A high-volume production FPGA solution that meets all the essential criteria for ASIC replacement up to 40,000 gates is the Spartan and Spartan-XL FPGA families. These specifications include on-chip RAM with excellent performance, core solutions, and prices that, in circumstances of high production, XCS05 approach and frequently match those of mask-programmed ASIC devices.
The Spartan series delivers the essential features needed by ASIC and other high-volume logic users while avoiding the upfront costs, protracted development times, and inherent risk of conventional ASICs. This is done by streamlining the Spartan series feature set, utilizing advanced process technologies, and putting a strong emphasis on total cost management.
