Why You Should Buy the Xilinx XC6SLX150-2CSG484C FPGA
Buying the Xilinx XC6SLX150-2CSG484C Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is important because it enables faster configuration of your electronic device. The Look-up-Tables (LUTs) also serve as “remembrance” of the previous configurations so the digital designer shouldn’t have any difficulty finding out the last configurations on the board.
1. System Blocks
The configuration of the Xilinx XC6SLX150-2CSG484C isn’t tasking, thanks to the built-in system blocks. These blocks are designed to bolster the performance of the IC and to strike a balance between the cost and power of the circuit board.
The built-in system blocks include the two (2) 9-kilobyte block RAMs that are programmable to function independently.
2. Clocking Performance
What is the performance of the clock? First, you must understand that the Xilinx XC6SLX150-2CSG484C has a Clock Management Tile (CMT) that oversees the enhanced performance of the circuit board it is integrated into.
To enable this, different aspects of the CMT are deployed. Notable among these are the 16 low-skew global clock networks, flexible clocking, and low noise during clocking. The CMT also packs Phase-Locked Loops (PLL) that provide low-jitter clocking, and the removal of duty cycle distortion and clock skewing via the Digital Clock Managers (DCMs).
Xilinx XC6SLX150-2CSG484C’s Clock Management Tile (CMT) also provides phase shifting and frequency synthesis with simultaneous multiplications.
Factors to Consider When Buying FPGA
Several factors are worth considering when buying a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). These factors include
1. Make a list of the Important Peripherals
Be sure of the type of peripherals you expect to see on the Xilinx XC6SLX150-2CSG484C. These can range from memory, I/O and RAM. The goal is to have an idea of these relevant peripherals and to be sure they are available on the board before purchasing them.
2. What Will It Cost?
The cost of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) varies by the functionalities and components. For this reason, find out the likely cost of the board by requesting a quote.
A “smart way” of cutting down on the cost of Xilinx FPGA XC6SLX150-2CSG484C is by ordering multiple units.
