  1. Spartan Series FPGAs

  2. Introducing the Xilinx Spartan Series • New Xilinx solution for high-volume applications • No compromises • Performance, RAM, Cores, and Low Price • Advanced process technology leap • XC4000 heritage • Powerful software tools • Most successful FPGA architecture • Total cost management

  3. No Compromises • High performance • On-chip SelectRAM memory • CORE solutions available • PCI LogiCORE + AllianceCORE solutions • Complete software solutions available • Lowest cost • Addresses key needs of high volume logic users

  4. Total Cost Management Relative Cost 1993 4 Assembly Test 3 Silicon 1995 Majority of cost is back end (assembly, test, overhead) 1996 2 1997 1 0 0.6u FPGA 0.6u FPGA 0.5u FPGA Advanced 2LM 3LM 3LM 0.5u FPGA Spartan Series addresses all aspects of cost

  5. Total Cost Management • Leading edge process technology • Smallest die size of any FPGA with on-chip RAM • Focused package offering • Low-power architecture allows use of highest volume plastic packages • Streamlined test flow • Lower cost test hardware, built-in self-test features, shorter test times • Optimized manufacturing flows

  6. 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 Priced for High-Volume Leadership 200K • New Applications • Set Top Box • DVD • Digital Camera • PC Peripherals • Consumer Electronics 100K Density (System Gates) 60K 100K 60K 25K 40K 10K Gates/$ in 2002! 15K 100K unit volume price projections

  7. Spartan Naming • Logic cells are the best comparison metric • Spartan part name uses “System Gates” • Includes both RAM and Logic • Matches ASIC industry terminology • Consistent with future FPGA families XCS##XL-3PC84C XL = 3.3 Volt no XL = 5 Volt XCS = Spartan ## = System Gates

  8.
