TOKYO ELECTRON DEVICE ANNOUNCES THE INDUSTRY'S HIGHEST
PERFORMANCE VIRTEX-5 LX 330 EVALUATION PLATFORM
Rapid Design and Evaluation Platform of High-Speed Systems
with Low-Cost FPGA Configuration Solution
|
Santa Clara, CA., March 14, 2007 - Tokyo Electron
Device, Ltd. (TED), today announced it has developed the highest performance
multi-application evaluation platform for the XilinxR Virtex-5 LX
330 and its family, which today is the industry's highest density
and highest performance FPGA in the market. TED's new Virtex-5 LX
Multi-Application Evaluation Platform enables efficient design and
evaluation of a wide range of high-speed applications, including consumer
products such as high definition televisions, set-top boxes and printers,
as well as telecommunications equipment, medical devices and miscellaneous
industrial equipment.
"As a leading Xilinx's distributor in Japan, TED is pleased to
have again collaborated with Xilinx in developing this new Virtex-5
evaluation platform," said Toshiaki Sunagawa, president and representative
director of TED. "The Virtex-5 family is the flagship FPGA for
Xilinx and a key new addition to our line of inrevium board products."
Built with TED's inrevium? TE7725PF, a low-cost FPGA configuration
control LSI, the Virtex-5 LX Multi-Application Evaluation Platform
meets the rapidly growing market demand for a development environment
that enables design engineers to rapidly evaluate high-speed interface
technologies such as DDR2-SDRAM and LVDS. The Virtex-5 LX platform
also features:
- Xilinx XC5VLX110 or 220 or 330-1FF1760, the industry's first
65nm FPGA and Xilinx's flagship high density and performance FPGAs
- On-board DDR2-SDRAM chips (667Mbps) and DDR2 SO-DIMM slot to
evaluate high-speed memory access
- Reference design of high-speed DDR2-SDRAM memory interface
- 10/100 Ethernet, RS232C and LVDS interface ports
- Expansion I/O ports for optional interface boards including
DVI Tx/Rx, Camera Link, Optical Link and USB
- " High Efficiency DC/DC fÊModule from Linear Technology (LTM4600)
The TE7725PF is a second generation FPGA configuration controller
from TED. The TE7725PF enables the configuration of the Xilinx FPGA
with a NOR flash memory (up to 256Mbit) on the board instead of using
conventional PROMs. By sharing a flash memory chip on the board both
for CPU boot memory and FPGA configuration data, the TE7725PF helps
to significantly reduce board size and total costs.
Pricing and Availability
All Virtex-5 LX110/220/330 platforms are available now, with prices
starting at US$4,980. The platform is available through TED's worldwide
distributor partners, HiTech Global Distribution, LLC (http://www.hitechglobal.com)
and Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. (http://www.nuhorizons.com).
