Click to enlarge PDFThe competitively priced Xilinx Platform Flash configuration memory devices reduce the amount of board space required for configuration. They enable a system-level drop-in solution that maximizes the flexibility of Virtex and Spartan FPGA-based systems and helps to significantly reduce design efforts and accelerate time to market.
Platform Flash Benefits
- Smallest area per megabit
- Reduces configuration board space with the VO20 and the FS48 packages
- One configuration memory family from 1-Mbit to 32-Mbit
- Simplifies manufacturing flow and reduces inventory cost
- Provides for storage of up to 50% more bits, allowing the use of a smaller density, lower cost configuration memory
- Simplifies manufacturing flow and board test
- Enables easy field upgrades
- SelectMAP mode (PDF) decreases FPGA configuration time by bursting out bitstreams in 8-bit increments
- Increases effective configuration memory density in high density-range of devices
