Our "Success Made Simple" philosophy has driven the development of the Xilinx Family of design solutions. With flexibility and Time-to-Market reduction as fundamental requirements of today's logic designers, Xilinx offers:

LogiCore

Escalating design complexity and time-to- market pressures coupled with high-density and high-performance programmable logic devices are driving the need for complex library functions.

LogiCores are system-level logic functions from Xilinx and our Alliance partners. These drop-in modules come predesigned and extensively preverified to reduce development time, cost and risk.

Communications Systems

Xilinx is an established supplier to the worldwide communications industry, providing high-performance programmable logic for data communications and telecommunications systems. These rapidly evolving markets are characterized by changing standards, last-minute design iterations and unrelenting pressure to design and produce products quickly.

This is the largest single Xilinx market and is continually supported with the latest advances in programmable logic technology, yielding fast time to market, rapid prototyping and cost reduction via mask programmed devices.

Traditional communication systems have largely relied on discrete components for such support circuits as cell buffers, FIFOs, DMA controllers and data paths. Advances in high-density FPGA architectures such as the XC4000EX offer communications designers on-chip dual port and synchronous SRAM functions plus general purpose control logic to enable cost-effective, system-based solutions.

FPGA-Based DSP

By performing signal processing functions in parallel and directly in hardware, Xilinx FPGA-Based DSP solutions offer you high performance at a much lower cost than traditional DSP approaches. FIR filter sample rates of over 75 million samples per second can be readily achieved.

Typical applications include: image, video and audio processing; pattern recognition and communications.

High-performance and low-cost DSP design solutions are available to jumpstart your design. Numerous reference designs have been outlined in full detail to guide you in implementing the design and modifying it to your exact needs.

Standard Interfaces

If your application connects to a standardized interface, Xilinx programmable logic provides you with a flexible, fast time-to-market solution.

  • PCI - High performance, high-density devices, many with on-chip RAM, provide an excellent platform for PCI-compliant interface design.
  • PCMCIA - Xilinx offers over 40 devices in TQFP and VQFP packages for PC-Card applications. Features include low-power SRAM technology, 3.3V operation and very low cost.
  • Plug-and-Play ISA - Our free design kit speeds the enabling of your ISA-based design for Plug-and-Play operation.
  • USB - We are developing solutions for the USB standard now.
  • Lowering the cost of High-Performance DSP

    Reconfigurable Architectures on DemandTM(RADD)

    RADD covers a broad range of products summarized as those utilizing an SRAM FPGA's reconfigurability feature in an "in-system, dynamic manner." This allows the programmable logic device to provide numerous functions through reconfiguration.

    RADD's main benefits are several orders of magnitude of performance increase (over conventional DSPs or microprocessors) and a dramatic gate count/cost decrease since the FPGA gates can be reconfigured in real-time.
