Description

The XC6SLX4-2CSG225C model is a member of the Spartan-6 family of FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) by XILINX. This family offers leading system integration capabilities with the lowest total cost for high-volume applications. Specifically, this model delivers expanded densities ranging from 3,840 to 147,443 logic cells, with half the power consumption of previous Spartan families, and faster, more comprehensive connectivity. Built on a mature 45 nm low-power copper process technology that delivers the optimal balance of cost, power, and performance. Furthermore, it offers a new, more efficient, dual-register 6-input lookup table (LUT) logic, and a rich selection of built-in system-level blocks.
