Spartan Series FPGAs Introducing the Xilinx Spartan Series

Spartan Series FPGAs

Introducing the Xilinx Spartan Series w New Xilinx solution for high-volume applications w No compromises l Performance, RAM, Cores, and Low Price w Advanced process technology leap w XC 4000 heritage l l Powerful software tools Most successful FPGA architecture w Total cost management

No Compromises w High performance w On-chip Select. RAM memory w CORE solutions available l PCI Logi. CORE + Alliance. CORE solutions w Complete software solutions available w Lowest cost w Addresses key needs of high volume logic users

Total Cost Management Relative Cost 4 1993 3 Assembly Test Silicon 1995 1996 2 1997 Majority of cost is back end (assembly, test, overhead) 1 0 0. 6 u FPGA 2 LM 0. 6 u FPGA 3 LM 0. 5 u FPGA 3 LM Advanced 0. 5 u FPGA Spartan Series addresses all aspects of cost

Total Cost Management w Leading edge process technology l Smallest die size of any FPGA with on-chip RAM w Focused package offering l Low-power architecture allows use of highest volume plastic packages w Streamlined test flow l Lower cost test hardware, built-in self-test features, shorter test times w Optimized manufacturing flows

Priced for High-Volume Leadership 200 K Density (System Gates) New Applications • Set Top Box • DVD • Digital Camera • PC Peripherals • Consumer Electronics 100 K 60 K 25 K 40 K 10 K Gates/$ in 2002! 15 K 1997 1998 100 K unit volume price projections 1999 2000 2001 2002

Spartan Naming w Logic cells are the best comparison metric w Spartan part name uses “System Gates” l l l Includes both RAM and Logic Matches ASIC industry terminology Consistent with future FPGA families XCS##XL-3 PC 84 C XCS = Spartan ## = System Gates XL = 3. 3 Volt no XL = 5 Volt
