Spartan-3E FPGA

Logic-Optimized Platform

The Spartan®-3E platform meets the needs of high volume, cost-sensitive consumer electronic applications such as broadband access, home networking, display/projection, and digital television equipment for gate or logic centric designs.

What’s in Spartan-3E FPGA?

  • Supports commodity serial (SPI) and parallel (BPI) flash memory and Platform Flash
  • Multiboot capabilities with parallel flash
  • Pipelined and cascadable 18 x 18 multipliers
  • Enhanced on-chip differential termination
  • Density migration allows ability to migrate to a larger or smaller device within the same package, without changing the pin out as the design changes
  • Complex DSP algorithms, such as Forward Error Correction (FEC) codecs, filters, for digital communications and imaging applications
  • Up to 9.1 billion multiply and accumulates (MACs) per second
The leading connectivity platform
  • Advanced interfacing supports up to 18 different single-ended and differential I/O standards
  • Supports most popular and emerging single-ended and differential signaling standards including mini-LVDS and RSDS
  • Programmable input delay – used to eliminate hold time violations
  • 5 densities- Up to 1.6M system gates
  • Supports DDR memory
  • Expanded PCI 64/66 compliance and PCI-X 100 MHz compatible
Multi-level memory architecture
  • Up to 231 Kb Distributed SelectRAM+™ Memory
  • Up to 648Kb Embedded Block RAM
  • Popular external memory Interfaces
Configurable logic blocks
  • Two slices per CLB – 4 LUT / registers per CLB plus extra carry logic for math and logic functions
  • Wide-input functions – 8:1 mux in one CLB
  • Fast arithmetic functions – Two look-ahead carry chains per CLB column
  • Four cascadable 16-bit addressable shift registers
Precise clock management resources
  • All digital delay-locked loop (DLL) in each DCM
  • Up to 8 Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) per device
  • Flexible frequency generation from 5 MHz to 300 MHz
  • Precision phase shift control for 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees
  • Fine grain control (1/256 clock period) for clock data synchronization
  • Precise 50/50 duty cycle generation
