Product Summary

The Spartan-3E Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) XC3S500E-4FTG256C is specifically designed to meet the needs of high volume, cost-sensitive consumer electronic applications. The device offers densities ranging from 100,000 to 1.6 million system gates. The XC3S500E-4FTG256C builds on the success of the earlier Spartan-3 family by increasing the amount of logic per I/O, significantly reducing the cost per logic cell. New features improve system performance and reduce the cost of configuration. The XC3S500E-4FTG256C, combined with advanced 90 nm process technology, delivers more functionality and bandwidth per dollar than was previously possible, setting new standards in the programmable logic industry.
