xc3s1500-4fgg456c

The Xilinx XC3S1500-4FGG456C is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the Spartan-3 family. This family is engineered for high-volume, cost-sensitive consumer electronic applications, providing a low-cost, high-performance logic solution.

The XC3S1500-4FGG456C features densities of up to 74,880 logic cells and supports up to 633 I/O pins. It offers a data transfer rate of 622+ Mb/s per I/O and supports various signal standards, including 18 single-ended and 8 differential I/O standards like LVDS and RSDS. The device includes SelectIO™ interface signaling with Digitally Controlled Impedance termination and a signal swing range from 1.14V to 3.465V.

Logic resources include abundant logic cells with shift register capability, wide fast multiplexers, fast look-ahead carry logic, and dedicated 18x18 multipliers. Memory resources consist of SelectRAM™ hierarchical memory, with up to 1,872 Kbits of total block RAM and up to 520 Kbits of total distributed RAM. The FPGA also incorporates Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) for clock skew elimination, frequency synthesis, and high-resolution phase shifting, supported by eight global clock lines and abundant routing.

This FPGA is designed for applications requiring flexible, high-performance logic. Its features make it suitable for consumer electronics, embedded systems, and other high-volume applications where cost and performance are critical factors.
