Product details
Overview
XA6SLX16-2CSG225Q from AMD is a radiation-tolerant Spartan-6 FPGA with 14,579 logic cells, 512 KB block RAM, and 186 user I/Os in a 225-pin CSGA package; designed for space-grade reconfigurable computing in satellite command/data handling and payload processing.
For engineers reviewing the XA6SLX16-2CSG225Q datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include TID rating (100 krad(Si)), SEL immunity (> 60 MeV·cm²/mg), and support for JESD78 Class II compliance in harsh radiation environments.
Technical Context
This FPGA implements a fully static, 4-input LUT-based architecture with integrated DSP48A1 slices and clock management tiles (CMT) containing DCMs and PLLs. It supports LVDS, LVPECL, and SSTL I/O standards across all banks with programmable slew rate and drive strength.
The device features configuration via Master Serial (SPI) or SelectMAP modes, with built-in SEU mitigation through CRC checking and optional dual-port RAM scrubbing. Configuration memory is hardened against single-event upsets using triple modular redundancy (TMR).
Key Specifications
