CUSTOMER BULLETIN
XILINX SHIPS WORLD'S LARGEST FPGA DEVICE
Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced the immediate availability
and shipment of its Virtex-4 LX100 device, the world's highest capacity
FPGA. Featuring over 110,000 logic cells and a host of embedded
functionality - the LX100 integrates larger designs than any other
FPGA available. In addition to its industry-leading capacity and
feature set, the Virtex-4 family delivers the highest performance
and lowest power consumption of any high density FPGAs.
The LX100 joins the LX25, LX60, and SX35 devices already available
in the Virtex-4 family. Xilinx has six times more FPGA devices available
at the 90nm-process node than any other vendor and leads the industry
in 90nm device options.
With the introduction of the LX100, design engineers now have a
flexible, high-performance, low power and cost-effective alternative
to ASICs and ASSPs for high complexity designs.
Each Virtex-4 LX100 Device Includes:
- Triple-Oxide 90nm CMOS Process, reducing power consumption by
a factor of six as compared to competing 90-nm FPGAs
- Unique ASMBL architecture, optimized for high-performance logic
applications
- 96 500MHz XtremeDSP™ Slices, delivering aggregate DSP performance
of 48 GigaMACs per second at record-setting power-efficiency levels
of 23uW/MHz
- 4.3 Mbits of 500MHz SmartRAM™, configurable synchronous
dual-port Static RAM, featuring integrated FIFO control logic
to build fast FIFOs without consuming logic cell resources.
- 960 I/Os featuring 1 Gbps performance and ChipSync source synchronous
technology with integrated bit and word alignment circuitry and
SERDES available on every I/O
- 500MHz DCM™ Digital Clock Managers, offering sub-30ps timing
resolution and the world's most advanced clock synthesis and timing
capabilities
- 500MHz high-performance on-chip differential clock networks
for highest precision control of skew and duty-cycle
About Xilinx Virtex-4 Platform FPGAs
Enabled by the revolutionary ASMBL (Advanced Silicon Modular Block)
architecture, Virtex-4 FPGAs deliver more options than any other
FPGA family available today. With more than 100 technical innovations,
the Virtex-4 family consists of 17 devices and three domain-optimized
platforms: Virtex-4 LX FPGAs optimized for logic-intensive designs,
Virtex-4 SX FPGAs optimized for high-performance signal processing,
and Virtex-4 FX FPGAs optimized for high-speed serial connectivity
and embedded processing. A multi-platform approach makes it possible
for customers to select the optimal mix of resources for their application
to achieve the highest functionality and breakthrough performance
at the lowest cost.
