs are available in -3, -3N, -2, and -1L speed grades, with -3 having the highest performance.
Spartan-6 LXT FPGAs are available in -3, -3N, and -2 speed grades, with -3 having the highest performance.
Spartan-6 FPGA DC and AC characteristics are specified for both commercial and industrial grades. Except the operating
temperature range or unless otherwise noted, all the DC and AC electrical parameters are the same for a particular speed
grade (that is, the timing characteristics of a -2 speed grade industrial device are the same as for a -2 speed grade
commercial device). However, only selected speed grades and/or devices might be available in the industrial range. The
Spartan-6 FPGA -3N speed grade designates devices that do not support MCB functionality.
All supply voltage and junction temperature specifications are representative of worst-case conditions. The parameters
included are common to popular designs and typical applications.
This Spartan-6 FPGA data sheet, part of an overall set of documentation on the Spartan-6 family of FPGAs, is available on
the Xilinx website.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.

Notes:
1. All voltages are relative to ground.
2. See Interface Performances for Memory Interfaces in Table 25. The standard VCCINT voltage range applies to designs not using an MCB, or to
devices that do not support MCB functionality including the LX4 device, the TQG144 and CPG196 packages, and the -3N speed grade.
3. Recommended maximum voltage droop for VCCAUX is 10 mV/ms.
4. During configuration, if VCCO_2 is 1.8V, then VCCAUX must be 2.5V.
5. The -1L devices require VCCAUX = 2.5V when using the LVDS_25, LVDS_33, BLVDS_25, LVPECL_25, RSDS_25, RSDS_33, PPDS_25,
and PPDS_33 I/O standards on inputs. LVPECL_33 is not supported in the -1L devices.
6. Configuration data is retained even if VCCO drops to 0V.
7. Includes VCCO of 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V.
8. For PCI systems, the transmitter and receiver should have common supplies for VCCO.
9. Devices with a -1L speed grade do not support Xilinx PCI IP.
10. Do not exceed a total of 100 mA per bank.
11. VBATT is required to maintain the battery backed RAM (BBR) AES key when VCCAUX is not applied. Once VCCAUX is applied, VBATT can be
unconnected. When BBR is not used, Xilinx recommends connecting to VCCAUX or GND. However, VBATT can be unconnected.

Quiescent Current
Typical values for quiescent supply current are specified at nominal voltage, 25°C junction temperatures (Tj). Quiescent
supply current is specified by speed grade for Spartan-6 devices. Xilinx recommends analyzing static power consumption
using the XPOWER™ Estimator (XPE) tool (download at http://www.xilinx.com/power) for conditions other than those
specified in Table 5.

Notes:
1. Typical values are specified at nominal voltage, 25°C junction temperatures (Tj). Industrial (I) grade devices have the same typical values as
commercial (C) grade devices at 25°C, but higher values at 100°C. Use the XPE tool to calculate 100°C values.
Nominal VCCINT is 1.20V; use the XPE tool to calculate 1.23V values for the nominal VCCINT of the extended MCB performance range.
2. Typical values are for blank configured devices with no output current loads, no active input pull-up resistors, all I/O pins are 3-state and floating.
3. If differential signaling is used, more accurate quiescent current estimates can be obtained by using the XPOWER Estimator (XPE) or XPOWER
Analyzer (XPA) tools.

Table 6: Power Supply Ramp Time

Symbol Description Speed Grade Ramp Time Units

VCCO2(1) Output drivers bank 2 supply voltage ramp time All 0.20 to 50.0 ms
VCCAUXR Auxiliary supply voltage ramp time All 0.20 to 50.0 ms

Notes:
1. The minimum VCCO2 for power-on reset and configuration is 1.65V
2. Spartan-6 FPGAs require a certain amount of supply current during power-on to insure proper device initialization. The actual current consumed
depends on the power-on ramp rate of the power supply. Use the XPOWER Estimator (XPE) or XPOWER Analyzer (XPA) tools to estimate current
drain on these supplies. Spartan-6 devices do not have a required power-on sequence.

