BANGALORE, INDIA: Xilinx Inc., has announced the Spartan 6Q family and Virtex -6Q family, its newest generation of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) qualified for meeting the rigorous requirements of the aerospace and defense market.

The new families include the industry’s first defense-grade FPGA based on the successful low-cost, low-power Spartan series, providing designers with a highly-flexible device that delivers industry-leading secure SWaP-C (size, weight, power and cost) benefits to applications requiring high levels of security, a release said.

Xilinx defense grade FPGAs are one-hundred-percent pin compatible to their commercial equivalent for seamless migration between prototyping and low rate initial production. They are fully tested and qualified to operate in extreme temperatures, while the Virtex-6Q device’s ruggedized plastic packaging using standard lead content eliminates tin-whiskering concerns and protects against caustic processes. The introduction of the first defense-grade Spartan family extends Xilinx Targeted Design Platforms for Aerospace and defense-grade applications to include secure mobility and similar applications with the same high reliability and long-term support offered by the Virtex series.
