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

Xilinx and Avnet provide a comprehensive offering of Spartan®-6 FPGA evaluation and development kits that enable designers to achieve an optimum balance of cost, power and performance.

Xilinx® Spartan-6 FPGA SP601 and SP605 Evaluation Kits simplify development of FPGA-based SoCs for consumer, infotainment, video, and other cost or power-sensitive applications. As a Xilinx Base Targeted Design Platform, each kit provides the hardware, software, IP, example designs, and documentation needed to design right out of the box.

The SP601 Evaluation Kit is a low-cost, entry-level environment for evaluating the Spartan-6 FPGA family with system design capabilities that include DDR2 memory control, flash, Ethernet, general-purpose I/O, and UART to name a few. The SP605 Evaluation Kit is a highly scalable base platform for developing low-cost applications requiring connectivity with high-speed serial transceivers, DDR3 memory control, DVI, parallel linear flash, and Tri-mode Ethernet.

Avnet introduces the first-ever battery-powered Xilinx FPGA development board with the Xilinx Spartan-6 LX16 Evaluation Kit, featuring Texas Instruments battery management devices and power regulation circuitry and the Cypress PSoC® 3 Programmable System on Chip with embedded 8051 for an ultra-low-power controller. Avnet also offers the full-featured Xilinx Spartan-6 LX150T Development Kit for designing and verifying applications based on the Spartan-6 LXT FPGA family.
