Hello!

I develop board based on Spartan-6 and now impossible to know how Spartan-6 will used.

I need to develop power supply for maximum power consumption.

Could you point me to document about SPARTAN-6 LXT Power Data (maximum current value) for VCCint, VCCIO, VCCpll, etc., please?

-- Regards, Jack
 

Xilinx has some calculation spreadsheets (XPower Estimator aka XPE), with which you can calcalculate the required power supply.
Here is the link:
Xilinx : Power Solutions

On the same page there are links to documents about it, video demonstrations etc ...
If you are using ISE® Design Suite, then there is the XPower Analyzer included.

Hello. Thank you.
I familar with Xilinx power estimator, but I develop board like
"development board" and don`t have any data about end user application
that will be running on board. So I need maximum rating for power.
 

Xilinx never give the information on any published article, you can get that info from a Xilinx FAE or do a very rough estimate yourself. Check out all the IOs you are using in your design, create a excel sheet with the number of signals, the voltage of all the VIOs and the maximum load you think they will have, then add 10% to it, estimate the core current by creating a dummy project with lots of memory and lots of flip flops and use as many DCMs as you can and use the power estimator to do a calculation for you, then add something between 10 and 15% to the value and you will have a pretty close estimate on how much your maximum current is.
I did something similar to it for a project I did for Spartan IIIE and it was a bit over estimated but on the safe side.
