Xilinx annoncerer Spartan-7 FPGA familien

Det netop introducerede Spartan-7 familie fra Xilinx sigter mod kostfølsomme applikationer, hvor der stilles krav om omfattende I/O-resurser (in english).

Xilinx has announced the Spartan-7 FPGA family that will deliver I/O intensive devices for cost-sensitive applications. The new family will address connectivity requirements across a breadth of markets including automotive, consumer, industrial IoT, data center, wired and wireless communications, and portable medical solutions.

All new Spartan-7 FPGAs will be supported on the no-cost Vivado Design Suite WebPACK Edition, as well as the Vivado Design and System Editions, to enable fastest time to integration and implementation.

The Spartan-7 FPGA family will deliver high I/O ratios in small form factor packages, critical for cost-sensitive markets. The family will provide up to 4X price-performance-per-watt improvement over previous generations for flexible connectivity, interface bridging, and companion chip functionality.

- Xilinx has a long history of providing cost optimized solutions with our Spartan class of products. The introduction of the Spartan-7 FPGA family re-affirms our continued commitment to that heritage and extends our multi-generational leadership in I/O density, small form factor packaging, and power efficiency, says Kirk Saban, Senior Director of FPGA & SoC Product Management and Marketing at Xilinx.

The new family will be co-optimized with the industry-leading Vivado Design Suite to deliver an IP-centric and system-centric development environment to address short development cycle requirements and aggressive time-to-market pressures common in cost-conscious markets. The Spartan-7 FPGA family will extend the existing Xilinx 7 Series portfolio, implemented in TSMC’s 28nm HPL process.
