AMD / Xilinx Spartan-6 LXT FPGAs
AMD / Xilinx Spartan-6 LXT FPGAs extends LX devices by adding up to eight 3.2Gb/s GTP transceivers and an integrated block for PCI Express®, both derived from proven Virtex® FPGA family technology. The Spartan-6 LXT FPGAs are optimized to provide the industry’s lowest risk and lowest cost solution for serial connectivity. The devices deliver expanded densities ranging from 3,840 to 147,443 logic cells, with half the power consumption of previous Spartan families, and faster, more comprehensive connectivity.
The Spartan-6 LXT family offers an efficient, dual-register 6-input lookup table (LUT) logic and a rich selection of built-in system-level blocks based on a mature 45nm low-power copper process technology that delivers the optimal balance of cost, power, and performance. These built-in system-level blocks include 18Kb (2 x 9Kb) block RAMs, second-generation DSP48A1 slices, SDRAM memory controllers, enhanced mixed-mode clock management blocks, Select IO™ technology, power-optimized high-speed serial transceiver blocks, PCI Express® compatible Endpoint blocks, advanced system-level power management modes, auto-detect configuration options, and enhanced IP security with AES and Device DNA protection.
Additionally, these features offer a low-cost programmable alternative to custom ASIC products with unprecedented ease of use. The Spartan-6 LXT FPGAs have the best solution for high-volume logic designs, consumer-oriented DSP designs, and cost-sensitive embedded applications.
