What is Spartan-6 FPGA?

What is Spartan-6 FPGA?

Spartan-6 FPGAs are the programmable silicon foundation for Targeted Design Platforms that deliver integrated software and hardware components that enable designers to focus on innovation as soon as their development cycle begins. Summary of Spartan-6 FPGA Features.

How many logic cells are available in Spartan-6?

The devices deliver expanded densities ranging from 3,840 to 147,443 logic cells, with half the power consumption of previous Spartan families, and faster, more comprehensive connectivity.

Is Spartan 6 obsolete?

Spartan-6 FPGA SP601 Evaluation Kit Final orders accepted until inventory is exhausted or May 17, 2018; whichever occurs first. Final shipments will be until June 17, 2018.

Which is better Xilinx or Altera?

If you study the architectures of the Altera and Xilinx chips, you will probably find Altera chips more interesting and more amenable to subtle optimizations. Xilinx tends to be more technology-oriented and have better links to applications by offering more chips with custom circuits that implement specific functions.

What is Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA?
