Low cost FPGA Chips ?

Salam,

I search for a cheap fpga chip suitable for a beginner (I prefer Xilinx Family )

I can order it from RS Component Company.

Thanks in advance
 

Re: Low cost FPGA Chips ?

depending your voltage
spartan family are cheapest.
may be not so cheap the electronic to makethe right voltage.
Bye.

Hi, Xilinx will recommand you to use Spartan3 series (200k and 400k gates).
 

Re: Low cost FPGA Chips ?

Spartan is just about the biggest bang for the buck for I/O's, CLB and gates compared to major FPGA players such as Lucent, Atmel, @ltera, Actel and Quick Logic. However, RS does not have a variety in parts and they will probably have the lower members of Spartan series.

If you prefer xilinx,SpartanIII may be the best choice.

once i saw a quotation in a lab at my university. they were ordering SpartanIII FPGAs for us. i wanted to know what FPGA boards do u usually see in universities for undergraduate programmes. and is SpartanIII a great thing to start with???
 

Re: Low cost FPGA Chips ?

MEMIC has a cheap Spartan III Evaluation board "nice one" I believe it contains 200,000 gate with 200 $ "cheap", I don't remember the name exactly but it include "LC" so I guess it was spartan III LC### or ###LC check out memic

Hi all,

Xilinx is very very expensive. (FPGA + EEPROM or PROM)

Only ACTEL is low cost. and better than Xilinx.

best regards

Salam,

SpartanIII( 200k gates ) starter kit cost only 99$ !

I think @ltera 's Cylone series is good
 

Re: Low cost FPGA Chips ?

The MEMEC board is spartan -3 400 gate I miss typed it, the board name is Spartan-3 LC (no numbers) and it costs 200$. Infact, it is only 175$ if you r in USA