Production Silicon and ISE Software Status

In some cases, a particular family member (and speed grade) is released to production before a speed specification is
released with the correct label (Advance, Preliminary, Production). Any labeling discrepancies are corrected in subsequent
speed specification releases. Table 27 lists the production released Spartan-6 family member, speed grade, and the
minimum corresponding supported speed specification version and ISE® software revisions. The ISE software and speed
specifications listed are the minimum releases required for production. All subsequent releases of software and speed
specifications are valid.

FPGA Output RREF Parameters VREF, RREF, CREF, and VMEAS fully describe
the test conditions for each I/O standard. The most accurate
prediction of propagation delay in any given application can
be obtained through IBIS simulation, using the following
VMEAS
(voltage level when taking method:
delay measurement)
1. Simulate the output driver of choice into the generalized

(probe capacitance) test setup, using values from Table 31.
2. Record the time to VMEAS .

Simultaneously Switching Outputs

Due to lead inductance, a given package supports a limited number of simultaneous switching outputs (SSOs) when using
fast, high-drive outputs. Table 32 and Table 33 provide guidelines for the recommended maximum allowable number of
SSOs. These guidelines describe the maximum number of user I/O pins of an output signal standard that should
simultaneously switch in the same direction, while maintaining a safe level of switching noise for that particular signal
standard. Meeting these guidelines for the stated test conditions ensures that the FPGA operates free from the adverse
effects of GND and power bounce.
For each device/package combination, Table 32 provides the number of equivalent VCCO/GND pairs per bank. For each
output signal standard and drive strength, Table 33 recommends the maximum number of SSOs, switching in the same
direction, allowed per VCCO/GND pair within an I/O bank. The guidelines are categorized by package style, slew rate, and
output drive current. The number of SSOs are also specified by I/O bank. Multiply the appropriate numbers from each table
to calculate the maximum number of SSOs allowed within an I/O bank. The guidelines assume that all pins within a bank use
the same I/O standard. Exceeding these SSO guidelines can result in increased power or GND bounce, degraded signal
integrity, or increased system jitter. For a given I/O standard, if the SSO limit per pair in Table 33 is greater than the maximum
I/O per pair in Table 32, then there is no SSO limit for the exclusive use of that I/O standard.
The recommended maximum SSO values assume that the FPGA is soldered on a printed circuit board and that the board
uses sound design practices. Due to the additional lead inductance introduced by the socket, the SSO values do not apply
for FPGAs mounted in sockets. The SSO values assume that the VCCAUX is powered at 3.3V. Setting VCCAUX to 2.5V
provides better SSO characteristics. For more detail, see the Spartan-6 FPGA SelectIO Resources User Guide.

Notes:
1. SSO limits greater than the number of I/O per VCCO/GND pair (Table 32) indicate No Limit for the given I/O standard. They are provided in
this table to calculate limits when using multiple I/O standards in a bank.
2. Not available (N/A) indicates that the I/O standard is not available in the given bank.
3. When used with the MCB, these signals are exempt from SSO analysis due to the known activity of the MCB switching patterns. SSO
performance is validated for all MCB instances. MCB outputs can, in some cases, exceed the SSO limits.

Notes:
1. Delay depends on IODELAY2 tap setting. See TRACE report for actual values.
2. Maximum delay = integer (number of taps/8)  TTAP8 + TTAPn (where n equals the remainder). For minimum delay consult the TRACE setup
and hold report. Minimum delay is greater than 30% of the maximum delay. Tap delays can vary by device. See TRACE report for actual
values.
3. Spartan-6 -1L devices only support tap 0.

