| Use Virtex®-5 FPGA in Your Wireless Communications Solutions
Wireless equipment manufacturers developing all-IP network infrastructures must develop next-generation products that improve data-rate performance for voice, video, and data services across multiple standards and network topologies. The Virtex-5 family of FPGAs
helps build modern base station architectures with extremely high speed DSP base band, OFDM, MAC, and packet processing, and other wireless communications systems functions such as memory controllers, embedded subsystems, and protocol bridging.
The Virtex-5 FPGA provides high performance, flexibility and scalability with unique, cost-optimized platforms built on the following features:
High-density, high-speed, Reprogrammable ExpressFabric architecture
- Supports wire-speed throughput.
- Interconnects a combination of FPGA, ASIC, ASSPs, NPUs, CPUs, DSPs and memories with disparate protocols.
- Improves multiplexing functionality.
- Reduces power with fewer external interconnects.
- Maximizes utility by developing a common base station platform to support multiple wireless standards.
550Mhz 36 Kbit Dual-Port Block RAM / FIFO
- Accesses internal memory resources quickly.
- Reduces BOM and requirements for external memory when creating FIFOs and data buffers.
550 Mhz 25x18 DSP slice
- Accelerates radio communications algorithms such as the Digital Up Conversion/Down Conversion and Crest Factor Reduction.
- Saves valuable logic resources for other functions.
550Mhz Clock Management Tile (CMT)
- Designs high throughput applications with faster operating frequencies.
- Shares resources across functional blocks.
- Develops highly integrated System on a Chip designs with multiple clock domains.
SelectIO Technology
- Ensures highest possible throughput across standard/proprietary single-ended interfaces such as HSTL and SSTL, and differential interfaces such as LVDS.
- Interconnects a combination of FPGA, ASIC, ASSPs, NPUs, CPUs, DSPs and memories with disparate protocols.
- Replaces existing ASIC solutions with ease.
High-Speed GTP Transceivers (Virtex-5 LXT SXT)
- Replaces existing external transceivers reducing system power and cost
- 100Mbps – 3.75Gbps operational range
- Lowest power consumption in the industry at <100 mW at 3.2 Gbps
- Embedded PCI Express and Tri-mode Ethernet MAC blocks
Reduced Power Consumption
- Avoids less reliable mechanical heat reduction techniques, such as fans.
- Enables convection-only heat management.
- Sustains hermetically sealed equipment for longer periods of time.
Sparse Chevron Package
- Enables reliable high-speed I/O performance and design margin for demanding parallel I/O applications, including memory and standard interfaces.
- Reduces spurious noise in radio applications.
