Product details
Overview
XC6SLX16-3CPG196C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-6 FPGA with 14,579 logic cells, 576 Kbits of block RAM, and 196-pin CSBGA package. It supports LVCMOS/LVTTL I/O standards, operates at -3 speed grade (fastest in Spartan-6 family), and targets low-cost embedded control and industrial interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC6SLX16-3CPG196C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O count (102 user I/Os), differential signaling support (LVDS, TMDS), embedded DSP48A1 slices (32 units), and configuration via SPI/BPI/master serial modes.
Technical Context
The XC6SLX16-3CPG196C implements a configurable logic fabric based on 6-input LUTs and flip-flops, with dedicated carry logic for arithmetic. It integrates 32 DSP48A1 slices supporting 18×18-bit multiply-accumulate operations and 576 Kbits of true dual-port block RAM distributed across 24 blocks.
Configuration is supported through multiple modes including master serial (SPI flash), slave serial, boundary-scan (JTAG), and BPI parallel. I/O banks are independently voltage-controlled (1.2V to 3.3V), enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing with LVDS, RSDS, and differential HSTL support.
