New circuits that support I/O intensive devices launched

BENGALURU, INDIA: Xilinx has announced the Spartan-7 field programmable gate array (FPGA) that support I/O intensive devices for cost-sensitive applications.

A FPGA is an integrated circuit designed to be configured by a customer or a designer after manufacturing.

The new circuits will provide up to 4X price-performance-per-watt improvement over previous generations for flexible connectivity, interface bridging, and companion chip functionality.

The new family will be co-optimized with 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.

They will address connectivity requirements across automotive, consumer, industrial IoT, data center, wired and wireless communications and portable medical solutions, the company said in a press release.
