Hello:
This is a question/comment for the Xilinx people here. Is there a technical (or Marketing) reason that there are not more FPGA's that have lots of logic and RAM resources in a very small package. FOr example an XC3S1500 in a VQ100 or VQ44? I have applications which I need very few I/O but need lots of logic. For example, a CPU that streams A/D data in serially and spits data back out serailly.
Also, BRING BACK Ceramic PGA! I understand its an expensive package, but with the high cost of FPGAs, I would rather pay the money to have easier PCB and hand assembly. I love FPGAs work but hate working with BGA's. Its expensive to protoype with. It would nice to lots more logic and RAM in the QFP packages!
