About this manual

The Spartan and Spartan‑XL families are high‑volume FPGA solutions offering up to 40 000 system gates, on‑chip RAM, and performance beyond 80 MHz. They are available in both 5 V and 3.3 V versions and support a wide range of I/O standards.

The devices use configurable logic blocks (CLBs) with multiple lookup tables, flip‑flops, and optional latches (Spartan‑XL). Features include fast carry logic, programmable I/O thresholds, optional VCC clamping, and output drive of 12 mA or 24 mA. Detailed specifications are listed for each device density.
