Introduction and Ordering Information
Configuration
Spartan-3E FPGAs are programmed by loading configura-
tion data into robust, reprogrammable, static CMOS config-
uration latches (CCLs) that collectively control all functional
elements and routing resources. The FPGA’s configuration
data is stored externally in a PROM or some other non-vol-
atile medium, either on or off the board. After applying
power, the configuration data is written to the FPGA using
any of seven different modes:
• Master Serial from a Xilinx Platform Flash PROM
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) from an
industry-standard SPI serial Flash
• Byte Peripheral Interface (BPI) Up or Down from an
industry-standard x8 or x8/x16 parallel NOR Flash
• Slave Serial, typically downloaded from a processor
• Slave Parallel, typically downloaded from a processor
• Boundary Scan (JTAG), typically downloaded from a
processor or system tester.
I/O Capabilities
The Spartan-3E FPGA SelectIO interface supports many
popular single-ended and differential standards. Table 2
shows the number of user I/Os as well as the number of dif-
ferential I/O pairs available for each device/package combi-
nation.
Spartan-3E FPGAs support the following single-ended
standards:
• 3.3V, low-voltage TTL, LVTTL
• Low-voltage CMOS (LVCMOS) at 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V,
1.5V, or 1.2V
• 3.3V PCI at 33 MHz and 66 MHz
• HSTL I and III at 1.8V, typically for memory applications
• SSTL I at 1.8V and 2.5V, typically for memory
applications
Spartan-3E FPGAs support the following differential stan-
dards:
• LVDS
• Bus LVDS
• mini-LVDS
• RSDS
