CUSTOMER BULLETIN
XILINX SHIPS VIRTEX-4 LX200:
WORLD’S HIGHEST DENSITY FPGA
Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced the immediate availability
of its Virtex-4™ LX200 device - the world’s highest density FPGA. With
over 200,000 logic cells, the LX200 has 30 percent more logic capacity
than the closest competing FPGA. In addition to logic, the device features
a host of unique embedded IP functions such as built-in FIFO control logic
and dedicated circuitry for memory and source synchronous interfaces in
every I/O cell which dramatically boost the effective logic density. The
LX200 also provides the industry’s highest performance, while reducing
power by as much as 5 Watts and simultaneously switching output (SSO) noise
and crosstalk by 7 times compared to competing 90nm FPGAs. With these capabilities,
the LX200 device builds on the company’s vast experience in delivering
industry-leading device densities, providing practical solutions for the
tough challenges of high-density, high-performance FPGA and ASIC applications.
The Virtex-4 LX200 FPGA provides:
-
200,448 logic cells, 30 percent more logic resources than the closest competitor
-
15 percent faster fabric on average than the closest competing 90nm FPGA
-
6,048 Kbits of 500 MHz block RAM with unique built-in FIFO control logic
and ECC for highest performance and lowest power consumption
-
96 XtremeDSP™ slices, each supporting 500 MHz 18x18 multiply and accumulate
(MAC) operations while consuming a mere 2.3 mW/100 MHz
-
Up to 960 I/Os (448 differential pairs) with unique ChipSync™ source-synchronous
circuitry in every I/O
-
Hardware-proven support for all major memory interfaces including DDR2
SDRAM, DDR SDRAM, QDR II SRAM, and RLDRAM II
-
As much as 5 Watts lower power per FPGA compared to competing 90nm FPGAs
as a result of unique triple-oxide technology and embedded IP
-
Up to 7 times less simultaneously switching outputs (SSO) noise and crosstalk
compared as to competing FPGAs (as demonstrated by independent industry
expert Dr. Howard Johnson)
The Virtex-4 family including the LX200 FPGA is supported today by version
7.1i of the Xilinx industry-leading Integrated Software Environment (ISE™)
tools and largest library of IP functions.
