The Spartan?-6 family provides leading system integration capabilities with the lowest total cost for high-volume applications. The thirteen-member family 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, the Spartan-6 family offers a new, more efficient, dual-register 6-input lookup table (LUT) logic and a rich selection of built-in system-level blocks. These include 18 Kb (2 x 9 Kb) block RAMs, second generation DSP48A1 slices, SDRAM memory controllers, enhanced mixed-mode clock management blocks, SelectIO? technology, poweroptimized high-speed serial transceiver blocks, PCI Express? compatible Endpoint blocks, advanced system-level power management modes, auto-detect configuration options, and enhanced IP security with AES and Device DNA protection. These features provide a lowcost programmable alternative to custom ASIC products with unprecedented ease of use. Spartan-6 FPGAs offer the best solution for high-volume logic designs, consumer-oriented DSP designs, and cost-sensitive embedded applications. Spartan-6 FPGAs are the programmable silicon foundation for Targeted Design Platforms that deliver integrated software and hardware components that enable designers to focus on innovation as soon as their development cycle begins.

Spartan?-6 FPGA SP605评估板
The Spartan?-6 FPGA SP605 Evaluation Kit conveniently delivers all the basic components for developing broadcast, wireless communications, automotive, and other cost- and power-sensitive applications that require transceiver capabilities in one ackage. Along with the evaluation board, cables, and documentation, the SP605 Evaluation Kit provides an integration of hardware, software, intellectual property (IP), and pre-verified reference designs so development can begin right out of the box.
The SP605 Evaluation Kit provides a flexible environment for higher-level system design, including applications that implement features such as high-speed serial transceivers, PCI Express?, DVI, and/or DDR3. The SP605 evaluation board includes an industry-standard FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) connector for scaling and customizing to specific applications and markets. The integration of Xilinx development tools help streamline the creation of systems that adhere to complex requirements.
