The Spartan™ and Spartan-XL families are high-volume production FPGA solutions that meet all the key requirements for ASIC replacement, including high performance, on-chip RAM, core solutions, and prices. These products are suitable for applications where high volume approaches and is equivalent to mask programmed ASIC devices.
The Spartan and Spartan‑XL families are high‑volume production FPGAs designed for ASIC replacement and high‑speed logic designs. They offer on‑chip RAM, low cost, and unlimited re‑programmability, with both 5 V and 3.3 V versions available.
The datasheet lists device densities, logic cell counts, CLB architecture, I/O block capabilities, supported I/O standards, clocking features, and optional functions such as fast‑capture latches and output multiplexers. Detailed tables give maximum system gate counts, distributed RAM sizes, and I/O drive strengths for each device variant.

Spartan‑XL uses a 3.3 V supply with 5 V tolerant I/Os, and can also operate with a 5 V supply in TTL mode.
The families support system clock rates exceeding 80 MHz and internal performance over 150 MHz.
