Can the Spartan-XL Device Run at Below 3.0V and/or Above 100°C?

The Spartan-XL family is tested and guaranteed between 3.0V and 3.6V VCC. Industrial devices are tested and guaranteed at up to 100°C junction temperature. Characterization beyond those limits has been performed and we have found that the devices continue to operate as specified to below 2.7V and above 125°C. Xilinx is confident that all Spartan-XL devices will continue to meet functionality and I/O level requirements to 2.7V and 125°C, with VOH and VOL within their specifications relative to VCC. Input thresholds, pull-up resistors, and the configuration clock stay within their specifications.

However, the device will be up to 40% slower at these extended operating conditions. All zero hold times remain at zero. All timing results should be multiplied by 1.4 to generate the expected worst-case value over this extended operating range. These values are not tested or guaranteed.
