XC3S50A-4FT256C 개요

AMD XC3S50A-4FT256C is a Spartan-3A field-programmable gate array with approximately 50,000 logic gates, 144 user I/O, and a 256-pin fine-pitch ball grid array package. The device operates from a 1.14 V to 1.26 V core-voltage range and is identified as a last-time-buy product. Its 4 speed grade supports cost-sensitive programmable logic applications where a compact, nonvolatile FPGA implementation is preferable to a fixed-function logic device.

A field-programmable gate array is a semiconductor whose digital logic, interconnect, and input/output functions are configured after manufacture. Within the FPGA hierarchy, the Spartan-3A family belongs to the low-to-medium-density programmable-logic segment. The XC3S50A combines approximately 50,000 gates, 144 I/O, and a 256-ball FTBGA package in a surface-mount device suitable for compact embedded control, interface, data-capture, and industrial automation equipment.

The available specifications identify 144 user I/O, a 1.14 V to 1.26 V core-voltage range, and an approximate gate count of 50,000. These resources support parallel control logic, protocol interfaces, glue logic, and modest embedded processing systems. The C suffix identifies the commercial product variant, while the -4 portion denotes the device speed grade. Detailed RAM, clock, configuration, and I/O standards were not present in the supplied verified data and must be confirmed from the AMD Spartan-3A family datasheet before design release.

The XC3S50A-4FT256C is supplied in tray packaging according to the available product listing. Its 256-pin fine-pitch BGA format creates a compact land pattern but requires careful PCB layout, via-in-pad or via-under-bump considerations, and assembly processes capable of handling closely spaced balls. Signal-integrity, power-delivery, thermal, and exact package-dimension guidance should be taken directly from the AMD DS529 family document and the device pinout information.

Typical uses include industrial automation controllers, instrumentation, embedded communications, consumer interfaces, and cost-sensitive control systems. Because the part is listed as last time buy, new production should include lifecycle review, planned end-of-life inventory, and a qualified second source. Lead time is listed as 12 weeks, making procurement planning essential for designs that cannot tolerate a supply interruption.

Design engineers should verify the exact pinout, supported I/O standards, configuration interface, memory resources, and power requirements in the AMD Spartan-3A family datasheet before layout release. This page consolidates the supplied distributor data, lifecycle information, pricing references, drop-in family variants, and practical implementation considerations to support engineering selection.

🏭

Industrial Automation Controllers

XC3S50A-4FT256C fits compact industrial automation controllers that require deterministic programmable logic, 144 user I/O, and approximately 50,000 gates in a 256-pin FTBGA package. The 4 speed grade can support control, sequencing, and interface logic when the design meets its timing constraints. The commercial C designation and unspecified operating-temperature limits mean the exact device suffix should be verified for harsh industrial environments. A production design should also plan for Last Time Buy availability rather than assuming indefinite supply.

📺

Data Acquisition and Signal Conditioning

XC3S50A-4FT256C can implement parallel data acquisition, filtering, and sensor-interface control where 144 I/O and approximately 50,000 logic gates are sufficient. The 256-ball FTBGA package supports compact integration, but high-speed analog-to-digital interfaces must remain within the I/O and timing capabilities documented in AMD DS529. Place sensitive analog circuitry separately from the FPGA and use controlled return paths for digital interfaces. Because the provided data does not specify supported I/O standards or maximum data rates, both must be confirmed before architecture selection.

🌐

Embedded Communications Interface

XC3S50A-4FT256C is suitable for communication bridges, protocol converters, and embedded interface modules whose data paths fit within 144 I/O and the available logic budget. A compact 256-pin FTBGA allows the programmable interface to coexist with processors and transceivers on a multilayer PCB. Implementation should use short, impedance-controlled routes for high-speed interfaces and isolate clocks from sensitive signals. The exact supported I/O standards, clocking limits, and timing performance were not supplied and must be established from the AMD family datasheet.

📱

Consumer and Instrumentation Interfaces

XC3S50A-4FT256C can consolidate display controls, key scanning, status logic, and peripheral interfaces in consumer products or portable instruments. Its approximately 50,000-gate capacity and 144 I/O make it most appropriate for control-plane logic rather than computationally intensive processing. The 256-pin FTBGA footprint requires assembly-capable PCB design and careful ball-escape routing. Product teams should verify operating-temperature requirements, since the supplied information identifies the target as a commercial C-grade Last Time Buy device without providing the full temperature range.

🔧

Programmable Control and Glue Logic

XC3S50A-4FT256C is appropriate for programmable glue logic that coordinates processors, memories, sensors, and actuators in a compact embedded system. Its 144 I/O and approximately 50,000 gates offer meaningful integration density while preserving the flexibility of FPGA configuration. The -4 speed grade should be checked against every timing path using the intended tool version and device model. Because the component is a Last Time Buy part with a listed 12-week lead time, teams should secure inventory and document a migration plan before committing new production volumes.

