Spartan-6

This guide provides information on PCB design for Spartan®-6 devices, with a focus on strategies for making decisions at the PCB and the interface level.

This guide describes the Spartan®-6 FPGA memory controller block, a dedicated embedded multi-port memory controller that greatly simplifies interfacing Spartan-6 FPGAs to the most popular memory standards.

This advance specification includes the tables for device/package combinations and maximum I/Os, pin definitions, pinout tables, pinout diagrams, mechanical drawings, and thermal specifications.

This guide describes the clocking resources available in all Spartan®-6 FPGAs, including the DCMs and PLLs.

This guide describes the SelectIO™ resources available in all Spartan®-6 FPGAs.

This guide describes the usage and implementation of the GTP transceivers available in the Spartan®-6 LXT FPGAs.

This all-encompassing configuration guide includes chapters on configuration interfaces (serial and parallel), multi-bitstream management, bitstream encryption, boundary-scan and JTAG configuration, and reconfiguration techniques.

This guide describes the capabilities of the configurable logic blocks (CLBs) available in all Spartan®-6 FPGAs.

This guide describes the DSP48A1 slice available in Spartan®-6 FPGAs.

This guide describes the Spartan®-6 FPGA block RAM capabilities.

Targeted design platforms are simpler, smarter, and more strategically viable design platforms that offer customers the optimum in flexibility, accessibility, applicability, and time to market.

At 40 and 45 nm process nodes, power has become the primary factor for FPGA selection. Spartan®-6 and Virtex®-6 FPGAs offer lower power, simpler power systems and PCB complexity, better reliability, and lower system cost. This white paper details how Xilinx designed for this new reality in Spartan-6 (45 nm) and Virtex-6 (40 nm) FPGA families, achieving dramatic power reductions over previous generation devices.
