Product details
Overview
XA6SLX45-3FGG484Q from AMD is a radiation-tolerant Spartan-6 FPGA with 43,661 logic cells, 2.7 Mb of total block RAM, and 186 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 latch-up (SEL)-immune operation for space-grade avionics systems.
For engineers reviewing the XA6SLX45-3FGG484Q datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include radiation tolerance level, I/O voltage support (1.2 V/1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V), configuration interface (SelectMAP, JTAG, SPI), and SEU mitigation capability in LUTs and BRAM.
Technical Context
The XA6SLX45-3FGG484Q implements a fully static, 4-input LUT-based architecture with integrated DSP48A1 slices (108 units), clock management tiles (CMT) containing DCMs and PLLs, and multi-standard SelectIO technology supporting SSTL, HSTL, LVCMOS, and LVDS interfaces. Configuration is performed via internal configuration memory using Master SPI or Slave SelectMAP mode.
It features built-in configuration security including bitstream encryption (AES-256) and HMAC authentication, and supports partial reconfiguration for dynamic function swapping in mission-critical payloads without full device reset.