Notes:
1. DLL specifications apply when using any of the DLL outputs: CLK0, CLK90, CLK180, CLK270, CLK2X, CLK2X180, or CLKDV.
2. When operating independently of the DLL, the DFS supports lower CLKIN_FREQ_DLL frequencies. See Table 53.
3. The CLKIN_DIVIDE_BY_2 attribute increases the effective input frequency range. When set to TRUE, the input clock frequency is divided by two as
it enters the DCM. Input clock frequencies for the clock buffer being used can be increased up to the FMAX (see Table 47 and Table 48 for BUFG and
BUFIO2 limits). When used with CLK_FEEDBACK=2X, the input clock frequency matches the frequency for CLK2X, and is limited to
CLKOUT_FREQ_2X.
4. CLKIN_FREQ_DLL input jitter beyond these limits can cause the DCM to lose LOCK, indicated by the LOCKED output deasserting. The user must
then reset the DCM.
5. When using both DCMs in a CMT, both DCMs must be LOCKED.

2. Indicates the maximum amount of output jitter that the DCM adds to the jitter on the CLKIN input.
3. For optimal jitter tolerance and faster LOCK time, use the CLKIN_PERIOD attribute.
4. Some jitter and duty-cycle specifications include 1% of input clock period or 0.01 UI. For example, this data sheet specifies a maximum jitter of
±(1% of CLKIN period + 150 ps). Assuming that the CLKIN frequency is 100 MHz, the equivalent CLKIN period is 10 ns. Since 1% of 10 ns is 0.1 ns
or 100 ps, the maximum jitter is ±(100 ps + 150 ps) = ±250 ps.
5. A typical delay step size is 23 ps.

Notes:
1. DFS specifications apply when using either of the DFS outputs (CLKFX or CLKFX180).
2. When using both DFS and DLL outputs on the same DCM, follow the more restrictive CLKIN_FREQ_DLL specifications in Table 51.
3. The CLKIN_DIVIDE_BY_2 attribute increases the effective input frequency range. When set to TRUE, the input clock frequency is divided by two as
it enters the DCM. Input clock frequencies for the clock buffer being used can be increased up to the FMAX (see Table 47 and Table 48 for BUFG and
BUFIO2 limits).
4. CLKIN input jitter beyond these limits can cause the DCM to lose LOCK.

Notes:
1. The values in this table are based on the operating conditions described in Table 2 and Table 53.
2. For optimal jitter tolerance and a faster LOCK time, use the CLKIN_PERIOD attribute.
3. Output jitter is characterized with no input jitter. Output jitter strongly depends on the environment, including the number of SSOs, the output drive
strength, CLB utilization, CLB switching activities, switching frequency, power supply, and PCB design. The actual maximum output jitter depends on
the system application.
4. The CLKFX, CLKFXDV, and CLKFX180 outputs have a duty cycle of approximately 50%.
5. Some duty cycle and alignment specifications include a percentage of the CLKFX output period. For example, this data sheet specifies a maximum
CLKFX jitter of ±(1% of CLKFX period + 200 ps). Assuming that the CLKFX output frequency is 100 MHz, the equivalent CLKFX period is 10 ns, and
1% of 10 ns is 0.1 ns or 100 ps. Accordingly, the maximum jitter is ±(100 ps + 200 ps) = ±300 ps.

1. Setup and Hold times are measured over worst case conditions (process, voltage, temperature). Setup time is measured relative to the Global Clock
input signal using the slowest process, highest temperature, and lowest voltage. Hold time is measured relative to the Global Clock input signal using
the fastest process, lowest temperature, and highest voltage. These measurements include DCM CLK0 jitter.
2. IFF = Input Flip-Flop or Latch
3. Use IBIS to determine any duty-cycle distortion incurred using various standards.

Notes:
1. LXT devices are not available with a -1L speed grade. The LX4 is not available in -3N speed grade.
2. These parameters represent the worst-case duty cycle distortion observable at the pins of the device using LVDS output buffers. For cases where
other I/O standards are used, IBIS can be used to calculate any additional duty cycle distortion that might be caused by asymmetrical rise/fall times.
3. The TCKSKEW value represents the worst-case clock-tree skew observable between sequential I/O elements. Significantly less clock-tree skew exists
for I/O registers that are close to each other and fed by the same or adjacent clock-tree branches. Use the Xilinx FPGA Editor and Timing Analyzer
tools to evaluate clock skew specific to your application.
