ARE YOU BEING ASKED to

make your next-generation product

design connect to a high-bandwidth

network with an unfamiliar or a yet-to-

be-deﬁned protocol? Are you making

the transition from parallel to serial

I/O chip-to-chip communications?

Or do you just need the highest-serial

bandwidth, most reliable multi-gigabit

transceivers the industry has to offer?

You are not alone. Serial

connectivity is no longer just the

design domain of communications

engineers. Today, a growing number

of designers in the consumer,

automotive, industrial control,

broadcast equipment, aerospace and

defense markets are being tasked with

developing products that employ multi-

gigabit serial transceiver technology

to communicate with next-generation,

high-demanding, high-speed networks.

Today’s quest for more bandwidth

and better efﬁciency means that many

designers like you must quickly get

up to speed with the analog nuances

of multi-gigabit serial transceivers.

Luckily, Xilinx® has engineered its

Targeted Design Platforms to help you.

Over the last two decades, the world’s

top telecommunications companies

have relied upon Xilinx FPGAs’ mix

of logic functionality, high-speed

memory, parallel connectivity, and

serial I/O capabilities to create every

generation of modern communications

equipment.

With many years of experience

serving the communication markets,

Xilinx is able to help designers in a

broad set of markets to quickly master

gigabit serial transceiver technology

and leverage it to create innovative

products.

In 2009, Xilinx introduced both

of its next-generation FPGA families

— the high performance Virtex®-6

family and low-cost Spartan®-6 family

providing Xilinx customers access to a

full line of serial transceiver-rich FPGAs

that can easily maintain line rates from

up to 3.2Gbps in the Spartan-6 family,

to up to 6.5Gbps in its Virtex-6 LXT

devices, all the way beyond 11Gbps in

the Virtex-6 HXT devices.

What’s more, Xilinx announced

this full range of serial connectivity-

enabled FPGAs as the foundation

of its new Targeted Design Platform

strategy—combining the full line of

transceiver-rich FPGAs with world-class

tools, validated IP, reference designs,

training, and support all delivered

in domain and market speciﬁc kits.

The Targeted Design Platforms allow

customers to get their products to

market faster than ever before.

With the ISE® Design Suite,

customers can now get started on

their designs targeting Virtex-6 HXT

devices, as well as enhanced support

for Spartan-6 LXT and Virtex-6 LXT and

Virtex-6 SXT devices. Over the next

several months, Xilinx will deliver a

number of connectivity enabled design

kits targeting wired, wireless broadcast

video, packet processing, and trafﬁc

management application using either

Virtex-6 devices for high performance,

or Spartan-6 devices for low cost.

documentation, videos, links to

software and IP downloads, and much

more for helping you get up to speed

no matter which fast lane you’re on.
