Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA Embedded Kit Accelerates Productivity and Programmable System Integration for FPGA-Based Soft Processor Systems

Xilinx, Inc. 5/24/2012 7:00 AM EDT

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced the Kintex™-7 FPGA

Embedded Kit, providing a ready-to-use development platform for system designers to quickly and easily implement

programmable system integration for applications where the processor needs to control different data streams, such as in video

and Ethernet switching, motor control, and medical imaging. As a Xilinx® 7 series FPGA, Kintex-7 devices offer the flexibility to

support changing standards, parallel processing and customizable interfaces with integrated functions like high performance

DSP, memory, analog and I/O interfaces, making it easier for designers to embed soft processors to control dataflow and

manage a number of interfaces in the system.

"Designers can reduce development time by using the Kintex-7 FPGA embedded targeted reference design that comes with

the kit as a stepping stone for building their customized embedded systems," said Raj Seelam, Xilinx Senior Marketing

Manager of Targeted Design Platforms. "The scalable, optimized architecture of Kintex-7 FPGAs allows customers to migrate

their designs across Xilinx's 28nm 7 series devices, maximizing design reuse and reducing time to market."

"Kintex-7 FPGAs are a great programmable platform for high performance embedded design," said Davor Kovacec, Xylon

CEO. "The new Embedded Kit uses our logiSDHC SD Card controller and logiCVC-ML display controller with associated SW

drivers, demonstrating how system designers can rapidly design HD video processing systems at 1080p60 video resolutions or

higher."