✈️

Aerospace and Defense Test Equipment

XC3S50A-4FT256C may be evaluated for programmable test and instrumentation systems where 50,000 gates, 144 I/O, and a compact BGA package meet functional requirements. Qualification, temperature range, radiation exposure, and long-term supply must be established separately; none of those claims can be inferred from the commercial C suffix. The 12-week listed lead time and Last Time Buy status make this unsuitable for programs that assume broad lifecycle continuity without a controlled procurement strategy. AMD DS529 and the applicable program requirements remain controlling sources.

What is AMD XC3S50A-4FT256C?
AMD XC3S50A-4FT256C is a Spartan-3A field-programmable gate array with approximately 50,000 logic gates, 144 user I/O, and a 256-pin fine-pitch BGA package. According to the AMD Spartan-3A family datasheet DS529, the device belongs to the Spartan-3A low-to-medium-density programmable-logic family. The supplied product data identifies a 1.14 V to 1.26 V core-voltage range, a -4 speed grade, commercial temperature designation, and tray packaging.
How many I/O and logic resources does XC3S50A-4FT256C provide?
XC3S50A-4FT256C provides 144 user I/O and approximately 50,000 logic gates. The verified DigiKey product listing also reports 55,296 logic cells. These figures place the device in the small-to-medium Spartan-3A range rather than the largest members of the family. Exact RAM, slice, and DSP allocations were not included in the supplied data and should be checked in AMD datasheet DS529 before resource budgeting.
Where can I download the XC3S50A-4FT256C datasheet PDF?
The official AMD Spartan-3A FPGA family datasheet is available from the AMD document URL listed on this page. It is identified as DS529 and contains family specifications, device tables, and pin information. The AMD-hosted PDF is preferable to third-party copies because it is the authoritative manufacturer source. Verify the device-specific pin table and package drawings for XC3S50A-4FT256C before releasing the PCB layout.
Where can I find the XC3S50A-4FT256C pinout?
The XC3S50A-4FT256C pinout is published in the AMD Spartan-3A family datasheet DS529, with the 256-pin FTBGA device package identified in the family pin tables. The verified search results provide the family document but not a complete machine-readable list of all 256 ball assignments. Consequently, no individual pin names are asserted here. Use the AMD PDF for the authoritative ball map, power pins, configuration pins, and I/O assignments.
What is the price of XC3S50A-4FT256C?
The supplied LCSC listing shows a starting price of USD 7.4627 for XC3S50A-4FT256C as of 2026-10-30. The quantity tiers on this page retain that verified reference price because no additional quantity-break prices were provided in the source data. This figure should therefore be treated as a starting-price reference rather than a guaranteed quotation at 10, 100, 500, or 1,000 units.
Is XC3S50A-4FT256C in stock, and what is its lead time?
XC3S50A-4FT256C is reported in stock by the supplied distributor listings, with a manufacturer lead time of 12 weeks. The broader Octopart result compares availability and pricing across 21 distributors, while LCSC explicitly identifies an in-stock listing. Because the product is simultaneously marked Last Time Buy, inventory quantity should be confirmed before making a large production commitment.
Where can I buy XC3S50A-4FT256C online?
XC3S50A-4FT256C can be ordered through the distributors represented in the verified data, including LCSC, Mouser, IC-Components, Veswin Electronics, and Microchip-Price.com. The listed starting price is USD 7.4627 as of 2026-10-30. Because this is a Last Time Buy component, compare authorized-distributor inventory, traceability, date codes, and the 12-week manufacturer lead time rather than selecting solely on unit price.
Is XC3S50A-4FT256C still active for new designs?
No. XC3S50A-4FT256C is listed with Last Time Buy product status, so it is not positioned as an unrestricted active lifecycle device. New projects should account for limited future supply and define a migration or end-of-life plan. AMD datasheet DS529 remains the reference for technical details, but production continuity must be confirmed directly with the manufacturer or an authorized distributor.
What is the best drop-in replacement for XC3S50A-4FT256C?
The closest same-footprint choices are verified or same-family Spartan-3A variants that retain the 256-pin FTBGA construction while changing speed or temperature grade. XC3S50A-5FT256C offers a faster -5 grade, while XC3S50A-4FT256I changes the commercial designation to an industrial-grade option. Timing, temperature, procurement status, and device qualification must still be reviewed before substitution; these are not automatically equivalent for production.
Can XC3S50A-5FT256C replace XC3S50A-4FT256C?
XC3S50A-5FT256C can serve as a same-package family alternative to XC3S50A-4FT256C because it retains the 256-pin FTBGA format and differs principally in the -5 speed grade. It does not replace a timing design without review because a faster speed grade can alter internal timing margins, power behavior, and tool timing results. Confirm the exact pinout and rerun timing and power analysis before using it as a drop-in replacement.
When should I choose XC3S50A-4FT256C over a faster Spartan-3A variant?
Choose XC3S50A-4FT256C when its timing performance and documented price are sufficient for the design and no benefit from the higher -5 speed grade can be realized. A -5 device may reduce timing slack or simplify a performance-critical pipeline, but it may also require different power and thermal review. Since the -4 part is a Last Time Buy offering, source availability and migration risk must be weighed alongside nominal speed.
Is XC3S50A-4FT256C suitable for industrial automation?
XC3S50A-4FT256C can be suitable for industrial automation applications that fit within 50,000 gates, 144 I/O, and the documented 1.14 V to 1.26 V core-voltage range. The supplied data marks the target as a commercial C-grade device, however, and does not provide its full operating-temperature range. Industrial availability requirements should therefore favor an explicitly industrial-grade suffix or another Spartan-3A option with verified temperature and qualification data.
What are the key specifications of XC3S50A-4FT256C that engineers should know?
The principal documented facts are approximately 50,000 logic gates, 55,296 logic cells, 144 user I/O, a 1.14 V to 1.26 V core-voltage range, and a 256-pin fine-pitch BGA package. The order code identifies a -4 speed grade and commercial C designation. The component is listed as Last Time Buy, supplied in a tray, RoHS non-compliant, and associated with a 12-week manufacturer lead time.
What can replace XC3S50A-4FT256C?
Same-package replacements for XC3S50A-4FT256C include Spartan-3A speed- and temperature-grade variants such as XC3S50A-5FT256C, XC3S50A-3FT256C, and XC3S50A-4FT256I. These alternatives retain the XC3S50A device and 256-pin FTBGA format, but they change speed or temperature characteristics. Cross-device migration to larger XC3S100A or XC3S200A devices is not automatically drop-in and requires pinout and timing verification.
What is an AMD equivalent for XC3S50A-4FT256C?
AMD does not provide a clearly documented cross-brand, pin-to-pin equivalent in the supplied data. The defensible AMD alternatives are same-family XC3S50A speed- or temperature-grade variants, including XC3S50A-5FT256C and XC3S50A-4FT256I. A competitor FPGA may offer comparable programmable logic but cannot be described as a drop-in replacement without verified package dimensions, ball assignments, power architecture, and tool-compatible configuration support.
What design constraints should be checked for the 256-pin FTBGA layout?
The layout must follow the AMD DS529 package drawing and the exact XC3S50A-4FT256C pin table, including power, ground, configuration, and I/O balls. A 256-ball fine-pitch BGA also requires controlled escape routing, appropriate via geometry, assembly-process compatibility, and a thermal strategy suitable for the board. The supplied data does not include stack-up, via, land-pattern, or thermal values, so these details must not be inferred from a generic BGA rule of thumb.

