Description

The XC6SLX45-3CSG324I is an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) electronic component model that belongs to the Spartan-6 family with low power consumption. With an optimal balance of cost, power, and performance built on a mature 45 nm low-power copper process technology, it provides leading system integration capabilities with the lowest total cost for high-volume applications. The Spartan-6 family delivers expanded densities ranging from 3,840 to 147,443 logic cells, which offers an efficient, dual-register 6-input lookup table (LUT) logic and a rich selection of built-in system-level blocks such as 18 Kb (2 x 9 Kb) block RAMs, second-generation DSP48A1 slices, memory controllers, clock management blocks, SelectIO™ technology, power-optimized high-speed serial transceiver blocks, PCI Express® compatible Endpoint blocks, and more. It provides an excellent solution for high-volume logic designs, consumer-oriented DSP designs, and cost-sensitive embedded applications, serving as the programmable silicon foundation for Targeted Design Platforms that deliver integrated software and hardware components.
