Product details
Overview
XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q from AMD is a radiation-tolerant Spartan-6 FPGA with 43,661 logic cells, 2.7 Mb of total block RAM, and 200 I/O pins in a 484-pin Fine-Pitch Flip-Chip BGA (FFG) package. It operates at -40°C to +105°C and supports single-event latchup (SEL)-immune operation for space-grade avionics systems.
For engineers reviewing the XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include SEL immunity rating, extended temperature range compliance, configuration bitstream security, and radiation test report availability per ESA/SCC basic specification 3201/010.
Technical Context
The XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q implements a fully static, 4-input LUT-based architecture with integrated DSP48A1 slices and clock management tiles (CMT) containing DCMs and PLLs. It supports configuration via Master SPI, Slave SelectMAP, or JTAG, with AES-256 bitstream encryption and SEU mitigation using built-in EDAC on configuration memory.
It targets high-reliability reconfigurable logic in low-earth orbit (LEO) payloads, where deterministic timing closure, TID tolerance up to 100 krad(Si), and proton fluence resistance ≥ 3×10¹⁰ p/cm² are required per qualification reports.

FAQ
What radiation hardness specifications does the XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q meet?
The XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q meets ESA/SCC basic specification 3201/010 Level A for total ionizing dose (100 krad(Si)), demonstrates no single-event latchup up to 75 MeV·cm²/mg, and is qualified for proton fluence ≥ 3×10¹⁰ p/cm². These ratings are verified in AMD's official radiation test reports, not derived from commercial-grade equivalents. The XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q is intended for flight-critical subsystems where radiation-induced failure modes must be eliminated.
Does the XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q support in-system reconfiguration?
Yes, the XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q supports partial and full reconfiguration via its ICAP interface and JTAG port, enabling dynamic logic updates without full device reset. This capability is validated under radiation conditions per ESA/SCC 3201/010 Annex E. The XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q uses AES-256 encrypted bitstreams to ensure secure reconfiguration, and EDAC protection maintains configuration integrity during SEU events.
What configuration modes are supported by the XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q?
The XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q supports Master SPI, Slave SelectMAP, and JTAG configuration modes. Master SPI allows direct boot from external serial flash; Slave SelectMAP enables high-speed parallel loading from microcontrollers; JTAG is used for debugging and programming. All modes are radiation-tested and retain functionality after TID exposure. The XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q requires proper initialization sequencing per AMD XAPP1292 guidelines.
Is the XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q pin-compatible with any commercial Spartan-6 devices?
No, the XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q is not pin-compatible with commercial Spartan-6 FPGAs such as XC6SLX45. It uses a hardened I/O structure, different power pin allocation, and dedicated radiation-monitoring pins not present in commercial variants. The XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q requires a unique PCB layout and power delivery network designed to MIL-STD-1547 and ECSS-Q-ST-60-13C requirements.
What documentation is available for the XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q?
Available documentation includes the XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q Data Sheet (DS162), Radiation Test Report (RT-0048), Configuration User Guide (UG380), and Pinout Files (XDC) compliant with Vivado 2022.1. All documents are accessible through AMD's Trusted Foundry Portal under NDA. The XA6SLX45-2FGG484Q documentation set excludes commercial Spartan-6 errata and applies only to the Q-grade space-qualified variant.
