Spartan-3 FPGA Family: Pinout Descriptions
DS099 (v3.1) June 27, 2013
Product Specification
108
I/Os with Lxxy_# are part of a differential output pair. ‘L’ indicates differential output capability. The “xx” field is a two-digit
integer, unique to each bank that identifies a differential pin-pair. The ‘y’ field is either ‘P’ for the true signal or ‘N’ for the
inverted signal in the differential pair. The ‘#’ field is the I/O bank number.
Pin Definitions
Table 70 provides a brief description of each pin listed in the Spartan-3 FPGA pinout tables and package footprint diagrams.
VREF
Dual-purpose pin that is either a user-I/O pin or, along with all other VREF pins in
the same bank, provides a reference voltage input for certain I/O standards. If used
for a reference voltage within a bank, all VREF pins within the bank must be
connected.
IO/VREF_#
IO_Lxxy_#/VREF_#
GND
Dedicated ground pin. The number of GND pins depends on the package used. All
must be connected.
GND
VCCAUX
Dedicated auxiliary power supply pin. The number of VCCAUX pins depends on the
package used. All must be connected to +2.5V.
VCCAUX
VCCINT
Dedicated internal core logic power supply pin. The number of VCCINT pins
depends on the package used. All must be connected to +1.2V.
VCCINT
VCCO
Dedicated I/O bank, output buffer power supply pin. Along with other VCCO pins in
the same bank, this pin supplies power to the output buffers within the I/O bank and
sets the input threshold voltage for some I/O standards.
VCCO_#
CP132 and TQ144 Packages Only:
VCCO_LEFT, VCCO_TOP,
VCCO_RIGHT, VCCO_BOTTOM
GCLK
Dual-purpose pin that is either a user-I/O pin or an input to a specific global buffer
input. Every package has eight dedicated GCLK pins.
IO_Lxxy_#/GCLK0,
IO_Lxxy_#/GCLK1,
IO_Lxxy_#/GCLK2,
IO_Lxxy_#/GCLK3,
IO_Lxxy_#/GCLK4,
IO_Lxxy_#/GCLK5,
IO_Lxxy_#/GCLK6,
IO_Lxxy_#/GCLK7
N.C.
This package pin is not connected in this specific device/package combination but
may be connected in larger devices in the same package.

Notes:
1.
# = I/O bank number, an integer between 0 and 7.
