The extended Spartan-3A family supports a fully compatible path between SRAM and non-volatile FPGAs, offering a non-volatile, single-chip solution. These devices offer a large, low cost FPGA user Flash memory, as well as broad support for low-cost commodity flash configuration. Moreover, the family provides a broad offering of device package combinations, the most comprehensive intellectual property (IP) library, and a selection of AMD and third-party development boards and kits. Designers can spend less time and money developing their own IP, while leveraging pre-verified IP that requires fewer chip resources. AMD Spartan-3A devices are low cost SRAM FPGAs with built-in power management modes and minimal power rail support required. The dual power management modes provide instant power savings and eliminate the need for expensive external components such as regulators, heat sinks, buffers, etc. The suspend mode enables up to 40% static power savings, as well as quick wake up time and system-level synchronization. The hibernate mode uses the lowest possible quiescent power with a unique ability to completely power off. The extended Spartan-3A family delivers one of the highest functionalities of any major low cost FPGA. It features dedicated DSP blocks, delivering an average of 70% logic efficiency over a gates-plus-multipliers implementation and functionality that enables ASIC-equivalent performance without requiring an additional co-processor chip. As mentioned earlier, the family also provides full Linux embedded processing support with the AMD MicroBlaze™ processor.
