Instant-On FPGA Solutions: ispXPGA

The ispXPGA family of FPGA devices allows the creation of high-performance logic designs that are both non-volatile and infinitely re-configurable. Other FPGA solutions force a compromise, being either re-programmable, or reconfigurable, or non-volatile. This FPGA family offers all of these capabilities with a mainstream architecture containing the features required for today's system-level design.

The ispXPGA FPGA family is available in two options. The standard device supports sysHSI capability for ultra fast serial communications and the "E-Series", a high-performance, low-cost FPGA device with no sysHSI functionality.

Note: 8 PLLs with global clocks and low-skew clock nets per device.
* "E-Series" does not support sysHSI.
