TYPES OF FPGA FROM XILINX

FPGA DEFINTION

DEFINITION:• Field Programmable Gate Arrays(FPGAs) are semiconductor devices that are based around a

matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) connected via programmable interconnects. FPGAs

can be reprogrammed to desired application or functionality requirements after manufacturing.

INVENTION OF FPGA

• XILINX co-founders Ross Freeman and  Bernard Vonderschmitt invented the first

commercially viable field-programmable gate array in 1985 – the XC2064 The XC2064 had

programmable gates and programmable interconnects between gates, the beginnings of a new

technology and market. The XC2064 had 64 configurable logic blocks (CLBs), with two

three-input lookup tables (LUTs).It is also known as XC2000.

TYPES OF FPGA FROM XILINX

• Spartan• Virtex• Kintex• Artix

FPGA:SPARTAN

• The Spartan series targets applications with a low-power footprint, extreme cost sensitivity and high volume, replacements for fixed logic gate arrays and application specific standard products.

FEATURES OF 7 SERIES FPGA• low-power variant of 28nm process technology• The 7 series FPGAs combine power reducing process, design techniques, and

architectural enhancements to deliver the lowest power consumption, compared to previous generation FPGAs:

• Breakthrough 50% Power Reduction• Greater than 2X System Performance• Dramatically Reduced Development Time

FPGA:KINTEX-7

• The Kintex-7 family is the first Xilinx mid-range FPGA family that the company claims delivers Virtex-6 family performance at less than half the price while consuming 50 percent less power.

KINTEX-7

• Industry’s Best Price Performance FPGA’S

• 50% low power than previous generations

• High range(3.3v) and high performance(1.8v) I/O

• The Kintex family includes high-performance 12.5 Gbit/s or lower-cost optimized

6.5 Gbit/s serial connectivity, memory, and logic performance required for

applications such as high volume 10G optical wired communication equipment,

and provides a balance of signal processing performance, power consumption and

cost to support the deployment of Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless networks.

ARTIX-7

• The Artix-7 family delivers 50 percent lower power and 35 percent lower cost

compared to the Spartan-6 family and is based on the unified Virtex-series

architecture. Xilinx claims that Artix-7 FPGAs deliver the performance required to

address cost-sensitive, high-volume markets previously served by ASSPs, ASICs,

and low-cost FPGAs

ARTIX-7

• lowest power, lowest cost and small form factor FPGA

• Upto 16 6.6 GBPS Serial transrecievers

• High Range (3.3V) I/O

• The ARTIX family is designed to address the small form factor and low-power

performance requirements of battery-powered portable ultrasound equipment,

commercial digital camera lens control, and military avionics and communications

equipment.

7 SERIES FPGA FAMILIES

FPGA:ZYNQ

• The Zynq-7000 family of SoC’s addresses high-end embedded-system applications,

such as video surveillance, automotive-driver assistance, next-generation wireless,

and factory automation.

•  In 2013, Xilinx introduced the Zynq-7100, which integrates  (DSP) to meet

emerging programmable systems integration requirements of wireless, broadcast,

medical and military applications

FPGA:ZYNQ

• Zynq-7000 integrate a completeCORTEX-A9-processor-based 28 nm

system. The Zynq architecture differs from previous marriages of

programmable logic and embedded processors by moving from an

FPGA-centric platform to a processor-centric model.

•  For software developers, Zynq-7000 appear the same as a standard,

fully featured ARM processor-based system-on-chip (SOC), booting

immediately at power-up and capable of running a variety of operating

systems independently of the programmable logic.

Benefits of FPGA’s• Real-time analysis of high-rate data streams (Performance)• Deterministic hardware dedicated to every task (Reliability)• Nonrecurring engineering expenses (Reconfigurability )• Radiation Hardened and Program Integrity. (Durability)• Flexible and rapid prototyping (Development)
