XC6SLX16 FPGA Package XC2C384-10FTG256C Library
Posted by aazkune at
Hello I am looking for a FPGA XC6SLX16 library for design spark, I have the XC2C384-10FTG256C library, which have the same package, would be very grateful if somone could share this library.
Thank you very much

Hello Aitor,
The chip you are working with typically has 256 pins (or more) - my advice to you is to make your own schematic symbols and link them in a component with an existing or custom footprint. (Take care with ready made footprints for high pin density devices since they may not meet the design rules for your assembley process).
I find it is much easier to draw a useful schematic if a complex part is broken up into small functional blocks relevant to the actual design.
If your FPGA connects via a bus to memory or a processor with a fixed pin out you should allocate the FPGA pins to help the board layout. It is possible, for example, to connect an FPGA to DRAM using a two layer board with an optimum pin slection on the FPGA but if you just use automatic or standard allocation you may need 8 layers.
I don't use ANY standard components in my designs (I do often start off with a standard footprint and modify it but I always make schematic symbols and components from scratch.)
(I use Easy PC which is the commercial parent of DesignpPark but I think the comments apply equally to both.)
