Introduction
Spartan®-3L Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)
consume less static current than corresponding members
of the standard Spartan-3 family. Spartan-3L devices pro-
vide the identical function, features, timing, and pinout of the
original Spartan-3 family. Features include programmable
I/Os, Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), RAM blocks, Digital
Clock Managers (DCMs), and Multiplier blocks.
Another power-saving benefit of the Spartan-3L family
beyond static current reduction is the Hibernate mode,
which lowers device power consumption to the lowest pos-
sible levels. For new designs, consider the Spartan-3A fam-
ily, which offers both Hibernate and Suspend power-saving
modes.
The three-member Spartan-3L family ranges in density
from one to four million system gates and offers as many as
633 I/Os. All devices are specified to meet the –4 speed
grade over the commercial temperature range.
This data sheet explains how the Spartan-3L family is differ-
ent from the Spartan-3 family. For specifications and other
technical information not contained in this document, refer
to the Spartan-3 data sheet (DS099).
