Xilinx Fmax Technology

Fmax Technology

ISE™ software is powered by Xilinx Fmax technology, delivering the industry's fastest logic performance. By leveraging the unique features of the 65nm Virtex™-5 FPGA family, ISE delivers the industry's fastest FPGA performance.

Xilinx Fmax technology is an industry-unique combination of software and capabilities including:

  • Next-generation physical synthesis optimizations
  • Design retiming — dynamically moves registers to balance combinatorial logic delays
  • Timing-driven mapping — delivers a more timing-aware placement phase, allowing packing decisions to be made earlier and then revisited when initial results are less than optimal
  • Global optimization — takes a fully mapped design and improves performance by re-optimizing combinatorial and register logic
  • Logic optimization —- uses a combination of Logic Duplication, Logic Recombination, Element Switching, and Pin Swapping to optimize design performance
  • Integrated Xplorer — Automatically helps you find the ideal design results through multiple implementation runs using different place and route settings and constraints

This industry-unique technology helps solve logic engineers' number one problem - timing closure; while reducing design time, and getting you through to project completion faster. The result is the lowest cost in logic design, whether you're making handheld CPLD-based consumer applications, or high-speed, leading-edge FPGA-based products.

  • The Interactive Timing Closure environment allows users to automatically cross-probe between floorplanning, timing analyzer, constraints manager, design summary report
  • Up to a "speed grade for free" performance advantage over competing solutions with ISE Fmax technology
  • Dramatic improvements in runtimes for tightly constrained designs.