선택 가이드

Choose XC3S50A-4FT256C when a design fits within approximately 50,000 gates and 144 I/O, requires a 256-pin FTBGA footprint, and can use the -4 speed grade. Its documented 1.14 V to 1.26 V core-voltage range supports the standard Spartan-3A architecture, while the commercial C suffix should be checked against environmental requirements. Select XC3S50A-5FT256C when additional timing margin is useful, and XC3S50A-3FT256C when lower speed is acceptable and sourcing is more favorable. Use an I-suffix variant such as XC3S50A-4FT256I when the temperature-grade designation better matches industrial requirements. Do not assume larger Spartan-3A devices or modern FPGA families are drop-in replacements: they may change resource capacity, ball assignments, configuration, and tool constraints. Because the target is Last Time Buy with a listed 12-week lead time, secure supply and document a migration plan before production release.

설계 노트

Base the land pattern and escape-routing strategy on the exact 256-pin FTBGA drawing in AMD DS529. Do not substitute a generic 256-ball BGA footprint because ball pitch, ball-map orientation, and pad-definition details must match the selected device. Preserve the manufacturer-defined power and ground ball assignments, verify assembly-process compatibility, and conduct signal-integrity simulations on exposed high-speed nets.

Validate the power architecture against the exact device pin table and configuration requirements in AMD DS529. The verified core-voltage range is 1.14 V to 1.26 V, but separate I/O and auxiliary supply requirements were not supplied. Use local bulk and high-frequency decoupling, provide clean return paths, and avoid sharing high-current return paths with sensitive interface references.

Do not treat a same-package ordering-code change as automatically equivalent. Speed grades can change timing and power behavior, while commercial and industrial suffixes can change temperature coverage. Before substitution, update the project device model, recompile and rerun timing analysis, review I/O constraints, confirm lifecycle status, and obtain manufacturer documentation for the selected alternative.

Plan configuration and startup behavior before signal routing because configuration pins and dedicated pins cannot be treated as ordinary user I/O. Keep sensitive interfaces away from power-conversion loops and noisy clock sources, route clocks over continuous reference planes, and account for package escape-routing parasitics. Complete signal-integrity and timing sign-off using the exact -4 device speed model.
