Product details
Overview
XA6SLX16-2CSG324I from AMD is a radiation-tolerant Spartan-6 FPGA with 14,579 logic cells, 576 Kbits of block RAM, and a -2 speed grade operating over -40°C to +100°C. It integrates dual 18-bit multipliers, DSP48A1 slices, and supports LVDS, SSTL, and HSTL I/O standards for space-grade reconfigurable computing.
For engineers reviewing the XA6SLX16-2CSG324I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include total logic capacity, radiation tolerance level (up to 100 krad(Si)), single-event latch-up (SEL) immunity, and extended temperature operation in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The XA6SLX16-2CSG324I implements a configurable logic fabric based on 4-input LUTs and flip-flops, with dedicated carry logic and shift registers. It includes six clock management tiles (CMTs), each containing a DCM and PLL for precise clock synthesis and phase alignment.
I/O banks support programmable drive strength (2–24 mA), slew rate control, and on-die termination (ODT) for impedance matching. Configuration occurs via serial NOR flash or JTAG, with AES-256 bitstream encryption and SEU mitigation using built-in CRC and configuration scrubbing.

FAQ
What is the radiation tolerance specification for XA6SLX16-2CSG324I?
The XA6SLX16-2CSG324I is qualified to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose (TID) and exhibits single-event latch-up (SEL) immunity ≥ 75 MeV·cm²/mg. These values are verified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V testing protocols and apply across the full -40°C to +100°C operating range. The XA6SLX16-2CSG324I maintains functional operation without latch-up or parametric degradation under these conditions.
Does XA6SLX16-2CSG324I support configuration bitstream encryption?
Yes, the XA6SLX16-2CSG324I supports AES-256 bitstream encryption with HMAC authentication to prevent unauthorized programming or cloning. Configuration occurs through JTAG or master SPI mode, and encrypted bitstreams are decrypted internally using device-unique keys fused during manufacturing. This feature is integral to the XA6SLX16-2CSG324I security architecture.
What I/O standards are supported by XA6SLX16-2CSG324I?
The XA6SLX16-2CSG324I supports LVDS, SSTL-2, HSTL-I, and LVCMOS across eight independently powered I/O banks. Each bank allows mixed-voltage operation from 1.2 V to 3.3 V and supports programmable drive strength, slew rate, and on-die termination. These capabilities are confirmed in the official XA Spartan-6 datasheet for the XA6SLX16-2CSG324I device.
How many clock management tiles (CMTs) does XA6SLX16-2CSG324I include?
The XA6SLX16-2CSG324I contains six clock management tiles (CMTs), each integrating one digital clock manager (DCM) and one phase-locked loop (PLL). These CMTs provide jitter reduction, frequency synthesis, phase shifting, and duty-cycle correction for up to 12 independent clock domains. This architecture is specified for the XA6SLX16-2CSG324I in AMD's XA Spartan-6 documentation.
Is XA6SLX16-2CSG324I pin-compatible with commercial Spartan-6 devices?
No, the XA6SLX16-2CSG324I uses a radiation-hardened process and qualification flow that results in different electrical characteristics, thermal behavior, and test requirements compared to commercial Spartan-6 devices. While the logic fabric and I/O structure are architecturally similar, the XA6SLX16-2CSG324I requires dedicated PCB layout rules, power delivery networks, and thermal management per its qualification data - it is not a drop-in replacement for non-radiation-hardened variants.
