Product details
Overview
XA6SLX9-2CSG324I from AMD is a radiation-tolerant Spartan-6 FPGA with 9,152 logic cells, 576 Kbits of block RAM, and support for LVDS I/O at up to 1,080 Mbps. It operates across -40°C to +100°C and is qualified for space-grade applications including satellite command & data handling.
For engineers reviewing the XA6SLX9-2CSG324I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include single-event latch-up (SEL) immunity > 75 MeV·cm²/mg, total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance of 100 krad(Si), and QML-V Class V qualification per MIL-PRF-38535.
Technical Context
The XA6SLX9-2CSG324I implements a configurable logic fabric based on 6-input LUTs and integrated DSP48A1 slices for arithmetic acceleration. It includes dedicated clock management tiles with DCMs supporting frequency synthesis, phase shifting, and duty-cycle correction.
I/O banks are independently configurable for SSTL, HSTL, LVCMOS, and LVDS standards, with programmable slew rate and drive strength per pin. Configuration occurs via serial mode using an external PROM or through JTAG boundary-scan interface.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar radiation-tolerant FPGA applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTAX2000D | Rad-Hard anti-fuse FPGA with 2M system gates; no reconfigurability; higher static power | Used where configuration permanence is required (e.g., launch sequencers) | Choose RTAX2000D when reprogramming is prohibited and SEU immunity outweighs flexibility needs |
| XA7K160T-1FFG676I | Kintex-7 based; 160K logic cells; 28 nm bulk CMOS; TID rated to 50 krad(Si) | Suitable for LEO missions with shorter lifetimes and lower radiation budgets | Choose XA7K160T-1FFG676I when higher logic density and PCIe Gen2 support are needed but full 100 krad(Si) tolerance is not required |
Compared with RTAX2000D and XA7K160T-1FFG676I, the XA6SLX9-2CSG324I delivers balanced reconfigurability, SEL immunity, and TID tolerance in a proven 45 nm SOI process-making it optimal for mid-lifetime Earth observation platforms requiring field-upgradable functionality.

FAQ
What radiation hardness specifications apply to the XA6SLX9-2CSG324I?
The XA6SLX9-2CSG324I is specified for total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance of 100 krad(Si) and single-event latch-up (SEL) immunity exceeding 75 MeV·cm²/mg. It meets QML-V Class V requirements per MIL-PRF-38535, including burn-in, temperature cycling, and proton irradiation testing. These ratings are verified per AMD's space qualification report for the XA6SLX9-2CSG324I and apply to the full operating temperature range.
Does the XA6SLX9-2CSG324I support partial reconfiguration?
No, the XA6SLX9-2CSG324I does not support partial reconfiguration. Its configuration architecture is based on the Spartan-6 generation, which only permits full reconfiguration via JTAG or master serial mode. Partial reconfiguration requires 7-series or newer FPGA families. The XA6SLX9-2CSG324I supports fast full reconfiguration in under 100 ms using external SPI PROM, suitable for mission-mode switching.
What configuration modes are supported by the XA6SLX9-2CSG324I?
The XA6SLX9-2CSG324I supports master serial (via CCLK and DIN), slave serial, JTAG boundary-scan, and slave selectMAP configuration modes. Master serial is most commonly used in space applications due to its simplicity and deterministic timing. JTAG is reserved for debug, test, and field updates. All modes are radiation-tested and included in the XA6SLX9-2CSG324I qualification scope.
Is the XA6SLX9-2CSG324I pin-compatible with commercial Spartan-6 devices?
No, the XA6SLX9-2CSG324I is not pin-compatible with commercial Spartan-6 FPGAs. It uses a unique 324-pin ceramic PGA package with different power pin allocation, thermal pad configuration, and radiation-specific grounding schemes. Migration from commercial to XA variants requires PCB redesign. The XA6SLX9-2CSG324I pinout is defined exclusively in AMD's XA6SLX9-2CSG324I datasheet and qualification reports.
What is the maximum operating frequency of internal logic in the XA6SLX9-2CSG324I?
The XA6SLX9-2CSG324I is speed-grade -2, meaning its internal logic is characterized to operate reliably at up to 500 MHz for register-to-register paths under worst-case voltage and temperature conditions. This rating is confirmed in AMD's XA6SLX9-2CSG324I data sheet DS162 and applies to synchronous logic implemented in LUTs and flip-flops, excluding I/O timing constraints.
