Xilinx Adds Three Devices to 65nm Virtex-5 Family

(Product News, 6 Feb 2008)

Xilinx Inc. has introduced three devices and small form factor packaging to its 65nm Virtex-5 LX and LXT FPGA platforms. The addition of Virtex-5 LX155 device to the logic-optimized LX platform, and the addition of the LX20T and LX155T devices plus a small footprint FF323 package to the Virtex-5 LXT platform with transceivers will enable levels of optimization for industrial networking, medical imaging, motor control, defense and high-performance computing applications.

The Virtex-5 family offers designers an advanced, and available, 65nm FPGA technology and the only FPGAs with built-in PCI Express Endpoint and tri-mode Ethernet MAC blocks. The Virtex-5 LXT platform gives designers an off-the-shelf serial connectivity solution that saves time, reduces power consumption and frees up valuable FPGA fabric resources. The hardened PCI Express endpoint block saves users up to 10,000 LUTs and over 2W of power as compared to soft IP core implementations, while its 3.75Gbps GTP transceivers consume less than 0.1W each at 3.2Gbps.
