Supported Xilinx FPGA/CPLDs: Spartan-6 LX, Spartan-6 LXT

The Xilinx® Spartan®-6 FPGA DSP Kit provides a complete development platform for implementing DSP algorithms on low-cost, low power Spartan-6 FPGAs. As a Xilinx DSP Targeted Design Platform, this kit provides the hardware, software, IP, and Targeted Reference Designs needed to get started right out of the box.

At the heart of the Spartan-6 FPGA DSP Kit is the Avnet AS-LX150T development board featuring the Spartan-6 LX150T device. The Spartan-6 FPGA family offers an optimized balance of connectivity, memory, and DSP hardware resources. As the largest device in the family, the Spartan-6 LX150T FPGA provides more than enough hardware resources for even the most demanding high-volume DSP applications.

With the Spartan-6 DSP Development Kit, system designers spend less time developing the infrastructure of a design and more time building differentiating features into DSP applications. The kit also serves as the starting point for market-specific DSP design platforms with scalable building block architecture, Targeted Reference Designs, and hardware ecosystem of industry-standard FMC daughter card extensions.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• High-volume DSP applications using Spartan-6 LX150T FPGA with 180 enhanced DSP48E1 slices that deliver up to 50 GMACs of DSP performance
• Develop DSP applications without RTL design experience using System Generator for DSP software with The Mathworks Simulink® and MATLAB® DSP modeling environments
• Targeted Reference Designs supply pre-verified design infrastructure and starting point for DSP development
• Extensible to vertical market applications with two industry-standard FMC connectors and ecosystem of FMC I/O daughter card providers
• Get started quickly with graphical user interface that guides new users on basic kit operation
