Description Spartan 6 FPGA Core 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, 14579 logic elements (XCSLX16 has 5427 more logic elements than XC6SLX9 FPGA), 589,824 Bits of RAM, and an on chip 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. The standard 0.1in spaced headers allow Spartan-6 FPGA core board to be easily used with perforated / strip boards. Applications Image or video processing system High performance computing (parallel processing) Communications system Medical Electronics ASIC prototyping Consumer Electronics.
