Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array - FPGA - part # XA3S500E-4FTG256I

Introduction

XA devices are available in both extended-temperature Q-Grade (–40°C to +125°C TJ) and I-Grade (–40°C to +100°C TJ) and are qualified to the industry recognized AEC-Q100 standard.

The XA Spartan-3E family builds on the success of the earlier XA Spartan-3 family by increasing the amount of logic per I/O, significantly reducing the cost per logic cell. New features improve system performance and reduce the cost of configuration. These XA Spartan-3E FPGA enhancements, combined with advanced 90 nm process technology, deliver more functionality and bandwidth per dollar than was previously possible, setting new standards in the programmable logic industry

Because of their exceptionally low cost, XA Spartan-3E FPGAs are ideally suited to a wide range of automotive applications, including infotainment, driver information, and driver assistance modules.

The XA Spartan-3E family is a superior alternative to mask programmed ASICs and ASSPs. FPGAs avoid the high initial mask set costs and lengthy development cycles, while also permitting design upgrades in the field with no hardware replacement necessary because of its inherent programmability, an impossibility with conventional ASICs and ASSPs with their inflexible hardware architecture.
