General Description
Xilinx® 7 series FPGAs comprise four FPGA families that address the complete range of system requirements, ranging from low cost, small form factor, 
cost-sensitive, high-volume applications to ultra high-end connectivity bandwidth, logic capacity, and signal processing capability for the most demanding 
high-performance applications. The 7 series FPGAs include:
• Spartan®-7 Family: Optimized for low cost, lowest power, and high 
I/O performance. Available in low-cost, very small form-factor 
packaging for smallest PCB footprint.
• Artix®-7 Family: Optimized for low power applications requiring serial 
transceivers and high DSP and logic throughput. Provides the lowest 
total bill of materials cost for high-throughput, cost-sensitive 
applications.
• Kintex®-7 Family: Optimized for best price-performance with a 2X 
improvement compared to previous generation, enabling a new class 
of FPGAs.
• Virtex®-7 Family: Optimized for highest system performance and 
capacity with a 2X improvement in system performance. Highest 
capability devices enabled by stacked silicon interconnect (SSI) 
technology.
