Welcome to the 2010 FPGA and
CPLD Solutions Resource Catalog
In the midst of turbulent economic, technological and market conditions throughout 2009, the
Xilinx design community embodied a spirit of innovation. You placed your bets on fewer, highly
differentiated end product designs, leveraging cost-effective, flexible, programmable solutions
to fuel inventiveness across a wide range of markets.
In this year’s edition of the FGPA and CPLD Solutions Resource Catalog, you’ll learn more about
the best-in-class programmable platforms – silicon, software, IP, boards, kits, reference designs
– Xilinx and our ecosystem partners are delivering to hardware and software designers. You
can pick and choose from a variety of Targeted Design Platform options to jumpstart your
development projects in 2010, taking advantage of open standards, common design method-
ologies, development tools, and run-time platforms.
Our flagship Virtex®-6 and Spartan®-6 FPGA platforms fully exploit the benefits of Moore’s
Law to deliver increased performance, densities and system-level functionality, while driving
down cost and power consumption. Virtex-6 is ideally suited to compute-intensive, high-speed,
high-density SoC applications, and Spartan-6 is targeted for applications where size, power,
and cost are key considerations. Each family serves as the foundation for simpler, smarter
programmable platforms, including: base (silicon, IP, logic tools, boards, reference designs),
domain-specific (embedded processing, DSP or logic/connectivity IP & tools, FMC daughter
cards), and market-specific (IP, custom tools & boards).
In the coming year, we see tremendous opportunities
in electronics infrastructure applications, such as
wired communications, 3G and LTE wireless deploy-
ment requiring high performance DSP processing
in excess of 1000 Giga operations per second and
packet processing at a rate of more than 100 Gbps.
Green IT will need power efficient, high perfor-
mance, compute architectures to exploit high level
parallel computing. The smart grid will rely on pro-
grammable, flexible appliances and metering. And
finally, surveillance and security will require sophisticated image processing algorithms.
Altogether, these compute-intensive applications are ideally suited to the performance and
flexibility of today’s leading edge FPGAs.
We look forward to witnessing again the magnificent spirit of innovation you’ll bring to the
diverse markets you serve. It’s just this spirit that led to the invention of the programmable
chip 25 years ago by Xilinx founder and 2009 National Inventors Hall of Fame inductee Ross
Freeman. A spirit that is alive within today’s designers who – like Ross – have the courage to
imagine and create the ‘impossible.’
