Comprehensive configuration capabilities
The broadest flash memory support including Platform Flash, SPI and parallel Flash memories allow lowest cost configuration.
- Platform Flash
- Convenience of a single source supplier for FPGA and flash memory
- Advanced features such as JTAG, bitsteam compression, design revisiton tracking
- High speed programming
- MultiBoot capability allow multiple configurations (PDF)
- Failsafe upgrading
- Application control of the bitstream selection
- replacement of large ASIC or multiple FPGAs with a single Spartan-3 generation FPGA
- Third-party support for parallel, high-speed BPI configuration mode
- Fast parallel configuration speeds
- Easily procured through standard channels
- Commonly found on low-cost systems
- For larger densities, memory can be used for configuration and system functions
