Spartan-3E FPGA Family: Introduction and Ordering Information

Ordering Information
Spartan-3E FPGAs are available in both standard and
Pb-free packaging options for all device/package
combinations. All devices are available in Pb-free packages,
which adds a ‘G’ character to the ordering code. All devices
are available in either Commercial (C) or Industrial (I)
temperature ranges. Both the standard –4 and faster –5
speed grades are available for the Commercial temperature
range. However, only the –4 speed grade is available for the
Industrial temperature range. See
Table 2 for valid
device/package combinations.
Production Stepping
The Spartan-3E FPGA family uses production stepping to
indicate improved capabilities or enhanced features.
Stepping 1 is, by definition, a functional superset of
Stepping 0. Furthermore, configuration bitstreams
generated for any stepping are forward compatible. See
Xilinx has shipped both Stepping 0 and Stepping 1. Designs
operating on the Stepping 0 devices perform similarly on a
Stepping 1 device. Stepping 1 devices have been shipping
since 2006. The faster speed grade (-5), Industrial (I grade),
Automotive devices, and -4C devices with date codes 0901
(2009) and later, are always Stepping 1 devices. Only -4C
devices have shipped as Stepping 0 devices.
To specify only the later stepping for the -4C, append an S#
suffix to the standard ordering code, where # is the stepping
The stepping level is optionally marked on the device using
