Product Summary

The XC3S700A-4FTQ256C Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) solves the design challenges in most high-volume, cost-sensitive, I/O-intensive electronic applications. The XC3S700A-4FTQ256C is part of the Extended Spartan-3A family, which also include the non-volatile Spartan-3AN and the higher density Spartan-3A DSP FPGAs. The XC3S700A-4FTQ256C builds on the success of the earlier Spartan-3E and Spartan-3 FPGA families. New features improve system performance and reduce the cost of configuration. These Spartan-3A family enhancements, combined with proven 90 nm process technology, deliver more functionality and bandwidth per dollar than ever before, setting the new standard in the programmable logic industry. The XC3S700A-4FTQ256C family is a superior alternative to mask programmed ASICs. FPGAs avoid the high initial cost, lengthy development cycles, and the inherent inflexibility of conventional ASICs, and permit field design upgrades.
