  1. The Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA EGRE 631 2/2/09

  2. Basic types of FPGA’s • One time programmable • Reprogrammable (non-volatile) • Retains program when powered down • SRAM-based reprogramable • Must be reprogrammed each time powered up • This is usually accomplished by using a small serial PROM. • The Nexys 2 board contains a Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA

  3. Spartan-3E ArchitectureFundamental Elements • Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) • Consists of RAM based look up table to implement logic and storage elements that can be used as flip-flops or latches. • Input Output Blocks (IOBs) • Controls the flow of data between IO pins and internal logic. Supports many different signal standards. (Tri-state, bidirectional, LVTTL, etc. • Block RAM (BRAM) • 18 bit Multiplier Blocks • Digital Clock Manager (DCM)

  4. CLB’s

  5. Spartan 3 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLB’s) • CLBs contain Ram based lookup tables to implement logic and storage elements that can be used as flip-flops or latches. • CLBs can be programmed to perform a wide variety of logic functions as well as store data.

  6. Spartan 3E IO Blocks (IOB’s) • IOB’s control flow of data between IO pins and the internal logic. • Each IOB supports bidirectional data flow, 3-state operation, and numerous different signal standards. (We will typically use LVTTL). See data sheet.

  7. • Very low cost, high-performance logic solution for high-volume, consumer-oriented applications • Multi-voltage, multi-standard SelectIO™ interface pins - Up to 376 I/O pins or 156 differential signal pairs - LVCMOS, LVTTL, HSTL, and SSTL single-ended signal standards - 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, and 1.2V signaling
