关于XA Spartan-3E FPGA
XA Spartan-3E FPGA系列满足大批量成本敏感汽车电子应用要求。该系列的五款器件提供从10万至160万系统门不同密度和不同封装组合。XA器件同时提供扩展温度范围Q-Grade (-40°C 至 +125°C Tj) 和 I-Grade (-40°C 至 +100°C Tj)器件，并且符合业界公认的AEC-Q100标准。与此前的器件相比，这些90nm器件单位美元成本提供了更多功能和I/O带宽，在可编程逻辑行业确立了新标准。由于其超低成本，XA Spartan-3E FPGA提供了优异的替代解决方案，避免了ASIC和ASSP的高掩膜成本和长开发周期。
一.Spartan-3E FPGA系列
The Spartan-3E family of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is specifically designed to meet the needs of high volume, cost-sensitive consumer electronic applications.
The five-member family offers densities ranging from 100,000 to 1.6 million system gates.The Spartan-3E family builds on the success of the earlier Spartan-3 family by increasing the amount of logic per I/O, significantly reducing the cost per logic cell. New features improve system performance and reduce the cost of configuration.
These Spartan-3E enhancements, combined with advanced 90 nm process technology, deliver more functionality and bandwidth per dollar than was previously possible, setting new standards in the programmable logic industry.
Because of their exceptionally low cost, Spartan-3E FPGAs are ideally suited to a wide range of consumer electronics applications, including broadband access, home networking, display/projection, and digital television equipment.
The Spartan-3E family is a superior alternative to mask programmed ASICs. FPGAs avoid the high initial cost, the lengthy development cycles, and the inherent inflexibility of
conventional ASICs. Also, FPGA programmability permits design upgrades in the field with no hardware replacement necessary, an impossibility with ASICs.
