Spartan™ XC4000/Spartan Architecture FPGA Product Selection Matrix FPGA Package Options and User I/O PROM Family Package Options charts  PROM Family and Compatible FPGAs charts Xilinx invented the FPGA in 1984 and has continued to introduce new products at a rapid pace, keeping up with customer demands for higher density, faster performance, and lower cost. Along the way, Xilinx has pioneered new architectural features and technologies while maintaining industry-leading device performance and user flexibility. Our latest FPGA families are based on the proven XC4000 Series architecture. The XC4000X Series provides the features needed for densities up to 500,000 system gates, while the Spartan Series provides the lowest cost solution for up to 40,000 system gates. Both provide high speed, on-chip RAM, and extensive software support, including core solutions. This "socket security" enhances time to market by enabling you to lay out your PCBs early in the design cycle and not worry about redesigns due to logic changes.
