The XC6SLX16-2FTG256C is a Xilinx Spartan-6 LX family FPGA with 14, 579 logic cells built on 45nm CMOS, supplied in a 256-ball FTBGA package. It runs from a 1.2V core supply (1.14V to 1.26V), provides 186 user I/Os, 18, 224 registers, 1, 139 logic blocks and 72kB of RAM, and supports frequencies to 667M Hz. An FPGA is a field-programmable logic array whose function is defined by a configuration bitstream loaded at power-up, so the same silicon implements different logic depending on the design compiled into it. Xilinx lists this device at Production lifecycle status with a 0C to +85C commercial rating, MSL 3, lead free and RoHS compliant, supplied in trays of 90.

Mid-density Spartan-6 FPGAs are used for glue logic and bus bridging, motor and power-stage control, image and sensor data pre-processing, protocol conversion between legacy and modern interfaces, and custom I/O expansion where an off-the-shelf ASSP does not exist. They appear widely in industrial automation, machine vision, medical imaging, test and measurement instruments, broadcast video gear and communications infrastructure. Because Spartan-6 is a mature family, much of today's demand is sustaining supply for shipping products and MRO stock rather than new design-in, so buyers are industrial and medical OEMs, defense and aerospace sustainment programs, and contract manufacturers sourcing authenticated Xilinx inventory.
