Spartan 3 FPGA Family
Multiple Domain-Optimized Platforms Spartan 3 Generation
The Spartan™ 3 Generation of FPGAs offers a choice of five platforms, each delivering a unique cost-optimized balance of programmable logic, connectivity, and dedicated hard IP for your low-cost applications.
- Spartan 3A DSP– DSP Optimized
- For applications where integrated DSP MACs and expanded memory are required
- Ideal for designs requiring low cost FPGAs for signal processing applications such as military radio, surveillance cameras, medical imaging, etc.
- Spartan 3AN – Non-volatile
- For applications where non-volatile, system integration, security, large user flash are required
- Ideal for space-critical or secure applications as well as low cost embedded controllers
- Spartan 3A – I/O Optimized
- For applications where I/O count and capabilities matter more than logic density
- Ideal for bridging, differential signaling and memory interfacing applications, requiring wide or multiple interfaces and modest processing
- Spartan 3E – Logic Optimized
- For applications where logic densities matter more than I/O count
- Ideal for logic integration, DSP co-processing and embedded control, requiring significant processing and narrow or few interfaces
- Spartan 3 – For Highest Density and Pin-Count Applications
- For applications where both high logic density and high I/O count are important
- Ideal for highly-integrated data-processing applications
