Product Advantages

Design Confidently

AMD takes our commitment to long lifecycles very seriously. We are pleased to announce that support is formally being extended for Spartan 6 devices until at least 2030.


Spartan 6 Product Advantage

Spartan™ 6 devices offer industry-leading connectivity features such as high logic-to-pin ratios, small form-factor packaging, MicroBlaze™ soft processor, and a diverse number of supported I/O protocols. Ideally suited for a range of advanced bridging applications found in consumer, automotive infotainment, and industrial automation.
