Overview:
Xilinx has pioneered the low cost FPGA industry with the world's most widely used low-cost FPGA - the Spartan device families. Cumulatively to date Xilinx has shipped over 100 Million Spartan devices to customers world wide. Spartan-3 is the latest generation of this family. It is also the world's first and ONLY production FPGA on the 90nm production node. With close to 1 million units shipped to hundreds of customers world wide, Spartan-3 validates Xilinx leadership in process technology - which allows us to bring even lower costs to you.
Besides being the lowest cost FPGAs in the market today, Spartan-3 devices also have various platform features that can reduce minimize device utilization as well as reduce total system complexity - both lowering your Bill-of-Material costs. Xilinx is committed to helping you lower your system cost by enabling you to fit your design in the smallest FPGA and by teaching you to utilize some of our on-chip features to minize your PCB manufacturing costs.
This seminar will focus on some design techniques that can help you design for the lowest device utilization possible - allowing you to use a smaller device or integrate even more of the system onto the FPGA fabric. We will also discuss some Spartan-3 features that can reduce your PCB area and number of layers.
