Kintex UltraScale FPGAs

Cutting-Edge 20 nm Technology

The AMD (formerly Xilinx) Kintex UltraScale FPGA brings ASIC-class performance, clock management, and power management to a highly capable, next-generation 20 nm chip.

This user-programmable, reconfigurable FPGA enables increased system performance from its 8.2 TeraMACs of DSP compute performance, multiple speed grades, and 16G backplane-capable transceivers.

Kintex UltraScale keeps a focus on cost-effective, performance-oriented logic processing with its next-generation stacked silicon interconnect (SSI) technology and high DSP and block RAM-to-logic ratios.

Scalable, Rapid-Transmitting Signaling

Boasting more than half a million LEs, 424,000 logic cells, and almost 2,000 DSP slices, as well as Gen3 PCI Express interfaces, the highly-capable Kintex UltraScale FPGA is able to rapidly receive and transmit signals in even the harshest of environments to ensure signal integrity when it matters most.

X-ES offers an FPGA Development Kit (FDK) for our boards that support the Kintex UltraScale FPGA, which includes an X-ES tested and proven example design that assists developers and allows them to focus on application development and not on hardware integration.

Virtex-7 FPGAs

Incredible Logic Performance in a Small Package

The AMD (formerly Xilinx) Virtex-7 family of FPGAs offer unprecedented levels of logic processing and performance, all confined within a power-efficient, 28 nm chip.

Its scalable architecture offers up to two million logic cells, 6.8 billion transistors, and 12.5 Gb/s serial transceivers in a single device.

X-ES takes advantage of the Virtex-7’s high-bandwidth, low-latency processing in order to deliver unparalleled performance in rugged environments on 3U VPX, XMC, and 6U LRM FPGA processor cards.

Achieve New Levels of Signal Processing

Virtex-7 FPGAs are precision-engineered to deliver cutting-edge performance all packed into a single chip, which offers further reduced power consumption than comparable multi-chip solutions.

Even the most demanding logic-processing applications will benefit from the ultra-high-end bandwidth, high throughput, and capacity that Virtex-7 FPGAs can consistently deliver.

X-ES offers an FPGA Development Kit (FDK) for our Virtex-7 FPGA modules, which includes an X-ES tested and proven example design that assists developers and allows them to focus on application development and not on hardware integration.

Boosting Innovation in Embedded Systems

AMD (formerly Xilinx) Artix-7 FPGAs meet the unique requirements of size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) required by the aerospace, defense, and communications industries.

Highly versatile and cost-effective, the Artix-7 boasts an impressive array of features while maintaining the industry’s best performance-to-power ratio among low-end FPGAs. Its remarkable efficiency makes the Artix-7 an excellent choice for a diverse set of applications including medical, software-defined radio, and military equipment.

Why We Use the Artix‑7

X-ES primarily uses the AMD (formerly Xilinx) Artix-7 as an FPGA-based VME-to-PCIe bridging solution. Chosen for its long life, high performance-per-watt, and cost efficiency, the Artix-7 has proven to be an effective substitute for the discontinued Tsi148 VME bridge.

The Artix-7 is also a familiar architecture for our engineers, who have incorporated AMD Artix-, Kintex-, and Virtex-7 FPGAs into many X-ES board designs. Our extensive experience with the 7 Series serves as the basis for continued innovation.
