7 Series DSP48E1 User Guide www.xilinx.com 7UG479 (v1.10) March 27, 2018PrefaceAbout This GuideXilinx® 7 series FPGAs include four FPGA families that are all designed for lowest powerto enable a common design to scale across families for optimal power, performance, andcost. The Spartan®-7 family is the lowest density with the lowest cost entry point into the7 series portfolio. The Artix®-7 family is optimized for highest performance-per-watt andbandwidth-per-watt for cost-sensitive, high volume applications. The Kintex®-7 family isan innovative class of FPGAs optimized for the best price-performance. The Virtex®-7family 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 onthe 7 series FPGAs, which is available on the Xilinx website atwww.xilinx.com/documentation.Guide ContentsThis manual contains the following chapters:• Chapter 1, Overview• Chapter 2, DSP48E1 Description and Specifics• Chapter 3, DSP48E1 Design Considerations• Appendix A, CARRYOUT, CARRYCASCOUT, and MULTSIGNOUTAdditional Documentation ResourcesThe following documents provide useful supplemental material to this guide:1.
