XC6SLX16-3CPG196C (FPGA)

 

FPGAs are semiconductor devices that are built together around the matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) coupled using programmable interconnects. Following production, FPGAs can indeed be reprogrammed to meet specific industry or feature requirements. FPGA technology is gaining momentum in a variety of industries, including aerospace and military, automotive, consumer devices, high-performance data and networking processing, multimedia and image processing, wired and wireless communications. Different manufacturer companies are operating in the world. Xilinx, Inc. (WE); Intel Corporation (US); Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (US); Microchip Technology Inc. (US); and Quick Logic Corporation are the top contenders in the FPGA industry (US).XC6SLX16-3CPG196C is FPGA by the Spartan 6 family launched by Xilinx.

The main features of this module are, Logic optimized FPGAs that requires low cost for designing. The performance parameter analysis reveals that the module XC6SLX16-3CPG196C possesses fast RAM blocks,   and enhanced security features such as a unique Device DNA identifier. Important features that can help in choosing XC6SLX16-3CPG196C for the applications

For high-volume applications, the Spartan®-6 series offers superior system integration capabilities at the lowest total cost. The 13 Spartan families has enhanced densities ranging from 3,840 to 147,443 circuitry while consuming half the power of prior Spartan families and providing quicker, more extensive networking. The Spartan-6 series is based on mature 45 nm low-power copper manufacturing techniques that offer the best combination of cost, power, and efficiency. This has a new, more effective dual-register 6-input lookup table (LUT) logic and a wide range of designed system-level blocks. Such qualities proposed a reasonable programmable replacement to specialized ASIC solutions, as well as unparalleled ease of usage. Spartan-6 FPGAs are ideal for high-volume logic designs, consumer-oriented DSP designs, and low-cost electronics. Spartan-6 FPGAs are the programmable silicon basis for Focused Design Platforms, which provide integrated software and hardware components that allow designers to continue to innovate from the start of their development cycle.

The usage of the product is application-specific. It is critical to examine which FPGA setup mode best meets the system's needs while designing an efficient system. Each configuration mode dedicates particular FPGA pins and has to use additional pins temporarily during configuration. When setup is complete, these non-dedicated pins are freed for general usage. Furthermore, the configuration mode can impose voltage constraints on certain FPGA I/O banks. There are several configuration choices available, and while the options are varied, there is frequently an ultimate situation for each system. While determining the appropriate configuration choice, several factors must be considered: total setup, speed, cost, and complexity. The aforementioned factors help in controlling the quality of desired applications. The configuration time is determined by the device's size and the speed of the configuration logic. A Spartan-6 XC6SLX16 FPGA, for example, needs 28 ms to receive its 3.6 Mb of configuration data when configured at 33 MHz with a 4-bit data bus.

The latest version of Spartan 6 with improved and advanced features is available but one should know the system requirements such as cost, efficiency, no of peripherals, and speed of the operation to choose a suitable module.
