XC7S6-1CPGA196C

Overview

The XC7S6-1CPGA196C is a member of the AMD (formerly Xilinx) Spartan-7 family, designed to provide high-performance FPGA logic in a compact 8x8mm chip-scale package. Featuring 6000 logic cells and 184320 bits of total RAM, it is optimized for cost-sensitive applications requiring low power consumption and high I/O density. This variant operates on a 1.0V core voltage and offers 100 available I/O pins for flexible system interfacing.

Why Choose This Part

The 196-CSPBGA package provides 100 I/O pins in a very small 8x8mm footprint, ideal for space-constrained PCB designs. With a typical standby current of 150uA and a low 1.0V core voltage, it offers an excellent performance-per-watt profile for edge devices.

Applications

Getting Started

Development is primarily done using the AMD Vivado Design Suite (WebPACK edition supports this device for free). To evaluate this silicon, engineers often use the Spartan-7 SP701 Evaluation Kit or Arty S7 development boards. A JTAG programmer, such as the Xilinx Platform Cable USB II, is required for bitstream loading and debugging via the integrated logic analyzer.
