Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix (-L1) and package type (FT256) against design requirements. Confirm that the industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +100°C) matches the operational environment. Ensure compatibility with the 1.2V core voltage supply. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during assembly. Validate pinout assignments for the FBGA-256 footprint.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when 14579 logic elements and 576 kbit block RAM are sufficient for the target design. Consider the -L1 speed grade if 1.08 GHz performance meets timing constraints. Evaluate the FBGA-256 package size against board space limitations. Compare against smaller LX variants if resource usage is lower. Verify I/O bank voltage requirements for interface compatibility.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the AMD Spartan-6 LX series, designed for high-volume, cost-sensitive applications. It bridges the gap between entry-level FPGAs and higher-end Virtex devices. The LX family emphasizes low power consumption and rich embedded resources. It serves as a scalable platform for consumer electronics and industrial automation.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Spartan-6 LX parts with identical logic density but different packages or speed grades, such as XC6SLX16-2FTG256I. Cross-family migration to Artix-7 may require redesign due to architectural differences. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility before replacing existing components on a PCB.
