Hello and a warm welcome to this edition of the Proactive Components, Inc. blog. We are now making an attempt to introduce you to the companies behind the components you use regularly in your manufacturing.

If Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) figure significantly in your manufacturing, chances are high that you are using Xilinx components. Xilinx is the company credited with inventing FPGAs. The company is the market leader in the programmable logic devices (PLD) niche, manufacturing a wide range of PLD components, including FPGAs, 3D ICs and SoCs.

Xilinx FPGAs find applications in varied markets such as aerospace, automotive, broadcast, consumer electronics, data storage, computing, security solutions, home automation products, and wired and wireless communications.

Xilinx manufactures FPGAs under different families with different specification to cater to specific applications. These include the Spartan, Artix, Virtex, and Kintex FPGA families. This blog looks at the Spartan 6 series FPGAs. Our extensive inventory comprises practically the entire range from this family.

The Spartan 6 series FPGAs from Xilinx are best suited for low power, cost sensitive applications. These FPGAs are available with advanced memory support, up to 150,000 logic cells and maximum 8 transceivers with 3.2Gbps speed.

Part number XC6SLX9-2CSG225C from this series is available with us for ready shipment. Specifications of this component are 9152 logic elements with 715 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) and 160 I/Os. This surface mount component functions well between 0 and 85 deg C temperature and at an operating supply voltage range of 1.14-1.26V.

Other components from this series available with us are part numbers XC6SLX9-3TQG144C and  XC6SLX9-3TQG144I.

Part number XC6SLX9-3TQG144C also offers 9152 logic elements and 715 LABs. With a total memory of 589824 RAM Bits, this component has 102 I/Os. Part number XC6SLX9-3TQG144C is surface mount compatible and has an operating temperature range of 0-85 deg Celsius and works at a supply voltage range of 1.14-1.26V.

Part number XC6SLX9-3TQG144I is identical to part number XC6SLX9-3TQG144C in all major respects. It differs only in its operating temperature range which is between -40 and +100 degree Celsius.
