Pinout Descriptions
The XC3S250E FPGA in the FT256 package has 18 uncon-
nected balls, labeled with an “N.C.” type. These pins are
also indicated with the black diamond (ꢄ) symbol in
Figure 86.
User I/Os by Bank
Table 144, Table 145, and Table 146 indicate how the avail-
able user-I/O pins are distributed between the four I/O
banks on the FT256 package.
