Xilinx Product Innovation Highlighted

The world's highest-density FPGA, the Virtex-7 2000T device delivers greater than 2X the capacity and bandwidth offered by the largest monolithic devices while delivering the time-to-volume advantages of smaller die. Utilizing innovative 2.5D stacked silicon interconnect (SSI) technology, the Virtex-7 2000T FPGA integrates 2 million logic cells, 6.8 billion transistors and 12.5Gb/s serial transceivers on a single device, making it the world's highest capacity FPGA offering unprecedented system integration in addition to ASIC prototyping and ASIC replacement capabilities.

The Zynq-7000 family is the world's first extensible processing platform (EPP). This advanced class of product delivers a complete embedded processing platform that offers developers ASIC levels of performance and power consumption, the flexibility of an FPGA and the ease of programmability of a microprocessor.

Finally, the Spartan-6 FPGA Consumer Video Kit 2.0 co-developed with Xilinx Alliance Program Premier member Tokyo Electron Device, is based on the 45nm Spartan-6 FPGA family and provides a ready-to-use design platform that includes the latest software, design tools, and video-specific IP cores. The kit gives design teams a proven Targeted Design Platform methodology that enables simulating video algorithms in real time.
