About This Guide
Xilinx® 7 series FPGAs include four FPGA families that are all designed for lowest power
to enable a common design to scale across families for optimal power, performance, and
cost. The Spartan®-7 family is the lowest density with the lowest cost entry point into the
7 series portfolio. The Artix®-7 family is optimized for highest performance-per-watt and
bandwidth-per-watt for cost-sensitive, high volume applications. The Kintex®-7 family is
an innovative class of FPGAs optimized for the best price-performance. The Virtex®-7
family is optimized for highest system performance and capacity.
This guide serves as a technical reference describing the 7 series FPGAs DSP48E1 slice.
This 7 series FPGAs DSP48E1 slice user guide is part of an overall set of documentation on
the 7 series FPGAs, which is available on the Xilinx website at
www.xilinx.com/documentation.
