Introduction
The Spartan™-3E family of Field-Programmable Gate
Arrays (FPGAs) is specifically designed to meet the needs
of high volume, cost-sensitive consumer electronic applica-
tions. The five-member family offers densities ranging from
100,000 to 1.6 million system gates, as shown in Table 1.
The Spartan-3E family builds on the success of the earlier
Spartan-3 family by increasing the amount of logic per I/O,
significantly reducing the cost per logic cell. New features
improve system performance and reduce the cost of config-
uration. These Spartan-3E enhancements, combined with
advanced 90 nm process technology, deliver more function-
ality and bandwidth per dollar than was previously possible,
setting new standards in the programmable logic industry.
Because of their exceptionally low cost, Spartan-3E FPGAs
are ideally suited to a wide range of consumer electronics
applications, including broadband access, home network-
ing, display/projection, and digital television equipment.
The Spartan-3E family is a superior alternative to mask pro-
grammed ASICs. FPGAs avoid the high initial cost, the
lengthy development cycles, and the inherent inflexibility of
conventional ASICs. Also, FPGA programmability permits
design upgrades in the field with no hardware replacement
necessary, an impossibility with ASICs.
Features
• Very low cost, high-performance logic solution for
high-volume, consumer-oriented applications
• Proven advanced 90-nanometer process technology
• Multi-voltage, multi-standard SelectIO™ interface pins
- Up to 376 I/O pins or 156 differential signal pairs
- LVCMOS, LVTTL, HSTL, and SSTL single-ended
signal standards
- 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, and 1.2V signaling
- 622+ Mb/s data transfer rate per I/O
