Spartan®-7 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 150 1658880 23360 225-LFBGA, CSPBGA

General Description

Xilinx® 7 series FPGAs comprise four FPGA families that address the complete range of system requirements, ranging from low cost, small form factor, 

cost-sensitive, high-volume applications to ultra high-end connectivity bandwidth, logic capacity, and signal processing capability for the most demanding 

high-performance applications. The 7 series FPGAs include:

• Spartan®-7 Family: Optimized for low cost, lowest power, and high I/O performance. Available in low-cost, very small form-factor 

packaging for smallest PCB footprint.

• Artix®-7 Family: Optimized for low power applications requiring serial transceivers and high DSP and logic throughput. Provides the lowest 

total bill of materials cost for high-throughput, cost-sensitive applications.

• Kintex®-7 Family: Optimized for best price-performance with a 2X improvement compared to previous generation, enabling a new class 

of FPGAs.

• Virtex®-7 Family: Optimized for highest system performance and capacity with a 2X improvement in system performance. Highest 

capability devices enabled by stacked silicon interconnect (SSI) technology.

Built on a state-of-the-art, high-performance, low-power (HPL), 28 nm, high-k metal gate (HKMG) process technology, 7 series FPGAs enable an 

unparalleled increase in system performance with 2.9 Tb/s of I/O bandwidth, 2 million logic cell capacity, and 5.3 TMAC/s DSP, while consuming 50% less 

power than previous generation devices to offer a fully programmable alternative to ASSPs and ASICs.

supply sensors.

• DSP slices with 25 x 18 multiplier, 48-bit accumulator, and pre-adder for high-performance filtering, including optimized symmetric 

coefficient filtering.

• Powerful clock management tiles (CMT), combining phase-locked loop (PLL) and mixed-mode clock manager (MMCM) blocks for high 

precision and low jitter.

• Quickly deploy embedded processing with MicroBlaze™ processor.

• Integrated block for PCI Express® (PCIe), for up to x8 Gen3 Endpoint and Root Port designs.

• Wide variety of configuration options, including support for commodity memories, 256-bit AES encryption with HMAC/SHA-256 

authentication, and built-in SEU detection and correction.

• Low-cost, wire-bond, bare-die flip-chip, and high signal integrity flipchip packaging offering easy migration between family members in 

the same package. All packages available in Pb-free and selected packages in Pb option.

• Designed for high performance and lowest power with 28 nm, HKMG, HPL process, 1.0V core voltage process technology and

Spartan®-6 LXT Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 250 958464 24051 484-BBGA

Spartan-6 FPGA Electrical Characteristics

Spartan®-6 LX and LXT FPGAs are available in various speed grades, with -3 having the highest performance. The DC and 

AC electrical parameters of the Automotive XA Spartan-6 FPGAs and Defense-grade Spartan-6Q FPGAs devices are 

equivalent to the commercial specifications except where noted. The timing characteristics of the commercial (XC) -2 speed 

grade industrial device are the same as for a -2 speed grade commercial device. The -2Q and -3Q speed grades are 

exclusively for the expanded (Q) temperature range. The timing characteristics are equivalent to those shown for the -2 and 

-3 speed grades for the Automotive and Defense-grade devices.

Spartan-6 FPGA DC and AC characteristics are specified for commercial (C), industrial (I), and expanded (Q) temperature 

ranges. Only selected speed grades and/or devices might be available in the industrial or expanded temperature ranges for 

Automotive and Defense-grade devices. References to device names refer to all available variations of that part number (for 

example, LX75 could denote XC6SLX75, XA6SLX75, or XQ6SLX75). The Spartan-6 FPGA -3N speed grade designates 

devices that do not support MCB functionality.

All supply voltage and junction temperature specifications are representative of worst-case conditions. The parameters 

included are common to popular designs and typical applications.
