EP4CE15E22C8N contro Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX9

We usually hear questions like “ Is Altera Cyclone IV EP4CE15E22C8N or Xilinx Spartan-6 proper for my Progettazione PCB?", oppure “Quanto è la loro capacità??". Although both of them are FPGA, there are some differences between these two if we explore their specification carefully.

Know About the Specification of Altera Cyclone IV EP4CE15E22C8N

EP4CE15E22C8N in Altera Cyclone IV family gains much popularity from PCB component buyers. Prima di tutto, it contains 15408 logic elements, which is not the top one among its family but sufficient to handle the requirement of most PCB designs. Anche se 504 Kbits embedded memory and 56 embedded 18×18 multipliers are of middle level in the product range, it possesses the largest amount of general-purpose PLL(Phase Locking Loop), totally four units. Oltretutto, 20 global clock networks, which is the best configuration in this product range, are equipped in EP4CE15E22C8N. When it comes to the Input or output, we highly recommended due to its good cost performance since EP4CE15E22C8N has eight user I/O bank with 343 maximum user I/O.

Cosa c'è di più, it is packed in the form of QFP-144 and weights about 110 g. The work voltage for it is from 1V to 1.2V. The work temperature range for it is 0 per 70 centigrade degree. Ultimo, ma non per importanza, it is programmable for specific requirement if you have a good command of integrated circuits and computing knowledge.

Know About the Specification of Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX9
