Description

Spartan 6 FPGA Board provides a powerful and highly advanced self-contained development platform for designs targeting the Sixth Generation Spartan 6 FPGA from Xilinx. It features, dual-register six-input LUT logic structure, 9152 logic elements, 589,824 Bits of RAM, and a 32 bit RISC processor.

The sixth generation in the Spartan FPGA Series enables system developers to meet demands for new features, while at the same time reducing system costs by up to half for lower-power, ”greener” products. Supporting applications such as automotive infotainment, flat-panel displays, multi-function printers, set-top boxes, home networking, and video surveillance, Spartan-6 FPGAs offer an optimal balance of low risk, low cost, low power, and high performance.
