Broadest Cost-Optimized Portfolio
Whether designing an HDMI interface for 4K2K display, an RX beam former for portable ultrasound, or an entire mobile backhaul SoC solution, applications demanding low cost, low density programmable solutions have come to expect a broad feature set for varying levels of integration, performance and power.
The Xilinx All Programmable Cost-Optimized Portfolio comprises four families that are optimized for specific capabilities:
- Spartan®-6 FPGA for I/O optimization
- Spartan-7 FPGAs for I/O optimization with the highest performance-per-watt
- Artix®-7 FPGAs for transceiver optimization and highest DSP bandwidth
- Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoCs for system optimization with scalable processor integration
